I think it's the realization the the community content is valuable, specifically to generative AI companies. Big tech companies with AI ambitions are extracting that value for free. I think reddit is somewhat justified in wanting to prevent that from happening to try to capture that value they have as being the forum for all of this content. My guess is there the same pipe that feeds search is also the same pipe that feeds generative AI tech.

At the very least make it clear that archive links should be in the comment type the post, it the link itself so we have a clear reference to the source.

Well that's a different point that the concrete and specific question of who and what destroyed this specific hospital.

Np. It's still way too much. And at this rate, maybe it will exceed the entire Afghanistan war.

I would generally trust people with guns and weapons data and expertise to provide the best analysis of evidence use to understand weapon use. Also, we are seeing more independent reporting with similar conclusions based on photographs of craters (or lack there of), long periods of burning (which is characteristic of rocket fuel burning not bomb explosions which tend to not cause long burning fires), etc.

So what sources are you holding in higher esteem?

Israel has dropped more bombs in this latest “offensive” than in the US did in the entire war in Afghanistan.

I believe the bomb count is not the entire Afghanistan, but any given year of the Afghanistan war iirc that being discussed on PBS News Hour last night.

You can acknowledge that there is uncertainty around who is responsible for the hospital, you can apologize for attributing blame prematurely without confirmation, and still hold Israel accountable for being reckless and disproportional in it's response and call for peace. It's damaging to her reputation and cause to double down on this when more evidence is coming out contrary to her initial claims.

So what is the unbiased source that investigated this faster than the US Intelligence community that was not directly involved in the current conflict?

Yes, there are blemishes on the US Intelligence's history. But a US Politician should have a little more deference you the US Intelligence Community.

Then why lie to strengthen your cause if it is already justifiable without the facts being known?

I think it's fair criticism . At the very least walk back and reserve judgement until there's more conclusive evidence. But I think until there's better evidence, there should be more respect given to the US intelligence community. It was not long ago trump was criticized for accepting foreign intelligence over the US intelligence community. I think it's fair to criticize tlaib for this as well.

And the thing is, the blame of who bombed the hospital isn't critical to advocating for peace, criticizing unproportial Israeli response, or other pro Palestine messaging.

Wtf is with quality on lemmy world these days. How is a medium article written like an ethics 101 student using ai assistance news worthy. It's formula 1 sentence summary linked to an article source, with one sentence over generalized conclusion... Over and over and over.

Does anyone have a better representation of the original Harvard letter and who signed. Where I am confused is that the authoring group is the "Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee" and co-signed by 33 other Harvard student organizations. (https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/10/10/psc-statement-backlash/)

So how are lawyers and other graduate degree candidates get put under this. I can't tell if folks are more fairly being punished by explicit signature, or more inferred to be a part of it by affiliation.

Where did you go to school that allowed you to be so enlightened and free?

When folks conflate a scientific law with a scientific theory. Theories are scientific explanations about why things happen. Laws are descriptions, that don't provide explanation.

Well I think Lemmy World, at least before lemeegrad was defederated from world, had a lot more socialist/marxist types being very vocal in the discourse trying to spin it in that angle. Also weird news sources seemed to be popping up a bit more in lemmy from al jazeera, turkey state media, and other socialist web sites. But I'm not sure if that is just because of how lemmy has less content so lower traffic stuff gets put up on my feed faster than reddit where I still have a lot of subs and a lot more content flowing.

When it comes to comments, both are similar in that it's hard to have a moderate take that:

1. Israel has justification and responsibility to go after Hamas in response to the massacre.
2. Israel should be measured in their response to avoid civilian death, but they likely won't.

We need ubi. But that funding for a ubi program needs future predictions of economics.

What are talking about? Did you read any of this conversation.

That's not who suffers most in financial collapse.

No. There's a lot of Americans that have shame and a strong desire to repeat those mistakes.
