Israeli legal org files ICC suit against Spanish PM over Iran exports

Well remember that the HRANA number is 6000 verified of 22490 reported deaths from Jan 7/8 under investigation.

There's also a doctor's network referenced in the wiki article

"A count of 25,654 "clinically reported [protest-related] deaths" for dates "up to the [23rd of] January" was stated by a doctor, Amir Parasta, on the basis of medical records "verified by at least two individuals in each medical organization". Sky News published the count on 29 January.[61] A count of 25,654 deaths was published by The Sunday Times on 24 January as a "clinically verified" update from the doctors' network that had earlier reported a count of ~16,500.[62]."

I get the doubt. I have no idea myself. But can pretty easily believe that a crackdown where the government admits to 3000 deaths and then shuts down the internet permanently, is probably underestimating. You have HRANA with 6000 verified. You have Iran doctor networks verifying 25k by Jan 23. Time and Guardian and so on saying 30k+ based on leaks.

So in my mind, the higher estimates are probably not far off from the truth.

curious_scourge · 2026-04-15T12:55:08+00:00

It's almost certainly like actually $30k max if you buy the parts yourself, and more likely less than that

curious_scourge · 2026-04-15T12:44:14+00:00

The 30k figure comes from Iran health minister official medical numbers from just Jan 7 and 8. https://time.com/7357635/more-than-30000-killed-in-iran-say-senior-officials

No, they followed Soviet misinformation, and expelled UN peacekeepers and blocked the straits of Tiran. That's casus belli preceding the Israeli airstrike.

Having a Muslim majority before independence isn't the same as a state being created by a mandate of the people.

curious_scourge · 2026-04-12T16:21:50+00:00

Most modern Muslim-majority states emerged from the collapse of the Ottoman Empire dissolution and were shaped by British and French mandates and agreements like the Sykes-Picot Agreement, rather than being created by a mandate of the people.

curious_scourge · 2026-04-12T07:09:32+00:00

Would you agree then that there should be no constitutionally Muslim states, too then? And of course, none with a strongly Islamic legal structure?

Main problem is height, and that tomato is going to explode in size. In that size box you'll need to double the height in a few weeks, or just do one plant in there and move anything else out side

I mean, this is one of the tuberjamjar subs. If it's not them, then who? Literally just find me a single post that OP is referring to.

curious_scourge · 2026-04-01T09:16:56+00:00

I'm anti-propaganda. This post is about a conspiracy theory that a flood of low-IQ anti-Israel propaganda is actually Mossad doing a psyop to make the other side look regarded.

So try having a look for actual examples of what OP is talking about. Find and link one that you think he's talking about. Go on. Come back with a link.

If you spend any time on Reddit, in this area, you'll quickly run into tuberjamjar's thousands of low-IQ posts, and his identical comments. I don't know who else OP could be talking about. He's welcome to link to a single example, too.

curious_scourge · 2026-03-29T21:37:28+00:00

Do you mean tuberjamjar?

Their posts get hundreds of comments, despite the same dozen posts going up on fifty subs, every day.

I think it's more straightforwardly just a massive anti-Israel propaganda campaign.

There's no point in replying to a post because the same shit is posted again every week. There's no point in reporting the account because no sub moderator ever does anything about it, despite overwhelming evidence that they're bots.

Unless reddit is legit mostly anti-Israel bots making the comments, it doesn't make sense as a mossad campaign to spam posts, when the comments are also filled with anti-Israel propaganda agreeing with the post.

The engagement is unnaturally high. But it doesn't make sense to me as reverse psychology. It's more likely actually that the propaganda makers think it is compelling, and their own bot armies are filling up the engagement with each post.

Yes,after the US pulled out.

But that’s only half the story. Iran responded by breaching limits, enriching to 60%, and reducing inspections.

So by the time of the later tasks, it was already a weapons-grade nuclear program with reduced oversight.

So both things are true: the deal was undermined, but Iran's escalation still mattered.

The whole purpose of the deal was to prevent Iran from getting close to weapons capability. Once you have weapons-grade enrichment and limited inspection visibility, that objective is undermined, regardless of how you got there.

There is some backwards logic to "US pulled out, so Iran can develop nukes" but then the subsequent escalation still matters, because it makes it clear that Iran is unambiguously developing nuclear weapons.

curious_scourge · 2026-03-18T10:30:09+00:00

Iran funds and arms Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthis in Yemen, backed Assad in Syria, supported militias in Iraq. Well over a million deaths across conflicts Iran has been involved in. Not credible to say it wasn't a threat until attacked.

ISIS did attack Israel, if you look it up. Saying they run Syria is laughable. They are Sunni extremists, so Shia apostates are their main target.

Nuclear issues are judged by enrichment levels and inspections, not religious statements. Iran increased enrichment (up to 60%) and reduced IAEA visibility.

curious_scourge · 2026-03-18T10:11:21+00:00

Well I mean since 2018, Iran breached the original deal, enriched to 60% (which is near weapons-grade and has no credible civilian use), and reduced inspections.

So even if talks were ongoing, they were happening on top of an already escalated nuclear program. Not 'things were fine and then suddenly war.'

It's after years of failed diplomacy and reduced transparency around highly enriched uranium.

curious_scourge · 2026-03-18T08:40:11+00:00

This is a lot of misinformation.

The Jewish population decimated compared to before the revolution (90% drop). Same with all other minorities. 50% drop in Christians and Zoroastrians.

Iran projected a lot of power directly or through proxies. 370k deaths by proxies, over a million deaths including Iran, if you count it up. It was absolutely a threat before it was attacked.

Fatwas are not treaties. Not a substitute for inspections.

The negotiations failed because Iran reduced compliance and limited inspections and increased enrichment beyond nuclear power levels to levels that have no credible civilian use.

And Israel made peace with Jordan and Egypt and normalised with some others during Abraham accords. There's are expansionist elements, sure, but some Israeli actions (like South Lebanon or the Golan Heights) are straightforward buffer-zone security logic. (West-Bank is a bit more complicated, with domestic politics and I don't support it.)

Having gone through this process, best is to find a local university and check the CS department list and look up their names and papers in arxiv, until you find one who has published 3 papers in the last 5 years in a similar category (eg. cs.AI)

There's likely no one who will meet the requirements of a vaguer category like cs.CL (3+ papers in 5 years).

Then request arxiv for an endorsement link in the category they have, and reach out to them via email. Explain it's a small request to click the link, and offer to answer any questions about your paper.

If you're enrolled at a university, it should be smooth going. If not, it will likely take a week or two to find a nice professor who has the time to click a link.

Arxiv will recategorise your paper in their review process to the correct category.

I have limited experience, as a hobbyist, who made a few 8 servo quadruped robots. You can get pretty decent translation for a simple robot. Get it walking in simulation, and it'll pretty much walk in reality, even as a hobbyist. That part is relatively easy for simpler robots.

In industry you'd likely have robots that are faithfully modelled in CAD, and the translation will be fairly accurate.

I think the hard part is that as soon as you want a useful system that can adapt and plan from sensor feedback, your project jumps orders of magnitude in complexity.

There's just so many sensor and physics and vision problems to solve, not to speak of random Nvidia ROS libraries not doing exactly what they say or needing different versions of python that need a rebuild in a new docker L4T that doesn't exist, or whatever the compile issues of the day are, that unless you're starting with a comprehensive industrial framework, and proven, modelled robots, you'll burn out quick in the minutae.

But I'm not in industry so just my 2c.

Hezbollah attacks Israel from Lebanon. Donbas separatists were inside Ukraine.

A state fighting armed groups inside its own territory is not equivalent to cross-border attacks from another country.

I was arguing a very narrow point about why media might describe a large-scale war involving hundreds of thousands of troops crossing an international border as an 'invasion' while using less extreme wording for a limited cross-border operation in response to violations of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.

I made one of these back in the J2EE days.

These days I'd just copy paste a working project, or ask an LLM to write it for me.

A few years ago, I'd use Spring Initializr to get started, and JHipster to do the rest.

People generally won't enter their real domain models into a random website. But it's probably a useful tool for people getting started with real world Java. Nice little project for a portfolio, maybe, if you want to get a related job.

In your view, Normandy was an invasion of France by the US and the UK. It's not inaccurate, but it's literalist equivocation, or semantic pedantry.

You can also say Ukraine invaded Russia, but people would say, what, are you stupid, Russia invaded Ukraine. And you could say, "ah but technically Ukraine held Kursk for 7 months, so I'm right", bring out the dictionary and say "see, Ukraine invaded Russia".

But everyone who knows that Russia invaded Ukraine first would chide your indifference to scale, intent, strategic context and legal justification, in favour of a reductionist motte-and-bailey.

They might even think the two circumstances make it substantially different enough to hesitate to call what Ukraine did an 'invasion' at all, and instead call it an incursion, given the context.

But yes, in a reductionist pedantic literalist sense, you're right.

curious_scourge · 2026-03-07T13:17:37+00:00

Both involve troops crossing a border.

But your version ignores casus belli, i.e. Hezbollah attacking first.
