Lol who said anything about specific garments? We just wear our clothes wrinkled and no one cares. My linen shirts looked wrecked for an hour or so and then the wrinkles fall out, for instance.

Great price for sure. I am trying to wait until later this year for clarity on the guy that is supposedly making MiSTER clones in portable styles. It doesn’t sound like vaporware but it might be.

Taki Udon is the handle. News about it in this article: retrorgb.com/mister-fpga-news-handheld-mister-sys…

Hasn’t changed US foreign policy for decades, so yeah probably not. From arming to giving Israel protection in the UN, the US is all in on Palestinian genocide. The US does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC because the court could be used for “political reasons”. This goes back to the creation of the ICC, which the Clinton admin helped to form but then vote against. Israel, Russia, Israel, China, Libya, and Qatar are the only countries who do not recognize the jurisdiction of the court. There is a through line on why they don’t: it is because of what they have already done and continue to do that would levy charges at the court. In fact the US has the American Service Members Protection Act to make cooperation with the court next to impossible.

TL:DR; the US has been complicit in Palestinian genocide since Eisenhower.

Yeah, I am all for criticizing capitalism but ffs that’s not the problem here. It is not as if the US is the only place that puberty blockers are used. Other industrialized countries with universal healthcare do as well. The issue is transphobia, clear and simple.

Hamas launches rocket attack towards Tel Aviv area (www.bbc.com)

Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.

People without a state fighting for their right to be a state shoots rockets at country that they are at war with.

Kiev shoots rockets into Russia and everyone gets it.

I’m anti-war as much as the next person but I can understand that a besieged people will act like they are under seige.

You’re living in fantasy land. Israel is wiping Palestinians off the planet, actions > words. Israel is guilty of Hamas and Israels actions according to your own logic.

There is absolutely equivalence, both are besieged and their actions are understandable at the state level. Fight back to your oppressors.

apfelwoiSchoppen,

I did not say that and wouldn’t. Israel created the conditions for Hamas to come to power.

Eh, internet points are not real. Much of the conversation devolves into purity of tactics for a people who attack their subjugators. Decades of subjugation and genocide are irrelevant but we will overanalyze the actions of the oppressed as society always does.

Pentagon says none of the aid unloaded from US pier off coast of Gaza has been delivered to broader Palestinian population (www.cnn.com)

None of the aid that has been unloaded from the temporary pier the US constructed off the coast of Gaza has been delivered to the broader Palestinian population, as the US works with the UN and Israel to identify safe delivery routes inside the enclave, the Pentagon said on Tuesday....

They seek Palestinian annihilation. Two state solution? If they ever cared about that it was only superficial.

I agree, as long as we agree on definitions for non-violence and violence. Conflict and violence are ongoing for so many. Violence is divestment in certain neighborhoods, policing, food apartheid, lack of safe water, lack of schools, lack of healthcare, increased job precarity, lack of infrastructure and public transit. There is a lot of violence but perhaps you don’t agree on the violence that is already here and resolutely ignored by those in power.

UN CPPCG Genocide Article 2 defines genocide as:

… any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:

Definition C:

Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.

Meanwhile Biden is really hand wringing about this as he readies yet another 1 billion dollar military package for Israel.

Recognition, restoration, reparation.

Nailed it. Had best friends and exes that are like this. Took some therapy to realize the abuse that I endured and internalized. Still work on avoiding these types of relationships, they are gravitational.

His politics have shifted of late.

He has defended Boris Johnson when he made an islamophobic dog whistle joke about Muslim women wearing burqas.

He values speech over protecting people. He complains about cancel culture running amok. The subject has some nuance but when defending comedians saying “its just a joke”, its really really shitty. Cancelling famous people for doing and saying racist and misogynist shit is at the root these claims.

Hamas official says group would lay down its arms if an independent Palestinian state is established (apnews.com)

A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

apfelwoiSchoppen,

Hamas is the elected head of a stateless people who’s land was stolen by Europeans. You label them terrorists, I label them as justified warriors for the land and genocide to which they have been subjugated.

This isn’t a both sides argument, as western media tries again and again to frame every fucking story. This is the oppressed fighting back.

Terrorist labels aren’t used for armed forces protecting settlers as they rampage Palestinian villages. Terrorist labels aren’t used as hospitals are leveled. Terrorist labels aren’t used when they drop leaflets to tell civilians to move to a place to avoid getting shelled and then SHELLING that place. Terrorist labels aren’t used when a large percentage of children of a whole People grow up without parents because of mass murder. Terrorism isnt used for the decades of genocide. Decades.

Terrorist labels get used when those children become adults and respond how most of us would respond to the conditions of the open air prison in which they reside and will likely die early. Why on earth would you expect them to be peaceful?

Baffles me how so many liberal defenders of Biden say that his administration can’t do anything to stop another country from committing genocide. Except at every turn, his administration aids in or is complicit with the genocide.

Israel and the US act outside the bounds of international law all the time but scream when others with less overt power do the very same. Classic projection.

Leaked NYT Gaza Memo Tells Journalists to Avoid Words “Genocide,” “Ethnic Cleansing,” and “Occupied Territory” (theintercept.com)

The New York Times instructed journalists covering Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip to restrict the use of the terms “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” and to “avoid” using the phrase “occupied territory” when describing Palestinian land, according to a copy of an internal memo obtained by The Intercept....

100% true, but it is more accurate to call it Team US State Department. It’s essentially the mouthpiece for US foreign interference to manufacture consent of the populace.

Edit: sorry I didn’t read the responses, people have already said this.

Wut. This is journalism doing its job. Police are pretty bad at their jobs, prosecutors included. They often can’t be bothered to seek charges. So when someone else did after some quality journalism, that proved there was enough evidence to indict. Just because they botched the criminal case does not mean he didn’t do it.

Fair, and much respect. There is an aspect of centrist-right to far-right western culture that consolidates all Arabs into one group with intent to demonize. It is fairly common.
