Haha I forgot it even meant that, I did just pick it at random from a food label :p

You are right, I have been a little out of the loop on recent international reactions, I was surprised to read a recent UN report outlining the atrocities so effectively. Last I heard they are still allowing arms sales from the US though which is what I meant more specifically

How can I respect any government that turns a blind eye to this? https://www.ohchr.org/en/documents/country-reports/ahrc5573-report-special-rapporteur-situation-human-rights-palestinian

You can find the pdf with citations at the page.

Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. I didn't realize so much was documented in one place, if you want to read about what's been happening, the full pdf is on the page with citations.

It's a classic simple joke probably decades old, but the humor is in the implication they want a bigger portion of something bad. Edit: ah it seems to be from the Woody Allen movie Annie Hall: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/4151-there-s-an-old-joke---um-two-elderly-women-are

There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.

Someone said a revolution is a series of sparks that create a fire, I feel hopeful that even small things like helping someone see the truth of a situation can help. But yeah it can be baffling the perspectives people have, it's hard to believe they aren't a paid shill or something sometimes. Also In a way I see arguing with views so opposed to mine as a way to ensure my own beliefs are solidly supported.

It's wild to think my kindergarten teacher was flamboyant, wasn't married, I thought he was gay but as a 6 year old I was afraid to talk about it because I knew you could get in trouble for being gay. I don't know if I really knew what it even meant to be gay yet but I knew people hated it. You couldn't be an openly gay teacher, and in a lot of the US you probably still can't be.

Why do I need to use a mobile website? I guess the comment I replied to was meaning they require their app for mobile banking vs browser which I should have realized

Violence against genocidal ethnostates is justified, why would anyone be banned for saying that?

That makes sense, I doubt I'll convince many people I argue with directly about anything, but I feel compelled to respond to Israeli apologia mostly for lurkers that might doubt the heinousness of the IDF, and to let anyone else know it won't go unchallenged, it's the very least I can do to defend the honor of the people being massacred. Obviously there is much more needed to be done.

Ah but I love reading these specific philosophical discussions on tech, I don't blame you though
