Yeah, people keep throwing the Lebanon attacks in the “Gaza Genocide” pile without thinking of implications of the differences in tactics and precision.
Israel could have made a measured, targeted response to the Hamas attack. They looked at their spies, assassins, intelligence, stealth drones, and booby trapped pagers, and put them aside in favor of tens of thousands of bombs.
They chose genocide.
There is a difference between the actions in Gaza and the actions in Lebanon.
Yes, and when we bombed Germany in WW2 we killed hundreds of children. War is bad. Terrorism is bad. But they are different things.
I mean you are fundamentally making an argument against war. Which I agree with. When waging war someone innocent is always going to get caught in the crossfire, which is one of the many reasons war is bad.
But to call all acts of war terrorism, and all terrorism an act of war, is to pretend words don’t have meanings.
If the beepers and radios were targeted at Hezbollah militia members, then it isn’t terrorism.
If the equipment was sold in regular retail channels meant for the general Lebanese population, then it is terrorism.
We don’t know enough to make that call 100%, but early analysis is strongly suggesting it was targeted.
To call it terrorism at this point is flippant and unsupported, and draws attention away from and fails to highlight their larger crime of genocide.
This flippant accusation misses the grander issue.
If Israel is capable of precisely targeting enemy military like this, then why are there 35k dead in Gaza?
You bring up thought crime but forget that the entire point of newspeak is to reduce the ability to think at all.
Most people can’t own their consumption patterns while under the constant barrage of mental reprogramming that is advertising.
Think Different™ (Because we deprecated the service you liked and depended on because an internal team was jockeying for a higher position and rewrote what you loved but worse, so actually you are thinking different every year!)
Corruption. The common trope is that vultures feasted on the corpse of the Soviet Union.
Is there a reason for bind mounting and not just configuring the db to point at a different path?
Not saying the story isn’t true, but this website seems biased towards China.
I agree with your tautology, and it is an interesting point. I also agree with building communities.
I also agree with the fact that punching Nazis is ineffective.
I think the allies in WW2 brought other things to bear to solve that problem.
Conservatives think project 2025 is the latest silly liberal conspiracy from sad people who have “Trump Derangement Syndrome”.
Exactly.
If I looked into those organizations, I would bet they were probably at the point of talking reasonable concessions, and probably resembled a proper government, albeit radical or militant.
Hamas is not at that point.
The mods of the non-political subs need to move elsewhere, eventually after that the content will just be tankie bullshit and everyone can just defederate them.
My favorite part of China saying Taiwan isn’t a country is where we say we agree but still sell Taiwan hundreds of fighter jets and missiles.

Calling this holocaust-denying Mohammed-cartoonist-hating fuckwit a moderating force is hilarious.
