Thanks. That was interesting.

AFAIK, from reading, up until now, there was a more nuanced attack plan with specific conditions to be met before setting these devices off to maximize the effect of their main battle plan. It appears that they realized their adversaries were getting wind of something afoot, so they possibly cut their losses and went for what damage they could inflict instead. That's why I called it a 'common garden terrorist attack' earlier. The intended military objective was not achieved, it appears.

There are up to 10 000 Iranian Jews living in Iran. Tehran has 25 functioning synagogues. Jews in Gaza is difficult to answer, since there are illegal settlers there, but antizionist Jewish groups , like Naturei Karta, cordially associated with Hamas prior to Oct 7th. Moderate Muslims and Jews are not fundamentally or philosophically opposed to each other, but Zionists are with both the others. Zionists, in fact, regard antizionist Jews as traitors. The Nakba of 1948 is within living memory... and is on-going. Zionists are claiming territorial rights that they lost in 135AD to the Romans...your lot.... 1800+ years ago. You Italians have got a lot to answer for. 😛 As Oliver Hardy said to Stan Laurel: "Look what a fine mess you've got us into!"

OK, all I'll say is you've drunk well on the Zionist Kool-Aid. Antizionist Jews and Muslims get on just fine. Zionism is the problem, not Judaism. I have devout Jewish and Muslim facebook friends that I share posts with every day. Lovely people. There is no religious disharmony between moderate Jews and Muslims. They are, after all, including Christianity, worshipping the same God and revering the same prophets, bar one. The disharmony is purely of Zionist construction and lies to support their maximalist political land grabbing aims in the Middle East. Hamas, Hezbollah and the people of Gaza an West Bank are one united entity. The concentration camp-like conditions of Gaza and West Bank leave the armed resistance with no choice but to blend in with their families and neighbours, with the concomitant tragedies that they have to endure between them. They don't have the luxury of being able to fight their cause away from civilian centres, like the Zionists do. They do what they can with the negligible resources that they have. Zionists are dropping TWO THOUSAND POUND BOMBS on tents. FFS. How many images like this, not hearsay, can you produce of Hamas-held hostages? I've got dozens, and more, on my hard drive like this. The sad reality for the Israeli hostages is that Netanyahu et al have sacrificed them as part of their 'Hannibal Directive' i.e. they are expendable.

I don't conflate Jews with Zionists. Zionists are a political grouping. It is not fair to lump Torah-respecting Jews that follow the true diasporic spirit of their faith and sense of global community with people who act like they are the New Aryans with an inalienable right to land they hadn't governed since 135AD.

It's people like you that remind me that American foreign policy and independently-thinking Americans aren't the same. I feel the same way, as an English man, with my government. They are the co-architects and willing stooges of the Israeli debacle that perpetuates the instability in the Middle East.

I don't have the 'Founding Fathers' mentality, where invaders are pioneers struggling for "independence".

I was thinking with modern computerized systems doing the calcs the error rate is probably cut down a fair bit now.

Yes, I'm surprised they haven't been out causing mayhem by now.

Yes, they are very graceful and torpedo-like. I like that image because you can see it directly against a human for scale to make you feel really humble. I think of them as the cows of the sea.

It's fortunate for the Palestinian cause that its effectiveness was reduced. I'm just wondering when the suicide bombers will be unleashed.

I think it's a Blue Whale if irrc. I pulled it off my FB feed.

I wonder what the hit rate is of autonomous guns in that situation.

That basically looks like an act of common garden terrorism on innocent people. Foot shot, I think in the overall propaganda war.

True.

It's a national disgrace! The would-be assassin stood around for 12 hours on the off-chance that Trump would be around and this visit was not noted on his public schedule. Pull the other one.

Zionists and their New Aryan Army don't give a shit.

Trump staff and more rational supporters are having an increasingly hard time "sane washing" his words to the public. They can't keep him on-message. He thinks he's a divine Roman Emperor-God.

Yep, panting and frantically trying to swat that pesky mosquito just excites them more.

I know. It's a cumulative effect of all the historical gerrymandering, I think isn't it?

... and mind the shih tzu. On coming up in the news, I looked at Swift's Instagram page 54 minutes after she posted her polling intent, after the debate. She had over 3 million likes in that short time. Politicians could only drool at that kind of pulling power and eyeballs. It's a good job she's a publicly nice person.

His narcissism certainly shined. He's like one of those old teddies or dolls with the pull cord on the back with a few sentences embedded in it. Everything he says is finished with the best or worst <action> "... in the history of our country". It was a chalk and cheese difference in content and presentation.

APOε1 is only hypothetical from what I Googled. Although it hasn't been found, they appear to have surmised a likely structure for it and that's perhaps why it is labelled first, because it would be first in the series for a sequence of molecular structures, or some other property.
