I admire how you can focus on the positive. I wish I had some of that, lol.

Wait so what's your take on this (from the article)

Video circulating online Saturday shows an IDF helicopter taking off from the beach with the U.S. pier in the backdrop. Two U.S. officials told CBS News that the U.S. pier was not used in the IDF operation. It is offshore to assist delivery of humanitarian aid. A U.S. official explained that the helicopter landed south of the facility on a beach but not within the cordoned area of the pier.

"The pier facility was not used in the operation to rescue hostages today in Gaza. An area south of the facility was used to safely return the hostages to Israel," a U.S. official said. "Any such claim to the contrary is false. The temporary pier on the coast of Gaza was put in place for one purpose only, to help get more urgently needed lifesaving assistance into Gaza."

nearly 20 million pounds of food ashore since it began on May 17.

With a population of around 2 million in Gaza that's 10 pounds of food per person over some 50 days. About 90 grams of food per person per day. 90 grams is like half an apple.

Jfc, and no working hospitals for the wounded. No medicine, and no food. This is unconscionable.

Is Israel going to just keep re-bombing and re-displacing the entirety of Palestine?

Seems too little too late. It was the U.S. car manufacturers that gutted the U.S. auto industry anyway... now they get a handout? Meanwhile the fossil fuel industry is subsidized to the tune of $20 bn a year, which decimated market competition for EVs.

THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST INTERNATIONAL LAW!

(I guess those downvoting you haven't seen you around yet, they didn't catch the sarcasm lol)

more than 500,000 Israeli settlers living in the West Bank

I didn't know that over 5% of the population lives in illegal settlements.

"Everyone knew by then that such vehicles could be carrying kidnapped civilians or soldiers," a source in Southern Command told Haaretz. "There was no case in which a vehicle carrying kidnapped people was knowingly attacked, but you couldn't really know if there were any such people in a vehicle. I can't say there was a clear instruction, but everyone knew what it meant to not let any vehicles return to Gaza."

Is that why there were so many charred cars? It never really added up to me- Hamas had no aerial capabilities (unless you count hang gliders), no tanks, RPGs are single use, and yet there were tons of blown up cars.

Jfc looks like child cancer patients in that one pic.

Good that there are reporters on the ground to show the world what Russia is doing.

“They cook leaves in water and spices. Even using the water is risky, because there’s no power to run the desalination plants.”

“Solar power is no longer available in Gaza either. Israeli drones have systematically targeted every solar panel on every roof across Gaza. They want people to lose hope and starve,” he continued.

Issa explained that people believe expired canned foods, when made available in Gaza, are making their children sick. This has led some to try to avoid such foods for fear that they would not be able to get treatment for their kids should they fall ill, given that northern Gaza no longer has any health system to speak of.

I'm sure this is why Israel kills all the reporters they can.

Person is psycho

Pro-Israel

Checks out

Sharply more Americans than 20 years ago say antisemitism is a very serious problem, as Jewish Americans' reports of poor treatment exceed those of other faith groups.

It seems like the Jewish Americans are just reporting it more.

The number of hate crimes reported to police in the nation's 10 largest cities rose again in 2023, according to preliminary data released Friday from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University.

...

New York and Los Angeles saw some of the largest increases in anti-Jewish hate crimes, rising 12.6% and 48% respectively, while Los Angeles and Chicago saw 40% and 300% increases in anti-Muslim hate crimes, according to the study.

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

That's a stupid thing to say. I recently had an exchange with him and found out he's kind of off his rocker, so I wouldn't sweat it too much if I were you.

"Racism is ok but reverse racism whoa nelly hold your horses".

A comment on an article about victimization, lol.

Imagined persecution can have real results, often playing into the hands of the rich & powerful.

You ok? You jumped straight into imagined victim mode. I never said or implied any of the things you're defending yourself against, and I don't believe they are true.

I read and generally like your comments, and I don't think you think that your personal experience invalidates statistics. Are you stressed out or something?

No harm meant.
