“Obviously it’s Hamas’ fault Netanyahu blocked hostage deals to save his own skin”

by LauraK in Normal Island News on Substack

@palestine @israel

“Israel was given the October 7th blueprints two years earlier by spies in Gaza and those plans were studied by the IDF who described the coming invasion as ‘the biggest threat the Israeli Defence Forces are facing’. The IDF then decided to stop monitoring Hamas radio traffic (and banned civilians from doing so) because they saw this as a waste of effort. This is because they had more important things to focus on like monitoring western Twitter accounts for wrong-think. As you can see, Israel had its priorities in order.”

[..]

“I guess we’ll never know how failed to see the October 7th attacks coming and the IDF failed to mount a proper response for hours, but Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested the attacks were a gift from god and explained Israel would never have been allowed to eliminate Hamas if they’d not taken place.”

@GeriatricGardener @paninid @palestine @israel What a shitshow. I knew some of the mentioned things but all together pretty damning stuff. And all of it is ok for the leaders.

Imma stick my neck out here but this paper of M Friedman

The Methodology of Positive Economics

his argument means there is no useful distinction between say, theories of heliocentrism v geocentrism, germ theory v humors, spontaneous generation v infectious disease vectors.

that germ theory hypothesis is “unrealistic”, so is spontaneous generation and nothing can or should be said of them

somehow this passed academic muster.

@phil_stevens @economics-that-works @GhostOnTheHalfShell @economics @academicchatter Every time there is any political debate it always ends up on state debt. The percentages, 60% from gdp for total amount of debt and 3% for loss from budget get bandied around quite a bit from politician, officials and economists. The only ones who remember that Rogoff was bullshit are labeled as commies and therefore not listened to.

@geras @bookstodon I didn’t know that there was an edition with Vess. This means shopping.

@SimonRoyHughes @noctuaminervae @writingcommunity @academicchatter I'm looking forward of learning how to do it easily. It would be such a great tool for thinking and writing.
