Hamas is a blight, no doubt, but it is a response to decades of oppression and harm, harm that Israel is gleefully embracing, even as the world turns against them. the kind of dysfunction that makes a state do what Israel is doing is not worth preserving. the kind of ideology that could justify what is happening right now is not worth fighting for.
Very well put. It reminds me of the quote:
If there were an Oscar for best theatrical performance by a country, Israel would win every year. It’s a country based on theater. It’s a lunatic state - completely insane.
It’s great that these people are receiving treatment, not only because it’s the right thing to do but also so that the world gets an accurate idea of how much damage is actually being done and what kind of resources will be needed to heal from this war and occupation.
The trauma experienced by hundreds of thousands of children and their parents in Gaza will also have long-term debilitating effects, psychiatrists and psychologists have warned, particularly as there are no therapeutic facilities left. Few of Gaza’s hospitals are functioning any more, even for operating on the severely injured.
There are also thousands of examples in the West Bank, especially with warrantless entries to Palestinian homes (most often done at night to instill more fear and suffering from sleep deprivation onto the Palestinians) and indefinite incarceration without charge, sometimes subject to torture.
This month the Weibo account Weibo Finance, which has more than 1.5 million followers, issued an instruction against posting any comments “that bad-mouth the economy”. The post appears to have since been deleted. Bloomberg reported that several other finance influencers had been told by Weibo to “avoid crossing red...
Why not invest in the US? This is not a political comment, I want to know the reason. Does Israel have weak labor laws or access to slave labor, or some other method to maximize profits?
Given Israel’s cyberterrorism and hacking/spyware industry, what is the benefit of producing foundational hardware for computer systems and networks in Israel? Is it Intel’s new “Pegasus™ ready” line of chips?
I don’t see why a free market can’t take care of this problem. Let the suppliers run their ads and if it’s not profitable then let them fold. None of this “please stop using ad blockers our business model sucks and we need you to accept worse overall service so we can stay in business”.
I don’t really care that much either.
This is the most important thing imo. Some people just don’t care (not saying it’s a bad thing). Others do so to each their own.
It’s gotten to such an extreme that some websites are nothing more than ad delivery mechanisms under the concept that “ads allow us to provide you quality content for free”, which, under the hood, is just a shitty business model that doesn’t work for consumers. I’ve seen websites that literally copy paste the content 2 or 3 times to extend the word count and have nonsensicle, out of order sentences that don’t contain any information. There are also websites that have incorrect information, which are also published with the sole purpose of serving ads to generate revenue, which imo is worse. Just another way that capitalism is making our world more shitty.
I’m using Jerboa and I sometimes see symbols next to peoples’ username. One looks like a “no message” symbol, and the other looks like a “no person” symbol in red. What do they mean? Are there more symbols?...
Thanks Wolf Link. The icon I was referring to is attached to my post (a red person with a red slash across it) and it is located between the user’s avatar and the user name. Your wolf is located to the right of your username, so the icon I’m referring to is on the left of the username.
Seriously. I don’t want to install something on my phone when the dev is just using a WebView, if that’s what it’s called. When the app is basically just a website with the browser hidden....
