No, this is propaganda - every MSM outlets appends that biased "disclaimer" to every story they run on Gaza. Do they append "according to US-backed Israel" when parroting Israeli propaganda verbatim? No. And still, the U

Going by Israeli TV, Telegram channels and polls, unfortunately it really does seem like a large proportion of Israelis think of Palestinians as sub-human bugs to be crushed. Already we've seen settlers building an "outpost"

And yet, months on and numerous false claims later, I've yet to see see any credible evidence of a large, undergroud Hamas facility.

Because once they leave, Israel won't allow them back.

And when has there been a shred of credible evidence to suggest such a thing?

> They did do that to Gaza in 2005. That is how we arrived at the current situation. No, they didn't "do that to Gaza" - Israel has kept Gaza under a brutal blockade, by air, land and sea. Israel kept the place like an ope

> Destroying Hamas is a pipe dream - the famine, death, and destruction they are pereptrating in Gaza today will, inevitably, create a new wave of terrorism, whether it's called "Hamas" or something else, as it always has

Funny thing is, since this all kicked off I've seen several photos and videos clearly showing Israeli soldiers using civilians, including children, as human shields. I haven't seen any evidence of Hamas doing anything like this;

With everything going on in Germany surrounding Ukraine/Russia and Israel/Gaza, I have to wonder if this is sarcasm?

Seriously, this is how the BBC "reports" on anything related to Israel/Gaza - with heavy bias. The mainstream media is complicit, and I honestly don't know how anyone can ever trust them again after the ongoing Israeli g

This is totally absurd, nothing more than a disgusting publicity stunt - "see, we're the good guys!". A plane can airdrop something like 25 tons at a time - a single lorry can hold more than that, and Gaza needs hundreds

If I understand correctly, MOND is suggesting that gravity behaves differently at sufficiently large scale (galactic), similar to how we observe different physics at a quantum level?

I use Firefox on mobile every day (with uBlock Origin and Tampermonkey extensions), and I don't recall it ever crashing on me. Pixel 6a, and a Xiaomi thing previously.

Many are switching to vaping these days, which produces far less odour, and what little there is dissipates quickly. Vapour also doesn't stick to fabrics, walls etc like smoke does - it's just superior to smoking in every way.

Huh, I'm very happy with Firefox. Been using it, and Chrome, for several years now - I much prefer Firefox, but I'm kind of curious what you prefer about Chrome?

I think the reality is that it's a mix - but people tend to follow others with similar views.

Not sure if Iran is the best example; the US, UK and Israel have made sure that Iran hasn't exactly had a "fair go" at it.

I believe they are used to irradiate cannabis too (to kill mould & yeast) - electron-bean irradiation retains much more terpenes than gamma irradiation does!

Erm... most people in the UK do not have more money coming in to make up for that at all. Plus, tax band thresholds have been stagnant for over a decade - so we're hit with a double whammy of massive inflation, plus tax threshold inf

I totally agree that the "normalisation" of Islamophobia is concerning, and the rise since last October is particularly alarming... but the GP didn't mention Islam at all - they were clearly making a blanket statement about a
