I'm sorry for all decent Jewish people that are being equated with fascist violent mobs, as European politicians blindly claim that showing "solidarity" with these mobs is showing solidarity to Jews.

Once again, like so many times in the recent but also more distant past, these politicians are perpetrating antisemitism by their equation of Israel and especially Israels most vile nationalists with Judaism and Jewish identity. And once again it shows that antisemitism and Zionism go hand in hand and profit from each other.

No.

Just because someone pisses next to the toilet most of the time, doesn't make it "well targeted" if for once he manages to get half of his piss inside the toilet once. And then you are still left with a huge puddle of piss.

Or rather there was still an insane number of civillians murdered and injured.

Also if anything had gone slightly different in the supply chain or Hezbollah had caught wind of it, instead it could have killed 0 Hezbollah and 100% Civillians.

Maybe you heard of Russia sending letter bombs through Europes postal system. That is about the equivalent. It is completely reckless and has no ambitions to reliably target. It is a method of terror and that was the goal above all else.

Fascists storm through your city. They vandalize homes and cars, chant genocidal chants, and beat up your neighbors.

Some people organize to fight back.

You get blamed for being evil as you didn't support the fascists and also footage of the fascists hunting your neighbor are used to accuse you of being evil as you didn't support the fascists.

The government takes side with the fascists and forbids you from protesting while the fascists sing in celebration on their flights home.

Clearly you are at fault for not accepting this. If you had just put your head on the curb for them to stomp it, you could have prevented all of this! You are in the wrong for not letting them beat you up in peace. Now the poor government has a whole mess to deal with, because you didn't just accept being stomped by the fascists. That makes you the one at fault and the wrong one in this story. Don't you know these fascists are superior to you? Why don't you know your place?

As of 22 September 2024, the death toll from the attacks was 42,[7] including at least 12 civilian deaths.[107] More than 3,500 people were injured.[7]

at least 12 people were killed in the first wave of attacks,[1] including civilians such as two health workers,[108][26][109] a 9-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy.[110][111][112] The adult son of Ali Ammar, a Hezbollah member of Parliament was killed;[107] Prime Minister Najib Mikati visited southern Beirut to pay his respects.[24] More than 2,750 people were wounded.[113] In the second wave on 18 September, at least 30 people were killed and 750 others were injured.[5][16] One eye doctor at Mount Lebanon University Hospital reported that a number of those injured showed signs of something being blown up directly in their face, with some losing one or both eyes, while others had shrapnel in their brains.[114][115] The Lebanese health ministry reported that 300 people had lost both eyes and 500 people had lost one eye as a result of the pager attacks.[116] Other doctors saw severe hand, waist and facial injuries, reporting patients with fingers torn, hands amputated, eyes popped out of the socket and facial lacerations.[117]

Health Minister Firass Abiad said the vast majority of those being treated in emergency rooms were in civilian clothing and their Hezbollah affiliation was unclear.[118] He added the casualties included elderly people as well as young children. According to the Health Ministry, healthcare workers were also injured and it advised all healthcare workers to discard their pagers.[119][120] On 26 September, Abdallah Bou Habib, Lebanon's Foreign Minister, confirmed that most of those carrying pagers were not fighters, rather civilians like administrators.[121] Qassim Qassir, a Lebanese expert on Hezbollah,[d] said the attacks mostly struck civilian workers, leaving its military wing largely unaffected.

Also "we love PoC" comes off as quite cynical as they support slaughtering brown people en masse and denied them to even speak about it while still wanting to endorse Harris. Meanwhile the white people whose country is doing the slaughter got a prominent place on stage to talk about their grievances.

While Trump did a lot of shit, i am not sure if we can count the pandemic deaths on his cap. Looking at most European countries, they didn't fare that much better. China with their full crackdown strategy seemed to only have delayed the pandemic to a later point and then just kept lying about their numbers. There is no way that China only had half a million cases.

Sort by "deaths per 1M pop". The only clear indication is that countries that are known to be "poor" have much lower numbers, which probably has to do with a younger population on the one hand and a lack of consistent analysis and data aggregation on the other hand.

Trumps response definitely sucked and less people could have died, but realistically nowhere near the 1 Million. Especially as the US economy is relentless on poor people, so they have to work, no matter what. Anything short of seizing the billionaires wealth to keep the economy afloat would have kept the problem of economy vs. health. And no country did that afaik. For the US it would be unfathomable no matter the administration.

And then you miscalculate your sip, or you have to break suddenly, so you spill hot coffee all over yourself. Now you are in pain and take both hands off the wheel and your eyes off the road, because you want to take your hot clothes away from you.

Voilá you are driving uncontrolledly and are a mortal danger to anyone within the possible paths your car could take for the next ten or so seconds.

I was almost run over by a driver at a crossing who was busy eating fries or something. She clearly didn't know or care to pay attention and drive accordingly. Given her speed i most likely would be dead or in a wheelchair if i hadn't stopped in the middle of the road. I will never forget the stupid expression on her face as she looked back up and didn't bother to slow down.

It doesn't matter the kind of distraction. If you dont have both hands free to operate your car and you have to look at anything except the road and mirrors, you are distracted and have no business of driving. This kind of behaviour should always lead to people getting stopped and at least made to walk the rest of the day, getting longer bans with repeated offenses.
