I'm starting to get the impression that israel is up to no good at all.

[-] Melkath@kbin.social 30 points 6 months ago

It's cool.

America is the big brother shielding them from consequence.

Israel will be just fine.

It is beyond obscene and makes Meta complicit in Israel's killings of "pre-crime" targets and their families, in violation of International Humanitarian Law and Meta's publicly stated commitment to human rights.

I mean if true - and it likely is - then this would be the third genocide Meta is implicated in, by my count, (Rohingya, Tigray) and there may be others they haven't been called out for yet.

yeah but like I still use Facebook to staybin touch with people, and its super convenient despite the unusable enshittification, so I'm gonna need at least five genocides to stop.

they would never do a fourth genocide.

nah. nah I'm kind of expecting it tbh. got my affairs mostly... not in order, but wrapped up.

[-] land@lemmy.ml 31 points 6 months ago

Israel aimed to spark a regional conflict to avoid facing genocide allegations. However, Iran didn't buy into their PR tactics.

[-] boyi@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 6 months ago

that's is basically Israel strategy. Don't know on what ground you're getting downvoted.

Israel wants to involve the US into the conflict, to create the perceptive diversion when it moves into Rafah and continue towards their goals. However, Iran took the necessary steps, e.g. informing the US in advance their course of actions, so that the US won't be forced into the conflict.

That's basically what happened. The US keep themselves out, Iran gets to retaliate while keeping a distance from the US, and Israel will be on their own should it moves forward to Rafah.

[-] land@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 months ago

Exactly. I’m waiting for the ICJ ruling that will hold Israel and its allies accountable for genocide. Israel was never about Jews. It’s funny Jews standing for Palestine get called antisemitic pathetic!

yeah, Iran being the fucking heroes here. generally fuck that government, but they're the only adults in the extremely apocalyptic room. at least adolescents who know how to babysit?

This is why metadata matters so much. Plenty of "end-to-end encrypted" apps only handle the content of messages, but know on the server side what people are in what places. Or even keep a historical record of who joined and left. Or just don't bother encrypting...

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

There is functionally no way to hide this kind of information from a state actor short of some onion routing scheme mesh networking.

[-] LWD@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

Signal does a decent job just out of the box.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 27 points 6 months ago

I'm surprised Israel is that discerning.

From what I can tell, they're killing people based on those people being inside the borders of Gaza.

I don't think those 13,000+ children were all using Whatsapp. The ones that couldn't read or write probably didn't find it especially useful.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I just assumed Israel was killing people based on those people's proximity to exploding israeli ordnance

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

no, no, they use ai to optimize for kill count.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

well yes but you could create accounts for them after they died, and use a dead Hezbollah guys phone to invite them to whatsapp group. or just any phone. whichever.

you know, to be sure they were enemy combatants.

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

The only time they recognise those borders is when the command the war crimes units to enter.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I think they recognize them every time they want to stop a Palestinian from leaving.

[-] NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago
[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Then they could just go off phone numbers.

[-] NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Signal just introduced a new feature to obscure phone numbers behind usernames

[-] h3ndrik@feddit.de 17 points 6 months ago

That's a lot of speculation. I'd like to learn the truth.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The +972 article clearly mentioned Lavender using "being in WhatsApp groups" as a variable to designate targets.

Zuckerberg donating 125K to Zaka (the 40 beheaded babies propaganda group) and his other top Meta staff being massive Zionists living in israel is a rather direct link.
