And hamas is not palestine. Any war crime committed by hamas doesnt justify the slaughter of random civilians living in the region, which is the criticism israel is getting from the entire planet.

Your fears are unfounded, and your quickness to jump to them is unsettling.

The US and UK rely on israel playing nice in order to maintain a base and foothold in the region.

If israel did or does anything that actually threatened either nation, the soft hand would firm up quickly. But to these leaders, the genocide of brown people is little more than a minor PR problem. Not an actually threatening problem for their countries. So they see no reason to risk their foothold.

That we allow religion to hold such massive sway is such a point of shame for our species, and out countries.

Thats a little bit got me hesitant to trust this.

All this guy does is think about war and war threats. Does that make him good at reading the room about war tensions? Probably. Does it also mean he is hypervigilant and overanalyzing every single thing and at risk of reading intent and threat into things where it isnt? Also probably.

Countries are always war tense somewhere, because someone is always pissing in someone elses pool. It doesnt always lead to war, especially when no one actually wants a war.

He had some weird medical issue that some people guess is cancer. But it just as easily could have been overly cautious covid protections for all the info that gets made public

The other problem is that its literally not sustainable. Killing all of your working age citizens in a long drawn out war will end your nation if you lose, and will still cripple you if you win but take a while.

If they keep this death toll up much longer, russia wont have the feet to stand on its own.

Who alleged that the one brother is a hezbollah member?

Cause if its israel, thats probably just another lie to justify the killing.

If australia alleged that, tho, it makes me wonder why he still had citizenship if they flagged him as a terrorist. Dont lots of countries revoke citizenship from people who are members of terror groups?

Policy wasnt based on any holy land, policy was based on israel being a very convenient regional ally for military use.

Its only recently that idiots who buy the religion excuse weaseled into office.

The turn coat nature of the US response to gaza shows that US politicians cannot be trusted when they say they believe in or support human rights.

Its crushing to see that saving ukraine from invasion was only for quick political gain, and that a nation who will not shut the fuck up about moral superiority lacks the spine or nuts to save lives when its even passingly inconvenient.

This is my issue.

Its a fantasy world. Dont copy paste non magic human solutions to disability. Create fantasy ones.

Enchanted pants that give you mild telekenesis while wearing them, but only on the pants. You can walk with your mind now, but you need the pants to do so.

Youre still disabled, but now your disability is more akin to glasses. An aide that is required, but in most cases completely masks your disability and lets you go about your day to day mostly unhindered, all while maintaining the worlds flavor without the weird clash of having a piece of tech that doesnt match the world around it.

Dont want your disability fully masked? Give them a familiar to ride. Or keep the telekenesis, but make it a chair whose legs can walk.

Its fantasy so we can ignore reality for a lil while. You dont need real solutions to problems, you need fantasy solutions.
