even though its own membership of the UN was made conditional upon Palestinian refugees being allowed to return to their homes and land.

Did anyone actually try to enforce that condition?

I read "finish up" as in "kill them all" not "stop".

This has the same energy as destroying confederate general statues. Good on them.

I appreciate the sentiment, but calling October 7th a "holocaust" causes more problems than it solves. The Israeli propaganda machine has been active as soon as the attack started to make Hamas look worse than they already are (which is still pretty bad to be fair, but not "Holocaust" bad).

Thanks to Israel using people who weren't qualified for the job the numbers will never come to light, but let's not forget that a significant number of IDF civilians were killed by the IDF, not Hamas.

The company also faced pressure from pro-Palestine groups who said that Ben & Jerry’s should go further and stop selling its products in Israel as well. However, at the same time, Ben & Jerry’s parent company Unilever swiftly moved to force the company to continue to do business with the Israeli occupation, selling its Israeli operation to a local businessman.

They basically did.

If anyone is still wondering why Hamas and other resistance factions are fighting, this is what happens when the IDF wins.

19000+ as of 4 days ago, and this is the minimum number since it only includes people Gazan hospitals physically counted.

Never thought I'd agree with Zelensky about something related to Israel. Ukraine deserves aid much more than Israel.

This is the civilian population. Settlers are civilians.

Uh... The best case scenario is two smaller cars. Riding a bigger car to protect yourself is not only extremely selfish, but entirely counterproductive as you encourage other people to do the same. This is very much a tragedy of the commons situation.

Why do mines hate being stepped on?

It's triggering for them.
