  • Australian working in Rafah hospital says all staff are struggling: ‘We have victims caring for victims’

  • I'm not a US citizen so please could you explain this line of reasoning to me?

    Trump was the person that recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital, despite absolutely no need to. I haven't heard of anything that suggests he wouldn't support Israel wholeheartedly.

    So in a choice that is Biden Vs Trump. Why is Biden the worse choice?

    Now don't get me wrong, as a Brit I know how much of a curse FPTP is - but it's a pipe dream to think a 3rd party candidate hae a chance of winning in this situation, surely?

    So what's the logic of these kinds of posts? If you don't vote for Biden, won't you just end up with something worse?

  • Poland is concerned by pro-Putin slogans at farmers' protests, saying Russian agents may be to blame

    Jump

  • Pretty sure I saw someone's comment earlier saying one 'Polish' farmer-protestor was on a list of Russian agents.

  • Want to watch porn in Britain? Get your passport ready

  • As a quote in the article states, porn is the canary in the coal mine - with some MPs apparently advocating for blocking VPNs to prevent work arounds.

  • Top UK diplomat says Britain could recognize a Palestinian state before a peace deal with Israel

    Jump

  • You're right, we should go with verifiable facts.

    Just a reminder, this is the guy that promised a Brexit vote to stop his party from splitting in half, actually followed through with that promise, and pikachu faced when he got outplayed by his own party's propaganda machine, then ran away to leave everybody else to deal with the mess.

  • Political pressure builds on Biden to strike Iran after US deaths

    Jump

  • No, that isn't what I said. I said Hamas ignited the current disaster - which is one step in a whole series of disastrous moves by both the State of Israel and Hamas.

    But to address your point of what are the Palestinians to do? There isn't a nice clean answer for that because the burden of responsibility lies on both sides - moreso on the side with the greater power (so, Israel).

    But terrorism isn't helpful when it leads to the genocide of your people.

    If Hamas hadn't done October 7th, then a lot more innocent Israelis, Palestinians, and Gazans would still be alive today.

    If you're trying to suggest that it's a means to an end... Well first of all, the ends do not justify the means. Second of all - what end exactly has Hamas helped achieve here?

  • I'm... really not sure what point you're trying to make to me here, sorry.

    Unless you're trying to strawman me, in which case - why?

  • Political pressure builds on Biden to strike Iran after US deaths

    Jump

  • I'm sorry, I don't follow what you're trying to convey here.

    That there is an even bigger picture than in my comment? Well, yes, of course. The Israel-Palestine situation is a hundred year old mess.

    But how was my comment reductive as well? I didn't lay the blame squarely at the feet of any one party, which is far closer to the truth than saying "It's all Israel's fault."

    And if you take contention with me being nuanced, please consider that by doing so you don't actually do any favours to the conversation and therefore a peaceful resolution that is as fair as can possibly be achieved.

    So, if it helps you come back to the table, please know that I absolutely think what Israel is doing is appalling and they have an obscene power disparity over the Palestinian people and are abusing that wholesale - when they could use it to create peace.

  • Political pressure builds on Biden to strike Iran after US deaths

    Jump

  • Now I'm no supporter of Israel's genocide in Gaza, but your statement is way too reductive.

    The current disaster in Gaza was ignited by Hamas on October 7th, no doubt at the encouragement of Iran. And yes, Israel definitely bears a significant amount of responsibility for creating the tinder box that October 7th sparked, and also has certainly fanned the flames with enthusiasm.

    But responsibility for the escalation and continuation of the situation rests also on Iran, on Hamas and the Houthis, and also to a lesser degree on the US and other Western allies that enable Israel.

  • Spanish defence ministry demands €94,782.47 from Briton who said he would blow up plane

    Jump

  • No, the dude isn't an idiot. We have an assumption to a right to privacy in the UK. That privacy was invaded and worse still he's being laden with the charge for the invasion.

    Either we need to accept that there is a cost to counter-terrorism operations including those of false positives, or we in essence let the terrorists win by allowing them to force us into a perpetual state of terror - i.e. where we live and act in a constant state of fear of the potential of a terror act.

  • Or maybbbeeee we should expect more diligence from our state apparatus than one single message.

    It's ridiculous to try and charge a person for what amounts to a police over reaction.

    Should the Twitch streamer get the charge for being SWATed because they pissed off the troll in their channel?
