At this rate they’re going to be making Star Wars stuff without Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker.

Geez what’s next, a Breaking Bad show without Walter White or Jesse?

Meanwhile on the other side of the coin, people have literally been shot and killed for having an extra item in their bag that they didn’t pay for.

A vote for not killing their babies is a vote for killing our babies

Call it what it is: terrorist attacks.

No, Al-Shifa was where Israel attacked the ambulance convoy and destroyed the hospital’s solar panels.

You clearly have no clue what you’re talking about. The hospital you’re referring to is Al-Ahli Arab Hospital. And the “rocket” from the footage you’re referring to has been proven to have been an Iron Dome projectile.

Israel has also attacked Al-Shifa hospital, Al-Quds hospital, the Indonesian hospital, the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship hospital, and the Qatari hospital described in the article.

Unfortunately they’ve either learned nothing, or are more than happy to let it happen again - this time with the military. By 2026 or so there’s a very real chance that the military will be full of far right appointees that have no qualms about using nuclear weapons on population centers, carrying out genocides, employing the military against the American people, etc. etc. Just like the judiciary in 2014-2016, the military is full of vacancies waiting for the next far right president to fill overnight as soon as he takes power.

A. The 1.5 million people have not “escaped” or been displaced “from Gaza”, they’ve been forced to move to different places in the Gaza Strip: shelters predominantly. There’s no ingress/egress from Gaza. It’s basically a giant open-air prison.

Israel erected a giant cage around the land boundary of the whole strip in 1993. There’s only 3 exits, all of which are closed: the Rafah crossing into Egypt, the Kerem Shalom crossing at the corner where Israel and Egypt touch, and the Erez crossing into Israel in the north.

Israel enforces a blockade of the shoreline, and a no fly zone. They destroyed Gaza’s airport in 2001.

B. “More than half” is doing some pretty heavy lifting. 1.5 million is closer to 75%.

C. 10,022 / 2,048,000 = 0.489355%. Since the post yesterday, Israel has killed another 283 people which brings it up to 10,305 / 2,048,000 = 0.503%.

Wait until you see what files the IDF has

And said afterwards that they did it because they claimed there were “terrorists” in the hospital, before backtracking and deleting the tweets

Agreed. That’s why Israel shouldn’t be surprised that Hamas retaliated a couple of weeks ago after years of Israel’s large-scale killing sprees.

Israel was eerily silent, when they usually report mistakes like the UN official dying in their strikes quite quickly.

They weren’t eerily silent at all. There were Israeli military spokespeople bragging about it on X until they started seeing the backlash and deleted the tweets.

IDF journalist Hananya Naftali: “BREAKING: Israeli Air Force struck a Hamas terrorist base inside a hospital in Gaza. A multiple number of terrorists are dead.”

How many dead Palestinian children per person is it?

This is a pretty optimistic view. Inflation is (mostly) a one way street. The rate at which prices are rising might have slowed down, but the prices themselves aren’t going to go back down. That damage is already done. Come next year, I don’t think people are going to be thinking “I’m paying an extra dollar for a big mac than I was 4 years ago, but at least it didn’t go up another dollar this year too”

Gun manufacturers have special protection, specific legislation at the federal level singling them out to not be liable.

The top 10% of Americans own 70% of the country’s wealth.

Have you ever stopped to consider the logical conclusions of that? If they lived at the same standard as the average American, we would only need to use 30% of the resources we’re currently burning through. It’s grossly inefficient. We waste more than 2/3rds of our resources so that rich assholes can live in $100 million mansions and fly around on private jets.

Say you’re an American working a 9 to 5 job. Once you hit 1 pm on Tuesday, you’ve done enough work for the week to meet all the actual needs for society. The rest of Tuesday, all of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are all just to pay for rich assholes to take a “hunting” trip to Africa and needlessly slaughter native wildlife. Or to buy the 400th car in their special collections that they’ve nearly forgotten about. Etc. Etc.

70% of the irreplaceble oil being drilled? Flushed down the drain just so that rich assholes can horde wealth. 70% of the pollution in the air? Put there so that billionaires can have parties on a private island. So that they can fly their private jets to private retreats and pretend to be outdoorspeople for a weekend. 70% of the new extreme weather being caused by anthropogenic climate change? All so that rich assholes can do things like jet around the world so they can say they’ve played a round of golf on 7 different continents in 7 days. Etc. Etc.

It’s nowhere near sustainable.

When I heard about the change to block unregistered users from even reading tweets, I wondered if it affected embeds too.

One of the few good things to come out of this mess if it stops news sites from writing articles that are little more than 6 tweet embeds back to back.
