Prepare for all the liberal newspapers suddenly discovering Israel has been doing war crimes and feeling a lot of sympathy for Palestinians.

Yeah, look at all of them "USA" markers on those ammunition casings. When USA was backing this. They're just as guilty.

Oh it's not so bad you see... They're the useful shell casings... Kids can play with them and everything! You want us to stop dropping toys for the kiddos? Monster /s

Next up, Gazans steal valuable military assets from the US. Children as young as five caught hoarding raw materials to make weapons of mass destruction.

What sort of casing is that? Doesn't look like anything JDAM related.

Yeah I get they're casings, but what from? More out of curiosity. Doesn't look like rocket pods. Maybe they carry artillery ammunition?

155mm propellant (MACS) which means it could be anywhere in range of 40km from impact. the closer it is, the less strain is put on howitzer barrels, less charges are used and accuracy goes up a bit

that, or a tank round container. MACS container should have markings 1.3C, 1.2E makes more sense for a tank round. in which case it was where tank crews reloaded, so close to their supply point, and not where they went out to

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 weeks ago

120mm containers would be more common because it's one shot per one box vs a couple at closer ranges for MACS. neither proves anything other than "there was military activity there" which is already known

I tried searching online. It suggested 155mm artillery ammunition or tank rounds based on the letters. But the pictures of the ammunition looks quite different from the online pictures of the casing. Going to need a weapons expert on this one.

155mm projectiles are screwed into a plank with a transport plug and loaded into a pallet this way, with fuzes shipped separately in a box

Fuck Israel, the US, and the media - but also Xitter video posts of media posts with speculative headlines.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The CBS video starts with "This is the scene filmed in in May by CBS news in Gaza" https://x.com/60Minutes/status/1878603779001536611

There is no speculation going on.

The problem with being the police of the world, is the police by their very existence allow for an imbalance to exist in the world. The haves, and the have nots, regardless of social system police are required so hoarding of resources can be maintained. Some also protect law and order, but it's obvious the first use is heavily used by the 1%. So when we are policing one countries invasion, and not another, we are tipping our hands as the police for one specific group, while actively paying for the destruction of another - Palastine/Ukraine.

I mean, if it ends the genocide, note that this is now undeniable proof of coordination between the “fourth estate” and the govt, and end the fuckin genocide.

Is it disgusting that now liberals will come out saying hey can’t believe what trump is doing in Gaza? Of fucking course. it’s goddamn sickening. But Jesus Christ whatever it takes to save these people.
