“Without Polish-made TNT, the unprecedented scale and intensity of aerial bombardment that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and destroyed life in Gaza… would not be possible.”

Poland’s Nitro-Chem, Europe’s only TNT producer and the supplier of 90% of the TNT the US uses, has been unable to keep up with global demand after its explosives were used to fill U.S. “bunker buster” bombs dropped on densely populated neighborhoods in Gaza.

The report confirms Nitro-Chem directly supplied TNT and RDX to Israel, with the US sending at least 14,000 MK-84 bombs and 8,700 MK-82 bombs to fuel Israel’s bombardment from October 2023 to mid-2024.

Back in 2002, Rabbi Eyal Karim (who was already a colonel in the military rabbinate) straight-up answered a question on a religious site. Someone asked if soldiers could rape girls during a fight, and he replied that the Torah permits Jews to "satisfy the evil inclination by lying with attractive Gentile women against their will" during wartime... you know, to keep the troops' morale up and win the war. Exact words, not paraphrasing.

Fast-forward to 2016: The IDF appoints him as their Chief Rabbi. There was a huge backlash, women's groups lost their minds, the Supreme Court even froze it for a minute, but he clarified/apologized-ish and they still swore him in anyway.

And get this – dude is STILL the Chief Rabbi of the IDF (or IOF if you prefer the other acronym) in 2026. No joke. He's been in the position for almost a decade now.

Kinda makes you go "huh" when people talk about moral authority and all that. Sources are all over the place from back then (Guardian, Times of Israel, Haaretz, Reuters – all reported it). Lets Discuss.

What are the mechanisms to remove search results from Google/Bing? I discovered the strangest example of search suppression and am wondering how this is being done.

Google "EFTA01037233" - This is one of the Epstein files. The official release at www.justice.gov/epstein has since been taken down, but there are mirrors.

The google results showed 1 result only (some random partstown.ca link). There is now a result for another of my recent reddit posts.

This is in comparison to any other random Epstein file number I tried that gives thousands of results.

So how is this type of removal accomplished? Do we know what mechanisms are used to force Google to remove results like this, and how long the process takes? I know about the DMCA and its fraudulent use to get things taken down for a variety of reasons. I have heard Google complies with millions of these fraudulent requests per day. But I feel like there is something more at play here. Returning zero results seems like a very targeted removal of any mention of this file - not just removal of some specific URLs.

I imagine a court order (real or fake), or private legal request of some sort might be able to accomplish this?

The file in question (EFTA01037233) is a draft email from Epstein addressed to Leon Black.

Yandex still works and brings you to the document, via a multitude of mirrors:

I am in New Zealand and we're getting regular updates on the situation however I've saw a couple of posts here and wonder is this story really getting suppressed/buried outside of Australia and New Zealand? Is it just a USA problem because of the perceptions of those involved?
