Tire wear on EVs has more to do with the weight of your right foot than the curb weight of the vehicle. The high torque of EVs results in frequent wheel slippage for those eager to pull away from traffic lights quickly. Just like with high

Apologies, that was for the week ending September 30, only 695 had been killed at that stage in the West Bank. The week ending October 10 has the 719 figure for the full 365 days: https://www.ochaopt.org/content/humanit

Since 1948, on average, the IDF has killed 10x as many Palestinians that Israelis killed. Since October 7th, that is at least 60x.

Gaza is dependent on Israel's permission. Food aid is provided by the UN and other humanitarian organisations, they require Israel's permission to bring that aid into Gaza and not attack it (n.b. attempts since 2010 to deliver aid

By "it" do you mean the genocide, let them finish it? Let them forcibly displace the population to the "humanitarian city" camp, or push them beyond the border, then we can ask questions.

Sorry, what?! Everywhere? If you're referring to October 7th, the Irish do not condone what happened and were appalled. And to be clear, the Irish have only ever blamed the British for what the British did in Ireland.
