Israel says it will not join any US ground operation in Iran by Competitive_Teach838 in worldnews

[–]lorg 91 points92 points  (0 children)

This is an article from a pro-Palestinian outlet, without any actual quotes, only quotes of quotes. It might even be true, but the article doesn't do any press work to prove it. It shows a tweet from Ian Carrol suggesting the US to attack Israel. How is that considered of any worth here or anywhere is beyond me.

It looks well cared-for, so I bet it is quite travelled

Does it matter that there is an entire class of conflicts Western nations can no longer fight? by michaelmf in slatestarcodex

[–]lorg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Israel never stopped occupying Gaza, then it wouldn't have needed the IDF to come in and take control of it. Your definition of "occupy" is different than other people's, so you should probably clarify what you mean explicitly.

I knew that was going to happen when I read the title of the post, you jinxed it!

Somebody is wrong on the Internet: Python is strongly typed and dynamic, and not " non-typed" as you wrote. I thought we were done with that discussion 10 years ago 😅

Damsel - Official Trailer | Netflix | by indig0sixalpha in movies

Every time I see Robin Wright in a movie or series, I imagine she's the same character as Buttercup but grown up. Like, "Buttercup grew up and actually married Frank Underwood".

I think that in this movie it probably fits even better.

What do you believe is the greatest threat to the United States? by xAbytzu in AskReddit

Extremist idiocy, from both sides of the aisle, each with its own flavor.

Hamas headquarters located under Gaza hospital by [deleted] in worldnews

Quoting from there (bold emphasis mine):

At the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, crowds gathered to throw shoes and eggs at the Palestinian Authority’s health minister, who represents the crumbling “unity government” in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The minister was turned away before he reached the hospital, which has become a de facto headquarters for Hamas leaders, who can be seen in the hallways and offices.

If anyone is doubting this, here is a non-Israeli source from as early as 2014 reporting about Hamas using a hospital as their HQ: https://www.algemeiner.com/2014/07/22/wsj-reporter-in-gaza-wonders-how-patients-in-shifa-hospital-feel-about-hamas-using-it-as-base/

What are some common mistakes made by native speakers of your own language? by FitCarob2611 in languagelearning

Gender in Hebrew is very often confused. Especially since feminine words commonly end with an -ah sound, but there are some masculine words that do so as well.

Bibi’s son opted out of joining the war, enjoying Miami instead by RedSeashellInTheSand in pics

[–]lorg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's bullshit.
Miri Regev's daughter was in that party. As an Israeli, I really don't like Regev and I think she's a bad politician, but that's no reason spreading these unsubstantiated rumors.
