You are putting the responsibility for those murders entirely on Hamas rather than the government currently perpetrating them, thus justifying that government’s actions. You could have just as easily made your opening comment, “Man, if only Israel cared about international law.” Please stop insulting my intelligence.
You are literally justifying their actions. Justifying the murder of well over 30 thousand.
“Mr. President, the terrorists have taken hostages. What should we do?” “Bomb the building.” -A psychopath
If they ignored warnings from even relatively friendly states then I find it difficult to see the whole thing as something other than sacrificing some of their own people so they could wring some propaganda out of the event to shore up support for their war. When it first happened and they tried to lay the blame on Ukraine I figured it was more a case of, “Never let a serious crisis go to waste,” but it really seems like they knew it was coming and allowed it to happen.
Wezterm. Featureful like kitty but supports bitmap fonts.
You are advocating for the elimination of an entire ethnicity. Being an advocate for mass murder/genocide, do you consider your own life to be among those that is worth nothing and should be ended? You’d be a massive fucking hypocrite if you don’t.
Not everyone fell for the lies. It’s a re-writing of history to suggest that everyone was all aboard with the war in Iraq. That war was preceded by the largest protests ever to occur up until that point. I personally recall Hans Blix, the UN official responsible for weapons inspections in Iraq at that time, repeatedly telling us that there was no evidence of such weapons programs. The New York Times should presumably be at least as questioning as my, at the time, 18 year old self. Particularly since I turned out to be right.
Why does the US have any jurisdiction at all? This isn’t an American citizen. He didn’t do any of his supposed crimes in the USA. What right do they have?
Seventy-one people have so far died from exhaustion following the world’s largest single-day election in Indonesia last week, according to the government. Some 4,000 others fell sick between Feb 14 and Feb 18 due to fatigue after helping run the Feb 14 election, Hasyim Asy’ari, chairman of the nation’s poll body said in a press conference in Jakarta on Monday.
The latest election still claimed dozens of lives even after the government imposed an age cap for volunteers and mandated health checks after more than 500 polling station workers died following the 2019 vote.
What is going on there, Indonesia? That’s abnormal to say the least. These are not groupings of words you would expect to be seeing outside of like an election being held during a civil war or something.
Great. Now that we see an investigation into wrongdoing is all that’s required to pull support, we will be ceasing support of Israel as well? Right?
No. Maybe you should mind your business.
Not the dictionary definition of lobby, but the colloquial sense where it’s a synonym for bribery.
This is marketing. If they really wanted this they would lobby for it, the same way they get all their other interests looked after.
Not every virus is human compatible. I wonder what the actual chances one of these ancient viruses thaws out, encounters a human before the elements degrade it, and then manages to actually infect said human is.
There are more Jews in the USA than Israel. Who made Netanyahu pope of the Jews?
They can present themselves however they like, representing all Judaism is out of their jurisdiction. But I agree, an apartheid state claiming to represent an entire ethno-religious group could potentially inspire hate against that group in people who don’t fully consider the situation.
Israelis. Israel doesn’t speak for or act on behalf of all Jews.
Uh wow those replies are…Something.
I suspect it has to do with being a sort of household appliance. Similar to the fridge, the TV, the bathtub, etc. People think about it in that sense most frequently and it becomes the common parlance.
