With protests as rife as they are across the world, and sentiment against Netenyahu at its lowest as he begins murdering innocent people in Rafah (and crossing Biden's own red line as well as many nations red lines in the process), the last thing Biden, already dubbed genocide Joe, had to do was throw his full weight behind Israel and drag the US down with him.

We all know that Trump will be disastrous for the US, and a self-proclaimed dictator with followers who literally worship him as the Messiah will turn the US into a nation akin to what we've been deriding and attacking for decades. Trump cannot win, of course he can't. But to expect voters to back Biden when he's this brazenly in support of a genocide is delusional.

If dems want to win the vote, they MUST front a new candidate. Biden simply has too much blood on his hands this time. Dem voters will most likely abstain, and if not, then they'll split the Dem vote. Tell Biden to sit down and let someone else run.

I'm holding out hope!

I'm going to disable all automatic updates in the event that it happens!

Unfortunately LGTV's can't be jailbroken unless you were lucky enough to jailbreak it back before they patched it.

I got mine last year and had no idea the security on it was so tight. I'm just hoping smarter minds than mine can figure out new exploits for the LGTV now that there's demand with the ability to jailbreak PS4s

I tried to download a music video on limewire once. I was pretty computer illiterate back then and around 13 years old at the time when a friend at school showed me how to download things.

That music video turned out to be a woman being murdered at point blank range. It was ~5 seconds of my life but that video has never left my mind. It was far too early for video editing and far too 'amateur' to be a movie production. The way she begged for the guy to stop before he pulled the trigger, it was definitely real.

Holy. Shit.

I've no words!

Humans have 10 thumbs though...

Apparently they review the second screen via the camera. Any attempts to hide/block/hack/break the second screen would result in a breach of contract, which results in a charge for the full price of the TV and extra on top for damages/breach of terms etc.

You're made to sign a few documents before you receive your TV. I suspect they've covered all angles

There's a company which will give you a >40in LCD smart TV to keep, for as long as you want it, with the catch that the second screen that comes with the TV (it's a screen that is a couple of inches tall and spans the width of the device) is on at all times and only plays ads.

There's also a camera that actively films you and records your audio, video. It's also on all the time.

The company makes it clear that they're giving you a free, very well specced TV with all the amenities, and in return they'll collect your data. It's surprising how many people (who otherwise can't afford a TV) said yes.

Found it

UK's David Cameron: "to suggest there's genocidal intent? I do believe that's wrong"

They'll bend over backwards to support Israel, and people are asking what Israel has over the UK to make it so. At some point, answers will have to be given.

Are you implying everyone there is future hamas?

No, and yes. If Hamas means resistance then sure. I don't see any Palestinians condemning Hamas because Hamas are literally brothers and sons and relatives of the survivors who have been born into oppression and have no option but to rebel or die.

Let's say you have a child, completely innocent, born into this world. Within a few years, he has survived multiple wars, seen violence and death dozens of times, and is already desensitised to mutilation and death by the time he's 7 years old. His family is dead, he's surviving on the good graces of strangers with no prospects for education and no moral compass in the form of parents to guide him on what's right and wrong.

By the time he's 17, he's being recruited into Hamas, who under a 70 year occupation, comprises people just like him, that want a free Palestine where children can be children and oppression isn't the norm. You're not going to reform him without removing his raison d'etre. Until there's Israeli oppression and no free Palestine, he's Hamas.

Do I agree with what Hamas did on October 7th? No. But in all forms of media and in history, people who are oppressed and free themselves from imprisonment and oppression are seen as heroes (if they're imprisoned unjustly, of course!), regardless of the number of people they kill in order to achieve their goals (like blowing up a Death Star, killing everyone on it).

The Star Wars' rebel alliance is an example. So is Katniss in Hunger Games or the Na'Vi in the Avatar movies. In my mind there's little difference between them. We don't condemn them as terrorists so why is Hamas different?

Look I get it, and you're probably right, but this world doesn't work in that way.

The US just side-stepped Congress to approve an arms shipment to Israel for the second time this month. Missiles and bombs aren't the answer, but we have to remain consistent.

And what will summoning Netenyahu achieve? He'll go to prison laughing (assuming the US ever let it get that far!), knowing his successor will reap the rewards of an uninhabitable Gaza full of a resentful, broken population fated to become the next Hamas for us to condemn in a few years' time. Israel will win land and space for more illegal settlements that'll go unchallenged because the US will continue to veto any action against them.

I don't agree military action is the answer but in the middle of a war where one side is being heavily supported, it makes little sense why the other side wouldn't seek some extra power as well.

To protect "their" oil and to have a strategic base in Iraq that they can launch operations from. It's total BS.

The casualties suggest Hamas is collateral damage. The target, as has been made abundantly clear at this point, is the civilian population of Gaza.

You have to renew your driver's license every 10 years. That means in the worst case scenario, the image they're using of you could be 10 years out of date.

Those images are also not detailed enough to be used for facial recognition. Sure, it could help narrow down the list of suspected people, but they're crazy if they think they'd be able to pinpoint someone based on what they looked like 5-10 years prior.

I suspect these powers are being used for something else more sinister. Immigration, for example, to clamp down on people who have licenses and are delivery drivers, or taxi drivers for example.

I posted proof that Hamas uses hospitals as military bases

What proof? You've provided nothing. You just said they use hospitals as bases. There's no link, no source, no evidence at all.

Israel destroyed Al Shifa Hospital under the lie that there were tunnels and a command centre underneath, and weeks later there's still no evidence of anything that resembles a command centre.

There's no evidence at all that these facilities were being used as bases. Bombing thousands of wounded, innocent civilians under the probability that there might be a base (even though it's not confirmed) is just terrorism.

The only reason Israel isn't being done for war crimes right now is the US, and even they are saying the bombing is indiscriminate.

How can you possibly arrive at this conclusion? There's no evidence for this whatsoever.

The US asking for China's help is also a way of getting China to reveal what kind of arsenal it has at its disposal. China staying out if it makes perfect sense.

This conflict would stop if the US stopped supplying Israel, and condemned them and imposed sanctions on them. Following an Israeli ceasefire, the houthis would have no reason to continue their attacks and the problem would be resolved.

You've had the opportunity to play almost half of all the games you've bought this year, with Christmas round the corner to add to that tally.

That's a pretty good record, all things considered!

If someone uses your name to justify cruelty, no matter how insignificant the person may be, it's always worth speaking up.

People could also take the Museum's silence on the matter as affirmation.

Just look at her.

He's getting no rest at all.
