Arterial, tiny bubbles cause strokes. Venous, giant bubbles cause air emboli.

Sometimes there’s connections that shouldn’t be there that can cause venous bubbles to cross over and be a problem.

It’s an interesting article, but it’s not an exhaustive look at the situation. Look buddy- the article is from the point of an American, and proscribes American actions that should be taken. While that is interesting, it doesn’t touch nearly at all on what the current parties should do (vis a vis Hamas and Israel) and it doesn’t apply ANY scrutiny to Hamas or suggest any actions they should take.

It’s not that it’s not an insightful piece, but it’s POV is limited, and can’t be applied generally.

A loss for words is still a loss.

It’s a shame, really. Not that the herd here will care- but I have always been a liberal. For 20 years I’ve voted democratic and pushed for understanding. But things are changing- have changed. We’ve polarized to the point of absurdism, arguing that one atrocity is ok and the other is not solely on the parties involved. We’ve bathed so much in the incestuous pond of cable media and internet misinformation that anything that isn’t exactly “party line” is dismissed and derided.

Currently, the line is perceived power is ultimate evil- that everyone with it is by definition a victimizer everyone without is by definition a victim. In this paradigm, the Jews, ironically, are the colonialists and can do no good, while Hamas can do no wrong. Reality is rarely so black and white.

This is no justification of Netanyahu administration. But equivocating here is wrong. Hamas started the war with capturing, raping, and murdering innocents, and wants to avoid repercussions by hiding behind their own civilians. We should be able to denounce evil where it lies- with those who caused the war. Want to end the war? Call for Hamas to surrender.

Don’t be an ass. Your claim was I was spreading misinformation because hamas never said that 500 people died, and was a product of western media. This isn’t what your article argues, rather that dead might have been mistranslated from injured. The core thrust of my argument remains the same- data supplied by Hamas is suspect, at best.

Again, if you’re able, explain your argument.

You can’t articulate your argument. That’s on you, bud.

Your response is nothing but theatrics and exaggeration. The US worse than North Korea, where no free will or choice exists? Or how about china, with ongoing Uyghur concentration camps? Or nazi Germany and the holocaust?

This is not to say the US is blameless- it’s to say that there are degrees of evil- and founding your organization on the death of someone else puts you at bottom of the barrel, by default.

This is not a one sided situation. Hamas is diverting fuel from hospitals to store for their war needs. If Hamas didn’t take civilian fuel the hospitals wouldn’t be out of it. This makes them at least partially responsible, no?

Not sure what you mean?

I read the article and it didn’t say what you said it says.

Having read the supplied article, the author has no information except that kills might be mistranslated. Not to get into the weeds, but it doesn’t dispute the source, nor does it offer more credible information.

And as a rule of thumb- a single dude publishing a substack doesn’t deserve more credibility than a long time news source. Not that the article supplies and information that might be argued- the whole point is that he didn’t get any information.

I’m just saying. Hamas is a terrorist organization known for lying. They have a clear reason to do so here, and the evidence suggests they are in fact lying. This isn’t to justify a war, it’s to say that they are misleading here.

Make sure you pay for them with your CC and home address so the karma can come around more quickly.

You’re trying to justify theft.

No joke, we used to visit every year growing up. Then a lot of years past and I had kids of my own I took last year- it’s disheartening.
