Jakabite posted:The thing I’m finding frustrating whenever I talk to anyone about the whole thing is, once they’ve been presented with Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people and the relative lack of power the latter have to fight back, and seem to begin to understand that this is oppressor vs oppressed, not a war between peers, they revert back to ‘its complicated’. Or ‘nuanced’. And yes everything to do with humans is complicated, but I don’t actually think this whole thing is that complicated. A bunch of Europeans decided to ethnically cleanse an area so they could live there, and continue to imprison, oppress, ethnically cleanse and now genocide the natives. The natives fight back, sometimes in ways that result in dead civilians. It genuinely doesn’t seem that complicated to me. It's not as simple as "Israel is committing genocide", and that's what these people want to distract from.

Jakabite posted:See I don’t think this is some ancient conflict as Zionists like to portray. It’s a direct war of resistance against a settler colonialist state that started to coalesce in 1908 and was formed properly in 1948 with the extremely violent expulsion of the native people. People can harp on all they like about ancestral homelands or whatever but it’s all just muddying of the waters. I'm not 100% sure tbh. Don't get me wrong I understand the perspective My only point is whether we agree on that or not doesn't really matter, I bet we agree dropping bombs on civilians is wrong.

I don’t think you were making that argument to distract from the horrors of Israel’s apartheid system by the way, it’s just something that people do use in that way. Although you’ve done far more questionable things for Special Circumstances…

"Buckingham Palace announces it will no longer seal cats up inside its walls to stop the Devil from getting in." Oh, OK.

keep punching joe posted:Why aren't the sailors washing their own sheets? According to the ex-Navy members of my family, it's because (a) hygiene is important enough aboard ships that you really want specialist laundry staff for it, and (b) the Chinese companies they were contracting for this had a genuinely excellent service record.

Update on Dave Courtney, he left a suicide note in video format Content Warning for frank discussion about his choice of euthanasia  emot to prevent lazy clicking https://twitter.com/davecourtney666/status/1716846884176699519Basically his arthritis had him in constant pain and getting worse and he said that after having such a fun and exciting life he didn't want the end of it to be years of daily physical agony just because that's "better" than being dead.
