It has,this is a land grab. Israel is creating hard infrastructure for a prolonged occupation and to create more settlements. They are quite open about it.
Asking them to take down stuff that is clearly false and can endanger people is not censorship.
This is exellent advice.Write the number of a solicitor on your arm. Because if you are arrested and searched,they will often hold on to your bags and things found in pockets,so having the number written on your arm can help a lot.
Oh, they are dangerous alright because they consider themselves righteous and having God and “Tradition” on their side. People who consider themselves righteous have no doubts that everything the do ,regardless how vicious, is meant to be by God. So all logic goes out the window. I think not all are like that, but they are a huge useful pool of people who can be used and manipulated with ease. Just like a cult, none of the decisions their leaders make are questioned.
Laughter is a great weapon, as even the Irish Bards of old knew. And the plus point is that it is true, they are old and weird. They want to go round inspecting children’s genitals…definitely weird. They rather mothers die than get medical treatment in an event of a dangerous pregnancy. Likewise, they think child marriages are OK. They think forcing women to have babies is OK but passing laws to help those babies live is not. They want to go back in time and roll back all the progress society has made in being kinder, fairer and more inclusive. They love conspiracies and think they have special secret knowledge . There is so much more,I hope someone turns it all into a catchy song that goes viral.
I think there is little to no trust between the parties. I imagine that even with a ceasefire there is a real risk that as long as Netanyahu and his right wing government are in power. They will break it whenever they please. They will make up some reason. Maybe a three-year-old gave them a nasty look or picked up a rock. There will need to be neutral observers allowed in and journalists, to create transparency and trust. I can’t see it holding unless both parties are made to follow international law and participate in reconciliation, like they did in Rwanda.
They said that last time it was a “tragic accident” so what was it this time?
It’s not just the memes.I used to hang out in several political and news subs and it is dire.
Yeah, I just finished reading and I don’t understand why the world is not acting. Why can Israel act with impunity. The Western nations have clearly shown that the rules are different for non-white people and that their lives are not as valuable. The hypocrisy is shameful. These are people with dreams and hopes just like us. The language used by the government, describing Palestinians as vermin and animals emboldens the settlers. There seem to be few repercussions for killing a Palestinian, if any. Israel keeps saying ups this was a mistake and ups we bulldozed entire villages and ups, a mass grave. They say they will investigate but when they do, they find no wrong doing or just a misdemeanour or an error. The whole situation is a clusterfuck, any other country would be sanctioned at the least, and ostracised. And why are the other Arab nations not helping Palestine more? I understand the situation is complicated, but there are many diplomatic measures to put pressure on Israel without getting involved in the fighting.
Swiss Cow is down as well it sees.
Yes, many countries have sent food, but Israel has been throttling the supply by not letting trucks through at the crossings. Hence, the air drops and trying to build a pier.
Plus all the people under the rubble.
It looks like Netanyahu is trying to draw other countries into the war. The longer he can keep it going, the longer he has to try to shore up his position. Once the war is over, so is Netanyahu.

“Some reported Israeli soldiers firing at them and said they passed bodies strewn alongside the road.”
You clearly didn’t read the article and read only the headline.
That was an interesting video.I have known people who lived in vans, and the only ones that lasted long term are those that had a good support system. Some had friends/family where they could park up for a while now and then. All that lasted several years, tend to meet up with other van living friends and exchange good places to park and to avoid. And one thing they all had in common is that they were really tidy and organized.
Same in the UK, saying anything even vaguely negative about Israel can get you into trouble.I wish we could have open and fair discussions, How will we ever end wars if we can not even Communicate?
Good,let them go. They have all their wealth offshore and barely pay tax. They are the real scroungers and parasites.
