Netanyahu will literally never accept a ceasefire if he isn't forced to do it. The corrupt media keeps painting it as questionable whether he wants one when it's obvious he doesn't. He doesn't want the killing to end and he doesn't want to let Gazans return. Israel is doing ethnic cleansing. Israelis are super open and public about it in Hebrew. It's not a question. It's a certainty. They want to annex Gaza and the West Bank.

 

I used to use the MessagEase keyboard and I would like to add two features:

  1. Swipe "there and back" to select another character
  2. Swipe off and back diagonally on the spacebar to engage Ctrl and/or Alt

Unfortunately, I don't know much about coding this kind of thing. How would I even do it?

You don't need to know another language, but I always recommend learning another language. I'd join a group for comradely language learning

Has nothing to do with Israel's continued effort to hide the fact that lots of dead Israelis were killed by the IDF bombing even their own people indiscriminately

An Israeli social media liar recently told me that Israel has no interest in Gaza and that they would never do a land grab there lmao

It means Netanyahu will never be welcome in Colombia and that he would be subject to arrest if he ever sets foot there. It's a terrific thing, don't be a bummer.

For the record, death with reprieve isn't death. It's "we could have killed you but we're gonna let you live. If you fuck up during the reprieve period, you're a goner"

I gotta be honest, if any country could vote itself into actual socialism, it feels like it would be Ireland lol

I just think seeing a person use a word then jumping to the conclusion that they are the only one to use the word is weird, that's all lol

My wife's grandma is in her 90s, and she remembers the famines before and after the revolution. She's not a party member, but she'll slap your shit if you trash the Party in her presence. She said she remembers being sent to forage for food and finding dead people with their fingers missing because finger meat stays when you starve to death. She remembers how a neighbor would die and then they'd smell meat cooking and everyone knew but nobody said anything.

She also remembers when the Party brought the Revolution to her town and requisitioned all the grain to distribute it and end the famine. The Party saved her life, and she is an avid supporter of it. There's a reason that so many of the generation of Chinese people born to the ones who experienced the famines have super patriotic names.

In summary, yes, there have been horrible famines in China, and yes, the Party's decisions exacerbated one of the worst famines, but the Party still ended famine in a famine-ridden country and that's why the Chinese people support the Chinese government.
