Oh and i suppose those are the numbers Israel gave you. Civilian casualties is just part of war when cowardly israeli generals live in civilian areas.

Oh whoops accidentally used yalls dehumanization tactics. So silly of me, ignore that.

Neonazis do genuinely like Israel (currently and historically). For a combo of either:

(1) It's a place to send the jews to get them out of their country. One if the main reasons the US supported israel in early days, guven how antisemetic the US was (and is)

Or

(2) They see it as a model ethnostate regarding how they eliminate Palestinians. I.e. look at the map since 1949 or even 2000.

But more simply: if some meathead hates jews and muslims, pick the winning side

Respect the sentiment, but even this offers too much.

Being jewish has less to do with israel than being chinese does with china. It should really be israeli.

Being jewish is cool, fun, and (crucially) has nothing to do with supporting right wing ethnostates.

Such comic book understanding of hammas, essentially the closest thing Palestinians have to a government, and the sole force resisting genocide (albeit as rightwing theocrats).

Yet the humane alternatives will never bee humored by israel. Grant citizenship to all Palestinians, roll back illegal settlments designed to fragment the people and enstate a 2 state solution, really anything other than leveling civilian areas because there mightaybe could be a guy with a rocket. Apply that logic to any city and we would have flattened Manhattan by the 90s.

The average Palestinian is under 20 years old. This is one of the most powerful and right wing armies in the world making excises for killing children.

AKA ethnic cleansing. I'm sure they've considered it.

Yeah folks in crutical care at a hospital really have an option to act on the "leave your land and be a refugee elsewhere" message.

Ethnic cleansing or genocide, so kind to give a choice.

Hope you remember in 20 years you were posting genocide denial rhetoric in your free time and feel ashamed. Same points used un many other genocides.

Zero evidence, and portrays how little you know about the organization. Nice knee jerk against defending human rights though

FWIW getting one of those disc suitcases can hold hundreds of dvds without taking up much space at all. If you rip backups, you can store it somewhere out of the way without too much clutter. Plus it's a very stable backup for the digital files.

Imagine having the time and resources to be such a shit in this way. The main thing is don't be a transphobe, but then a substantial secondary thing is get a life.

Unfortunately we need more militantly anti-white-supremacy institutions to make a dent in the problem, and what we get is an occasional report acknowledging the issue and candle vigils to 'raise awareness'.

To be a bit more precise, Signal is against federation from two angles:

  • Innovation: Signal values absolute control over the protocol so that they can more rapidly implement UX experiences scene in other modern messaging apps. It also eliminates malicious or outdated servers changing the UX between users. Ultimately folks won't blame the servers, they'll blame the app, and stop using it.

  • No rope for users: They seem pretty confident that the Apple-style of software and UX is right— if a user can change stuff enough to break it, they will. For secure messaging, they'd rather users have fewer choices to be sure it is secure.
