I do not support Netanyahu or his policies. However, I -DO- support Israel's right to exist and to defend itself.

I also support Palestinians' right to exist and live in peace. I hope they will be freed from Hamas' oppression and brutal dictatorship.

It's a clear sign of the antisemitism at the United Nations that they didn't blast this change out to every major news agency in the world.

"According to data published May 6, of the 34,735 people who have died in Gaza, more than 9,500 were women and more than 14,500 were children. Two days later, the United Nations reduced those figures to 4,959 women and 7,797 children killed while maintaining that the overall number of more than 35,000 deaths in Gaza remains unchanged."

The optics are simple: began moving civilians out of the way in Rafah and suddenly caved on the agreement.

Hopefully they stop trying to kill each other for a while in but the poor are still going to suffer.

Hamas did this. Everyone needs to keep reminding each other of that. This is all Hamas' fault.

Consider me skeptical. This would be contrary to their stated purpose for existence (which is to destroy Israel and kill all Jews everywhere). It would be like saying the fox could move into a corner of the henhouse and everyone else will stop chasing it. To "disarm" does not mean "to disband and give up our goals."

"U.S. Congresswoman Suspected of Having 'Russian Handlers' After Transcarpathia Amendment"

FROM THE ARTICLE: "Political pundit ‘Jay in Kyiv’ responded: 'The amendment that Marjorie Taylor Greene just proposed to sabotage the Ukraine bill is something that is such a nuanced Russian disinfo narrative that it could have only come directly from her Russian handlers.'

'The notion that Hungarians are being persecuted in Ukraine is insane BUT it’s being pushed by both Orban (who was promised a piece of Ukraine by Putin) and Russian disinfo machine. For an American to suggest this really confirms she is being handled.'"

Hamas wants the war in to continue. They know it feeds around the world and builds misguided sympathy for their cause - which is to destroy Israel and kill all Jews everywhere.

Ultimately, all of these deaths are Hamas' responsibility. This is what they wanted to happen.

And they've broken 5 previous "permanent" ceasefires. Anyone who thinks they would honor another one is a damned fool.

All need do to end this war in is release all hostages and lay down their arms.

All anyone on social media need do to show their humanity is to say SOMETHING, ANYTHING about Hamas' culpability for the continued violence.

Complain about methods all you wish - but if you say nothing about Hamas you're no better than the genocidal terrorists who have sworn to kill all Jews everywhere.

don't need more terrorist-supporting friends. They need to be freed from the oppression of the terrorists who, if allowed to go free, will start an even worse war in the future - leading to yet more innocent deaths.

Yes, but the problem is Hamas' intransigence. Don't support it with one-sided condemnation.

There's nothing quite like being deep in thought on a project when the old email alert comes on to tell me that yet another genius expert has updated Wikipedia's PageRank article with a long section of text announcing to the world that they're the greatest thing since sliced bread, and here's a link to their Website.

No matter how quickly I click on the link, by the time I get to the article it's already been reverted by someone else.

I'm seriously tempted, though, to request semi-protected status for that page. It's not like there's a lot of breaking news about PageRank any more.

People keep quoting John's words out of context, giving the wrong impression about the intention of his advice. And, naturally, many people in the SEO community are slamming him over this out-of-context quote.

He was responding to a question about why someone's Ahrefs backlink report didn't show the same links as the Google Search Console report. And John's point was the guy was spending too much time fussing over links.

In fact, he was subtly implying that people shouldn't be using these 3rd-party SEO tools for their own backlink profile analysis. While it's true GSC won't show you everything, no SEO tool can show you what Google knows about or counts.

So focus on the things you can actually do something about.

Gosh - maybe they shouldn't be hijacking the aid trucks that come through and then charging exorbitant prices for the food they've stolen.

Or - BETTER YET - maybe they could just lay down their arms and release all the remaining hostages and END THIS WAR.

I'm looking at my "toxic links" in SEMRUSH and I was told not to bother to disavow these (unless I actually paid for links, which I have not) but there are a lot more than there were.

Almost all of them are either scrapes of my content and/or hotlinking my images though (which cloudflare blocks?).

I hate SEO, so disavow yes/no? Shouldn't matter, but I shouldn't be marked as spam. IDK.

3rd party SEO tools are useless for this kind of analysis. And their ideas of "toxic links" are nonsense.

You should look at what Google Search Console is telling you.

Also, Google's March 2024 update can take up to a month to roll out. It's going to do all sorts of crazy things in that time. Many of them will be reversed without people having to do anything.

Don't disavow links. That will just end up hurting you even more.

"Opinion: Hamas weaponized sexual assault to deliver a message to its enemies"

Opinion by Paul Becker & Joel Poznansky, opinion contributors

From The Hill (via MSN).

"Finally, an important possibility is that, with these additional violations, Hamas planners were simply telegraphing explicit articles of their 1988 Hamas Covenant and Hamas Principles and Policies of May 2017, which express no interest in any negotiated settlement or two-state solution, but only in total victory over Israel or death. The atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists have effectively prevented any way back for either side to a peace negotiation. This certainly is a message that would serve Hamas’s Iranian backers and the mission of Hamas’s political manifesto.

"For Hamas’s own troops and active members, such a tactic serves Sun Tzu’s maxim: 'Throw your forces into positions whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight.' For Hamas terrorists and leaders who actively planned or participated in the Oct. 7 attack — as with Germany’s Einsatzgruppen troops during World War II — their actions have placed them in a legal position where there can be no way back for them individually, no negotiated peace and no surrender.

"In time, and with the various investigations currently underway, it should be possible to determine for certain whether the new Hamas tactics were intentional. It will take longer to fully confirm the purpose behind them, although it is likely that, even now, Hamas leaders are claiming credit for the evil innovation and incorporating this into their terrorist playbook.

"For us in the West to misinterpret the extreme sexual violence, butchery and real-time social media sharing committed by Hamas terrorists as abhorrent but merely unplanned and mindless war crimes committed by individual terrorists, rather than as new tactics adopted by Hamas leaders with an underlying rationale, is to underestimate and misunderstand the enemy. To paraphrase Sun Tzu again, that would be a losing strategy."

Perhaps if all these angry, outraged protesters directed their message to the terrorists still holding 100+ Israeli hostages - and still shooting at both Israel and the Palestinian people of - would stop laughing in their tunnels, give up the hostages, and surrender (thus ending the conflict and giving the people a chance to rebuild).

But perhaps that's too much to ask of people who don't understand what is actually happening in

Netanyahu's policies are inhuman. He is a monster and Israel deserves better leadership.

Nonetheless, yelling at him from cities across the world won't bring an end to the conflict.

Hamas must stand down and release the hostages. Hamas must give up control over the Palestinians of Gaza so they can live in peace.

I don't see enough people asking why all these people who are outraged by Israel's bombing in don't express similar anger toward over its indiscriminate bombing and shelling of Ukrainian civilians.

I don't agree with Netanyahu's policies or strategies. I don't support the indiscriminate killing of civilians, even in a zone like Gaza where has built hundreds of tunnels under homes, schools, and hospitals and intentionally uses the civilian population as human shields to maximize casualties.

Nonetheless, if you're going to be outraged over civilian deaths, I think you should express similar outrage over the intentional deaths in Ukraine (and we might as well mention the intentional deaths of civilians occurring throughout Africa, where Al Qaeda/ISIS-linked militant groups continue to attack villages and small cities).

@localzuk "But for Gaza? What exactly is the West doing? Our leaders are supporting Israel in its campaign instead."

And yet most of the outrage I see is completely silent on , which does not represent the Palestinians (certainly not the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who live in Israel and who support the war against Hamas).

Hamas is the greater problem here. They could end the war in a day by surrendering and releasing the hostages. Instead, they have committed to further attacks against Israel in the future (and they continue to fire rockets toward Israel).

All the anti-Israel outrage is useless because it only does Hamas' bidding (and as others have pointed out, indirectly the bidding of Iran, China, and Russia).

So we need to continue pointing out the hypocrisy of the anti-Israel protests. Until everyone condemns Hamas, most people are supporting and , and I find that unacceptable.

michael_martinez,
@michael_martinez@c.im avatar

@localzuk " actions matter. Outcomes matter."

took action on October 7.

The outcome of Hamas' October 7 action is the war in .

Hamas and only Hamas is responsible for the death and destruction in Gaza. No one else, regardless of how despicable and misguided Netanyahu's policies and strategies may be.

"The deaths of tens of thousands, and injuries of hundred thousand more are bigger issue."

And until you and others like you stop ignoring the problem and point your fingers at Hamas and Iran, the problem will only get worse.

Even if you could stop Israel today, you would only set the stage for a greater war with even more deaths and destruction in the future.

Your blaming the victims only proves that Hamas has easily manipulated you into doing what they want - setting the stage for the next war, which will be worse than this one.

If you really care about Palestinians, you should be condemning Hamas with all your heart and passion. Only Hamas can stop this - or their destruction.

Those calling for are obviously ignoring the fact that doesn't want a real cease fire.

There WAS a cease fire on October 6.

Hamas could end this war immediately by surrending and releasing all remaining hostages.

Hamas is NOT a "resistance". They are not freedom fighters.

They are a blood-thirsty, warmongering organization with only 1 objective: to destroy Israel.

Hamas kills who resist their oppression.

If you don't condemn Hamas and call for their immediate unconditional surrender, not only are you supporting a continued war, you are supporting and

Refusal to place the blame for 's thousands of deaths on Hamas is compliance with Hamas' strategy and support for their war.

"I admit that there are two sides, but what michael is saying is so one-sided it would be funny if it wasn't so serious. "

That is absolute bullshit obviously intended to deflect from what I've actually said so as to present yet another lie into the discussion.

"Considering that, in 1924, only 11% of Palestine's population was Jewish, it is the massive encroachment and rights-denying of generations of people by the Zionist state that has constantly pushed people into a corner where even supporting violent response can be seen as preferable to the Israeli attempts to annihilate the Palestinians ..."

And there you go - lying by selective history.

Israel was founded as a result of the decision by the United Nations to provide a homeland for the Jews. And they used an existing plan that was established PRIOR to the British Mandate by Jews and Muslim Palestinians themselves.

The British mucked up everything with their policy of playing various groups against each other.
