Yes it has the right to defend its people. But it must act civilised, not ignoring Geneva Conventions blocking water, food, medicines for 2.3 mil civilians and flattening Gaza.

Well, I was complaining about German media, not CNN, Haaretz, Guardian. But to give you two examples: the whole discussion about why Candice Breitz was cancelled or why the city of Munich tried to cancel a talk of israeli historian Ilan Pap

Do you read news? Why did the pope condemn the shooting of two Christian women in a church in Gaza? And can you please stop insulting me? Apparently what I am saying is the IDF does not care if civilians are killed. And I am saying they del

Withholding water, food, medicines for 2.3mil civilians for over 75 days, 1.1 mil children has nothing to do with fighting the enemy. It is only targeting civilians of whom thousands have died. And this is not collateral damage. It is inten

Meron Mendel says[1] that German reporting on Israel is more sensitive compared to the USA. Criticism of the government is clearly expressed, but he thinks it's _very unlikely that images of killed children from Gaza are printed_. Axel

Well, if you follow ther IHRA's definition of antisemitism that says "criticism of the state of Israel is considered antisemtic". Germany adopted that. But there are other definitions of antisemtism. The jerusalem declaration

In Germany, Twitter is one of few ways to get informed about the war in Gaza. - German media completely ignores the horrors happening there. And attacks intellectuals like Masha Gessen, cancels others like Ilan Pappe, Judith Butler, Candice

Ah, and you mean when Netanyahu „displaying a ‘map of Israel’ that straddles the entire land from the river to the sea, negating Palestine and its people“[0], it‘s in good faith, but when the Palestinians chant „from the river to the see“,

Ah, so it‘s why Palestinians are dying by the thousands, because they don’t have Iron Dome then.

Don‘t be a fool. Read books by Ilan Pappe, Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, and you’ll realise it’s the total opposite. Israel has killed 6400 Palestinians prior to 7/10 in 15 years. On the other hand around 300 Israelis were killed.

There is no need for Russian/Iranian propaganda bots. Israel does that already for them: Seeing how Israel tries to defeat Hamas by withholding water, food, electricity, medicines for 2.2mil civilians in Gaza or by using genocidal lang

That is my observation as well. In Germany many right wing groups who have deep seated antisemitic prejudices („they control the world, they want to exchange our white population“, etc) now fully express their hate against arabs / migr

Well, that’s not a fair comparison. Palestinians may have a lot of muslims on their side, but the whole western world—-or more precisely: their media and people in power—-fully support anything Israel does. No consequences. Au contraire: Lo

The moment you spend more time tinkering tools instead of doing work, you obviously lost control. But even that’s too much. I believe you shouldn’t be spending 10% of your daily work time on tinkering tools. That’s an hour out of an 8h work

Wow that’s a lot of work to avoid paying 10is dollars a month? I use ad blockers everywhere, but for me it’s „set it and forget it“. I don’t have time and energy to adjust that regularly.

Well, you can navigate with the help of the sun. And keep sane having some sort of structure (when to wake up, when to go to bed, when to eat), monitor tidal changes. There is lots of value in knowing the time, even on a desert island.

I highly recommend Mickey Petterson's book on Emacs. Despite using Emacs for over a decade, I discovered invaluable insights from his guide. Currently, I rely on VS Code for coding, but turn to Emacs for text editing, macros, and text

Reminds me of the "Werther Effect," a phenomenon where the publicity of suicides leads to a spike in suicide rates, particularly when reported in a sensationalist manner. - If the same principle applies to traffic crashes, then it
