That makes sense. Probably tries to stick closely to the prepared phrases, and realized too late what he replied that to.

I mean. I agree that Hamas are fuckheads and the leaders are very safe somewhere else. They don't care that much about the response. And of course I condemn Hamas' killing of civilians.

Hamas is a tumor that is not interested in lasting peace with Israel. I agree that moderate factions should be governing.

Now, as what Israel should do. It's not easy, I agree. Any option has drawbacks, so there is no good solution, especially at this boiling point.

Keep up the siege, or rather lockdown athat point, but let necessities of life through. Let the Red Cross and other orgnizations help the civilians.

The issue is, that doing this will not lessen the disdain peolle in Gaza have for Israel and become new fertile ground of hatred against Israel. Unless they kill everyone there, at which point the situation is solved. But for what price?

What a time to be alive to see millions of people getting starved to death live while world leaders applaud and call it defense.

Not like the situation isn't already ugly, but from Gaza to the Westbank to the border zones of Israel the situation feels like really going into a storm of blood. With countless innocents on both sides suffering.

The difference here is that Starmer was directly asked if shutting off water and all supplies to Gaza is okay, he daid that it was Israel's right to do so.

He followed up with the international law, but he did say in no uncertain words that starving all people of Gaza is Israel's right.

He also repeated himself, I think he wanted to make very sure that he positioned himself as pro Israel, because of the stigma of anti semitism in the Labour party.

I mean, Hamas has, probably. But the original post is Hezbollah hollering. Thoser are two different organisations.

I understand that Labour has to compensate for the chain of allegations of anti-semitism in the past, but I am not sure if that's the best take.

Hezbollah is holding American citizens hostage?

Also, the word of head of state holds a certain amount of weight.

When Steve on Twitter claims such a thing, not very credible. But the president of the United States is another level, you'd expect him to have more information thatn Steve on Twitter and to carefully choose his words on critical ongoing issues. That's why this is a big deal.

And yes, the babies in incubators thing certainly casts another dark shadow on this.

Yes, exactly this. You want people who can't see behind the simple facade. Because they are more likely to be easily fooled. You don't want to work someone who is very sceptical or just moderately sceptical. In that time you could work through a bunch of people that can't see behind this and pull out money from them.

Scammers want easy marks. Why wouldn't someone make it easier for themselves by naturally filtering out people that can't be easily fooled?

By Wednesday, several neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip had been demolished after the Israeli military pounded the area with air strikes.

Touma told the AP the U.N. staff members were killed in their homes across the Gaza Strip. She said the UNRWA headquarters in Gaza City and many schools-turned-shelters were damaged as well.

When their precision is currently at "hitting the targeted neighbourhood".

Your invitation with free lodging in Den Haag is still open, Vlad.

Come, it's beautiful this time of year.

I mean, it worked. Made him train the dog.

Just prepare properly.

Take 5 minutes of your day to excersie a small speech about how you never knew anything, nobody knew anything in fact and we were just following orders. If we all feign ignorance we can pretend like this happened under our watch.

Also, at this point, it might just ingrained in people there is a L-side and a R-side which correspond with their equivalent of left and right even without knowing English. It can be abstracted as consistent symbols if nothing else.

Yeah. realistically Isreal could offer Ukraine a lot more in help than Palestine. The sad reality, gotta kneel before the rich and kinda ignore what they do the poor if you want something. And Zelensky certainly wants some things.

NO ONE wants the Palestinians, and that should tell you a lot about who are really the villains in this conflict.

Uhm. I just like to point out that for hundreds of years barely anybody in Europe wanted Jewish people, with some brief windows during the French revolution, some Prussian kings and Poland. That doesn't mean that any action against the Jewish people of Europe was justified, just because almost nobody liked them.

You got a very... early 20ths century logic there.

I didn't have to go through it directly. I was a child and my grandma didn't let me see my grandfather in his past months. It apparently was really bad and she wanted me to keep the memory of how he was when he was well. Heck, while the older family members got to visit, she basically took over the care on her own. She shouldered this burden of him losing himself so nobody else had to and continued on another decade afterwards. She was quite the strong woman.

Good, going out on a high note is great.

Plus the benefit that her actual death was in her sleep.

My grandma wasn't skydiving, but she also died in her sleep, which was great. Was well the days before, then went to bed and never woke up. Much prefered to how grandpa slowly died of cancer while also having Alzheimers. That wasn't fun for anyone. Never waking up is certainly one of the best deaths one can have.

I agree. I had very mixed success with maths in school. The topics I was the best was things I could understand. E.g. calculation of probabilities or how long it would take for debt to be repaid with certain parameters. But as math got abstract I got lost, because for me it was a just a bunch of formulars that seemed arbitary to me. Maybe it was me or maybe it was the teachers failing to explain why we're doing what we're doing.
