Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

After 20 days, he'll be asked to conscript again. If he refuses, he'll be sent to jail again. This will continue till either he agrees to conscription or the military stops requiring him.

two communist MPs have been dropped from the Knesset

Have a good article on this?

I'm not aware of anything like this but I could be falling behind the news. Ofer Cassif narrowly avoided expulsion in February

See my other comment:

I may have been wrong about this part, tbh.

On a quick review, it seems that one was "sanctioned" and another was basically put on time-out, maybe more than once (but I'm not sure about that part either).

I believe there's repression, but so far, I don't know how far it extends.

[–] MattsAlt@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Oh yeah I definitely agree it's still repression. Honestly didn't know if there had been updates as I've not been able to keep up with the news as much

As an aside, I just find it interesting:

If there's outcry and protests in Israel and if the war is taking longer than anyone thought then that could mean we're winning in the end and that the war is going poorly for the genociders.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

Yeah, you can look through the article I posted yourself. There definitely does seem to be repression against any protest or outcry against what's happening.

Frankly, though, I just hope that the protests and direct action here in the US and around the world is working; we need to stop shipments to Israel and make the whole genocide as uncomfortable and hard as possible for the settler-colonialists! We need to force peace on these settlers and not on their terms and hopefully the Palestinian resistance in Gaza can survive after this.

See my replies.

From People's World (I know it's not CPUSA's best outlet; that goes to cpusa.org, but People's World has covered this every now and then).

Let me try to find 'em...
