The civilian-to-combatant ratio in the war in Gaza is typical of urban warfare. If you disapprove of mass casualties, perhaps you should ask Hama not start an illegal war by committing genocide in Israel.
Is it Chilly con CAISO?
One of the disadvantages of Trump's decision to single the Jewish People out for protection is that it gives him the impression of partiality. Even if the criticisms are valid, the singling out of one group can render the speaker liable to accusations of what's known as the soft bigotry of high expectations. For centuries, people have accused the Jews of secretly running the world through a series of political interventions, social manipulations, and so on. Now, instead of 'Jews', people say 'Israelis', but it's the same poison with a new label on the bottle. Trump is inadvertently feeding those conspiracy theories by appearing to act on behalf of the Jewish People.
Trump's decision to use the Jewish People as a fig leaf for his bigotry is lamentable. Somehow, he figured out a way to give the Jew-hating conspiracy theorists' most goofy assertions a patina of legitimacy AND draw attention away from other persecuted groups whose needs are just as valid as those of the Jewish People.
It's a wet dream of the far-left that Trump should use antisemitism to 'protect' Israel from criticism, but the far-left has been demonizing Israel for decades. It doesn't need an additional excuse to act like the victim. Trump needs to stop helping (or whatever he calls it).
"Hi, I'm Barbie. Did you know that your body is your business?"
I didn't know Apple had those.
I'm surprised they weren't Turks.
Are they harvesting them from humans?
If they are, I'd like to give them a piece of my mind.
"A self-governing platform where high-reputation users gained moderation powers" is what happened to the Huffington Post's comments section. In the end, it fell apart and they switched over to Facebook.
Didn't South Park have an episode in which a character was complaining that his own statements were being used against him?
If only there were an app to facilitate secure audiovisual communication over long distances...
It is basically a loose-loose strategy for the US right now.
Loose-Loose Strategy is also my Grindr username.

If you lie down with dogs, don't be surprised when you get fleas.
You're right. Plenty of video game users are toxic, selfish bloodsuckers. Wait, wasn't that what you meant?
One needs to be careful where they plant their flag.
Or you'll get death threats? 'She was associating with the wrong company, wearing the wrong clothes, walking down the wrong street...' I've heard that before.
It sucks that she got death threats [but] the vast majority of it is likely justified anger at the company she chose to publicly represent.
Okay. Thanks for owning up to your endorsement of death threats. What's your parents' address?
It's hard to feel too much sympathy
Patrick Bateman, is that you?
When the poor brown people were Jewish, it didn't bother you.
Supporting Hamas isn't "protesting against Israel," but I still agree with you: Trump is singling out terrorism apologists for picking the wrong country. If they were paying lip service to efforts to destroy Tibet, he wouldn't turn a hair. Such favoritism emboldens the antisemitic conspiracy theorists *and* turns terrorism apologists into martyrs *and* has a chilling effect on the entirely legitimate criticisms that are being leveled against the Israeli government. Everyone loses: Israel's citizens, the people (in Israel and out) who criticize the country's government, the Gazans, diaspora Palestinians, diaspora Jews, free-speech advocates, college campuses,
