I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...
Pretty sure nobody cares, but man as a third world country it feels weird as fuck to see these reasonable-looking numbers only to multiply by 50 and get a heart attack.
I mean no, but the people with meteorology degrees are probably not gonna be working a job where the number one requirement is to be hot (and not, y'know, have a meteorology degree).
Nope, they actually appear and disappear. The idea is that even in vacuum there's a certain amount of background energy and that energy can randomly turn into matter-antimatter pairs in what is basically the inverse of matter-antimatter annihilation.
Okay tbf they're both a core democratic constituency and criminally underperforming. Young voters where a major factor in Hillary's failure in 2016 and Biden's success in 2020. And now they'll be a major factor in his failure in 2024.
Man you (either intentionally or unintentionally) underestimate just how much the POTUS can order Israel around. Reagan did it, Bush did it, hell even Biden did it. It's not rocket science.
They've been protesting against him because he violated their security and democracy, not because he's committing genocide. 80% of them (including 88% of Jewish Israelis) are perfectly fine with that part.
Man genocide and forced migration had been the Zionist plan since 1917, and if you let something like a genocide get you behind schedule you won't get any settler colonialism done.
I mean I'm quoting numbers from two weeks ago. I'd love to think that the number of people who support genocide in Israel is less than that, but you can't argue with evidence.
They don't need to say it (mostly because nobody is asking that question). Two questions that were asked is "Is the number of deaths in Gaza justified by the war" and "do you think Israel is using adequate or too little force in Gaza". And apparently 88% of Israeli jews think the answer is yes for the former, and 94% think so for the latter. Similarly, only 27% of Israeli Jews support a two-state solution, while 38% think Israel should annex the West Bank with limited Palestinian rights (admittedly I thought this one would be higher).
I mean true enough but that has nothing to do with preparing for war. To put it simply there's a reason, say, Japan has an army despite their constitution denouncing war.
True enough but let's not forget that there's a reason Netanyahu is called the king of Israeli politics. His policies represent a majority of Israel's voting popuation.
And because he's been Israel's PM for about half the past 30 years. What I want to say is: Enough people like him that he keeps getting reelected, and even now people aren't objecting to his policies but rather because he wants to sidestep democracy. I mean good thing they're trying to defend "democracy" (it's debatable how much an Apartheid state where 5 million people don't have voting rights can call itself a democracy but that aside) but the fact that words like "war crime" or "genocide" don't appear even once in this article (except when talking about October 7th) is very damning.
in the last election 70% of eligible voters voted, 23% voted for the likud (bibi).
I'm not talking about Likud alone; I'm talking about the right wing in general since they all seem to agree that they should steal Palestinian land for Lebensraum. Also I was specifically talking about his policies relating to Palestine, not as a whole.
Anyway I haven't seen any evidence that there's significant Israeli opposition against the genocide in Palestine, especially given that the Israeli right wing is actually growing.
The United States, Japan, Australia and the Philippines will hold their first joint naval exercises, including anti-submarine warfare training, in a show of force Sunday in the South China Sea where Beijing’s aggressive actions to assert its territorial claims have caused alarm....
As an Egyptian, you're overthinking it. Almost all Arabs have a very similar image of Israel because we've seen firsthand (or secondhand from Palestinians) how ridiculously horrible Israel is.
Most people who were keeping up with the conflict knew this would happen. Glad to see more people waking up, but the current state of Gaza isn't in any way surprising.
Their purpose in Gaza is to terrorize the civilian population.
Alright, but do you see this playing out positively for them longer term?
Israel hasn't been thinking of the longer term at least ever since Palestinians got internet access. That was the beginning of the end for their control over Western public opinion, (edit) and you'd have expected them to learn but nope.
Also I think there are probably going to be bad consequences internally assuming a non-insignificant part of the Israelis come to terms with the atrocity committed in their name.
Don't expect too much. To most Jewish Israelis (which are, let's face it, the only ones that matter) Palestinians are subhuman barbarians whose only purpose in life is to be killed for Lebensraum. And their share of the total population is going up, not down. So yeah, don't expect any soul searching in that department.

You either have an ulterior motive or are woefully misinformed. The Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas are all very different groups who have no similarity besides being Islamist.
ran has as its guiding religious and political purpose the genocide of all Jews and Christians in the middle east, same goals as Hamas.
Uh... You do realize Hamas accepted a two-state solution ages ago, and that Gaza actually has Christians, right? I also hope you do realize that the fact that Gazans being stateless makes Israel more of an Apartheid state. Or maybe you'd prefer "settler colonialist state subjecting Palestinians to a brutal occupation"?
Anyway I'll probably regret engaging with this steaming pile of propaganda, but I'll ask: How do you feel about this, this and this?
Hamas actually is an ideology of genocideal violence and indiscriminate killing of civilians and is Iran’s proxy right on the border of America’s ally and the only democracy in the region.
Man almost half the people Israel rules (Gaza and the West Bank are occupied no matter how much Zionists would like to believe otherwise, source: UN) don't have voting (or human for that matter) rights. And we're seeing them crack down on dissent using extrajudicial (or effectively extrajudicial) arrests as we speak. Democracy my ass.
Maybe not every president since as you say that requires a lot of evidence and is likely unprovable, but I firmly believe that the majority would've stopped Israel by now. I mean, hell, even objectively horrible people like George Bush and Regan did it. Hell, even Biden did it in 2021. What I want to say is: Biden letting Israel rampage like this is the exception, not the norm. For evidence, I think the fact that Israel has needed to exercise at least a modicum of restraint and not commit actual genocide until now is enough.
Now maybe all of that is baseless rumors being spread by braindead Biden cheerleaders
Yes. Israel has been obviously breaking international law, using American weapons (including the infamous 2000 pound bombs) for a while now. Many individual Israeli actions have been called warcrimes by various NGOs, up to and including the UN. If he wanted to do anything he'd have done it already. He also wouldn't match bold-faced Israeli propaganda (like the 40 dead babies debacle).
You have no basis for your assertion that Biden is even doing worse than average, so stop trying to act like it’s an established fact.
I do: Biden is one of the few US presidents who hasn't stopped Israel when they did something this out of proportion. Again, this man is doing worse than Reagan and Bush. Do you understand how low the bar he's failing to meet is?
