I don't really get the logic: is an older claim or a more recent claim to land "more valid"?

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.

Interesting story. I wonder what would have happened if Nortel produced the phones in Canada.

So Israel was a person in Genesis?

You're not suggesting a rules-based international order, are you?

What's the implication of a "nuclear powered" sub? Does that mean it also has nuclear weapons?

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.

Banned from the server where their comment with that icon appears?

I'm still trying to grasp federation; sorry if it's a stupid question.

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.

Nice! Is that a web browser or an app that you're using? It doesn't look like that for me on Jerboa.

Where do you see those?
