To clarify the rules, syqs are not illegal in cspam and not currently illegal in this thread. They got banned in the Ukraine thread through a combination of excessive overuse (people who didn't know how to turn it off even when it wasn't insane or funny enough) and stupid forums war bullshit.

I expect they will not be banned in this thread as long as they are not overused to the point of excess and do not lead to stupid forums war bullshit.

As usual remembering things is illegal

Israeli army says attacks on Gaza to continue even if harm reaches captives

The Israeli army radio has reported that Israeli airstrikes on Gaza will continue even at the cost of harming Israeli captives in Gaza.

“Attacks on the Gaza Strip will be carried out powerfully and widely, even at the cost of harming Israeli hostages who are in captivity in Gaza.

“If there is accurate intelligence information about the location of the captives. Certainly Israel will refrain from attacking that location, but as long as such information does not exist, all Hamas targets will be attacked.”

I stopped reading CSPAM, mostly, like six months ago just because my cracks are pretty fully pinged, I have been forced by life back into Viral Miasma world, and my takeaway from the biosphere/dday econ/etc threads is that my time is better spent enjoying life with my family and focusing on material issues that are local enough that I have some agency over them.

Came back last night because I wanted basically any reasonable coverage of this conflict, the NYT made my head explode and then D&D made my head explode even harder.

All my real life friends, and, apparently my family, are pretty loving weird but they all seem to be reacting to this with "it sucks and also seems inevitable given the unconscionable and evil actions taken by the state of Israel". I guess my immediate circle is more of an echo chamber than I thought :allears:

Just saw this on Al Jazeera.

Also it's a trip watching Al Jazeera after the fire hose of propaganda from all American media. During the psycho media environment in the run-up to the Iraqi invasion I'm not sure if Al Jazeera even existed yet and if it did I'm pretty sure it wasn't in English and even if it was there wasn't a convenient app on my Roku streaming box. When I first heard about it back in the day it was characterized as the scary terrorist channel. Now it's on Roku!

Al Jazeera existed in 2003 and was routinely described in the US media as "pro-terrorist" and "terrorist enablers" and such.
