Four people killed after starving Palestinians burst into UN food warehouse in Gaza

Hmm… who was killed? Oh… it was four Palestinians.

Why did they have to “burst” into a warehouse? Oh… the doors were closed and people with guns where trying to keep the Palestinians from being able to get something to eat as they are being intentionally starved by the Israeli government.

“Hordes of hungry people broke into WFP’s al-Ghafari warehouse…"

Hordes of Palestininans being intentionally starved

“Humanitarian needs have spiralled out of control after 80 days of complete blockade of all food assistance and other aid into Gaza,” the statement said. “Gaza needs an immediate scale-up of food assistance. This is the only way to reassure people that they will not starve.”

Incorrect, more food aid being sent isn’t going to be able to get through the Israeli state’s ability to restrict the flow for the purpses of genociding the Palestinians.

If nobody has money to buy land and build a house, doesn’t this just mean well capitalized entities like Blackrock will just be able to put twice as many rental properties on a lot?

Don’t revise my revisionism.

1. Its incredibly good.

2. A chunk of the episodes in the two seasons are practically dead air.

I’m still flip flopping on whether the slow pacing of some of the episodes was intentional (whether to try to build suspense or to hammer home a Lenin attributed quote about “decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen”) or some wonkyness with trying to figure out the proper ‘fit’ of story and dialogue in an episode.

Nicole Brown, a police officer in Orange County, Calif., told her bosses in 2022 that she could no longer perform her duties after she sustained a head injury on the job.

But according to prosecutors, whatever had happened to her didn’t prevent her from running in road races, skiing or snowboarding, and dancing at a music festival while she illegally collected more than $600,000 in workers’ compensation.

Least bad cop.

Her stepfather, Peter Gregory Schuman, 57, of Buena Park, Calif., was charged with two felonies charging him with conspiring with Ms. Brown. He is a lawyer who specializes in defending employers and insurance companies against workers’ compensation claims.

That’s hilarious.

If you live long enough and interact with the world at large, you will eventually be a victim. You might have avoided 99 other scams or situations where somebody was trying to manipulate you but eventually, you’ll fall “victim” to something.

Having a duty to try to keep yourself from being taken advantage of, doesn’t mean that you should be denied help when you finally do get taken advantage of and that help be given without judgment.

I answer your question with a question:

Would it matter if Trump really became a dictator?

Finite number of users, you’ll run out eventually?

Losing power, that will definitely do it.

…‘There is no future in Palestine’

“There is no future in Palestine, for Israel.”

“I was told to bed myself down for three nights and wait for someone to turn up.”

That’s some “Grimm’s Fairytales” level of broken.

Correct.

So… what you’re saying is, during an actual ongoing war, any civilian causalities should be used as a pretext to continue the war that is resulting in civilian causalities?

Makes perfect sense.

All the more reason to move forward with peace talks, right?

The longer shit goes on, the most desperate things get, the more accidental and intention targeting of civilians becomes for both countries.

Yeah.

Pacing of episodes can be pretty slow, though.

Not any one particular reason.

Some folks just want to see others hurt.

Some folks need to place the blame for something on an easy to reach target that can’t fight back. A nameless/faceless corporation or government entity isn’t satisfying as a target but the person on the mobility cart at the grocery store, there’s entire websites/social media pages shitting on them.

Some people are consciously fashy and its just expected that there must be undesirables to be liquidated. Other people are unconsciously fashy and go along with the folks above because its easier to go with the flow than resist.

Some people accept social hierarchies and need groups to put below them on the ranking chart to go, “See! I’m better than [insert group here]!”

That is a wild sentence.

“Forcibly disappeared…”

Hey everybody, I’m right here. Things are fine.

Grooming, friendo, its grooming.

“So, what company is this that you’re citing in your work?”

“Oh, uh, they’re from … Canada. Yeah, Canada, you’ve never heard of them.”

“Okay then, we will get this published right away.”
