Kwakigra, to news in Israeli death toll passes 600, another 2,048 injured

This is a lie. In the late 70s and early 80s even the PLO was pushing for a two state solution and even removed “Anti-Zionism” from its official goals in the 90s. I’m not going to say everyone in Palestine has always supported one solution or another like you’re saying. I’m not going to say that everyone in Israel wants to eliminate all Palestinians from Israeli territory either, although many do, especially the political powers who blocked the two state solution from the other side during that time. This simplistic reading that Palestinians are nothing more than frothing-mouthed mass-murderers is disgusting especially considering who has had power over whom in recent decades.

War is not a heroic struggle of good vs evil, it is a series of economic and political developments which have been transpiring for decades. There has been a lot of bad behavior generally which lead us to this point. Let’s not offer absurd ideas in times of turmoil like this. That’s not going to help any innocent Palestinian or Isreali civilians getting caught in the crossfire.

Kwakigra, to news in U.S. President Biden says "Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under single government" and "extremist violence against Palestinians in the West Bank must stop"

Talk is cheap. Pull the plug.

Kwakigra, to news in IDF evidence so far falls well short of al-Shifa hospital being Hamas HQ

Watching those newborns suffocate to death on a table over the course of the day was something I’m never going to forget. If the IDF thinks they can move past this without a lot of scrutiny, I hope they’re dead wrong.

Kwakigra, (edited ) to news in Palestinians Sue Biden for Failing to Prevent Genocide in Gaza

I made a good faith effort to research this claim you made but I couldn’t find anything other than a reddit post making the same claim. Where did you hear this? Also, how would it be relevant to anything I’ve linked or said?

Kwakigra, to news in Palestinians Sue Biden for Failing to Prevent Genocide in Gaza

It would be nice if everyone serious about human rights said so. The Intercept has already discussed this phrase with Marc Lamont Hill.

Kwakigra, to news in Palestinians Sue Biden for Failing to Prevent Genocide in Gaza

I stand with the people who think things like what the radical right wing secular government of Israel is inflicting on innocents should never happen again. There’s another explanation of the phrase in that link, and it’s the same explanation used by anyone who is in support of human rights.

Kwakigra, to memes in alternative to trees

Cyberpunk city with no plantlife other than these algae vats all over the place. Big towers of murky green liquid.

Kwakigra, to risa in It's true.

Seconded. The Expanse is an untapped goldmine of strong characters and weirdness.

Kwakigra, to news in Afghan girls as young as 16 arrested in shops, classes and markets in Kabul by the Taliban, who labelled them ‘infidels’ for wearing ‘bad hijab’

The lesson we Westerners can learn from this and some action we can take right now is not to support the establishment and proliferation of far right-wing extremist religious organizations anymore. The action we should not take is to get involved with Afganistan’s affairs and make the problem worse than we’ve already made it.

Kwakigra, to news in On TikTok, the war in Gaza is a game

The IDF spends a lot of time trying to jam Tiktok because unlike an American-run company it’s not so easy to pull down everything supportive of Palestinian rights. I’ve seen more first-hand footage from the people being ethnically cleansed on Tiktok than anywhere else. Tiktok had live updates of the infants suffocating to death after they cut the power from Al-Shifa hospital and their generators ran out, and it was Palestinians themselves reporting on the situation moment by moment. That would not be allowed on Youtube, Facebook, Reddit, or Instagram.

Kwakigra, to news in Prague shooting: Gunman dead after killing more than 15 at Charles University

Protecting mass shooters is a right wing thing, which their right wing may or may not do as a consequence of this. Mass shootings themselves outside of terrorism were first popularized by the Columbine shooting which inspired many copycats hoping to become as notorious. Thankfully the article calls this POS “the gunman” instead of giving them the infamy they may have wanted.

Kwakigra, to news in Outraged family buries hostage killed by IDF, vows to 'shake the country'

I live in a red state. At a certain point it just comes down to what people want to believe regardless of outside information. This isn’t going to change any minds who associate with Zionism, but it could be another straw for people whobare reasonable but are bombarded 24/7 with state propaganda and don’t know what to believe.

Kwakigra, to news in Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of deliberately attacking civilians and journalists in Lebanon

And if they weren’t, Hamas was using them as human shields. If they weren’t, then they should have obeyed Israel’s directives to evacuate. If they did, then they shouldn’t have voted for Hamas. If they didn’t, then they shouldn’t have been born on land Israel wants.

Kwakigra, to news in Top UN court orders Israel to prevent genocide in Gaza but stops short of ordering cease-fire

This is good to keep in mind in general although I’m not sure how it’s relevant here. In fact, there are the definitional points from Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide quoted by the order in the body of my post. The point of this ruling by the International Court of Justice is that there is a credible case for genocide here according to the definition of Genocide which Israel explicitly agreed to.

Kwakigra, to news in North Korea ramps up preparations for war with US

I think I’ve seen this headline on a regular basis since I learned to read. North Korea exists in a state of constant saber rattling.
