CAVOK,

Not sure how many nuns go to this school, don’t they kind if have their own schooling? Isn’t that their thing?

CAVOK,

“Syltrygg!”

CAVOK,

OpenStreetmap as an alternative to the closed source maps.

OrganicMaps or OsmAnd to navigate and StreetComplete or EveryDoor to improve it.

CAVOK,

Typical no win situation. Can’t pick a side without being criticised, can’t not pick a side for the same reason.

Only thing that both the Israeli government and Hamas can agree on is that the Palestinian people is expendable.

CAVOK,

Hamas attacked Israel, counting on the response being disproportionate and bloody. They wanted dead Palestinians and the Israeli government complied.

Hamas aren’t the good guys here. Neither is the Israeli government, just to be clear.

CAVOK,

Russia wasn’t kicked out for invading Ukraine, just to be clear. Russia was kicked out because they no longer have a free press, which is a requirement for participation.

You can call it a pretense if you want, but that’s the official reason, not the war.

CAVOK,

Place 101 on the press freedom index. Just below Madagascar. “Problematic” is the grade, so yes, but not without issues?

CAVOK,

Do you think that Hamas are so inept that they didn’t know what was going to happen after Oct 7? No, they knew, and counted on it to get support and to wreck any goodwill Israel had with their neighbours and the world.

Don’t take me writing this as support for Israel. I hate their right wing fascist government as much as I hate the terrorists in Hamas.

There are no good guys in this, and both are fine with the killing of innocent civilians.

CAVOK, (edited )

I’d say the scale of civilian death achieved through the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure is so extreme, it could not have been foreseen. It is a vastly disproportionate response.

Agreed that it’s disproportionate. Somewhat conflicted on the “deliberate targeting” as I think it’s more of a “don’t care as long as we also hit something that might be Hamas”. Still certain that Hamas knew what would happen and already had a plan to use it for propaganda purposes.

This is just wrong. The western powers have unwaveringly supported Israel from the beginning. Only just recently has the US decided to perhaps reduce the weapon shipments to Israel, after vast destruction and loss of life has already occurred.

Israel already have all the weapons they need to flatten Gaza completely. Hamas tactics are kind of working though. Although most western governments support Israel, this is causing internal issues (protests etc) in those countries, which weakens those governments, which will translate to less support for Israel. I suspect it won’t do much in the short term, except perhaps strengthen the resolve of the Israeli government, which will only translate into more suffering for the Palestinian people.

The only people who can stop this suffering is the Israeli and Palestinian people, which they were trying to do before all this kicked off, and likely one of the reasons why one of the most pro-Palestine kibbutzes (Be’eri?) was hit so hard. Both Hamas and the Israeli government gain from this conflict, sickening as it is.
