Is it misleading?
r/worldnews only allows unedited titles. Looks like it has changed since then.
The thread I stole comments from was answering a person asking someone like “how can the US order Taiwan to do anything?”. I hate to promote Reddit but credit where it is due…

A close friend in a long term relationship told me his partner wanted kids but he wasn’t sure he would make a good father. My advice was along the lines of Douglas Adams.
Both kids are now in their 20’s and doing fine.
Thanks. Despite my scepticism I have sought out such communities and had not heard of those two.
There is also Mondragon in Spain…
I know of only one community in my country of Australia: Tuntable Falls. I can only find pages related to the school or real estate. It is 20 minutes drive from Nimbin which in turn is 40 minutes from Byron Bay, NSW.
I suppose there is Kibbutzim in Israel.
The only place I have seen that work was the Internet in the 90’s. Nowhere in the real world.
Humanity just isn’t spiritually evolved for anarchy. It may never be.
Or just use Safari. I use a browser for FB for years on my Android phone. Only problem is that when I try to chat it tries to install messenger unless I am in desktop mode.
On a Windows laptop it is easy to use with a browser, even chatting.
Thanks. Gives me hope. Would you also say the males are less constrained by the macho culture of older generations? More capable of talking about emotions?
And women less constrained by their own old stereotypes?
I find it hard to be sure because both stereotypes are still alive and popular. The gender benders have been around for decades but perhaps not as flamboyant now so they merely seems more mainstream now.
younger people today are skilled in ways could have only dreamed of.
Any examples?
Hezbollah launched 25 attacks from near UNIFIL posts over past month

The point is there was no global outcry. You hadn’t heard about it had you?
It is only when Israel responds to an entire year of daily missile attacks by Hezbollah that attention is paid.
UNIFIL was warned by Israel to get out of the way before they entered to stop the attacks by Hezbollah which UNIFIL couldn’t/wouldn’t.
The price of living has gone up in all developed economies it seems since the pandemic. Price gouging by corporations despite record profits.
I don’t understand how it is synchronized globally. Seems unlikely they agree at Davos under a full moon and then laugh maniacally but I am at a loss for a plausible explanation.
Israel warned UNIFIL well in advance to get out of the way. Why are they still there?
Until now…
it has failed to investigate a single one of the more than 3,000 Hezbollah arms depots and other military sites targeted by Israel since October—including bombed-out bases run by Hezbollah’s supposed environmental group “Green Without Borders.”
Bear in mind that Hezbollah’s been firing missiles into Israel daily since 8 October 2023. So much for UNIFIL “peacekeeping”.

nobody should be shooting at UN forces.
“Hezbollah members or their local supporters harassed UNIFIL patrols, threatened them with weapons, fired at them, stole their equipment”
Hezbollah have killed at least one…
“After Pvt. Sean Rooney, a UNIFIL peacekeeper from Ireland, was killed in December, surveillance camera footage reportedly showed armed men surrounding his patrol and declaring “We are Hezbollah.” A Lebanese military tribunal formally accused several Hezbollah members of the murder, and the group reportedly handed the primary suspect over to Lebanese authorities. “ https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/battle-unifils-independence-part-2-facts-ground
Arguably a blend of Office and Yes, Minister.
And yet the Democrats have not even tried to introduce ranked choice voting.
I think it is just Ireland though (which is why I added Ireland to the title).
I give you a report
You linked to an article which I looked at. It in turn linked to a 128 page report which I did not read because it does not have a Gaza section - and Gazan conditions leading up to Oct 7 was what you were responding to. I didn’t have time today to read the whole thing just in case.
Gaza was not anything like an “open air prison” until 2007 when Egypt closed the Southern Border shortly after Hamas took over: that was not Israel’s fault. Water supply issues in Gaza are caused by Hamas who boasted in a 2021 propaganda video showing themselves digging up water pipes to turn them into missiles. From 2014 to 2020, U.N. agencies spent nearly $4.5 billion in Gaza which could have been used to build civilian infrastructure but Hamas preferred to spend it militarily on its stated goal of ethnic cleansing of Jews “from the river to the sea”.
The Amnesty article cites no examples of government mistreatment of Arabs in Israel.
the article cites no examples of mistreatment of Arabs in Israel?
The article. Not the report.
Israel performed “massive seizures of Palestinian land and property, unlawful killings, forcible transfer, drastic movement restrictions, and the denial of nationality and citizenship to Palestinians”
In Israel is was what you were meant to be responding to. There are plenty of Palestinians with citizenship in Israel. I think the West Bank settlement expansion is unjust but that is not the topic here.
you are completely determined to wash over the sins of a government
Nope I was trying to stick to the topic of BBC going against their own government’s designation of Hamas as terrorists. You would rather talk about wider issues, so…
Both sides are “losing the war”: Back in December there was a great prescient article criticising Israel and a companion article criticising Hamas.
Very few ProPals seem to do balance whereas plenty of people who try to understand Israel’s difficulty (in avoiding being wiped out by Hamas) do criticise Israel.
Netanyahu’s Likud party only won 11% of the vote and it took 5 attempts at a working coalition for them to resume power in the last election. There were two arrest warrants against him for corruption and over 100,000 citizens protested against the government changing the law to allow them to override their equivalent of a constitution.
Your link is to Amnesty — one of the many “human rights” organizations unwittingly supporting terrorists who hijack and abuse our good-will and free speech in the West.
Read about Akhmed Chatayev. Arrested in Sweden with guns and explosives. Arrested in Ukraine with terrorist material. Arrested in Georgia for participating in a terrorist attack (Lopota incident). Arrested at the Bulgaria/Turkey border. Amnesty basically bailed him out. He’s the mastermind of the ISIS attack on the Istanbul airport (almost 50 dead). Luckily Georgian police eventually killed him in the end.
The Amnesty article cites no examples of government mistreatment of Arabs in Israel.
Arabs in Israel are equal in law to Jews (except for military conscription). Arab LBTQI+ find refuge in Israel. Arab women and schoolgirls in Gaza have to wear a hijab but not the Arabs in Israel (where they can even dance if they like).
the border checks since they have imported munitions in the past which they attacked Israel with.
this is an outright lie.
Just because some people use hyperbole like “world’s largest outdoor prison” doesn’t make what I said a lie. Blame Egypt for controlling the Rafah border not Israel. They have seen what happened to Jordan and Lebanon when they allowed Palestinians in.
I’m not sure proffering apologetics for war crimes is appropriate for Beehaw.
ICC has identified (but not prosecuted) war crimes by Likud’s Netanyahu and Hamas’ Sinwar.
you clearly label Hamas as a terrorist organization
I named countries which proscribe Hamas as a terrorist organization. You obviously don’t agree with these governments and it is fair enough to express it like that but not fair to try to bully me into agreeing with you.
a legitimate steward of the civilian population’s will.
Hamas has not allowed elections in Gaza since they won power in 2007.
Unfortunately it is hard to prove things like CFS (regardless of vaccines). If we believe all claims then some will rort the system. I have no opinion on how to deal with it.
