With Israeli obsession with children and family, it is extremely hard for LGBT, or any other couples to adopt - they have to prove they have the means to raise up these kids - both material and psychological.

How come that whole continent, which is the birthplace of homo sapiens, can’t feed it’s population?

While on the other side it can come to absurd like this:

Hen Mazzig, an ex-IDF soldier

in one case, a professor asked me if I knew how many Palestinians have been raped by IDF forces. I answered that as far as I knew, none. She triumphantly responded that I was right, because, she said, “You IDF soldiers don’t rape Palestinians because Israelis are so racist and disgusted by them that you won’t touch them.”

And in Israeli academy (!)

According to Dr. Gurevitch, This was a very serious paper that asked two important questions: Is the relative lack of IDF rapes a noteworthy phenomenon, and if so, why is it that there are so few IDF rapes when in similar situations around the world, where rape is so much more common? The abstract of the paper, authored by doctoral candidate Nitzan, could not find instances of rapes of Palestinian women by the IDF it sought to find, so it was decided that the paper show that “the lack of organized military rape is an alternate way of realizing [particular] political goals.” It continues, “In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it can be seen that the lack of military rape merely strengthens the ethnic boundaries and clarifies the inter-ethnic differences – just as organized military rape would have done.” Ergo, Nitzan could not find any cases of rape by IDF soldiers of Palestinian women even though Palestinian media constantly accuses Israeli soldiers of this. Apparently distraught over such findings, Nitzan had to twist her thesis to attribute the lack of such rapes to a governmental program instilling in IDF soldiers that the Arab women are sub-human or inferior.

There should be some kind of “accountability score” for politicians, managed by an independent body, that will track all their promises and follow up with whether they, at least tried, to fulfill them. So that voters will be able to refer to it, before they reelect the same do-nothing again and again…

How long until western media will tell that gunmen were under stress of Israel war in Gaza strip?

Adjusted for inflation Palestine had been given 71 billion USD in international aid over the years, so saying “Palestine has been starved of money” is not an understatement but a blatant lie.

If you’d say Palestinian people starved of money I’d probably agree: as their corrupt leaders stole most of those funds, and used the rest to fund and enable terror activities as well as children indoctrination in hatred

This just few weeks after UN puts Iran to chair Human Rights Council Social Forum

Still unbelievable the far left in USA seeing countries like Cuba and North Korea, but believing that socialism/communism can really work for good of the people.

It’s crazy what’s been going on there, is there a regional power nearby that could step in and protect the civilians?

Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan dismissed the latest announcement, saying “the Israelis said there was a command and control center, which means that the matter is greater than just a tunnel.”

Didn’t they have almost a month to clear up the place, and seal off the tunnel entrances, before the first IDF land troops entered the hospital premises?

Let’s see how it’s turned around to be Israel’s fault somehow…

Nice

Videos released by Hamas show ppl in civilian clothing launch Mortars to Israeli territories, so can’t really rely on uniforms.

There were already videos with rocket launchers placed in kindergarten as well as stored ammunition and hand grenades… Let’s see if in several days, a video proof that this specific hospital was used for military purpose too, will pop up.

At least those in Gaza had those “uber-dicks” removed from their faces in 2005, there are news videos that it was very forced, they were given a real chance there, but I know people will start with “open prison” again - while the blockade was clearly the results of terror attacks originating from inside Gaza strip. Mind you, if Hamas and other paramilitary orgs wouldn’t do this shit, they’d loose millions of their yearly budgets from Iran and the likes - and nobody (in positions of power) would have that…

Don’t forget years of indoctrinating kids into hating Jews and blaming them for all their problems, as well as publicly celebrating any time a successful attack against Israel was made, connecting the Jew killings with good things in the psyche…

I guess the only ones the Palestinians in Gaza and West bank could look up to, are Israeli Palestinians, who are currently represent 21% of Israel population, enjoy the same civil rights as Jewish or Druze or Bedouin citizens, work in prestigious institutions like health and judicial system, vote and elect their representatives etc. They could show Gazans and West bank that it’s much better in the long run to work together with Israel, and when the region normalizes - it would be such a boon to local economies.

For trackball fans, this Russian (speaking) DIYer plans to build a custom trackball, it kind of mesmerizing to watch his design process https://youtu.be/qkTo5siugms

With diesel, Hamas can power air circulation vents in their tunnels, as well as water pumps (some people in comments on Lemmy said that the low sea level there may affect the depth of the tunnels).

mostly struck military targets

Technically correct, the worst kind of correct…

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-november-5-2023/ The Kiryat Shmona municipality says the city was targeted in two separate rocket barrages Sunday night with over half of the 13 projectiles fired hitting areas inside the city.

Nope, radical islamists hate US and anything that stands between them and dar-al-islam (world of Islam)…
