@raphjd Much as I deplore this war, silver linings:

• people can remove Ukraine flags now / stop pretend to support Ukraine

• vaxx pressure, covid talk also on back burner

@raphjd This one is fine here - or could instead go under Religion?

But to your point, let's try to imagine headline like

Israeli Diplomat Stabbed in Honolulu During Catholic Call for ‘Day of Rage’

or even

USA Diplomat Stabbed in Nairobi During Buddhist Call for ‘Day of Rage’

They're unimaginable.

PS. Catholic Cardinal of Jerusalem offers to exchange himself for Israeli children taken hostage by Hamas

@lololulu19 Again I disagree. The bigger our population, the more we can sustain a technological & space-faring civilization.

"Population crisis" is no more worth worry, than "climate crisis".

Lib civil war, pro-Israel gets upper hand over pro-Hamas.

LONDON: Two sources have confirmed to Arab News that US news network MSNBC has suspended the shows of three Muslim anchors amid rising tensions in Gaza.

Earlier today, Semafor revealed that Mehdi Hasan, Ayman Mohieddine and Ali Velshi were “quietly taken out of the anchor’s chair since Hamas’ attack on Israel.”...

@raphjd Wow she goes for the moral issue: coercion, segregation & discrimination.

The community that faced the most restrictions on their freedoms were [the unvaxxed]... fired from their job, or not allowed to watch their kids play hockey, or not allowed to go visit a loved one...not allowed to go get on a plane...or even travel across the border. So they have been the most discriminated-against group that I've ever witnessed in my lifetime, that's a pretty extreme level of discrimination... we are not going to create a segregated society on the basis of a medical choice.

Too many just do "If we knew then what we know now" type apologies, reflects downfall of the vaxx, BUT, suggests their own hateful, evil actions would have been OK - if only vaxx had been better products. Wrong.

Even if vaxx worked: coercion, discrimination & segregation was still morally evil.

Context:

• Argentina "land of silver" is really "land of hyperinflation"

• NO ONE saves in pesos, or ought to

• Milei said nothing but truth

• This is how world works. Fake charges, added to various types of ballot fraud, sometimes assassinations, sometimes wars, sometimes hoax to justify "lockdown"...is how Regimes rig elections. USA are experts.

President Alberto Fernández had called for the investigation in a complaint filed Wednesday, saying that the right-wing populist candidate was trying to scare the public and that his actions were "a severe affront to the democratic system."

USA "Democrats" just nodded heads in agreement.

Prosecutor Franco Picardi on Friday referred a criminal case to a federal judge, going off Fernández's accusation that claimed Milei and other candidates on his party's ticket were inciting public fear...

Whoa - "public fear"?? REally?

Covid, anybody?

Climate, anybody?

"White nationalism" faked by USA FBI, anybody?

Milei is considered the frontrunner in the Oct. 22 election, after rocking Argentina’s political landscape when he unexpectedly received the most votes in August primaries that are widely seen as a massive poll of voter preferences.

Egypt doing EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to keep Gaza a prison, fuck-over Palestinians.

A senior Egyptian security official has told AP that Egypt has taken “unprecedented measures” to prevent a breach to its borders with Gaza. Thousands of security forces have been deployed at the border.

No "refugees" or "migrants who just need opportunity", for Egypt.

@raphjd If Gates weren't disgusting in other ways (cough, deadly vaxx), this would be a great quote:

“There’s a lot of climate exaggeration,” said Gates at a recent event. “The climate is not the end of the planet. So the planet is going to be fine...no temperate country is going to become uninhabitable."

@raphjd But did white life matter here - because he is Democrat?

Would Ingham County Prosecutor John Dewane done otherwise, if victim was, say, out to spread word about USA election fraud?

Still enriched by diversity: "French TV is reporting that a man shouted "Allahu akbar" before he killed a teacher and seriously injured two others this morning at a lycée in the centre of Arras, France."

The teachers put themselves in front of students - suggests real target was students:

Some want to hide the ethnic or Muslim angle:

A teacher was killed in a knife attack in a school in France’s northern city of Arras on Friday, while another teacher and the school’s security guard were injured, the latter seriously, police said.

Btw - globalist Henry Kissinger, of all people, at age 100, just made a stunning admission:

Kissinger says it was 'grave mistake' for Germany to take in so many migrants

"It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts...

Ireland in trouble. Remember, they once did extreme things to be rid of British.

@Spintendo You presume, the African & ME countries send hard-working people to France.

Newsflash - as saying goes, "They're not sending their best."

Also you imply that African countries are.... oh I don't know... shitholes. How'd you get to that?

@raphjd Don't forget New York Times

https://nypost.com/2023/10/11/new-york-times-cant-decide-whether-to-call-hamas-terrorists-or-gunmen/

...the outlet can’t seem to decide whether to call Hamas militants “terrorists” or “gunmen.”

Social media sleuths pointed out that when the Times first published its piece on Tuesday — titled “Hamas Leaves Trail of Terror in Israel” — the subheading denounced “the massacre of civilians by Hamas terrorists.”

By Tuesday evening, “terrorists” had been changed to “gunmen,”...

Wait. Gunmen? Not gunwomen? Gunpersons? Gun-xer?

NYT, just like that, before our eyes, falls into sexism & transphobia - as well as pro-Hamas anti-semitism??

Libs falling to pieces.

[someone] likened calling Hamas members “gunmen” to saying: “Untold pain suffering was caused by the amateur pilots on 9/11.”

@raphjd Hamas is all about using women & children as shields, and non-Jewish libs are all about blaming Israel.

I deplore war but here's rare twist, a rare moment when it might save lives.

Not to inject social issues, but some see White Privilege in this, perhaps White Savior Complex.

Author Wesley Yang, who is Asian, comments:

The right-wing meta-narrative where the left-wing Philly journo who mocked critics of Krasner's criminal justice policies had the consequences of his favored policies visited upon him by a street thug turned out to be wrong

Instead, the right-wing meta-narrative where the white leftist savior was actually a homosexual groomer using drugs to induce a troubled 15-year old black boy into sexual liaisons who was then murdered by the kid he was grooming after attempting to blackmail him with homemade porn turned out to be applicable

@raphjd Libs do the "hate crimes". Typical.

Libs say "Gaza is an open-air prison!" But never blame Egypt, somehow.

Also, libs never remember covid & "Climate" lockdowns - how libs want whole world to be open-air prison.

Here's how Egypt walls in Gaza. Why wouldn't Hamas attack Egypt?

Several days ago - https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/02/us/josh-kruger-death-philadelphia/index.html

Philadelphia journalist and advocate Josh Kruger shot and killed at home...

Most recently, Kruger had worked as a journalist covering issues like LGBTQ+ rights, homelessness, HIV and addiction...

“We are shocked and saddened by Josh’s death,” said Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney in a statement provided to CNN.

“Josh cared deeply about our city and its residents, which was evident both in his public service and in his writing,” said the mayor. “His intelligence, creativity, passion, and wit shone bright in everything that he did – and his light was dimmed much too soon. We were exceedingly fortunate to call him a colleague and our prayers are with everyone who knew and loved him.”

His work built on his own personal experiences living with HIV and experiencing homelessness, according to his LinkedIn profile. In his profile, he described himself as a “destroyer of stigma and bureaucratic silos” and a “believer in the common good.”

Sad, right? But for completeness, here's recent update.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/family-of-man-wanted-for-killing-josh-kruger-says-the-19-year-old-and-the-journalist-shared-sex-and-drugs/ar-AA1i3Ygs

tldr; Kruger was allegedly a pedophile shot by his victim, whom Kruger had not only raped (statutorily, allegedly) but introduced to drug addiction, allegedly.

Family of man wanted for killing Josh Kruger says the 19-year-old and the journalist shared sex and drugs

The family of Robert Davis, 19, who is accused of killing local journalist Josh Kruger, said that Davis was just 15 when he and Kruger began a years-long relationship involving drugs — and that Davis told them Kruger was threatening to post sexually explicit videos of him online before, police say, Davis shot Kruger...

Now it's even sadder.

Also ironic because Kruger had denounced the gay = pedophile stereotype and connected it to "far right" "violence", even as Kruger allegedly lived by that same stereotype.

Oh look. ADL denounced BLM after all.

https://twitter.com/JGreenblattADL/status/1712191503076868566

The post shared in recent days by BLM chapters in Chicago & LA & other fringe groups, glorifying the Hamas terrorists who used hang gliders to infiltrate Israel, slaughtering over 1,000 innocents, is beyond sick & twisted. It’s antisemitic, dehumanizing & could prompt violence.

Of course it doesn't change how before, ADL demanded worship of BLM.

It just means ADL heads spin like Scott Weiner.

Rare, feel-good moment. Law student supports Hamas outright - and loses LGBTQ+ job offer.

NYU Law School Bar Association's non-binary president Ryna Workman has job offer RESCINDED after saying Hamas' slaughter in Israel was 'NECESSARY'

Ryna Workman, 24, a student at NYU's School of Law sent a weekly newsletter saying the innocent slaughtering of Israeli children was 'necessary'
Workman, from Simpsonville, South Carolina, also refused to condemn Hamas - an internationally-recognized terrorist group who have triggered the all-out war
Winston & Strawn - which regularly highlights its legal work representing the LGBTQ + community - told DailyMail.com they've rescinded an employment offer
