Damn thank you for inspiring me, I saw the '3d print case' and was like ehh, but thinking about making a wood case for this sounds sick.
It sounds wild to think about making your own electronic device, but after getting into woodworking I think it could be simpler to build this than a quality birdhouse lol.
It's designed to be build-able by anyone and extensible, so it should be repairable by the average consumer. You can just hack kindle hardware as long as the device works but this project is trying to actually build something more sustainable.
You are turned away from the Palestinian cause because of this? What is the 'Palestinian cause' to you? You are saying you support the view that an entire population should be eradicated or forced from their homes, because a group of militants among their population of millions committed acts of terror.
So Jewish anti-Zionists are just self-hating antisemites then? Would you rather people call themselves 'anti-Israel?' I can support the Jewish people and also believe that it was wrong to unilaterally force a people out of their home, force them into small territories and bomb them for decades.
2- Israel should cease to exist by making all Israelis leave their country
Why is the only solution a mass displacement or genocide? 'Zion' and 'Israel' are constructs, like all nation-states, a new political paradigm can be created without another Nakba or Holocaust.
I've seen people compare the media coverage of this to propaganda before around the Iraq war, but I feel like it's already much less one-sided than the calls for invasion were then. I read a Guardian article that made it very clear how horrific Israel's response has been, and how their treatment of Palestine has been horrible for years. For a major source it was about as pro-Palestine as I could imagine them right now. Even on Reddit, I was browsing some comment sections and there was surprisingly humane discussion about the issue.
God this is such a good example of how insufferable mainstream political discussion is. "Israel is genociding people." Reponse: "Everybody has a voice about the right paths in life and no one's voice should be suppressed. Next Question."
What are you basing that belief on? There is no evidence to back that up, unions have been shown to benefit workers and consumers time and time again.
It's not only unnecessary, but won't even work to destroy Hamas. A supporter of Hamas could just as easily say that the brutality of their attack was necessary to destroy the Zionist government of Israel.
True, the store security usually didn't actually do anything, the police would be doing that while the security talks to them, but on two occasions I did see the security tackle a person.
I'm fortunate that my parents, who were raised going to church, turned away from religion specifically because of the incredible injustice they witnessed. They knew there was no magical spirit coming to save us, they raised their kids to fight for real change here on earth. I have felt such despair and seen the appeal of religion, I think it can be helpful for people so long as it doesn't allow them to become complacent about what needs to be done here now.
