Ummm. Source?

I seem to be collecting vintage lenses. I stared by getting an adapter for my mirrorless camera and I just fell in love with the lovely character their 'flaws' give them.

Literally in the Israeli Times article you linked:

We are both killing the terrorists who participated and killing the terrorists who will want to commit terror in the future,” Halevi told troops and commanders of the 5th Reserve Brigade

This is some Minority Report shit. Israel must have some psychics in their "Precrime" Police devision.

Like, are we all too desensitized to the insane shit being said that this is somehow normal and ok to just be published without comment in a newspaper?

Is the article you linked implying that criticism of Israel is just anti-American propaganda? That the people criticizing Israel just don't know what they're talking about?

The article you linked is an article from early November 2023. This article from NPR, published on the same day as the NYT article you linked, talks about Israel invading North Gaza with a force too small to occupy the city. The authors wonder how such a small ground force could be used to hold and control the city.

As it turns out, the IDF had no plans of holding it. They planned to erase it.

It's something rather uncomplicated if you look at it through the lens of settler colonialism. This is been Noam Chomsky's project for decades if you're interested in looking deeper into it. But yes the bad blood and the bad faith arguments run deep.

The Brits have undoubtedly the best outlets from a safety perspective, despite their size. North American outlets are garbage by basically all measures. European plugs are weirdly round, but very functional.

My two (€/100)s

Yes, but at this point it literally could not look any more like a genocide. By every legal mechanism possible at this point, any stronger wording could not be possible. By that logic, genocide can only happen in the past, after a trial has made an official ruling.

The trial has begun, and was overwhelming voted as having merit. I don't know what more anyone could want here. We're staring down a live-streamed extermination and debating the wording we can use to describe it.

If the ICJ rules this a genocide in the future, the actions taken by its alies right now could ammount to assisting in their genocide.

I mean the preliminary ruling couldn't have found anything more than what they said: that Israel's actions in Gaza could plausibly ammount to genocide. Canada, and all countries, have a responsibility to stop genocides before they happen. The ICJ condemned the mass killing of civilians by the IDF in no unclear terms. The ICJ condemned the blocks to humanitarian aid entering Gaza in no unclear terms. The ICJ quoted statements by the Israeli minister of defence from multiple addresses as having plausible genocidal intent.

Be it a #genuine genocide or not, hiding behind the preliminary aspect of the ruling doesn't absolve Israel, the US, Canada, or the world of its responsibility to take action to stop clear crimes against humanity committed by the IDF that could plausibly amount to genocide, and that are being perpetrated with western supplied weapons.

We collectively have the power and responsibility to pressure Israel to respect international law.

I mean, the 5+ ads that Google serves at the top before real results are not the result of SEO. It's a problem sure, but don't take the credit away from Google. They worked hard to make sure you see those ads.

Ironically, this post has some serious "Checkmate, Atheists" energy.

What do you call a masturbating cow?

Legit worth it though

I'm not sure blasting adhoc justifications for what you feel is really philosophy, but if that's what we're doing... My mistake. Philosophy then. So tell me, Socrates, what is a human right?

Deep in that American politique, eh?

I mean healthcare is definitely a human right, but there is always more we could be doing. That's a kind of arbitrary distinction that I don't think adds anything to the discussion here.

Basic human needs are basic human rights. I really do think it's as simple as that.

The text OP provided explains that. It's a percentage of total linux users, not a percentage of computer users in that country.

Explain?

What are you basing that on? And is it a meaningful distinction? Bombs sure as hell don't discriminate based on politics...

Missing a 'w' or a comma.
