Regardless of this claim, the point still stands. No Palestinian I’ve ever met accused Hamas of jeopardising the Palestinian people’s safety. Only Israel does, for obvious reasons.

This is like the police cornering a wanted criminal into a crowded bus and shooting everyone indiscriminately whilst blaming it on them.

I’m honestly curious. Have you ever heard of a single Palestinian accusing Hamas of using someone they know as a human shield? Has anyone ever, really?

The only “sources” backing these “well-known facts” are western media and Israeli-say-so. I’ve dealt with many Palestinians personally (I live in Egypt and we have a lot of them living here), and none of them ever complained about their families being used as human shields. Ever. You’d think some Palestinians would speak up about this by now if it were real.

You know who they unanimously consider unnecessarily brutal and cruel though? The IDF which treats them like less than dirt on a good day.

So by your logic, was the U.S in the right to extradite Julian Assange on espionage charges in spite of him being an Australian citizen living in his own country?

If so, what about Benjamin Netanyahu? Would the US try to extradite him from Israel if he gets indicted for his genocide in the US?

Do you think Native Americans would agree to define him as an explorer too, then?

But this is accurate. Columbus was an explorer, that was his mission. I’ve read his letters to Spain and he wanted to find bounty for the Spanish crown to convince them to give him more money.

And Adolf Hitler was a politician. That was his “mission”. We don’t define Hitler by his career though.

He murdered, tortured, enslaved kidnapped, interrogated, and raped people to find even more bounty.

I guess he went above and beyond on that mission, yeah? By your definition he seems more like a bounty-hunter/privateer and not an explorer, but worse in every way. (And how is rape supposed to tie into this narrative about his goal of securing more funding anyway?)

But he was an explorer, not a conquistador or conqueror. Those were military positions.

So by your logic, not having a military position pardons any atrocities he committed and waives the reason to call him anything other than “explorer”? He was a butcher and a rapist. That’s a fact.

You don’t need a rank and a hat to become a sanctioned piece of shit. That can happen sans the hat.

This post is ignorant.

Is this your opinion, or an “accurate” fact too?

(Replying to yours to officially welcome you into this pile of brothers/sisters/siblings where we type in parentheses and where none shall be ever lonely)

Yet they both committed atrocities (torture, murder, rape and god knows what else) and only one is being hailed as “explorer”.

(Also deleting mine since you did the research!)

You should stop overanalysing the problem. Let’s keep it simple and have a crack at this later.

“You blow, Jobs, you arrogant prick…”

And they can just hike their prices like everyone else is doing. So why invest time and resources into lowering them back down if it doesn’t affect them?

China is mostly self-sufficient, most of the world is not.

Seems like they’re siding with the lesser evil.

Thank you both. Had this saved on my phone and never figured out where it came from (probably discord). I didn’t know it was cropped.

Edit: Cool! Lemmy lets you change the image when you edit the post! Fixed!

Actual Egyptian. Can confirm.

You obviously didn’t pay any attention in basic. You have to use silver against that.

Asked if they feel part of the country, 70% of Arab citizens polled said “yes”, up from 48% in June, the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) said, describing it as the highest finding for the sector since it began such surveys 20 years ago.

I wonder what happened to change their minds (or what happened to the missing 38%)

Police have carried out arrests among Arab citizens accused of social media posts inciting pro-Palestinian violence, and on Thursday arrested five leaders of the Arab community who had planned to organise an anti-war protest.

Seems legit.

That is absolutely correct. It allows you to take a lot of the exposition the narrator normally has to do in order to explain things to the reader and integrate it in dialogue/narrative itself, and the protagonist doesn’t have to be a child/amnesiac/etc to ask obvious questions.

That’s the thing though, most people don’t fall in the same demographic as you.

Even negative attention is attention. If it bothers you then you’re thinking about it. If an advert bothered you enough to complain about it online or to someone irl then even though you’re not a customer, you’re a vector of transmission increasing their organic reach.

It’s an abhorrent concept.

What about MMORPGs? Where do they fit in this classification? I’m genuinely curious.
