This is almost exactly echoes how European leaders were completely fine with the US illegally blockading and invading Venezuela and then a week later Trump wants Greenland and suddenly they care about "territorial integrity" and what not.
We need to prosecute both the Biden and Trump administration, the Israeli leadership, and the leadership of most European countries. Never again is never again.
Calcalist did a deep investigation into it: https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/b1a1jn00hc
Chronic absenteeism was normal. Disappearing students was normal. Pretending to take notes was normal. Indifference was normal. I'm sure all of the above has __always__ been happening.

Are you aware of the recent revelations that it is using AI to indiscriminately kill people at their home? https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/
Do you have an evidence that they aren't using Project Nimbus for this? Spoiler: you do not - none of us do.
Google has a set of AI principles: https://ai.google/responsibility/principles/
These include:
> AI applications we will not pursue
> In addition to the above objectives, we will not design or deploy AI in the following application areas:
> 1. Technologies that cause or are likely to cause overall harm. Where there is a material risk of harm, we will proceed only where we believe that the benefits substantially outweigh the risks, and will incorporate appropriate safety constraints.
> 2. Weapons or other technologies whose principal purpose or implementation is to cause or directly facilitate injury to people.
> 3. Technologies that gather or use information for surveillance violating internationally accepted norms.
> 4. Technologies whose purpose contravenes widely accepted principles of international law and human rights.
The contract goes against those principles. Employees rightfully speak out about this and stonewalled.
I've also lived in both cities and Seattle's buses are timely and clean. MTA buses are much, much worse.
I'm not saying they were saints but they were on the same moral plane of the Allies, wishing to set up buffer states instead of absorbing them fully into the USSR. Political repression was a real issue in the eastern bloc countries but it's no where near as bad as what the US, France, or UK did in the post war period with their colonies, segregation, bombings, or coups.
I don't know if I've seen it with US politics but it was blindingly obvious the US or someone else were using bots during the coup in Bolivia and the attempted one in Venezuela.
The reality is that the legal system makes it so difficult and expensive for claimants to recoup the harms they suffer. Causality is hard to prove and the claimants are up against corporations which have teams of lawyers and a court system which has made tort cases have a high burden of proof. This can make it difficult for claimants to win, even if they have a strong case. Plus, tort law is a complex area of law, and it can be difficult for claimants to understand their rights and to navigate the legal system.
Essentially the western media just repeats everything they hear from the Ukrainian MOD. According to an American reporter, Seth Harper, who was over their reporting on the volunteer battalion, western reporters are basically given no access so they just have to repeat everything the ministry of defense tells them. This is why we've ended up with so many ridiculously false claims printed.
