Maybe these people would be happier moving to a country where their religion is forced down from the government? Maybe go there?

You’re incompatible with western society so change or get the fuck out.

And before anyone jumps down my throat I’m speaking specifically of those who don’t accept that things like freedom of speech includes things they don’t like.

freedom of speech includes blatant disrespect of a religion you're not a part of, got it

Islam is so touchy. Even pointing out Mohammed was a bandit and a pedophile gets them going and that is just straight facts anyone can get from reading about his life.

elbarto777 ,

Religious extremists are the touchy ones. Plenty of Muslim folks who go on with their lives in peace.

I do agree that islamist extremists are the worst.

gravitas_deficiency ,

To be honest, the Nationalist Christians (Nat-C’s) that we have here at home are pretty fucking unsettling. They know that it’s their god-given right to be in charge of everything and they will “save” everyone by trying to force their twisted interpretation of religious texts onto the populace with zero compromise, because “that’s god’s plan”.

They’re just as bad as Islamic extremists; they’re just committing their violence in more official channels and in a slower fashion, up until the day that they manage to get an unshakable hold on power (read: establish a “theocratic” dictatorship, like the Republic of Gilead from Handmaid’s Tale, which they took as an aspirational goal instead of a cautionary story).

This might actually have a Streisand effect, in that many people who were looking to buy an electric car may not have heard of this, and so will now factor this in to their purchasing decisions and pick something else.

I can get the annoyance with how the economy has been... but jeez, what is the real solution here? I can't see much of anything positive coming out of this.

I think the only silver lining will (hopefully) be a whiplash reaction once the authoritarian populists fuck things up enough.

@Kalkaline@leminal.space avatar

Completely indefensible for Hamas to be anywhere near a hospital containing civilians. Completely indefensible for Israel to bomb that hospital. Monsters fighting monsters.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

When elephant fight, the grass suffer.

Cleverdawny ,

If a hospital is being used as a staging point for military forces, it's a legitimate military target. That's why militarizing hospitals is wrong.

Zippit ,

Israel knows it's a war crime but they try to use a loophole by crying out about Hamas tunnels etc.

Under international humanitarian law, hospitals and other medical facilities are considered to be protected civilian objects. Unless they are used for military purposes, they shall be protected at all times and may not be the object of attack.

So that's why they're so happy to show us some 9 rusty old weapons. Witnesses say they stripped and tortured 9 men already inside the hospital... I wanna make a bet here they found shit and are now torturing people to find shit. They blacked out communications so they even dig those tunnels themselves to show us for all we know.

Also I would like to point out that they don't allow outside sources in to confirm, investigate or even verify all their claims. So it's not true until they do that for me personally. I don't care what Daniel from IDF 'claims', I want it verified by unbiased sources.

Cleverdawny ,

So you admit that they are legitimate targets.

Zippit ,

Maybe AFTER there is legitimate proof provided, verified by independent outside sources instead of just 'IDF says.' Nothing they say after the last month of indiscriminate killings will be believed. They're met with the same kind of criticism and disdain the Hamas military brigades get.

Even then, patients and civilians still have the right to be evacuated in a humane way and timespan.

TropicalDingdong , to politics in Advocates argue to disqualify Trump from Colorado ballot over Jan. 6 attack

Yeah this is gonna be a no. They just simply did not come close to proving specific intent, which was what Wallace said she needed to see on day one. You are going to need physical evidence for that. I really think they should have figured out how to get evidence from the GA and FL cases admitted. I think this was not well done.

autotldr Bot , to World News in Arab and Muslim leaders demand immediate end to Gaza war

This is the best summary I could come up with:


RIYADH, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries called on Saturday for an immediate end to military operations in Gaza, rejecting Israel's justification of its actions against Palestinians as self-defence.

Saudi Arabia has sought to press the United States and Israel for an end to hostilities in Gaza, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom's de facto ruler, gathered Arab and Muslim leaders to reinforce that message.

A baby died in an incubator at Gaza's largest hospital after it lost power, and a patient in intensive care was killed by an Israeli shell, the Palestinian health ministry said.

The war has upended traditional Middle East alliances as Riyadh has engaged more closely with Iran, pushed back against U.S. pressure to condemn Hamas, and put on hold its plans to normalise ties with Israel.

Qatar's emir said his country, where several Hamas leaders are based, was seeking to mediate the release of Israeli hostages and hoped a humanitarian truce would be reached soon.

At a press conference in Tel Aviv, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Arab leadership to "stand up against Hamas."


The original article contains 795 words, the summary contains 186 words. Saved 77%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Burn_The_Right ,

While an immediate cease-fire is in order, maybe Saudi Arabia can just shut the fuck up. There is no word they can utter that will improve the situation at all, as usual. Everything they say is manipulation or deception. Saudi Arabia is incapable of good faith discussions or commentary on any topic. Their words can only cause further harm.

Instead, let's have a cease-fire because it's the right thing to do.

Aux ,

Yeah, if there was no Israel, Saudis would bomb Gaza instead. Just for shits and giggles.

Rapidcreek , to politics in Takeaways from the third 2024 Republican presidential debate

Liked it when Nikki Haley called Vivek Ramaswamy scum. It's an apt description.

BUT a year ago, this week, she called for the deportation of U.S.-born Sen. Warnock at a rally to elect MAGA domestic abuser Herschel Walker.

She’s a bigoted extremist like the rest of them.

Nobody ,

Haley looked and sounded good though. She’s the one I’m worried about. I think Biden could easily handle the others. Haley is a legitimate threat.
