no one in international media is going to talk about how israel has de jure annexed the west bank? i’m seeing more than one lawyer reaching the conclusion this is what this transferral of powers means
Today the government of Israel has taken an action which entails de jure annexation of the West Bank.
An agreement was signed today between the Minister of Defense and the minister in his office, Bezalel Smotrich, for the transfer of governmental powers in the West Bank to the latter. Although the administrative authorities transferred to him do not include some military operational powers, this is a dramatic change in the structure of governance over the occupied territory. Very broad administrative authorities pertaining to the majority of the governing powers in the West Bank are being transferred into hands that are not of the military commander of the occupied territory. From now on, those powers will be held by the minister in the Ministry of Defense, who will de facto serve as the governor of the West Bank.
According to the agreement, the governor will be authorized to appoint officials in the Civil Administration and COGAT who exercise civil authorities, the legal advisors who will advise them, and he will be solely responsible for formulating policy.
The agreement includes two clauses aimed at obfuscating the transfer of powers by presenting the governor’s alleged subordination to the Minister of Defense, but according to the document, the cases in which the Minister of Defense can override the governor are extreme cases and even when this is done, the military commander of the West Bank will be bypassed, as he no longer holds authority.
The agreement also states that the governor will work to deepen the powers of the Israeli governmental authorities in the areas of Israeli settlements, a process which will promote the unification of government powers and geographically expand their direct legal authority in the West Bank. Or, in other words: stretching Israeli sovereignty beyond the Green Line.
The agreement also states that the governor will lead a process of expanding the dual legal system so that Israeli legislation by the Knesset will be applied more fully than it is today to the Israelis in the West Bank.
International laws of belligerent occupation state that an occupied territory will be temporarily administered by the occupying force (that is, the army) which, along with security considerations, will be obligated to promote the interests of the occupied people.
Transferring powers to Israeli civilian hands is an act of de jure annexation because it entails removing power from the occupying military and placing it directly in the hands of the government - this is an expression of sovereignty.
The bottom line is that the agreement signed today is simultaneously a giant leap of legal annexation of the West Bank and an act of perpetuating the regime’s apartheid nature.
the other lawyer i saw agreeing with this analysis is tel aviv university international law professor eliav lieblich
Had there been a formality outstanding? They have had the facts on the ground for a while now. I remember all the way since the ‘90s, they’ve slow-walked this well.
I really cannot emphasize enough how this works like a reverse feederism thing, every day I wake up and run my hands over my belly and appreciate how not big it’s getting.
“Ew you’re making it sound sexual"– bitch it’s definitely sexual, since the personality change left me bisexual, "a hot, fit male body” is a major turn-on and object of desire and I am experiencing a transformation where I am gradually, helplessly becoming a hot, fit male body.
please please please see a doctor, losing weight this fast and this easily is concerning.
I mean don’t for a second think I understand this as just how things are, I have the explicit understanding that this is the effect of a complex and mysterious disease, but I might as well appreciate it
But yes, to those of you concerned, I have a fairly good understanding of how this is working and it’s looking like it’s going to come in good.
I know why I’m losing weight! It’s because [black box] Covid issues mean I can’t generate ATP from the blood sugar off the food I’ve eaten to power my body functions.
But I CAN still generate energy anaerobically. Normally that’s limited but the limit is the supply of creatine, which the body creates naturally and uses for this, but I can pump my levels above normal by taking creatine monohydrate, sold as a bodybuilding supplement. It gets metabolized in about 24 hours, but I can just take more the next day!
The way it works is by breaking down stored fat. When bodybuilders use it, it means they have more energy available for their very extremes of exertion – they do 15 reps of the superheavy weight instead of 10, but then leave the gym to go to Bible study or wevs!
Because I’m patching a hole with it im basically drawing on that extra energy 24/7 – my normal resting energy consumption is higher than I can sustain without it.
Which means that I am burning fat at a constant, PRODIGIOUS rate.
I pray you, however, keep this in mind:
This has actually been going on for 2 years already, as an aftereffect of each Covid infection, and I have had experience with how it progresses. It begins with such a deficit of energy I have to take a lot of creatine to support a lot of anaerobic generation each day, but gradually decreases until I don’t need it anymore
The first time this showed up i suddenly needed 8 scoops of creatine to anaerobically generate enough energy to even keep breathing regularly, the time that started this wave I needed 5, I was down to maybe 2 ½ until this last case took me up to 4
It gets easier every time, and judging how this has been going I’m very confident to say it’ll end up with me at a “yeah, I played soccer matches after college” physique
AND HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT?
Like I was faffing about and then the 2010s looked mean and I was like “gather about, kids, I have a sense how this goes” and then from astoundingly correct prediction or SOMETHING I suddenly transformed into my ideal self
FUCKED UP
Long covid made you hot and bisexual?
AND socially smooth (I’m pretty sure the old personality was autistic and the new one’s not but still knows all the tricks the old one developed to get by) AND normal (non-flatfooted)-striding AND see in binocular true 3D.

Apparently autism is linked to immune system issues, which presumable means autists are worse at fighting off infections, so back when ~50% of kids died of disease before adulthood autists would probably be almost all in that 50%, which means that vaccines do - at a societal, not individual level - cause autism.
Messy girls are so incredibly woke and counterculture etc. every time I go into a girl’s room and she just has a bowl of cereal rotting in the corner I feel a deep sense of kinship
condescendingly replying to every post on this site with “luckily romanticising evil shit is not only harmless but actively helpful”
What’s the point of arguing about whether romanticizing evil is helpful or not? It’s just another way for people to feel superior or edgy.
It’s just another example of the endless cycle of hopelessness and despair that we find ourselves in. There’s no easy solution or answer to any of this.
All we can do is try to navigate through this mess and find some semblance of meaning or purpose. But even that can feel like an impossible task.
I wish things were different, but they’re not. It’s just one pointless argument after another, all leading nowhere.
Maybe one day things will change, but I doubt it. It’s just another way for people to feel like they’re doing something, without actually accomplishing anything.
