Right, because alcohol is the white man's drug. Plain and simple.
They made alcohol illegal for a while but it turned out to be too onerous for the white people so it was legalized again. Marijuana laws have caused massive damage to minority communities, so they remain in place.
29/1139 gives you 2.5%. Children are a protected group under "non-combatants" in int'l law, and Israel has killed an estimated 13,000, or 40% of total deaths if it's 32,000, in just 6 months. Although I do agree with the other commenter that the correct number of children to kill, under any circumstance, is 0, I also think big problems need to be addressed first. Killing 13,000 children in 6 months is a big problem. The kicker here is the complete impunity, both legally and in the mainstream consciousness/ news reporting, with which Israel massacres children. That to me makes a whole lot more people than just Israel complicit in this big problem.
No mate, war is when both countries have a military. This is a technologically advanced, nuclear armed nation genociding some of the poorest people in the world who are held captive in an open air prison. It's a disgrace to the perpetrators and their supporters.
That's horrible, it shouldn't happen to anyone. We need more awareness and more trauma therapy, especially for children. Fortunately Israeli victims at least have a platform to be heard and sufficient resources available for treatment, but Palestinians do not. I'm not sure if there's even a single fully functioning hospital left in Gaza, even after Israel turns back on the electricity, water, and gas. If they ever do.
James Gordon, a US psychiatrist ... said recovery was possible even in severely traumatised children, but only if the outside world did not give up on them.
Israel has killed more Israeli hostages than Hamas has.
How do you know this?
What caught me off guard was that Hamas attacked military targets (not exclusively though) and the total amount of children killed on Oct 7 (including Israeli friendly fire) was 36. Israel has destroyed 70% of Gaza's residential areas and killed over 13,000 children. 13,000 children! It seems the label "terrorist" was applied to the wrong side, especially when you consider the current situation in Rafah. Over a million people, starving, traumatized, not knowing when the next attack is coming and completely unable to defend themselves or even find a safe place. It's unconscionable.
That sure sounds like the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective.
Are you saying the world literally revolves around bankerbros? Well then if 2 pm becomes the middle of the night that's just the price we all have to pay to protect the profits of our bankerbros.
Already in the 1920s the Labor movement disregarded its socialist roots and concentrated on building the nation by constructive action. According to Tzahor its leaders did not "abandon fundamental ideological principles".[15] However, according to Ze'ev Sternhell in his book The Founding Myths of Israel, the labor leaders had already abandoned socialist principles by 1920 and only used them as "mobilizing myths".

This is a great point. "It doesn't work under the existing paradigm" doesn't mean it can't work.
