What would clothes be categorised? Medical supplies? Only food? Sanitary napkins? Shoes? Israel doesn't need to provide this, just let what is needed for 2 million people to live given by the whole world.

Like they do now, and has been doing for decades? Yeah, it will be like that plus like what they do in West Bank now.

Yeah, the West, US and the only democracy in the galaxy shares a set of democratic values.

I didn't. But reading the whole thread again, I think the parent was saying even though Germany wasn't captured by nukes, it still was pretty gruelling to the civilian population. In that case my comment is not really adding to it. But I wanted to point that nukes were pretty bad too and even worse in many ways. There was a minisicule military objective in the use of those, but it was more of a threat to the whole world.

>"If what happened to them happened to us, there’d be a hole in the ground somewhere.”

And what keeps on happening to Palestinians, had that happened to them, what will it be? But I get it, pretty standard for a war monger and profiteer to invoke false narratives on the mission to sell more weapons.

As if dropping the bombs on Japanese civilian population would be allowed by Geneva convention.

It's worse, for sure. For example, when it comes to clubs in illegal settlements by Israel, UEFA and FIFA are not enforcing their own rules : https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/25/fifa-kick-isra....

The total of these two comments make no objective claims, rather says there are nuances, and complexities. But in all these complexity they are sure that Israel is right in their actions. Bipartisan support is on shared values, supposedly. Not so surprisingly, it even has a > I have <insert race/group> friends paragraph.

I got to say this is a pretty masterful deceit.

I am not sure who do you mean by usurpers. Here is the colonisers association, tasked with creating colonies: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Colonisation_Associat...

The colony in Palestine took off, due to the British preference of solidifying european control over Ottoman region, and the convenient façade of the historical claim.

People lived there before this are descendents of those who lived there in the past. Many stayed even after the expulsion by Romans, many returned. Some, obviously would have changed their faith, but none of that gives the European descendents any more right over it. We can all colonise Ethiopia if we were to go on like this.

>The Israeli military confirmed that the practice took place but claimed, “This activity ended a decade ago and does not happen any longer.”

Ah, the faithful and the righteous. Coming from the only democracy in the galaxy. What a disgrace to humanity!

There is rage, genuine rage; and there is rage as spectacle. Sometimes these overlap, but not necessarily. The spectacular rage is both incendiary and therapeutic. I can not help but remember this Black Mirror episode and see the parallel to it in many media : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_Million_Merits

>Is there anything more antisemitic than a German spitting at a Jewish person in the middle of 2023?

Zionists and Anti Semites work together. They both have the same message. Get out from here and go to your assigned place. I can only imagine what it would be for a Jew to stand for what is right, and not letting what happened to their ancestors not happen to others, but is assaulted for it. To add insult to injury they are called Anti semitic. The German administration tries hard to be the oppressor or with the oppressor.

The bulk of the findings would essentially rot in national archives. If US administration had any integrity left, it would have stopped arming Israel a long time ago. Just by its own laws and assessment. And by precedent in Israeli invasion of Lebanon. But no, more aid and more arms would flow. It would kill as much as it can. But it be swept under the rug as always.

Which government would qualify as repressive though? Pegasus is made in a place, where apartheid is the norm. The only qualifying criteria for that regime is if the other government is against them or not? And would they give pretty penny for it?

This is a bogus claim. The Ishmael guy just starts the paper by proclaiming his name. That's no way to start a rigorous dissertation. The publishing year is wrong too.

Looks like someone watched too much of those hydraulic press vs things videos. Of all the ways to send the message that iPad is a creative device, which can become the instrument of choice, they went with this.

AI will make what it is told. In this case it was genocide. Not that they would not achieve it without it. But its done to maximize the suffering.

I think this is cool and has been referenced in the Kingsman?

We can think of it as the arts equivalent of the spherical cows in vacuum.

>If you think about it, bottled water is the ultimate bullshit product. We put a freely occurring natural element in a plastic bottle, and create an object with the absolute worst utility-to-cost ratio. The object utility ends the moment you drink all the water, the plastic will stay as a residue for thousands years.

Oh my! I have been telling people just this. The sheer number of people who consume and throw this needlessly created packages is baffling. We have figured out water and its sanitation for most of the cases now. Just carrying a reusable bottle with water from home, and refilling potable water from sources you trust would save the environment from a lot of empty bottles. I would not say everyone can do this. But a lot of us can do this. Besides the bottles with less than a litre capacity are the worst.

I thought alluding to this part in Yes, Prime Minister is going to get across the idea of questionable trustworthiness of surveys. I did try to get the survey details from the given page though, but for some reason the survey page is not loading for me.

Although the protests in Capital against the regime and ministers are pretty revealing . This is a month old link and things might have changed, for the better or worse.

About peace though, it can only prevail with disarmament and talks. And reconciliation. I think we have too many actors, powerful actors, who doesn't want it. Yitzhak Rabin didn't die in his sleep, for one.

I am not sure how many people were surveyed and what were the questions in these. I am reminded of this from Yes, Prime Minister https://youtu.be/ahgjEjJkZks?si=_6nlxJ1okysqH07U

Considering what Haaretz is, banning them would not be a good idea. Even by the standards of this genocidal regime, that would be such a rare event of censoring. I think a more gradual and coercive strategy would be applied there. Deployment and outcome of that, if it were to be done, would be a case study.

The article's content evokes a bit of Orwelllian irony though, Minister of Communications threatening to ban the long(est?) standing news outlet.

If the Internet is available, then ofcourse these should be available in there. But on the contrary Al Jazeera website itself would be censored out of the Internet for Israel.

This is true. The inevitable replacement is going to take a toll. Finding one itself would be a pain, and the money would gigantic compared to what was paid before. One strategy is to plan for it and invest for it. With such long Windows, you could have enough with very little but consistent investments. If you are going to drive as long as you can, then keep on setting aside a car payment. Even when it is not needed.

No.

There can be regulatory bodies, which ideally should be self governing the media instead of executive of the elected government, which regulate some of the media attributes. But a blanket ban on a media house, for criticism in the name of national security? No. That is the failure of the civilian leadership to provide the security to the nation. Admitting that you are naked should the norm, not blinding the population from seeing you.

I think the said parallel is not true. Qatar is not a belligerent in the conflict.

That's the bane of democracy, not to say that we have a better alternative. Because democracy has been assigned to be any system where there are some elections and people vote. Universal suffrage is itself is pretty modern. The decisions in bastions of democratic countries where in the hands of a few elite. What is the distinguishing factor of a high quality democracy is it when it does have a set of constitution, and is republic by nature. The rule of law is enforced. Selective enforcement is nonexistent.

On an assessment by these very basic qualities, the current Regime in charge can't be really classified as a democracy. It is an excuse for democracy. An overgrown military outpost formed out of crusade era objectives and European anti semitic emotions. Not to mention the oil and perceived potential of the region to be a western adversary. In the words of US president, US-UK still believes that if there were no Israel, then they would have to create one. Which is ironic, since they are the ones who created it.

True, It is the Zionists. I can see the vast majority of the faith are against this inhuman occupation and genocide. Especially those who have first hand experience of the holocaust. At any point opposing the genocidal regime should not equate to hating on the people. The regime wants it and thrives on it.

This is the Hyundai Motor Group that is making investments. They are the parent organisation of Hyundai, Kia and Genesis. They also make Commercial vehicles. FSD, at this point have a lot if challenges, technology and regulation wise. But it is clear that these companies see value in their offerings being able to be driven without full attention from drivers. For that, I think this is not that bad of an investment.
