Why is one a "terrorist attack" and the other a "military response"? Why can't it be a military attack or offensive, which it was. You can even argue it was a counteroffensive response to a century-long systematic siege against a native population. Also, not in this post though, but generally, the rather hypocritical notion of calling Hezbollah a proxy for Iran, isn't the IDF a military proxy for western interests?

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. The same with pornographic and erotic. It's who you ask.

Israel is dragging the notion of military conflict into the gutter, and it wants to sit at the table with civilised society?

At the end of the day, we are all people of our era of youth and early adulthood. We absorb and transmit the morality of the period.

With this "brilliant method", that appears to be geopolitically illegal in terms of booby trapping ordinary devices, which is why it hasn't been done en masse before, does it not now change the rules of war?

Very odd. It seems very inauthentic, but you could say 'Trump' and 'inauthentic' are homonyms.

That's true, but future movie stars could be pure AI creations that are composites of many images and modelled behaviour patterns. Something like Al Pacino's 'SimOne', if you've seen that.

The Zionist regime sees no boundaries. Mission creep? Where will it end?

On reflection, they can't stop the wave, but they can redirect it more in their favour with negotiations locking them down in labour law.

The Brits and Americans have a very uptight collective attitude compared to Europeans. The fact that it so much more censored makes it more 'naughty' and, therefore, potentially arousing, ironically. I noticed this a lot in my youth with old European films, where nudity was 'just there' without necessarily any sexual connotations.

Is this not another Luddite-like, ultimately futile protest? It's going the way of film cameras, to use an example from the last 25-30 years?

Yes, you are right, but I meant as a general long term pattern of behaviour.

Turns out it was caused by being punched in the eye.

I can't believe you're a Netanyahu apologist. Him, Smotrich and Ben-Givr are my definition of evil.

Or "Ooh look, my little Johnny is the only one in the parade marching to the beat".

Because you are inclined towards the Israeli arguments, those terms, naturally, will be alien to you, as that isn't how you see them. You are, I'm sure, happy to call Hamas and Palestinians 'terrorists'. POV determines what descriptives one uses.

Here's Afghan Sharbat Gula in 1985 who has notable green eyes. Her stern look is because she was forced to have the picture taken, which is considered bad manners for girls to expose their face to men.

One of my female friends has a green and a blue eye. I'm sure there are more, but I'm only personally aware of her and David Bowie having that feature,

Just filtering for cognitive and emotional competence would be a start without a universal ban.

Yes, how much of this is being prolonged and people dying because Netanyahu is trying to save his own ass? I find it very hard to stomach that people like him and Trump will and do cause national and global mayhem for there own selfish reasons of avoiding accountability for their own chronic criminality.

Apparently, it seems possible to convert csv to png directly. Is that an option? https://search.brave.com/search?q=convert+csv+to+png&source=desktop&summary=1&summary_og=131eda47d88cfd6962b688

A sheriff fatally shot a judge yesterday in his district office during an argument. Think about that; top officers of the law. Because of their ubiquity, imo, there isn't enough 'mental distance' from thinking about it to actually shooting someone. There's no respectful fear for arms in the US, like there is elsewhere.

@joigus ❤️ This problem is like a tangled ball of fishing line, with many ends to start untangling it from. We see the problem and the path to its solutions depending on which end(s) we choose to start from. For me, after reviewing the relevant history of the area back to Romans, it seems sensible to focus from the period when Zionism became a tangible idea. Prior to that, history just pottered along, as it does. That's basically where I'm coming from. This discussion is a microcosm of the different paths we travel to arrive at our conclusions. Only in this arena are we personally diametrically opposed, as I am with others here on other subjects. It is an area of difference, but I don't judge your whole person on it. Whether we like it or not, we inevitably gravitate towards social media echo chambers that support our personal views and seek evidence to that end. True objectivity is pie in the sky.

Yeah, post facto solutions are pretty useless, like lacing bullets with penicillin.
