"The mouse, I've been sure for years, limps home from the site of the burning Ferris wheel with a brand-new, airtight plan for killing the cat."-J.D. Salinger

Except Ariel Sharon was found responsible for it and got the moniker the Butcher of Beirut for it

My biggest fear with all of these mining deals theyre getting is that it’s a short leap for them to send detained people there on loan

This has been my new obsession lately! Got dangerously high and was thinking about what if there were not only parallel universes existing at the present moment of ours but also past universes before the Big Bang. It’s a cool thought to think maybe reincarnation is just the continuous collapsing and then expanding of our universe cyclically!

You know-I was thinking more like the Romanovs, but to each their own

“In 1901, Herzl met with the [Ottoman] Sultan to propose that in exchange for a charter in Palestine, he would use his influence as a journalist to alter the negative image of the Ottoman Empire in Europe, which was then reeling from the massacres in Armenia.” Willing to overlook and be good PR for a genocidal state bc the “ends justify the means” says A LOT about a state and its moral compass from the get go

What have you specifically done for any of these causes, oh great one?

Seems like the conversation stayed exactly on the same track, but whatever you say. I chose that book specifically because it references Western media (chose the word specially because there were other players in the game before America became the main benefactor)

No man, but this post isn’t about that. I can feel things about and support many causes. Would it have been better if this post was a collection of the conditions of all people suffering genocides? You’re being obstinate and contrarian and mad because people think it’s a bad take. No it’s not the only genocide. No it’s not the only bad thing. Largely seems like you don’t care too greatly about those things either (other than as fodder for your minimization of solidarity with this post)

In decades past it would’ve still been the Palestinians, but the Western media didn’t cover it at all (or if they did it was from the perspective of the Israelis). Thanks for proving my point!

You should check out the book Violent Truce by EH Hutchinson for more. Firsthand account from a US military observer from the 1950s. Might make you understand a little better about the necessity of putting eyes on these types of things

Idk bringing eyes to a situation that typically has been downplayed or mostly silent from the POV of Palestinians to an uninformed Western audience is a good step imo

That kind of debate and those points are best made when the situations affecting the civilian population are not dire. The completely imbalanced and disproportional response combined with the dire circumstances currently being experienced are what should be the focus at this point

In good news, I had something similar (if not possibly the same thing) happen to me. 2012 Hyundai Sonata. Engine started knocking and had gotten routine inspections and oil changes, they paid for the repairs and got the life time warranty. Just traded it in with 200,000 miles after that happened around 90,000
