Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Either people who don’t understand how elections work, or people who aren’t going to vote anyways and more than likely pushing some Russian psyop to split the vote/get dems to not vote like 2016 all over again. Biden is far from an ideal candidate for the US right now but I’ll take 4 years of him at his worst than to ever give Trump another day in the Oval.
Hamas has denied Israeli claims that it uses schools, hospitals and other civilian facilities for military aims.
We’ve seen recent video footage of Hamas tunnels accessed via hospitals, and reports about Hamas using hospitals, schools, and mosques to hide weapons goes back decades.
What video footage? I’ve never heard of this. The claims going back decades have been exclusively from the IDF and have never been able to be independently verified, in other words they’re bullshit.
I’m not sure “easy to find with a search engine” is a good proxy for truthfulness. The NBC article is entirely based on what the IDF says, and NBC says they could not verify the claims. There isn’t any evidence that prisoners were in the hospital for military purposes, it seems entirely reasonable they were taken there to be treated, Hamas has every incentive to keep the prisoners in good health. Israel on the other hand has systematically destroyed all healthcare infrastructure in Gaza and has tried to make up any possible justifications for their crimes against humanity. Giving them any charity or credibility here is just foolishness.
It is said that the first casualty of war is the truth. I do not think it is reasonable to believe anyone is telling the whole truth. This war seems to be driven by deep hatred on both sides. All those of us who are in our cubicles thousands of miles away (like myself) can do is to get a variety of news items from a variety of sources and attempt to discern the truth, and be willing to accept that we may not find it.
I don’t advocate taking any belligerent’s word at face value. But, considering their independently verified actions and stated motives (particularly those most unsavory), it’s usually pretty easy to understand what’s going on. Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people, whose land they are intent on stealing. We know this because they’ve said so and their actions all point in that direction.
The ones in the thumbnail look like silkworm pupas, which I tried cooked in oil in Korea. It was pretty good actually, like a nutty taste. Bit oily though-- wonder if they’d be good roasted instead.
Oh shit son! I used to work at DCA and while I enjoyed it the pay was abysmal. They argued for more, but that can only last for so long with inflation.
When people say we should separate the artist from the art, I think of Jay Johnston. I do not want to support a fascist by purchasing art or entertainment they have created.
Employers should proactively inquire about one’s political leanings before hiring someone. Fascism, bigotry, racism, or other conservative ideologies should be disqualifying factors in employment. Period.
There is simply no room in a modern culture for hate-based ideologies like conservatism.
It’s the big problem with both extremes, the right is obviously evil but the extreme left say stupid shit like that, call for burning people and extreme acts of violence or discrimination that they deem okay because it’s on the ‘enemy’.
The above commenter called for employers to discriminate against applicants on the basis of their political views. I simply pointed out that’s a bad idea and you went off about “both extremes” and how the left has gone too far.
I’m so sick of this shit. Yes, the j6er is a moron, but removing worker protections against political discrimination is also a moronic response to this issue. Who here is being “extreme”?
On one hand, kudos to figuring out how to do this. On the other hand, aren’t scalpers reselling at a much higher rate in order to make profit? Aren’t ticketmaster’s costs already outrageous? Regardless of the outcome of this case, consumers still seem to lose…
