So marijuana users get to get same treatment as alcohol users… Possibly both kinds of people should be able to prove they are responsible consumers, somehow, before getting their permits.
I’ve been seeing a few of this type of post, so I decided to share mine. Now, you might be wondering “why the heck is this guy posting his steam playtime chart in a Linux gaming community, when most of it is windows?”...
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…
Is there a single Israeli exchanged, who was convicted in breaking Palestinian laws, which would lead to their detainment by Hamas, ruling body of Gaza strip?
Ehm, civil-non-violent, eh? One of the released women is Amani Hashim (sp?) 37 y.o. from the West Bank who used her car to ram an Israeli soldier on a check point, seriously injuring him, and then waved a knife on others, while shouting religious slogans… Got convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
I can imagine what would have happened, if that checkpoint wouldn’t be there…
I wonder, are you aware of the existence of black Jews? Also a lot of the Israelis today are descendants of people exiled from Middle East countries after 1948.
Trying to paint this conflict as typical racial or colonialism issue is ignoring all the context of what has been going on in that region in last 120 years at least.
Likud lawmaker Eliyahu Revivo protested that Irish Ambassador Sonya McGuinness did not come to the Knesset discussion on Hamas’ crimes against women, even though she was invited “The Irish ambassador got lost. Someone will inform us when he finds her,” he scolded - referring to the outrageous statement of Irish Prime Minister Leo Vardakar

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

Strange that these articles don’t mention that almost no hostages are released “as-is” - for each Israeli hostage, 3 convicted prisoners (women and under 19y.o. “children”) had to be released by Israel.
Their crimes include shooting and stabbing attacks, car rammings, and at least one case of explosive-car-rigging…
The only exception are 12-16 Thai and Philippinian foreign nationals, which were actually released after being held hostage illegally for almost 50 days.
My laptop keyboard died a few days ago, which was fine I guess, it has been a while, but for some reason my membrane USB keyboard is also broken. I don’t know why but Ctrl, Alt, Windows, f5, and f10 don’t work, with Alt and f10 now binded to left click. I’ve tried all the fixes I could find: uninstall keyboard drivers,...
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.
