Well now it all makes sense, they think making America great is reverting to the mentality of children.

To a certain degree, as they mentioned in the article regarding the casimir effect. While one cannot keep out the quantum foam entirely, it can be restricted to specific wavelengths by altering the volume of the space.

The fear in his eyes becomes palpable as he blames the Democrats for his heart attack with his dying breath, slumping unceremoniously into his Big Mac.

Hamas’ genocidal intentions are not ambiguous. It’s all nicely summed up in this article,

In order to make such a case about Israel, one would have to prove that their intentions are different than what they state, and all evidence indicates that while they may have more tolerance for collateral damage than they had in the past, they still go to great lengths to choose legal targets and minimize civilian casualties, doing things no other nation does to protect civilians. Meanwhile, Hamas obviously and intentionally targets civilians, as displayed on Oct 7.

• Some collateral damage probably occurred on Oct 7, but I fail to see why this is relevant to the discussion. Said deaths could not have occurred without Hamas’ bloody attack on civilians and the chaos it caused.

• I believe the accusations of rape despite criticism of the NY Times article, even the UN, which is often critical and skeptical of Israel, agrees it happened. And even without this specific claim there was enough barbarity, cruelty, kidnapping, abuse, murder, and genocidal violence (Content warning: NSFL, very disturbing footage) on display that day that I don’t think it would move the ethical needle much on Hamas.

• According to international law genocide is:

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

• Killing members of the group;
• Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
• Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
• Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
• Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Emphasis mine. Note that political groups like Hamas are not included among the protected classes, and that’s what Israel has been clear they intend to destroy. Not Palestine/Palestinians, who are protected as a national group just as Israelis are. Meanwhile, Hamas has been clear about their own genocidal intentions. This is why I believe Oct 7 was an act of genocide, as defined above, and Israel’s war on Hamas is not.

• The Oct 7 attack was not just about taking civilian hostages, it was an attempt by Hamas to create a permanent state of war, and part of their strategy to destroy Israel/Jews as established via their original charter and statements from their leader, (citation above.)

• I’m sure it’s terrible to live in Gaza but that does not change the definition of genocide. Nor does your dislike of people who point out inaccurate definitions.

• 1948-1967 isn’t, “100’s of years ago!”

Oh yeah he’s a real piece of shit, loves Jewish terrorists, but he isn’t conducting the war nor does his opinion represent Israel at large.

The Nazis love Palestine because they are anti Jew. (although some Progressives seem pretty antisemitic nowadays too.)

Reactions by the far left on this issue seem to support horseshoe theory

Read the genocide statute linked above, genocide just requires an attempt to destroy a protected group in whole or in part, combined with some specific acts, has nothing to do with effectiveness or number of deaths.

Hamas openly intends to destroy Jews/Israel (which, as national, ethnic, and religious groups are protected) as per their charter. Israel claims they are attempting to destroy Hamas, which is not a protected group.

Call it a massacre, call it terrible, call it any number of negative terms, but it’s not genocide.

Hard to tell which side you’re referring to, Oct 7 was an act of genocide and Jordanian forces fighting on behalf of Palestinians committed genocide against Jews in Jerusalem, but Israel gets accused of it, I believe inaccurately, a lot.

I’m on kbin, not lemmy.

This guy runs Euro Med Monitor:

Abdu was the assistant director and Palestine Office Manager for Council for European Palestinian Relations,[19][20] an organisation described by The Independent as “a Belgian non-profit organisation that lobbies on behalf of the Hamas-led Gaza Government.”[21] He was on the board of trustees of the International platform of NGOs working for Palestine.

Congratulations, you’re spreading Hamas propaganda. There’s a reason this story isn’t being run anywhere credible.

Then why are you spreading Putler propaganda?
“Putin, notice me Sempai!”

What on earth does this have to do with the patriot act?

The New York times is highly credentialed and has more pulitzers than any other newspaper.
Sure, sometimes they don’t get it right, but that doesn’t mean they’re not a damn good source for journalism.

It seems like the US government is predicting that the rise of AI will become a national security issue. They’re right.
