Verfahren gegen Correctiv: Die Medienplattform verwickelt sich weiter in Widersprüche

Nach Schravens Drohung stellt sich erstens die Frage: Wenn Correctiv über gerichtsfeste Belege verfügt, wer auf dem Treffen mit welcher wörtlichen Formulierung aufgetreten war – warum finden sich diese wörtlichen Zitate dann nicht in dem Correctiv-Artikel? Bis jetzt wurden sie auch nicht nachgereicht.

Und zweitens: Warum rückt Correctiv nicht spätestens jetzt damit heraus? Da die eidesstattlichen Versicherungen der Teilnehmer schon Teil des Verfahrens sind, müsste Correctiv nicht erst bis zur Gerichtsverhandlung damit warten, gleich sieben Teilnehmer des Treffens einer Straftat zu überführen.

‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza

(November 30, 2023)

“Nothing happens by accident,” said another source. “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed — that it was a price worth paying in order to hit [another] target. We are not Hamas. These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home.”

According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”

Israel installs pumps in Gaza to flood tunnels ‘no one has been in before’

/December 5, 2023)

“We are not sure how successful pumping will be since nobody knows the details of the tunnels and the ground around them,” a source told the Wall Street Journal. “It’s impossible to know if that will be effective because we don’t know how seawater will drain in tunnels no one has been in before.”

According to the report, US officials were briefed on the plan, but are uncertain about how close Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is to implementing it.

Border Patrol Agents Killed the Uvalde School Shooter. But Why Were They on the Scene?

(May 26, 2022)

A CBP official told Texas Monthly that as emergency calls first came in, four agents with CBP’s Bortac SWAT team were investigating stash houses on the border to the west of Uvalde.

(…)

CORRECTION: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents did not respond to the shooting. ICE agents were on the scene during and after the shooting. The article has been updated.

Afghanistan’s military collapse: Illicit deals and mass desertions

(15.08.2021)

The deals, initially offered early last year, were often described by Afghan officials as cease-fires, but Taliban leaders were in fact offering money in exchange for government forces to hand over their weapons, according to an Afghan officer and a U.S. official.

Over the next year and a half, the meetings advanced to the district level and then rapidly on to provincial capitals, culminating in a breathtaking series of negotiated surrenders by government forces, according to interviews with more than a dozen Afghan officers, police, special operations troops and other soldiers.
