But even then, they accused 10% of 12,000 aidworkers. Thats 1,200 people. What are the ties of the other 994 aidworkers who supposedly are involved?

The ones they listed there are less than 2% of aidworkers.

Maybe there were Hamas collaborators within the aid agency, you always have black sheep or infiltrators who join with an ulterior motive. But 10% is whole other ballpark. A ballpark that eliminates your funding as we have seen.

For me, that was a targeted attack by Israeli inteligence using the media to stave out the civilian population of Gaza. Specifically aimed at the weak and vulnerable part of the population.

I know, right?!

"He insulted not ALL of you."

Great. Thanks for the clarification.

He should also support adoption by same sex couples, surrogacy and IVF, but I kinda doubt he does.

I would question what "ties to militant groups" actually defines.

Is it active support of known Hamas-members? Or is it more like aidworkers giving school supplies to the school of the daughter of the 3rd cousin of the brother-in-law's grandmothers brother, who once had tea with someone who might be a Hamas member?

Because Gaza is contained in itself and not big to begin with. Everybody is connected somehow. And if you count indirect contact as "ties to militant groups" you could easily get to 10%.

This number, even if true, doesn't mean anything without definition.

When I did development work in Cambodia, I had contact with several former Khmer Rouge. They are part of the population. That doesn't mean I was connected to their genocide.

Why do they ALL have to be sleezebags?!!

You know its bad, when the corruption isn't surprising anymore and you're just like "Yeah, go figure."

Oh no! It seems like he couldn't answer this question truthfully with his wife present. Now, a secret family isn't so secret anymore if you tell your wife about it, is it?!

Yeah, that Panda is a leftover from better times when China gave them as diplomatic gifts. Its the offspring of 2 Pandas that were originally given to mexico before the 1980's when China stopped gifting and started the lending thing.

There are 2 more, that are not considered a loan, in Taiwan. But they are more a "F*ck your independence, you belong to us anyways"-gifts with the Chinese arguing that it was an inner country transfer and not a gesture to a foreign nation.

Nevertheless, all Pandas outside of China have been political pawns for the Chinese government including Xin Xin in Mexico.

They are given as a loan. The Wikipedia page about Panda diplomacy someone else linked is quite interesting and explains it all.

Its racists in tinfoil hats.

Did you know, that all Panda bears 🐼 worldwide are all owned by the Chinese government? Pandas outside of China are only on loan.

Just some useless information because of the username...

All people have both testosterone, the male "sex hormone" and estrogen, the female "sex hormone. They just produce it different quantities. Both are needed for all people.

There are a lot of very normal and quite frequent medical reasons why a person's hormone levels can be mixed up and for a woman (afab) to have a high testosterone level or for a man (amab) a high estrogen level.

Women (XX) produce testosterone in mostly their ovaries and adrenal glands.

Men (XY) synthesize estrogen in the Leydig cells and the germ cells in their testis.

If they kept it out of the news, I don't see why they should have known if nobody told them what's going on.

I do hope you didn't properly read the question? It's what book you love despite its somewhat low quality/ not being a "masterpiece".

Perfume is on all major literature and best books of all time lists.

The title remained in bestseller lists for about nine years and received almost unanimously positive national and international critical acclaim. Wikipedia

This is one of the great books of the 20th century. Who are you to imply its not of quality?!

It doesn't seem like he has any tear ducts. So he doesn't cry at all. Not all creatures do.

So you admit that you didn't watch out for her?

Feed her. She probably has the munchies.

Searching for Sugar Man

It's like a modern fairytale. An aging Latino day labourer from detroit with an assumed failed 1970's music career is unearthed to be utterly successful in South Africa without knowing it. And the music is great.
