“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
Oh shit, what was my safe word again? LET ME OUT!
My worst imagination is a nefarious entity using our data to determine if we are a threat or try and categorize people for some kind of psyop manipulation.
Something like Captain America Winter Soldier but more realistic. Even things like Cambridge Analytica show it is not that far fetched.
While social media companies and amazon may not have the desire to do those things, they sure make it easier for others by greedily collecting the data.
Well the other crazy thing with voting is how narrow the margins are.
It doesn’t have to convince everyone. Only a small percentage across the country mixed with a few people in key locations and you can change everything.
Lol he has been in politics for like 50 years.
While your at it, why not look up your childhood friends? I’m sure they are in a phonebook.
I personally prefer killing babies, it is more eco friendly.
At least 200 are variations of saying “kill”
2 quotes come to mind
The problem:
“you cant reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into.”
And the solution:
”He drew a circle that shut me out- Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout. But love and I had the wit to win: We drew a circle and took him In!”
You have to draw a bigger circle. It is the way to deprogram people from that tribalistic mentality. Teaching them and “winning” debates will not work.
Good thing he isn’t currently a diplomat.
Also good thing Hamas founding principles don’t say anything about destroying Israel…
“The Day of Judgement will not come about, until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.” -Hamas Covenant
…oh.
While i do not wholly agree with your last sentence, i do respect your balanced view. Making any war one of “good vs. evil” is dangerous a step toward dehumanizing the enemy and it only gets worse from there.
Also i agree Israel’s response has been very strong and cold, but i believe they were not left with many choices.
Things could not return to status quo with Gaza after the attack on the 7th and there was no clean option left for them. Diplomacy failed over and over for decades. Both sides share blame for the diplomatic breakdown, but Israel has no allies and many enemies in the region and must project strength to keep opportunists away.
Even if it was an iron dome rocket, which is not impossible; it was not targeting the hospital. It was targeting a hostile missile launch.
I also trust international orgs fatality reports more than local sources on this one.
Y’all keep talking about war crimes, but Hamas is not even distinguishing themselves from civilians which is the basis from where almost every other IHL rule stems.
Well more than 1… but also form and motive are important here.
The “1” was an innocent woman who was raped, tortured, and murdered slowly and publicly to spread terror because she was at a music festival.
The “3000” are civilian casualties of war because said terrorists are hiding behind them as a combat strategy.
Both are horrible, but you are making a false equivalency.
Good thing Hamas never lies or we would have no idea who to trust.
Like when “500 people” died in that hospital parking lot from that IDF bomb that totally didn’t look like a failed Hamas rocket explosion. /s
Sounds like a seafood trade embargo with extra excuses.
This is why stochastic terrorism should be taken more seriously.
I came from reddit like many of the others. So far i went to gaming and world news mostly. I peeked around the meme and shitpost ones too.
Im also looking for new communities. They seem smaller but more interactive.
But it literally says in your quote that Hamas exerts authority. It would be foolish to assume they wouldnt use every source of outrage they could get.
Hamas is also committing countless warcrimes.
“1. In order to ensure respect for and protection of the civilian population and civilian objects, the Parties to the conflict shall at all times distinguish between the civilian population and combatants and between civilian objects and military objectives and accordingly shall direct their operations only against military objectives…
Meanwhile the International Humanitarian Law clearly states:
“ 1. The presence or movements of the civilian population or individual civilians shall not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations, in particular in attempts to shield military objectives from attacks or to shield, favour or impede military operations. The Parties to the conflict shall not direct the movement of the civilian population or individual civilians in order to attempt to shield military objectives from attacks or to shield military operations.
We can keep quoting the whole article.
Is relation to the hospital explosion:
“U.S. President Joe Biden said he had “no confidence” in the accuracy of the ministry’s reporting. However, the U.S. government’s annual human rights assessments from the region frequently cite the Gaza ministry.
Gaza’s Health Ministry stands by the 471 figure and includes it in the total death toll. When asked about conflicting accounts, authorities emphasize the difficulties of their work and vigorously deny any fabrication”
My takeaway is, they have been accurate historically and are used internationally, but they should be verified, especially after recent events.
Honestly, i dislike his age, his stance on Israel and some other general things but overall I think Biden has accomplished a lot of good things as president.
Some examples:
