They'll downvote you, spout off some nonsense about Israel committing genocide, because any war is apparently genocide now, and then dance away without providing any concrete solution that doesn't involve Israel getting wiped off the map.

Same, except justifying Hamas killing Israeli civilians.
I didn't get a ban, but definitely had a post "disappeared" with no explanation because I had the audacity to mention the extreme anti-Israel bias around here.
Here's a good article: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/18/1206795861/heres-the-available-evidence-of-what-happened-at-al-ahli-arab-hospital-in-gaza

Photos from the following day also appear to show little damage to the hospital buildings, and a relatively small blast zone from the explosion. That damage pattern is inconsistent with a large air-dropped bomb, which would leave a crater and create a shockwave that would damage or destroy surrounding structures, says Marc Garlasco, a former targeting officer for the U.S. military who now works for PAX, a Netherlands-based non-profit.
"It's very clear to me that this is not an airstrike." Garlasco says. Israeli bombs typically leave craters three to ten meters in size, and are designed to create a large shockwave that propels shrapnel over a large area.
If you look at the photos of the site there's no crater, no destroyed buildings, just burned cars.
You ever drive down a rural road, and out the window you suddenly come across an old shuttered up house? The kind of house with five cars parked on the front lawn in various states of disrepair? With overgrown bushes pushing into the peeling paint of the wooden siding alongside a giant novelty bigfoot that seems to stare at you as you zip by down the road? The one with the chain link fence that's torn in five places and yellowed trailer up on blocks? The one with a dog tied to a post, barking it's head off outside, so you know someone actually lives there?
I imagine these threads are like a window into the lives of the people in those houses. It's like they're living in a whole different society, with their weird quirks and vaguely unsettling rituals.
Every time I'm like, damnit Lae'zel get out the way! Let the grown ups talk! Your charisma is 8!
Thought it was funny how it felt like such a relief getting 3-3 with a failed U/G draft deck, and such a disappointment going 4-3 with the streamlined R/W aggro deck I got right after.
Should post a picture of them all! I'm curious what that looks like.
Connect app can do that as well
It was still down for me as of a few hours ago, haven't checked recently though.

Hamas explicitly uses those places to launch attacks because they don't give a fuck about Palestinians civilians and want Israel to bomb them so they look bad. The alternative is to let them launch rockets against Israel with impunity, which has worked so well for the past 20 years, hasn't it?
