"The real purpose of Israel is to trample on the future of Palestine and annex its whole territory by targeting even its children, and to gradually expand the flames of war it started in the Gaza Strip even to such neighbouring countries as Lebanon and Syria and thus dominate the Middle East.

For example, the Israeli minister of finance declared last mid-February that Israel would "tighten control over all our territories" while talking about a "settlement revolution" in the West Bank. In June last year, the Israeli foreign minister in a diplomatic meeting in East Al-Quds openly said that the Golan Heights in Syria would remain part of the State of Israel in any peace deal to be struck in the future.

Israel, dead set on undisguised aggression and an indiscriminate war of genocide for territorial expansion, is fully revealing before the international community its true colours as the wrecker of peace in the Middle East."

Would he for example be able to distinguish the premier of the DPRK (Pak Thae-song)?

A long time ago now an operating system called red star os was leaked, supposedly north koreas operating system - it was based on linux with the kde desktop environment.

as a tech nerd, i am wondering if the dprk still uses red star os and has continued to keep it up to date, or if they have ditched it in favour of more mainstream operating systems?

do they still mainly use linux, or have windows and macos become dominant like in the rest of the world?

do they make most of their own computers or import them from other countries like china?

is owning a desktop/laptop common? if not how easy are they to access in libraries or other public spaces?

Something interesting I saw but a good point that needs to be made

We see all the new rural housing but its great to see that these arnt just fancy accommodation for people to be stuck on worksites, the DPRK is building entire organic communities, basically small towns

I wonder what they will look like in say a decade or two, either way, genuinely lived in places

EDIT: thank you all so much for answering, ive found my way. i respect these claims of the DPRK and internalise them by viewing them as ideological metaphors. like a religious person or a political philosopher i will understand it symbolically/allegorically, because it stands for a bigger moral lesson. the ultimate symbol of the pure, unwavering, and independent character of the country.

And if the whole single-handed-liberation-from-the-secret-camp story (also the fact that the General was born in the camp) is not true, we as DPRK-supporters cannot completely adhere to the line and historic line of the WPK and the Government of the DPRK, then what's the purpose? This really breaks my brain, because I wanna support the DPRK fully, but that's hard when having the idea it spreads misinformation as the only truth. And don't go all whataboutist on me, because people: THOSE ARE NOT VALID ARGUMENTS! I KNOW THE WEST FKING SUCKS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE THE DPRK BETTER ON THE SAME SUBJECT!

I found this on r/israel

Also asked them for some pictures, some questions about incidents before 2019, and questions related to Otto warmbier. They also shared some cool photographs from the embassy

I was wondering if anyone here knows good places to watch more North Korean films. I’m not sure how many people here are into cinema, but I’ve watched Pulgasari and Our Fragrance and I’d like to explore more DPRK films.

Are there any websites, archives, or places where I can find a larger collection of North Korean movies? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Has anyone here read this book? I just finished a paper written by this author that compared nutrition, mortality, and diseases between the DPRK and other countries which seemed to put it in a good light, but the blurb for the book seemed less favorable, though it still said that the country is neither a victim or a villain.

Picture from early days of Kim Jong Uns time as leader, the ambitious plan to completely remake Sinuiju

Obv the gov is busy with 20x10, pyongyang redevelopment and projects in Wonsan, Hamhung and Chonjin. But still this was a cool proposal that would be a great optics victory for the DPRK given Sinuiju is in viewing distance of China

Whereas in many countries, flood victims are too often condemned to destitution and their communities left in ruins for years.

In the DPRK far flung rural farming villages ravaged by flooding were replaced by idyllic modern towns in 130 days.
