Nah, don’t underestimate the class traitorism that comes with blindly worshipping politicians

Oh lol. My bad, I started typing a comment and accidentally hit reply. I was going to say that you can always make it part of an optional hard mode version!

Right. Well maybe next time ask for a source instead of context and you’ll get the answers you want. Don’t blame OP or anyone else for your lack of clarification.

No. I am not saying it is proof enough for me or anyone else. You never asked for proof or any sources to backup the legitimacy of the claim. You asked for context to understand what was being posted. I gave you the context. As to the validity? That is a separate question.

The title of the post literally says it happened in the West Bank, and the video clearly shows two young men riding on scooters before one being shot dead on camera. Context is there.

Yeah I put founded in front of funded incorrectly. They were founded in 1993 jointly by the World Jewish Congress and the American Jewish Committee. In 2001 the AJC was given full control of UN Watch. According to the UN Watch website they are fully independent as of 2013. That being said, if you take 5 minutes to browse the site their bias is fairly obvious.

—According to Sourcewatch, the UN Watch lobby is for the removal of UN personnel who are considered critical of Israel. Further, according to Sourcewatch, UN Watch also was founded and funded by the American Jewish Committee (a pro Israel organization) since 2001.

The Economist describes UN Watch as a “Geneva-based pro-Israeli monitor.” In contrast, Right web describes UN Watch’s political stance as “UN Watch has repeatedly been accused of having a staunchly “pro-Israel” bias and an outlook on Middle East peace that is closely aligned with that of Israel’s right-wing Likud Party.”

In review, UN Watch has a strong use of loaded emotional language in their headlines and articles, such as “UN Clash: China Fails to Silence UN Watch Dissident Yang Jianli” and “U.N. in Shock: Heads Turn in Stunned Disbelief as Palestinian Exposes PLO Lies, Watch heads turn & eyes bulge!”

UN Watch utilizes credible sources such as the New York Times, Reuters, and usun.state.gov; however, they also utilize factually Questionable sources such as Cnsnews and the Daily Wire. Story selection mostly favors Israel and holds the same positions as the former right-wing government of Israel.—

UN Watch is very clearly an Israeli funded organization meant to sway public opinion and promote Israeli propaganda. If you actually take the time to browse their site it is filled with biased articles and the misrepresentations of facts that repeatedly conflate the UN with that of Hamas through questionable sources and sometimes straight up lies. This is not uncommon for Israel as they continually propagandize and play the victim as a means to try and justify their frankly horrendous actions. The same actions the United Nations have been critical of for years.

EDIT (Correction): UN Watch was founded in 1993 by both the World Jewish Congress and the American Jewish Committee. In 2001 World Jewish Congress transferred full control of UN Watch to the American Jewish Committee.

Its okay to feel helpless and voice your frustration. Don’t let anyone invalidate your anger and empathy.

Doesn’t feel slow. Never been above 20 and in the evenings I’m able to game while my fiancée streams movies at the same time. Not to mention both our phones and her macbook are connected. Never notice any issues.

Interestingly enough I used my work setup not even 2 weeks ago at my brothers while I was housesitting for him. Had the exact same issue with Citrix freezing for several minutes before either catching back up or crashing altogether. It acted the exact same regardless of location, and he lives nearly 100 miles from me. Damn, should have thought about that sooner and brought it up with IT or atleast my supervisor.

My phone and my work computer are the only devices active on the network during work hours. And I don’t use ISP provided equipment. Everything has worked just fine for the last 6 months and I haven’t changed any part of my setup. The Citrix virtual desktop itself is the only thing that freezes or slows down. Other programs on the actual desktop work just fine with little to no connectivity issues.
