"For much of the world, the entirety of the Trump administration’s military campaign against alleged narcotics traffickers is a serious violation of international law. But even if one accepts every unorthodox element of the Trump administration’s international legal justification, the second strike pursued on Sept. 2 is still a problem."

"Attention has focused on the United States’ shocking, illegal, and reprehensible action in murdering unarmed civilians whose ship our military had already destroyed. No justification exists for killing shipwrecked civilians. …

Throughout last weeks, even more disturbing facts emerged."

"Donald Trump says that he never said that he would commit to releasing the video of the boat strikes."

Parnas then offers a video of Trump saying he had never committed to releasing this footage, and then Parnas offers another clip, noting

"This is him five days ago saying he would release the video."

"Congress inserted language into the annual defense bill withholding a quarter of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s travel budget until the Pentagon hands over unedited videos of U.S. strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats, escalating scrutiny of a controversial Sept. 2 follow-up strike that killed survivors and prompting calls for a full investigation as lawmakers dispute what the footage shows."

"According to U.S. drug enforcement officials, drugs trafficked through Suriname generally are bound for Europe."

"Instead, Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley, who was overseeing Special Operations on that day, told Congress that the intelligence he received said the boat was on its way to meet a larger vessel bound for Suriname, a small South American country to the east of Venezuela, to transfer drugs to it. Bradley told the lawmakers that the military could not find the second, larger vessel."

"On Friday, Natasha Bertrand of CNN reported that the boat the U.S. military struck on September 2 was not, in fact, headed for the U.S., a claim from the president that had always seemed doubtful because of how far away from the U.S. the small boats the U.S. has been hitting are."

"The 'double-tap' boat strike scandal seems to get more complicated by the hour. Not because the facts of what took place that September day are complicated, but because it’s getting difficult to keep track of all the lies, distortions, and whiplash-inducing story revisions the Pentagon and its Republican allies have floated the last few weeks."

More adventures with the Dot Pad X Braille display, that can show Braille and graphics: I love this Braille display! Have I mentioned that before? 😄 Anyway, this morning I had some fun with ChatGPT, entering queries on my Mac while the dot pad was connected via Bluetooth. Interesting that ChatGPT does not understand that I want a pie with six wedges, so it offered me seven. Thanks for the extra piece of pie, but please follow directions. How did I know this? After my query, chat thought a minute and then it presented me with an image displayed… On the Dot Pad! It seems to keep offering me extra pieces of pie and cannot seem to make a pie with six sections. So, I moved onto asking it for a line drawing of a mug of hot chocolate. It depicted a nice little mug with a dollop, did you hear that, #DoubleTap, of whipped cream on top. There was a cute little handle on the side. I was so excited, I could hardly stand it! Now, maybe I can help ChatGPT with its fractions. :-)

We have gone from “did Israel bomb a hospital” to “Israel says it double-tapped bombed a hospital to destroy a Hamas camera”

Just so you know:

- Bombing hospitals is a war crime.
- Bombing civilians is a war crime.
- Bombing journalists is a war crime.
- Bombing aid workers is a war crime.
- Double tap is a war crime.

Israel did all of those on live TV in one attack.

Und nun erfolgte laut DropSiteNews u.a. ein gezielter Angriff durch #Israel auf die Familie von Motasem A Dalloul, einem weiteren prominenten Journalisten aus #Gaza.
Berichten nach wurden 10 Personen ermordet.
Ob Motasem darunter ist, ist noch nicht bekannt.

Es handelte sich wohl um einen #doubletap-Angriff, bei dem der zweite Angriff erfolgte als Retter und Nachbarn versuchten verschüttete Anwohner zu bergen.
