Did Israel just pull a Russia?

I think you need to read about the history of Mossad.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mossad

Israel has a long history of assassinating people abroad.

Authorities in Marseille have launched an investigation to determine the cause of Vlahovic's death.

They'll get to it just after they figure out who blew up NordStream 2

We...uhhh... suspect Russian involvement

[–] variaatio@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 weeks ago

Well that could mean anything between "she died of not immediately obvious medical reason, so cause of death inguiry is needed" to "she was murdered, we are investigating". Heck to investigate "there is no external markers, but we don't know is it medical stroke or a poisoning murder".

So I would say, wait until they investigated and tell, if they suspect foul play before jumping to conclusions. Not that Israel isn't capable and on choosing so willing, but sometimes people just suddenly die of medical causes without prior warning.

"She was so overcome by the guilt of being an antisemitic terrorist degenerate that she climbed up on that roof, tied herself up, and shot herself twice in the back of the head."

The very important difference is that (apparently) murdering journalists is bad, but destroying disgusting pipelines controlled by fascist capitalists is actually good.

disgusting pipelines controlled by fascist capitalists

It wasnt Germany who controlled it, it just delivered the gas to them, it was Russia who controlled it.

It's disgusting to go after journalists who do nothing but uncover the truth.

Stories like these might frighten journalist, leading us into a dystopian world of wars and lies.

[–] 1984@beehaw.org 26 points 3 weeks ago

I think we are a bit farther than "might".

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

I wouldn't mind doing this type of journalism if I was even remotely skilled at writing but the fact is they don't get paid nearly enough. This women was probably passionately pursuing her own journalistic ambitions with no payout other than the work itself. Then she was murdered for it.

Leading? Ye best start believin' in dystopias, yer in one!

I may be jumping to conclusions here but this smells like mossad

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

It's not as if Israel or its leaders have to fear suffering any kind of consequences from France on this, whose posture has been nothing more than mild talkie-talkie and who even refuse to abide by an Arrest Warrant from the ICC on Netanyahu (a very obvious wink-and-nod from Macron to the New Nazis in Israel).

With mainly Collaborator politicians in the various governments in Europe (notable exceptions being those in Spain and the Republic Of Ireland), it's open season for Mossad to murder Europeans in Europe at will.

That's an absolutelly natural consequence from in practice condoning and even protecting Nazis going full-on Genocidal and they lose all fear of consequences.

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

France be like "well good thing Israel killed her otherwise we would have had to."

Nothing about the Israeli Nazis are new, they have been slowly organizing since Kahana.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I use "New" or even "Neue" to distinguish the Nazis that claim to represent Jews and are genocidal towards Arabs, from the Nazis who claimed to represent Arians and were genocidal towards Jews (and Roma, though "curiously" here in the West almost nobody mentions those).

Because the etnicity targetted by one group of Nazis is the "dominant" etnicity of the other, if I don't do this some people confuse my anti-Zionist point with being pro-Zionist, especially given that the Zionists themselves will use Nazi as a form of slander against people who criticize them.

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You betcha! Everyone knows it's Israel's god given right to defend themselves from those dastardly French journalists! Don't you know that documenting their atrocities is antisemitic terrorism?

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Of course, kinda like how when the evil newspaper Haaretz critiques Bibi or the illegal settlers they're antisemitic (just ignore how they're the oldest running zionist newspaper, that fact is antisemitic).

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

YHWH himself could come down and tell them to stop killing Palestinians and they'd call him antisemitic.

They have murdered far more journalists in and around Gaza and in Lebanon and assassinated who knows how many others overseas.

[–] Zeshade@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What's weird is that I can't find even one article about her death in the more mainstream French newspapers such as Le Monde or Le Figaro or Libération. There's something in Ouest France. Did anyone find more?

They're currently not treating her death as suspicious. I know it doesn't mean that it isn't but I think it's worth mentioning.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

When I entered her name in google some small independent articles come up, but its clearly being silenced on all the major networks.

https://www.google.com/search?q=Marine+Vlahovic

It happened days ago so its not an issue of waiting for the major news outlets to catch on-- its censureship.

Truly, Rest in peace Marine Vlaholic, and good for you for doing what you did.

While the circumstances remain unclear, police have stated that there is no initial evidence that a crime has been committed.

Are you fucking kidding me

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago

Very sad to see this happen.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 24 points 3 weeks ago

No cause of death stated, which makes me think it's either something subtle and hard to detect like a poison, or something unpublishably obvious like a bullet

[–] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Definitely suspicious af, but until there is a clear evidence we can only speculate.

[–] jatone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago

You don't give people who have been murdering journalists, aid workers, and medical personal the benefit of the doubt. you assume and absolve them later if facts don't substantiate it. this isnt a trial there isn't an individual being accused. its a state with a history of murdering people like this reporter. you stop associating with them. which is precisely what biden should have done a year ago.

The Saudis used a bonesaw to make kashoggi disappear... the Israelis want to send a message:

We are not acting like the good guys any more.

Found dead while making a documentary about the killings in gaza. Of all the rotten luck, eh.

I wonder if there will be an actual transparent independent autopsy or will it be some sort of sham. I mean I dont wonder very much, we all know the answer. But I still wonder a little bit.

Did Lemmy always have it so sites can be embedded?

It is a bug which keeps happening with Almaydeen. No idea why but it is pretty funny.
