You kinda sound like a bot. I didn’t ask any questions

It is well know that isreal supported hamas to weaken the Palestinian authority.
https://www.politico.eu/article/israel-funded-hamas-claims-eu-top-diplomat-josep-borrell/ That’s just one link. You can find many others, even ones predating the current situation. So your full stop is more like a california roll at best. The world has very few absolutes.

Did you read what I wrote? Seems like you are just looking for someone to argue with. If I attack a guy and he pulls out a gun and shoots me, he still committed murder, but I share some of the blame. It’s not just one or the other. In the middle east it is more like Isreal goaded hamas into attacking it, then pulled out a bazooka instead of a gun. Hamas gets the blame for attacking civilians, and for knowing it would cost it’s own civilian lives. Also for letting Isreal goad them into it. Isreal gets the blame for everything they are doing in response, which is of course a lot more. Anyone intentionally targeting civilians is simply not okay.

Are you replying to the right comment. No one on this comment thread has said that there wasn’t large scale destruction or that any of this was okay.

Sadly they certainly helped. And very likely Isreali agents encouraged and supported them to do it. There are certainly power hungry people in hamas who saw this as an opportunity to increase their power at the expense of their people. Just like the Israeli politicians are openly doing now. And American politicians… and… These people pit two sides against each other for thier own personal gain and to stop the people from seeing the real enemy. Been like this for centuries…

See the thing is you are scribing to all Americans what the media shows you. The media makes money on extremes. So they hand pick who’s opinion you here. Hardly anyone I know here in America actually demanded the deaths of Muslims and Arabs at all. It was still too many, but far from what the media would have you believe.

He/she didn’t blame them, they asked what was their plan. One can twist the words to make a pointless statement. Or one could choose to provide some background that might actually bring the commenter to your side. Help the cause by informing.

Let me correct that for you. It should be: Yes, though I agree you can also see some places where houses were leveled by bulldozer.

The angle the photos were taken from are also different. That increases the appearance of devastation beyond what is actually there. This image is an intention exaggeration of something that was already unacceptable. Doing so erodes confidence in information about the things happening there. Who knows, maybe this was even created by the IDF for that purpose.

I just don’t like soap operas, whatever the form. My kid does though.

Yeah, I don’t know if I would go as far as to say they aren’t happy. Seems more like never satisfied to me.

Pretty much. Though from things I have read they are more likely to be competition addicts. Gambling would be one way to compete with others. But yeah, honestly, I wouldn’t want to be them. I consider most of them mentally ill.

Humans are wired to cooperate mainly if it helps them compete. Basically they cooperate more than any other animal. But cooperation is a means to the end of out competing other groups. That said, there doesn’t seem to be any hard science either way, so this is just my opinion, and your opinion holds equal value.

In this case that is a distinction without a difference. People are still dieing.

The real question is how do you define best system. I bet those billionaires think this is in fact a pretty good system. Though they are probably never satisfied, so they wouldn’t say best until they could snap thier fingers and a million people would start working to make whatever idea popped into thier head happen.

He did say “one could say”. And I imagine an argument could be made. I would love to see either side of it with some data. It would be interesting. Like one could talk about how bill gates has poured money into Africa that might not have gone there otherwise. And then the response could outline how the money was taken out of Africa to make the billionaires, though I am not sure if Microsoft makes a lot of money in Africa our not. And I would love to have an informed rebuttal for my own use.

We would need a fundamental DNA shift in the population to get rid of money. Humans are wired to compete with each other.

Well, death by malnutrition is what they call it. But it does still happen in the US. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-04-13/deaths-from-malnutrition-have-more-than-doubled-in-the-u-s

That said… the USA is just a small part of society.

So here is one of the pages I read… https://linux-gaming.kwindu.eu/index.php?title=Should_you_switch_to_Linux_gaming%3F I saw similar sentiment in other places as well. Sounds like you are saying this isn’t the majority opinion?

Overall, I have a strong dislike for apple in general, and I won’t take a job where I have to work with windows ever again unless I am desperate. And I am also getting very tired of Microsoft’s bs. But I don’t want my main home pc to be a project either. I already use Firefox and a vpn. But every time some page doesn’t work right I have to turn off the vpn, and try chrome before I know the problem is on thier end. And it usually isn’t, well other than not supporting firefox and a vpn, but these are banks or doctors offices, I don’t have a lot of choice in most of them. There is only so much of that I am willing to do on my main home pc. But overall, I would like to be part of the solution, as long as I am a target user, which from what I have read, I am not.

Nice. My info was from googling using Linux as a home pc. So it may be a gate keeping attitude or it may be fact. I don’t want to fight with my home pc that just browser the web and plays games. Oh… I guess it runs turbotax in april.
