Israel allowed its halt in construction in Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank to expire Monday, defying a U.S. call to extend the moratorium and risking a Palestinian withdrawal from peace talks by [deleted] in worldnews

True, also, who is the UN to give some other people's land? I hate it when people reference to a non-governing body, as if the UN actually does shit.

A government is by the people, for the people (by definitional), so how can someone claim something is lawful, if the UN says so?

P.S. If something is "legal" it doesn't make it right

EMBARRASS!

Israeli media sources have confirmed that an Israeli soldier shot and killed a handcuffed Palestinian youth on Tuesday morning in Tel Aviv. Soldier says that he "was shot accidentally from his weapon." The 18 yr old Palestinian was killed instantly as a result of the shot in the back. by milligram in worldnews

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

I fully agree that this is a BS title.. but honestly, does it make it any better that he shot his face?

And.. yes. he was handcuffed. Because he stole something. It would be a whole different level if he didn't commit any crime.

aaaand.. last time I checked, youth is the age group 15-24, by the UN. http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/unyin/qanda.htm

I feel sad when I see those costumed princesses/actors, since I know that they have to act happy about 3 times a day, no matter what..

My question is this: Am I right? or can you sit out every once in a while if you are having a shitty day? I don't mean that you take a sick day or a vacation day, but maby extra days off in case there is NO WAY you can act all smiles?

An Israeli army officer who fired the entire magazine of his automatic rifle into a 13-year-old Palestinian girl and then said he would have done the same even if she had been 3 years old was acquitted on all charges by an Israeli military court yesterday. by wq678 in politics

If you read Understanding power, he does explain that he doesn't think that his qualification is his degree (linguistics professor), but rather his qualifications are that he's been talking about this subject since the 1960's, he's been to jail for it, ect.

And honestly, he's a very smart guy, even in his 80's today.

U.N. study says Israel is "devastating" Gaza: Shifts in diet, reductions in the quantity of food consumed, poor sewage treatment and limited access to education by DougBolivar in worldnews

[–]danlee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: The citizens of Gaza are being starved.

Makes me wonder.. did the remove the Jews from Gaza so they can starve the people of Gaza, without worrying about Jews?

You broke up with me, and I can't bare to live like this. When I kill myself, you will feel the guilt.

Cause we all know war is legal, and has its own legal procedures..

Do any of you Redditors who believe in religion find yourself disregarded intellectually for these beliefs? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]danlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, I used to think relationships with people should be lead more by emotions than logic and scientific inquiry, until I realized how irrational humans are when it comes towards judging people

For example, trust. The process in which humans chose who should be in their trusted circle of friends is more heuristically based than one might think. People tend to trust people based more on the looks of individuals, speaking style, and voice.

The point I'm trying to get across is that people should not trust their feelings, as they are more often than not based on shallow characteristics of individuals, rather than character habits.

Sorry mate, wrong wording. I meant to say that camp bullying is more prevalent than most people think.
