It works well for casual conversation. But if you're trying to have a technical conversation it will fail on uncommon or custom words or phrases.

They also stopped teaching typing in schools. My younger family members never had an computer class or a typing class.

It's been confirmed multiple times from multiple sources that Gaza's largest hospitals are connected to Hamas' tunnel network. The UNWRA, various doctor groups and various media outlets had reported it prior to this most recent conflict.

For someone moderately or more paying attention there should have been no reason to doubt those claims from the IDF; not just because they cane with nominally verifiable audio and video evidence. But also because Hamas has never refuted claims about its use of its tunnel network in and around hospitals, schools and other civilian infrastructure.

You're an ignorant person man. Your mistaking a war with a genocide. Hamas can end the conflict tomorrow by surrendering. A conflict they started by murdering, enslaving and raping undeniably innocent people.

If Hamas surrenders and the bombs keep falling nobody will be yelling genocide more than I. But equating incompetence on the part of Hamas's defense strategy and stubbornness on it's war goals with a genocide. Hamas' blind and overconfident aggression is the cause of theses deaths in Gaza. Being blind to that doesn't make you moral.

Did you know there are Jewish palastinians?

About 50% of Israeli Jews are descendants Arabs, Persians and North Africans who were forcibly relocated to Israel by the leaders of the Arab world or native to the region. Israel is a reservation, agreed to and established by Arabs as part of the agreement between their leaders and European leaders to overthrow the Ottoman Empire.

I've seen videos of Israeli settlers kicking palastinians out of their home at gunpoint saying that the state sold them the house. It's a state doing a genocide.

In the West Bank or the Gaza strip? Because there are no and have been no settlements in the Gaza Strip in a generation.

So again, is it a genocide because you feel like it or because they're Jews?

Ahh so are you one of those "genocide is what I feel it is" folk or one of those "genocide is when the Jews are still alive" sort of folk?

[–] mwguy 0 points 1 year ago (16 children)

There wasn't a "genocide" on Oct 6th.

With their countrymen reportedly dying by the thousands in their behalf. They should surrender en-mass anyway. They've been defeated. Prolonging the war only prolongs the suffering.

What is the source or evidence the hostages were executed?

You asked this question. The article directly answers it. Hamas killed those hostages.

[–] mwguy 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, every so often a news report comes out about individual Hamas members and cells surrendering. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=individual+hamas+members+surrendering+to+IDF

I am interested in additional information, but it’s not relevant to my original assessment.

That means you're not interested in additional information. Did you look at the quote in the Reuter's article?

A "to be decided deal" isn't an offered deal.

Early results from a vote held by opposition parties in Venezuela to choose a unity candidate for the 2024 presidential election show María Corina Machado in a commanding lead.

With just over a quarter of votes counted, Ms Machado had 93%, even though she is currently barred from holding office.

The other nine candidates are trailing far behind the 56-year-old Ms Machado.

A group of UN agencies have called for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza as conditions worsen in the territory.

The World Food Programme (WFP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) were among five agencies who described the situation in Gaza as "catastrophic" in a joint statement.

The UN's plea for a de-escalation of the conflict comes as Israel warns of intensified strikes on Gaza.

JERUSALEM — Twenty trucks carrying medicine, medical supplies and food crossed into Gaza on Saturday morning from Egypt, marking the first humanitarian aid to arrive in the territory since an Israeli bombardment campaign began two weeks ago.

As the trucks made their way through the Rafah border, hundreds of foreign nationals gathered at the Gaza side, hoping to escape the violence that has beset the Palestinian territory. But by the afternoon, it had become clear that no one would be allowed to leave for now.

Republicans are back to square one. It's a game of congressional snakes and ladders, where every space on the board is a serpent.

More than two weeks after a handful of House conservatives ousted Kevin McCarthy from the speaker's chair, the party is still looking for a someone who can successfully reach the top of the board.

No one yet has even come close.

Residents of a neighbourhood in central Gaza say it was completely destroyed by Israeli airstrikes overnight, leaving thousands homeless.

BBC Arabic's Adnan El-Bursh met people who lived there. While he was in the neighbourhood, a warning came from the Israeli army telling people to evacuate.

Palestinian officials say more than 4,000 people have been killed in Gaza.

Israel has suggested that the long-term aim of its military campaign in Gaza is to sever all links with the territory.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that once Hamas had been defeated, Israel would end its "responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip".

Before the conflict, Israel supplied Gaza with most of its energy needs and monitored imports into the territory.

More than 45,000 hens have been slaughtered, burnt and buried in southern Mozambique to prevent the spread of bird flu, officials say.

The birds had been imported from neighbouring South Africa, which has been hit by an outbreak of the disease.

The outbreak has now spread to Mozambique's district of Morrumbene in the southern Inhambane province.

They are still finding bodies in the neighbourhoods near Gaza.

Recovery teams on Wednesday pulled a woman's body from the rubble in Kibbutz Be'eri. She was naked, her feet bound with metal wire.

One of the team said the bodies of more than 20 children had been found nearby, tied together and burned.

Even experienced workers are struggling: deaths like this are enough to break the living.

 

With Israel at war with Hamas, the Senate is moving urgently to fill key U.S. diplomatic posts throughout the Middle East — many of which have been sitting empty for months.

Most glaringly, the U.S. does not currently have an ambassador in Israel. That vacancy hobbles the Biden administration's ability to pursue a number of goals, from negotiating the release of U.S. hostages held by Hamas to easing the violence and preventing it from blossoming into a wider conflict.

It is "unprecedented" to have so many U.S. ambassador posts sit vacant for as long as they have this year, Farah Pandith, an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, told NPR. ...

About 20 trucks carrying much-needed aid may be allowed to enter Gaza in the coming days - bringing some relief to its 2.2 million residents.

Israel cut electricity, most water and stopped food and medicine deliveries there following an attack by Hamas militants on 7 October.

A deal allowing some supplies through Egypt's Rafah crossing has now been struck by the US and Egypt. ...
