The Destruction of Gaza’s Internet Is Complete::As Israel increases its ground operation in Gaza, the last remaining internet and mobile connections have gone dark.

This has to be about limiting videos & reports of the Israeli attack from getting out right?
Don’t know if it’s collateral or intentional, probably impossible to know for sure. I’m sure that at least some of it is intended, probably to ‘reduce Hamas communications’ or whatever.
This war is truly a mess.
I would believe intentionally, but completely agree on your last sentence.
Everyone keeps saying, “Israel can be super accurate with targeting if they want to be,” but equivocate by saying, “I don’t know if it’s intended…”
It’s one or the other, assholes. Stop changing the story.
I never said that even once.
What I do know on the other hand is accident or not, innocent deaths are happening, targeted or not civilians are dying. I’d it isn’t murder it’s manslaughter, (although American crimes are not relevant here, they make a good comparison.) There is not a single good thing coming from this war.
IDF doesn’t exactly release their reasoning behind every strike. That means all these arm chair military strategists make up whatever they feel like it is.
That makes sense. It really is a mess.
Now the genocide can go unwitnessed.
I’m pretty sure we had news media before the internet, right?
But now it’s limited to what Israel wants people to see.
You’re right. It’s barely changed but you’re right.
Which worked very slowly and unreliably. It’s about stretching extremes.
Today with Internet connectivity crimes are more likely to be seen, but so is propaganda from the perpetrators.
Now they’ve removed the former and preserved the latter.
Another extreme is that 100 years ago it was easier for witnesses to somehow get out, and today one can virtually track every inch of the perimeter and prevent attempts with precision munitions.
Which is why I don’t think saying Israeli special services didn’t somehow “miss” the attack or “fail” is promoting a conspiracy theory. They are led by people capable of thinking inside that logic and they are confident that they can contain the consequences as they already have.
This wouldn’t be the first time of such a provocation in well-established history, and even in modern history. It’s just that people usually easily forget the details of how wars start (Archduke Franz-Ferdinand’s murder for most of the world or 22 June 1941 for ex-USSR etc would seem notorious exceptions, but they are really not, nobody except historians remembers the context of preceding and following days).
IDF have been known to shot journalist, bombed Associated Press & AlJazeera buildings…you sure news media exist to report on the genocide on the ground?
Tf are you replying to this two day old comment for?
I’m not defending the IDF bro…
Israel the mass murderer working hard to silence the screams
This is turning to one of the most amoral ‘justified’ wars in history
Is there a community like /r/DarkNetPlan on lemmy?
That sub was formed after Syria’s internet was cut off by government, to focus on engineering an internet that can’t be cut off by government.
If there isnt one, make one
I’m not much of a subject matter expert myself, so it would take a lot of legwork to figure out what content to seed it witth.
I’ll consider it and might do so. First I need to evaluate if I can take on a new responsibility. I do think it would be pretty meaningful considering the humanitarian effects of network blackout, but I’m struggling to even keep my job.
I will seriously consider it
Their bloodthirsty terrorists / our stalwart servicemen.
War is a game played by old men who grow rich and fat while young men die for nothing. The only solution is to stop shooting.

English translation of lyrics:

[Invocatory Prayer] Heavenly King, comforter, spirit of truth, you are everywhere filling everything, treasure of goods and giver of life: come to dwell in us, purify us from all stain and save, you who are good, our souls
I see you and my anger touches you; When I scream without using my mouth; And my fury eats up people; Because it bites, even thought it has no teeth;
Pain causes me no trouble; Today the pains will recite poems; I eat the world without a plate; The fear cleans my shoes.
I melted fire; Today the nightmares do not sleep because the think about me; Today I can see what the other one did not see; And I make them pray though they do not believe in God.
Today the tears cry before dying; And I make the history books take note; Let Earth’s legs start shaking; Today I came to win and I’m made of war.
(Made of war); (And I’m made of war); (And I’m made of war); (And I’m made of war); (I make them pray).
I’m the hole that was left, the bomb that was dropped; What fertilized, the mother that gave birth to me; Since I was born I’m part of the menu; Because I reached the ovum before you.
I’m the jungle that runs barefoot; In the middle of the sea I survive without raft; I’m the caudal that moves the current; The battalions that clash head to head.
My rivals, let them come two by two; Today not even thunder raise their voices at me; I’m your defeat, your two broken legs; The nail that penetrated the boot.
I’m the strategy of any combat; Today there is victory or defeat, there is no draw; I’m the sorrow of your happiness; The war at the night and the war during the day.
(The war during the night and the war during the day); (The war during the night and the war during the day); (The war during the night and the war during the day); (The war during the night and the war during the day); (And I make them pray).
I kill the war without shooting it; The war fears hugs; The war wears camouflage; So nobody sees when it gets sad.
The war loses all of it fights; When the enemies listen to each other; War is weaker than it is stronger; It can’t handle life, so it hides behind death.
(And I make them pray); (And I make them pray).
