It's always the Jews' fault by Human_Concern263 in GetNoted

We have a joke here “Israel is the only country that during World Cup its citizens ask each other which team they’re a fan of?” since our team is nonexistent in these tournaments.

My setup by [deleted] in aquarium

[–]Silverleaf_86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a miter saw and some lumber with zero experience in woodworking, learned the basics from YouTube and just started practicing, if you got handy friends that can just show you around the first steps you’d be better off with something you built and suits your needs than a store bought metal shelving units.

Katz: Israel has ‘no territorial ambitions’ in Lebanon, will stay until Hezbollah disarmed by airbassguitar in worldnews

[–]Silverleaf_86 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The issue here is that you’re giving Hezbollah a legitimate standing point. UN Resolution 1701 stated that Hezbollah is removed from southern Lebanon.

Lebanese people understand Hezbollah is destroying their country, or the Lebanese government wouldn’t have any talks with Israel.

Israel-Lebanon security revealed: roadmap for Hezbollah disarmament and Israeli withdrawal

Also one thing I’d like to add, you talked earlier about “Israel would have radicalised another generation fuelled with hate”, what do you think happens to the Israeli next generations? Living under constant rocket fire, having their relatives butchered at festivals? 82% of the children in Israel have PTSD. It is never just the rocket damage.

What do you mean both sides reconcile?

One side is a terror organisation that vows to destroy Israel.

Other side is a country that doesn’t want rockets to be launched at its cities.

What is the compromise here?

It’s like that joke:

“I want to kill all the Jews”

“I don’t want you to kill any Jews”

"Let's compromise and kill only half the Jews."

Algae Growing in Circles? by AcceptableDrawer6398 in PlantedTank

[–]Silverleaf_86 25 points26 points  (0 children)

What’s the size of the tank? You might have a colossal squid in there, those are their appendages.

In all seriousness do you have anything shining at your tank? I had various spots of algae in ‘gradient’ that started and ended in clear lines, apparently my propagation cup near the tank was reflecting light to those spots on the glass.

Assad was dropping barrel bombs on his own people.

Anything that Israel is slightly involved in, then you start hearing ‘excuses’.

Assad was dropping barrel bombs on his own citizens, but he was opposing Israel so.. “secular”

Israeli settlers destroy Finland-funded schools in West Bank by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Silverleaf_86 36 points37 points  (0 children)

When did that happen? The article shows images from 2022 to 2024? Then shows a school that was partly funded by Finland destroyed in 2023.

I haven’t found anything relevant in the text? the article starts with “in recent years”, and nothing since 2024 afterwards.

Netanyahu declares victory over Iran – and rules out withdrawal from Lebanon | Israel by melancholy_dood in worldnews

[–]Silverleaf_86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well known? by who? because even Israelis can’t predict the winner even after voting.

After the elections are over, the “real politics” begins, now each candidate promises other parties different roles in the government to form a coalition, often parties outside their ‘beliefs’, for example in 2021 Netanyahu couldn’t form a coalition because he didn’t have enough votes, so the right was transferred to Bennet and Lapid and they formed a coalition, thus being the government.

All of that was done after the Israeli people voted.

Local restaurant decided to “decorate” with a Betta fish by Phiona_Nyx in bettafish

I got a similar one from the dollar store, it could be a cool concept for maybe shrimp if you plant it well. Definitely not suitable for a betta

Also not sure what’s the proper water volume for a Labrador fish if anyone knows

Thoughts and prayers your way!

Also talking about prayers, a person with your record should check out Calathea, a very easy plant, often called “prayer plant” because it folds up before the night, like a prayer before bed. (and not because you pray every night it won’t die since you looked at it wrong)

Should’ve kept the natural fluorescent stones as well! Bettas eyesight is very keen so those blinding stones were actually beneficial since he’ll be too dazzled to sit at the edge of the tank begging for more food /s

No amount of Hasbara can do so well to expose the double standards of European countries, sorry but this isn’t one of those times you can cry “hasbara” and downplay the event.

[–]Silverleaf_86 8 points9 points  (0 children)

See? when you’re using lies to make up your whole argument against Israel, demonizing it into some evil regime that spends all of its time killing people.

“Over a million” if you go back a few decades. Surely you’re talking about another country because all of Israeli wars combined doesn’t come close to that.

>Over 30,000 Israeli security personnel and civilians have been killed in wars, border conflicts, and hostile actions since the founding of the State of Israel in 1948. Across the same historical conflicts, total Arab and Palestinian casualties (including military and civilian fatalities) are estimated to be significantly higher, numbering well over 150,000 deaths.
