RNZ news report about how many bombs Israel has dropped in Gaza, how many 'targets' they've hit, how many IDF soldiers killed...nothing about how many Palestinians have died

My vision is for every neo-fascist political front to be destroyed then permanently memorialized with delicious street-food from the nations they vilified in their nationalist fervors.

The "British Union of Fascists" storefront in 1934 Durham is no a kebab shop.

She just sent $8.7 billion to Israel to help bomb Lebanon and other countries

Kamala tweeting The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there.

To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million.

To my mind, a big problem with the fast track consents bill is it applies to both infrastructure - which usually provides significant public benefits and is often necessary and long overdue - and ”economic development” - which supports a few businesses and doesn’t provide the same public benefits

Yes. This is the question.

Seriously, what does it take? What atrocity could Israel commit before it becomes a matter of public disgrace to champion our alliance? Does a threshold even exist? And what terrible harvest will the west reap for so unapologetically telling the world that it attaches so little value to these Arab lives snuffed out of existence?

This is a conservative estimate at 5.4% of Gaza killed. To put this in perspective, the genocides in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur resulted in the deaths of 2.5%, 12%, and 5% of the populations, respectively. The genocide in Gaza is already surpassing most modern examples of genocide in deaths.

Gilead "said it would allow drug manufacturers in Asia and Africa to make cheap generic versions of its lifesaving HIV drug." "The new deal would permit four companies to sell it for much less — perhaps as little as $40 — in 120 poorer nations." www.nytimes.com/2024/10/02/h...

Losing his job does not appear to me to be out of proportion to the offence. Police are in a position of privilege being allowed to use violence in the course of their work - abuse of that privilege should lead to losing your job.

I am literally producing on a Palestinian game project where we have a "in case of our creative director getting massacred" contingency plan, and people dare to tell me to "focus on video games". Even my video games life is directly affected by the on-going genocide.
