Israel’s United Nations ambassador displayed a yellow star on his chest Monday as he addressed the Security Council, provocatively pledging to wear the badge until members of the body condemn Hamas “atrocities”.

His wearing of the badge, which has come to symbolise the oppression of Jews since its imposition in Nazi-occupied Europe, was swiftly criticised by Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial, which urged him to wear the Israeli flag instead.

All that stuff sounds very smashable for instagram likes. Of course, “it’s just a prank bro”.

What’s it for? Is it supposed to look like a worm/grub?

Israel dropped 6000 bombs in one week, on an area much smaller… More children have died in the first 25 days of the current Israeli conflict than in a year of the war on Ukraine.

Israel is really good at misinformation, disinformation, information warfare and controlled narratives.

It’s a religious holy war, nothing else… And it’s irrational because of it.

Religion has darkened politics for the past decade in particular ways. In America it’s shown Christians will support fascism. In the middle east it’s showing Jews will do as well…

…religion is the root cause. Anyone over there is there for religious reasons. I think perhaps it would be best if, whenever peace is achieved, the secularist west nuke the entire area, with a particular focus on long term irradiation of all holy sites. This version of humanity in the current era can’t handle organised religion, and it needs to be prohibited with an automatic means of early death. It needs to be made abstract and reasonable… and only the irrationality or nuclear irradiation can be its metaphorical equal.

Nuke religion. Nuke religious wars. Irradiated holy sites.

They’re saying this just 70 - 80 years too late.

I feel like, he’s afraid?

Twitter being ruined by Musk.

Reddit switching limiting other apps, and now blocking google.

YouTube detecting ad blockers.

Strange choices.

Yeah, but like with anything in life - if you keep encountering the same problem over and over again, you should probably consider your own approach to be a factor in the process.

So sure, there probably are vindictive editors, but if it’s a reoccurring theme, then something else might be at fault.

Depends whether your edits are consistently bad enough that they’re reverted every time.

If so, then yeah, you shouldn’t be editing Wikipedia.

Three religions pitted against each other, and not one of them for a moment is like “maybe this is a test to see if we can get along peacefully?”

God must be spinning in his grave rn.

The wealth gap is a national security issue, as repeatedly demonstrated by people like Elon Musk, and Jared Kushner, but also by many billionaire funded conservative think tanks.

Edit: I say conservative think tanks because progressive think tanks tend to be more benevolent in their aims.

It’s known that their hospital system has servere levels of over crowding, and the article states both that:

The video shows cots, blankets, and other personal belongings on the grassy area. Taken together, these two videos indicate that it was likely occupied by people who were resting or sleeping there at the time of the explosion.

And that:

Other images from the parking lot of the hospital show widespread damage to vehicles in the parking lot, including one that was flipped over onto its roof. Another vehicle nearby shows signs of extensive damage, while others show evidence that they were engulfed in flames.

…an over crowded space, babies in cots, with an explosion large enough to flip a car, near one of the few areas with grass soft enough to sleep on.

Plus a fire.

Plus due a hospital low on supplies, low on water, in need of emergency power… Could probably kill hundreds, and cause the death of more.

If the hospital had some structural damage as well. Could probably do plenty of killing. The article doesn’t nominate a number, so I can’t speak to your source on that.

If you know the policies and how to find your way around Wikipedia, and are certain that you’re right - you can generally have the truth prevail (as long as you have reliable sources backing up your claims).

The real trick is to know the policies and where to complain that they’re not being upheld. In your case you should goto the BLP noticeboard, and ask for an uninvolved editor’s help in figuring out how to, or whether the information should be added.

This generally gets others interested in advocating for the truth.

A certain attempt at symbolism there.

He gets advice from his dogs, who talk to him, in the past he was under the belief that when some of his dogs were together - they formed the spirit of Jesus.

Not even joking… Oh he was also a tantric sex coach, and supports Trump.

I’m disabled and live among farms with no immediate public transport… I don’t think other countries should try this. If I couldn’t afford a car, I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere.
