Happened once a long time ago, incredibly vivid dream and it was quite nice.

That’s an impressive track record.

One presidency is more than a full-time job. Whilst I do like him cut the poor guy some slack.

University prof? Witty? Sharp tongue?

I’m down.

An astronaut for president? That’s actually pretty catchy.

Also seems like an interesting guy outside of that.

Seems like an interesting guy, and fits my two basic criteria: not being a geriatric and being a reasonable person. I’ve limited my expectations to avoid disappointment :'D

Two wrongs don’t make a right. I was highlighting to the OP why education (in this instance) isn’t actually reducing bigotry and hate like it would in many other cases, but instead making the problem worse.

Besides, the issue with problematic materials in teaching is hardly limited to Gaza.

If you’re unhappy with this particular link, just search yourself. There are condemnations from several institutions (amongst them the EU comission). This is pretty much common knowledge for those who are familiar with the situation.

Unfortunately, education in Gaza has been directly linked to the incitement of terrorism. In Gaza the children read textbooks in school containing hateful, antisemitic messaging along with encouraging martyrdom and jihad.

Some basic QOL-fixes such as asthma, eyesight and allergies. Fix the propensity for alzheimers and heart disease. After that, probably not much.

From article:

Davidson said, adding that it was a “really s—ty feeling” when fans started paying more attention to who he was dating than what was going on in his career.

Next sentence:

Who else has Davidson dated?

Lmao

Ukraine doesn’t use hospitals and schools as military infrastructure, or hide their soldiers behind civilians.

Not even Russia, as evil as their government may be, does this.

It is unsurprising that civilians get harmed when the Palestinian government in Gaza puts them in harms way.

In Sweden, where I live, 78.5% of paper packaging put into the market was recycled for materials (as opposed to recycled for energy a.k.a burning it in a power plant)

At least where I live even the interior lining and lid are now made from cellulose fibers and as such the packaging is (a) fully renewable and (b) the materials can be reused for other paper-esque products.

Here’s what the UN says on the matter.

Israel is a democracy with well-established and independent institutions…

In the occupied Palestinian territory…

So at least in the reality where the UN exists, Israel is a democracy and the Palestinian territories are occupied (as opposed to annexed).

I’d love to hear more about the reality that “we” (you and your woefully uninformed friends I presume?) are present in.

An Apartheid is not a democracy.

Even if it were, those aren’t mutually exclusive. Most, if not all democracies are flawed in some fashion.

But still the war cabinet fully supports what Netanyahu is saying here.

So much so that members have been on the verge of resigning several times. You underestimate just how frail Netanyahus position really is.

So you are correct to point out that it is not just Netanyahu but the israeli government that does not want a ceasefire.

It does, just not at the terms Hamas demands.

The rest of your comment makes no sense.

I’m perfectly willing to clarify. If there is something you fail to understand, please highlight it.

Netanyahu is not the end-all-be-all of Israeli decisionmaking. Unlike Hamas, the Israeli state is a democratic institution. If an agreement is formulated between that guarantees the Israeli citizenry that Gazan islamic terrorists won’t repeat an october 7 massacre in the future, Netanyahu will not be able to stop it. Time is what is needed to create such an agreement.

However, as always, Hamas prioritizes their own interests above those of the Gazan populace. They know very well Israel can not realistucally agree to an unconditional, permanent end to hostilities, as that was the situation that led to october 7th in the first place.

At the minimum I would expect a permanent end to the war to be conditioned on Hamas releasing the remaining civilian hostages.

Would still be better to agree to a temporary ceasefire whilst a permanent one is negotiated.

Yeah, I honestly give very few shits about the political opinions of the lemmy devs as long as it doesn’t taint the project itself -and if it did at some point in the future, forking an open-source project is stupidly easy.

I even donate a smidge of money to the development effort via librepay - man does need it to live after all.

Dessalines & Nutomic put a lot of effort into building and maintaining the lemmy codebase. I respect that.

Liberty means freedom, not only from government,s,but from authority in general. Corporations, religious organizations, criminal organizations, political organizations and other people.
