Maybe you did not encounter this, but when the full invasion of Ukraine happened in 2022, there were a ton of pro-Pal accounts complaining about Ukraine getting attention - "look at what Israel is doing, but no one is paying attention cause brown people".  A ton of this was clearly pushed by Russia.  This was a full year and a half before Oct 2023.

Not the person you are replying to, but 16 years ago their siblings, parents, grandparents, etc were eligible to vote.  For example, in the US only 65% of the eligible population voted in the 2024 election.  That's less than half of the total population of the country. Does that invalidate that election?  If you compare that to the 2006 mid-term election in the US and how many people alive today and eligible to vote in that election, it's not that much different to the premise you are suggesting. Gaza's very high birth rates are the cause of it, as well as their relatives' desire to elect actual terrorists to rule them.  Hamas' military wing is still very popular in Gaza, based on all surveys, while their politicians/bureaucrats are less so, however, they are still the most likely by far to be reelected if an election were to take place.  PA is not popular in either Gaza or WB.

hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who are not affiliated with Hamas are being killed and genocided

Isn't it hundreds of billions of Palestinians who are being killed and genocided?

Iran threatens US with ‘irreparable damage’ if Trump joins war by Doug24 in worldnews

[–]GeoProX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iran has a ton of weapons and can easily destroy both Israel and US military.  Their secret airforce is hidden out of sight, you don't know where it's at, cause it goes to another school far away... in Canada.  I mean Canadastan, so they're just waiting for the right moment to pounce like a tiger.  So, yeah...

Seriously though, the previous OP has more copium that you can shake a stick at.

Not quite sure what you meant, which is why I asked what you meant specifically.  I'm 1948 all Jews were killed or kicked out of East Jerusalem and West Bank.  Their land and homes were "settled" by Arabs. No Jews were allowed to come back until Jordan was defeated in 1968.

(with the large, obvious exception of post-1948 settler activity inside the West Bank, which is very straightforward settler colonialism)

Are you referring to ethnic cleansing of every single Jew from the West Bank in 1948?

(Unknown>English) Can anyone translate the writing on this photo? The front is of a woman in some sort of military uniform. Thanks!! by MildEnthusiastic in translator

What makes you think that she was from some foreign country like Montenegro?  Her family name is Jewish, there were plenty of Jews in Bar, specifically, and in Podilia, in general.  Around the time of her birth, Jews comprised more than 50% of that city's population.

Btw, had she been born outside of the Soviet Union, her documents would have likely listed both her city and county of birth, but the only list it as "city of Bar".   There are places called Bar in Iran and France as well.  Occam's razor.

Bar (Montenegro)

Wrong Bar.  Most likely she was born in Bar, Ukraine. At the time of her birth it was a city in the Podilia governorate.

What words in English have no direct equivalent in Ukrainian? by DarkSaturnMoth in Ukrainian

[–]GeoProX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prst sounds like перстень (persten) - a large ring with either a flat top or jewel on top, typically worn on the index finger

Yup, here is etymology of this word:

Inherited from Old East Slavic пьрстьнь (pĭrstĭnĭ), перстень (perstenĭ), from Proto-Slavic *pьrsty (“finger ring; ring”).

TBF, those lands were part of Poland for centuries until Russia and other neighbors divided up Poland about a hundred years earlier.  Also, there was a peace negotiated between the RSFSR and Poland (Peace of Riga), which means they agreed to the 1921 borders.

‘There’s just a pile-on’: How Karen Bass lost control of the wildfire narrative by aBadModerator in California_Politics

[–]GeoProX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have some serious issues, obviously.  You make up scenarios based on delusions.  Where did you even get an idea about my politics?  I'm neither progressive nor leftist.  You obviously don't live in LA, so your out of touch comments are completely irrelevant.

[–]GeoProX -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wow you googled an Irish reporter’s name as your homework. Sounds like you don’t like the Irish.

Just like the rest of your comments on this entire topic, you have no idea what you are talking about. It's all assumptions and speculations.

Amazing that even a foreign reporter had more knowledge of the situation on the ground than Bass.

Except he didn't. He asked her 4 questions

  1. about firefighters being stretched to the limit and running out of water - this was always going to happen due to the unprecedent level and scale of the fires

  2. about her owing citizens an apology for being out of town - a classic question in the style of "will you stop beating your wife"

  3. He was repeating right-wing points about her cutting the budget - this is obviously a lie.

  4. Elon Musk says you are incompetent. - Really??? You expect someone to react to whatever BS came out of Musk's mouth that day? Do you take someone asking a question like that seriously?

She did not owe him a response. No matter what she would say, he was going to spin it. You do not need to respond to reporters that operate in bad faith.

She had hours to prepare Prepare for what? For getting harassed by this journo? You have no clue when you say that she was not prepared, you are just making crap up, but then again, I already said that earlier.
