I get the impression students in the US get treated sort of younger for longer, e.g their PhD students still attend classes.
Someone that acts confident when they shouldn’t, is colloquially known as a “conman”.
No, that's incorrect.
A "con man" aka Confidence Trickster is a grifter who gains your confidence in order to scam you.
Having false confidence in itself does not mean someone is necessarily a swindler. It could just be that they are delusional or misinformed.
The UN officials aren't saying any of those things. Here's a tldr of the issue
-
The platform is meant to be in Northern Gaza where the worst of the starvation is
-
Israel wants it to be moved south to an Israeli choke point
-
Israel is about to close the crossings in South Gaza so it can attack Rafah
-
If the tiny amount of aid that can come in is able to be diverted to South Gaza then Israel may face less international condemnation over this phase of the Gaza genocide.
Please help me understand why delivering food and medicine to Gaza is bad.
If there is a starving child and you can choose to deliver them the nutrients they need but instead you choose to give them half a peanut instead, in a really theatrical way, that's obviously bad right?
That's what's happening here.
Post pic, I won't marry you but I will say something nice.
That's putting the cart before the horse. You can't say "you have to have conducted a general election before you become a nation state."
That would be like telling a slave they can't become a free person unless they've already got a job that pays them direct wages.
UNRWA also said that its staff had been detained while carrying out their duties in Gaza, being held in the same conditions as the other detainees.
They were interrogated about their work and threatened to make false confessions about the UN agency, including that it had links with Hamas.
Among the forms of torture the UNRWA staff were subjected to were severe beatings, being forced to strip naked, threats of rape and electrocution, threats of violence and murder at gunpoint, attacks by dogs, and threats against the lives of their families.
I don't think you have to "listen to Iran" to know Israel attacked their embassy compound.
Yeah, they do. Some more than others.
The idea that all war happens outside of international law and is always breaking the Geneva conventions is false.
It's something war criminals and their appeasers pretend, to excuse their own actions. Kind of like those rapists who say all of us would rape people if we could get away with it. No, no we wouldn't.
no good guys
Yes there are. Hero doctors and nurses who risk their lives to save civillian patients. Aid workers. World Central Kitchen workers.
That's the side we should be on.
People only think "settler" is some kind of benign word if they grew up being told that colonization by settlers was somehow okay.
Settler colonialism has been brutal everywhere it was carried out. The difference here is they use modern tech - and modern media means we get way more details than in the 19th century.
At this scale that's Ethnic Cleansing.

This news isn't as good as it first appears unfortunately:
So, they're not even shutting down their Abu Ghraib in Sde Teiman, but they're moving the bulk of it to a detention camp called Ofer. Except:
In other words Ofer's already a shit show of human rights abuses as well. They're just shuffling people around their various camps.
