Hamas doesn't have weaponry like that. Watch the video, it's an Israeli missile.

I imagine he's also made a private donation and isn't talking about it. He tends to do that.

That's Hasbulla and it's a real picture. He's 21, he has a growth hormone deficiency.

There's a book called Recipes For Disaster by Crimethinc, which is an actual Anarchist Cookbook, has less bombs and stuff, but there's a lot of neat stuff that will actually work.

Keep in mind having a ton of extensions can be a security issue. Not sure about the ones you have in particular, but some grammar and coupon ones can be sketch. AI extensions especially so.

Good to know, thanks! I'll wait for the website to return then

Masquerading as a democracy for western support does not mean they kill children more ethically than Hamas.

I wrote a whole paragraph up there addressing this. You treat this as if these are two equal sides, like a chess match. This is not the case. Subjugating millions of people will breed extremism. Explaining the root causes of extremism is not the same thing as condoning extremism. To end it, they need to begin by ending the subjugation or this cycle will continue.

I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand, and I don't know how many times I need to repeat that concept.

You read it but you processed nothing. Nowhere did I say that Hamas are the good guys or that their actions are excusable.

I do not know how I can dumb this down further for you.

If that's your takeaway, you're either completely lacking in reading comprehension or purposely misrepresenting my argument.

The part you're not understanding here is the obvious fact that Hamas commits horrendous acts, but that is a natural consequence to being subjected to an Apartheid regime. Isreal has the power to end that cycle of violence and chooses not to, the pressure need to be put on them. Just going "jeez both these suck" and moving on accomplishes nothing.

Have a nice day.

NEITHER is the victim

You clearly have no education on this subject. Go read about some of what the Isrealis have put the Palestinians though, and the massive power imbalance between them. I outlined some of that above, but you are being willfully ignorant.

If you want to sit on the fence and feel morally superior while atrocities continue to happen, that's your prerogative.

Yeah bro let's just flatten Gaza....again. And then nuke Tel Aviv. Justice.

Did you read anything I wrote lol? The Palestinians have already been being punished for decades, yet the violence continues.

I'm not siding with Hamas here. I'm pointing out an overlooked part of all this. Isreal keeps 2 million people, half of them children, in an open-air prison, bombs them constantly, murders their kids for minor transgressions and then (shocked Pikachu face) an extremist element breeds there. They then use that extremist element as propaganda for further bombings and land theft.

This is not a time to say "both sides bad" and move on. There is a cycle of violence here between two sides, but only one side here has the power to end that violence and it sure as hell isn't the side being subjected to an Apartheid state.

Does Isreal do investigations into the mountains of children they kill? Or do they just say they're "investigating" when something like this is clearly bad optics for them.

Isreal also undermines moderate Palestinian opposition in favour of Hamas, because they make good propaganda for them to justify their ethnic cleansing.

Isreal actively kills children and celebrates it. Go read about the Great March of Return. So many kids killed by the IDF. That's a lot more than "collateral damage"

Also a reminder that children make up 47% of Gaza, and Isreal happily continues to bomb them, and cut off electricity and running water as collective punishment.

Fair enough

You're not wrong. There's serious issues with the gambling industry that need to be dealt with, as well as outside social problems driving people to it.

That doesn't mean the whole concept of a lottery needs to be thrown out, or that anyone who participates is an idiot.

For real. I buy a ticket occasionally just because it's fun to think about what I'd do with the money for the few days before the draw. Worth the $2 in entertainment value. I'll occasionally win $10 or something, which is a bonus. I fail to see the issue with people spending an inconsequential amount of money for funsies.

It's the people who spend hundreds on lottery tickets that are the problem. Even then, people with gambling problems aren't idiots, they're desperate people who are being taken advantage of by the gaming industry.
