I'm guessing she got the job because Hasbro approved of those plans for profitability, though. It all seemed standard corporate affair. Hopefully they learned from their mistake, but I think this means they'll just find a CEO to squeeze money out of pumping bad video games or some shit. Companies always learn the wrong lessons from their success.

In fact, they already learned the OGL lesson before, so it's dumb they had to learn it again. They'll probably have to repeat another one of these lessons in 10 years or so. Hopefully until then, the company is slightly better, but we'll see who steps up.

I know what Isengard is but I think I'm missing a reference or pun.

JustZ is right in this case, and I always disagree with them lol. They want Israel to stop doing genocidal actions, so inciting genocide, blocking humanitarian aid, the most genocide-like of the collective punishment stuff. But they didn't go as far as to call for a ceasefire or anything like that. They went farther than the Zionists who were calling it a victory, but that doesn't mean they went as far as some people on the left think they did.

They always answer the same. It had Hamas in it. Or under it. Behind every dead child and woman is a member of Hamas. All 26,000 of them.

No it's because the people who live there know what happens when they leave: they won't be able to come back. Palestinians are still trying to get the right return for the 700,000 that were kicked out of their homes during the nakba.The people there have living memory of these horrible events. Same thing happened with the Native Americans and the Trail of Tears. It's one of the stages of ethnic cleansing. Now over a million Palestinians are displaced without food or water or shelter and they're sick been a sick and an Egypt not letting them in.

And for some reason you blame Hamas rather than the people doing the actual bombing, which boggles the mind. Why don't you blame the people blockading the Palestinians for decades? The one restricting their calories, disturbing their sleep with drones, taking their homes in the West Bank, arresting them without trial or charge, cutting off their electricity or trash, preventing them from accessing water or oil, restricting the roads they can drive out cost systems they can use, telling them to go one way then bombing those same escape routes? How is all that not the fault of the Israel, the ones actually doing those actions? The ones motivating the armed struggle through continual oppression, apartheid, and war crimes?

It does when the person who owns the street corner says that this street corner is for drug dealers. Israel has said out loud they want everything in Palestine, that the Palestinians are a problem and it would be easier if they reduced them from millions to a couple thousand, that they're animals, etc. It's all genocidal language. You don't have to guess.

Not to mention Israel is using that same exact logic to ethnically cleanse Gaza, by pretending that every Palestinian is Hamas (despite greater than 50% deaths being women and children).

And it's not one bad shooting, or even a couple hundred war crimes. It's countless, or maybe one huge war crime. They're targeting all civilian infrastructure and have been since it's started, and justify it by saying Hamas is using all of it. Plus there's what's been happening in the West Bank forever. Millions of Gazans have been displaced already with no food or water and only the clothed and supplies they can carry. Journalists are getting shot every day.

Hamas is not doing some organized campaign of extermination. You just have to look at the numbers to see that. Hamas is a religious terrorist group that's arisen as a symptom of the need for armed resistance because Palestine has been getting screwed and lost all their nearby allies who could help after the Oslo Accords, and strengthened by Israel because they needed an enemy scapegoat to justify taking everything and denying a Palestinian state. They're a ragtag group shooting unguided improvised rockets over that fall on their own houses some of the time and fizzle and do nothing most of the rest of the time. If you want to look at organized extermination, look at the block by block bombing and displacement done by the IDF. Look at the side with the military vs the side with civilians trying to smuggle guns and hide in tunnels.

It's the same as the Native American raids, slave revolts, or the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Hundreds of people are dying every week. There's no food, water, or power. Israel is an apartheid regime. They bomb hospitals, refugee camps, and humanitarian corridors "for ecsape".

Never again, means never again. Not just never again for white people.

Warning: The actual shooting isn't too graphic because they're kinda far when it happens but it's still tough to watch.

The imagery is palpable, poetic in a sad way. The white flag they were using to show surrender turns red as they use it to staunch his wound.

Wtf are you talking about? This guy was trying to get his mother and brother out and evacuated and then was shot holding a white flag. Please point out the Hamas in the video using anyone as a human shield.

It's this thinking that causes this Nazi shit to happen.

Except the people saying it are the ones in charge so...

Zionists does not equal Jews. There are plenty of Jews who aren't Zionists and lots of Zionists who aren't Jewish.
