The BBC provided specific locations and dates to the IDF for each of the strikes highlighted in the article.
We asked if these locations had been struck by IDF forces and whether warnings had been given prior to these attacks.
In its response the IDF said it "cannot provide any further information regarding these specific locations".
It said that it had "called on civilians in Gaza to move south for their safety but will continue striking terrorist targets in all parts of Gaza".
If Palestinians COULD get rid themselves from Hamas, they definitely would. Israel helps the Palestinians to get rid of the Hamas cancer - this unfortunately is an brutal and awful process.
And Hamas was caring for jews worldwide by trying to exterminate the israeli cancer. You are right that they are both dying from too much caring for each other
The hamas that Israel supported to undermine the secular Fatah? And now them killing 200 civilians to kill one alledged Hamas leader is the cure? Fuck off.
Yeah usually like 9-15 years. Even long-lived small dogs like mini poodles are lucky to get to 18. For a big dog, 31 must be akin to a human living to 200.
No countries recognize a right to protest at any time and location. Imagine if someone could protest the government by just forming a human circle around the leaders shouting, “you can’t move us!” or by standing in a library and yelling constantly.
True, I don’t want someone to be able to “protest” in front of my front door and stop me going in. The purpose of protest is to be inconveniencing through as only allowing it in places where it can be ignored only serves to allow you to shout into the void
Explaining the ineffectiveness of sanctions to an American:
ok so imagine you have McDonald’s but you also have Burger King and McDonald’s pulls out but the Russians can just make their own McDonald’s and they can still buy Burger King…
I guess the term “common” is going to be problematic because it’s subjective.
Lets just say I’ve personally observed maybe a half dozen people drinking from regular mugs like that over the years - and it’s not like I spend my life trying to see what mugs people are using. I simply meant that it’s not really news worthy.
It’s a stupid idea. I’ve been in cars where the driver does it every morning on the way to work. To the surprise of no one coffee goes all over the car most days.
Damn. I remember looking at a book at the Grand canyon rim souvenir shop that documented all the hundreds of people who have died by falling into the Grand canyon over the many decades. It’s kind of a sobering reality when you stand right on the edge and look down hundreds of feet and realize that it wouldn’t take much for your life to end right then and there.
Somewhere a photographer from 20 years ago has a photo of me standing right at the edge probably of this exact same cliff. I still can’t believe I did that as I have a severe fear of heights, lol.
Hope the kid gets better and gains a healthy fear of heights after this.
Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon. Maybe it should be required reading—or at least required skimming—for anyone walking around out there. So many dumb-dumbs with cameras trying to get selfies on the edge, or just wanting to look over…
I remember reading that book. My takeaway from it was that if I go hiking in there, I’m taking a friend.
One of the major risk factors for dying out there was if you were a guy going out there by yourself. I’d bet they would all be alive today if they just had someone else there to tell them their idea was stupid, and sometimes you just need to say it out loud before you realize its dumb halfway through explaining it
I always have this harrowing thought every time I was there (I lived in AZ, it was a once-every-few-years sort of affair). I have a memory of my Dad posing for a picture there, right where there’s an ankle-high wall leading to certain doom. He didn’t fall, but it wouldn’t take much and it gives me such Call of the Void vibes looking at that photo.
Or at least turn their attention to the real conspiracies. They’re positive that there’s 5G tracking chips in the COVID Vaccines, but it’s lunacy to think that Trump stole classified documents and tried to overthrow the US Government.
leftist conspiracy theories: the tonkin gulf incident was a setup, declassified documnets show so
right wing conspiracy theories: the gay satanist democrats are extracting fictional drug from abducted kids, in basement of this pizzeria, which has no basement. i know this from the most reliable source of all: mystic readings of 4chan
reality is boring. it’s the boring shit that gets things done; while there are some exceptional people you should never meet your heroes. wouldn’t it be cool if instead you knew something that no one else does?
that “secret knowledge” is a part that allows conspiracy theory believers feel superior to non-believers. this is easier if believer is otherwise unremarkable or even miserable, stuck in some hole with no future, is a loner, can’t move and so on. it also helps if they are gullible and or can’t verify information they receive. if you have an hour to waste, watch this www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfhYyTuT44
I know, I was pointing out that it sounds like a total fantasy. I actually don’t believe people actually believe all that stuff, but it’s up there in yankeeland so what do I know.
I understand why conspirancy theories are popular, it is fun to me to think about them. But I don’t believe and the few interactions I had with conspiracy theorists online make me think they are all hard trolling or insane.
if they allotted their limited time and attention carefully, they wouldn’t believe in conspiracy theories. i do think that true believers need professional help, 9/10 of cases
The root cause of this is Islamic jihadism sprawling out of control across the Sahel. it’s causing a ton of instability and governments are struggling to withstand it.
It’s the reason Wagner is in the region to begin with, and why Western militaries have a presence in the region. Definitely plays an important role in international interest as well.
If only there was a way to have Twitter like features spread across hundreds if not thousands of independently owned servers that could join together in a sort of union or federation, if you will, as they see fit for their purpose. Oh well, I guess I can dream.
It’s got to be hard to maintain the momentum once the government decides they’re fine with murdering the protesters. The Iranian government also let women go without headscarves for this long, I imagine as a way to let the temperature cool. They never intended to repeal the law, only let the protests disperse letting the protesters think they’d won that small concession.
As a swede I am on the fence on wether Sweden should join NATO in the first place, but at least we’re not out for the stupidest fucking reason anymore.
Sweden currently would be in a perfect selfish situation.
Norway and Finland are in. So sweden cannot be attacked by russia without NATO helping them unless russia only attacks islands. But Sweden has free choice to participate or ignore NATO being attacked.
Now Sweden has to help NATO wherever they are being attacked.
Finland and Sweden have been cooperating in matters of defense for a long time. Now they both are NATO members, that united defense should be a credible deterrent to Russia. In Sweden was left out, that structure would have been weaker.
I think most people who have switched sides, who were originally for/split, would today argue that it’s unlikely that Russia would stage another war in the coming years. Looking at how poorly they are performing in Ukraine.
So getting into NATO with the possibility that Erdogan’s demands will have an actual effect on the Swedish laws has not been deemed worth it right now.
I also doubt anybody reasonable would consider some of his demands to be achievable, Turkey in EU today?
Worth noting I am partly speaking from my own assessment as well. I want us to join NATO but I don’t find it to be an affair that is as urgent anymore and I’d preferably have it done without any greater effects on our justice system or other parts that Erdogan was unhappy about.
However, it’s worth noting that there are still a reasonable amount of swedes who are completely against NATO.
West was coping a few weeks ago with an internal conflict incited by Prigozhin, so that Putin can die and Russia stop. Even Greta Thunberg is now part of the psyop, its gotten so bad. Stop the cope, Russia won this war of attrition months ago.
Moreover, the list of wunderwaffen game changers that failed continues to grow:
Javelins
Nlaw’s
Bayraktars
T-91 twardys
Himars
Large numbers of apcs mwraps
M-777’s
Leopard 2’s
…
The only thing on the horizon is NATO preparing for a final scream of agony, a final war to end wars, considering now all of NATO media is suspiciously quiet over USA sending banned cluster bombs to Ukraine. This only sets a precedent for the other banned weapon - nuclear.
