I have a few friends from Taiwan who don't speak much English either and sometimes struggle to articulate what they are wanting to say or mean, so this is a common thing for many who don't have some form of English as their first language.
Amnesty International having a normal one again.
This is why many Jews and Israeli's don't trust a lot of NGO's and "humanitarian organizations" they don't seem to consider us human.
Just look at the history of the Red Cross during WW2. Look at the poster that was shameless handed out at the NGO World Conference Against Racism in 2001. Look at the blatant double-standard against Israel by the UN. And let's not get into how UNRWA, a organization of the UN, is actively funding and committing terrorism.
So according to what I’ve been able to find, Daqqa wasn’t convicted of the murder himself, but of leading the group that abducted, tortured, and murdered this Israeli soldier, Taman. Apparently this conviction was obtained at a lower standard of proof than Israeli criminal court under older, military rules…which depending on your perspective is either chilling or rather ordinary (whether or not you agree with it) for a nation that is at war.
All of that is, for the purposes of considering Amnesty International, neither here nor there. If Daqqa is guilty, then I can’t say I regard his death as any sort of injustice. If you torture and murder a nation’s soldiers, even IF your cause was just, it’s hardly shocking if they do violence to you in turn, such as imprisonment. If he was innocent, then it’s awful he died in prison-I can’t find reporting that gives me insight into the evidence against him.
But what’s telling about Amnesty International is that their press releases discuss none of this. Daqqa was ‘Palestinian writer’. If you go by just their remarks, Israel imprisoned him as a writer. Which is…well. ‘Misleading’ is charitable. That’s AI for you: dishonest at best. Taken in context with lots of other stuff, it’s considerably worse.
Even if he was guilty he still had inviolable human rights-the fact that he's definitely burning in Hell if he was actually guilty plays no part in that. But you can tell quite easily that that's not the angle Amnesty International is going for, given how they spent that entire paragraph lamenting what they were portraying as unjust imprisonment without ever mentioning what he'd been imprisoned for.
>So according to what I’ve been able to find, Daqqa wasn’t convicted of the murder himself, but of leading the group that abducted, tortured, and murdered this Israeli soldier, Taman.
It's one thing to do it yourself. It's actually worse if you lead a bunch of people to do it.
Also, the first half of the article (archive) goes on and on about how Israel allegedly tortured this guy, but doesn't mention how the group allegedly tortured a soldier, just "abducted and killed" him.
And they put that part in the second half, after they've primed the reader to think of this murderer as a victim.
Followed by fluff about his ties to the Palestinian community, how he acted as a mentor to children.
Call me crazy, but I wouldn't want a torturer and murderer to be a mentor to my kids.
AA is pretty bad about that, one of their articles about this demons death they talk about him needing a 'compassionate release' so he could go get treatment for the cancer that ultimately killed him.
Israel has some of the best cancer specialists in the world, and they obviously are not opposed to having them treat terrorists being held on a life sentence.
The world needs to go back to using the death penalty as someone like THIS doesn't deserve to live and those in whatever nation someone is serving life in prison for is paying to take care of these people. Part of the reason taxes are so high and why the hell should we have to take care of them, if it was going to help pay to help those with addiction issues who are trying to get clear or to help those with mental health issues or to help the homeless get on their feet or to help veterans or something that is a worthy cause than I'd be down for that.
UM WE FORGOT THE OTHER TWO

A lot of us would agree with him, myself included
I ended up laughing over this, and I don't know if I should feel bad or not for the fact I laughed
bro what the fuck lmfao. funniest possible thing to say for absolutely no reason
sure why not. new canon
He clearly has dementia as my nana and papa (maternal grandparents) both have it, this is beyond scary we have someone who is unfit in every way possible "running" our country
How many times must Hamas be proven (or admit to be in this case) to be lying for pro-palestine idiots to understand you can't trust terrorists and they've been spoonfed a false version of these events by the media in Gaza since the start?
Bold of you to assume they won't just call it a Zionist trick of some sort. Never underestimate the difficulty involved in removing someone's head from their own ass after they've evolved the ability to breathe their own farts.
Never trust ANYTHING extremists say or claim, they can't be trusted it is that simple. After everything that has happened when it comes to religion biased bullshit that has led to bloodshed, I can't understand how everyone doesn't already know the drill and want to bring people like this down so we can all finally have peace and religious extremism can finally end. As too many people worldwide have been enslaved, tortured, killed and had their traditional cultures either almost completely destroyed or it was destroyed. I have Native American on my mom's side so I have a huge ancestorial grudge with people like this.
It’s somehow more jarring to see Elton in black than Johnny in pink.
My favorite part is how Johhny can't stop swooshing the cape and playing with it, that's adorable XDDD

I actually do fish on rare occasions and understand when the water level if low, you will have a lot more problems as you will snag weeds and other things instead of fish. Shallow water isn't the best area to ever fish, good place to look for things like frogs though.

Adult dinner.
Healthy and complete no need to fuss about them, adults can eat what they want.
This is healthy snacking to me to be honest as I have a chronic medical condition that makes it hard for me to gain weight and to keep weight on me, so I'm extremely over weight as I eat far too little than I should be. Lots of factors go into how much one should be eating, metabolism and a medical condition like ulcerative colitis (the medical condition I have) play key roles into to among other things. So something like this could be seen as unhealthy for some, so if you are worried about the amount of food you need to eat talk to your doctor along with a nutritionist if necessary. As you should never just think a certain type of diet or eating lifestyle would work for you and be safe, as it will most likely do more harm than good.

This is his article in the Atlantic, which describes Hamas stealing aid and selling it to starving Gazans.
Hamas is the enemy of peace and does not give a shit about Palestinians.
I want to believe this, but unfortunately I don't. Not the bit about Hamas stealing aid and selling it. Hamas is evil and evil people do evil things on the daily. But I don't believe that most, or even many, Gazans want peace with Israel. They may hate Hamas because Hamas is actively oppressing them right now, but they hate Israel just as much, if not more. The actions of the "palestinian" people, over the last 80 years but especially since 10/7/23, have shown the exact opposite of a widespread desire for peaceful coexistence with their Jewish neighbors.
^^^ Exactly my opinion.
As long as all the nations where Islam is the primary religion continue to side with and allow extremists like Hamas, ISIS, the Iranian government, etc. to continue to do what has been going on for over 2,000 years, refuse to denounce them and refuse to work together along side Israel who keeps dealing with these extremist bastards time and again on getting rid of them. Nothing will change and everyone who is siding with Palestine, who is blaming Israel for all of this and wants Israel destroy can shut the fuck up. The Jewish people have been dealing with this sort of bullshit for far to long and it is one of the oldest religions that still exists from ancient times and it was the Christians and Muslims who are the colonists and are the ones who have done horrific things, not the Jews who have been in the middle-east (with the exclusion of Egypt) from the biggening and who try to live as peacefully as possible and only fight back against those who attack them such as Palestine and Iran.
Hamas just released its proposal for a permanent ceasefire. Israel has dismissed all of their proposals as “unrealistic” — and that has been echoed across the U.S. corporate media.
Here are the actual proposals from each side.
Now look at the history of Hamas with ceasefires. Hint: They don't actually cease firing.
Hilarious how easy people fall for propaganda. And pathetic.
Hasn't Hamas violated at least one ceasefire since October 7th?
Haven't they been throwing rockets at Israeli civilians since 2001?
Aren't many Palestinian prisoners of Israel criminals and militants, while Israeli prisoners of Hamas are heavily people kidnapped by Hamas?
Why exactly should anyone believe this isn't just desperation and propaganda? Why should Israel suddenly trust the folks who have spent decades murdering Israelis in cold blood?
They were firing rockets before the ink dried on the last one, few stabbings I think, and the final straw was shooting innocent people at a bus stop. Oh and the whole October 7 was a violation of a cease fire I'm sure, which there'd been bunches of those beforehand that weren't really enough to kick off full scale war again. I think the only time Israel has fired the first shots in a war was one the initiated with Egypt in the 70's and it was a preemptive strike iirc.
and
Aren't many Palestinian prisoners of Israel criminals and militants, while Israeli prisoners of Hamas are heavily people kidnapped by Hamas?
Yes, lots of them are serving life sentences for murdering innocent people, but it's not like hamass considers Jews people so they don't see it that way.
Why people keep believing these religious extremist terrorists after everything they've been doing for decades is beyond me. If the civilians in Palestine are suffering so badly than the only way they can live a peaceful life is to join forces with Israel and help irradicate Hamas and other groups like them. Otherwise they are getting everything they deserve for siding with people like Hamas, after all the sins of the father (in this case government and the men adult men of the families) will be visited upon the children (in other words literally the children of them men of Hamas and those siding with them plus the civilians)
oh big speckled paws we're really in it now
They are such beautiful creatures, I always enjoy the footage that wildlife photographers and researchers get on them in the wild.
tw: rape/sa
iof soldiers held women in the vicinity of al shifa hospital and they raped them and forced their husbands/families to watch. and anyone who closed their eyes got threatened that they'd be shot. they raped a pregnant woman in front of her husband and child. the word monsters doesn't even come CLOSE to describing these lowlife animals. this is pure sexual sadism. AND THE WORLD IS STAYING SILENT. wanna know why? because palestinians are not white. the world would be up in flames. hell, the media was OUTRAGED at the alleged news of "40 beheaded babies" when there was literally no evidence of it (there is still none, mind you). there are hundreds of thousands of videos and photos from palestinian journalists that are posted everyday documenting the war crimes committed against them. and yet apparently it's all fake. hypocrisy at its best.
Fun fact… this story is made up.
Even Hamas themselves had to admit that the story was fake:
Sorry guys, but Hamas lies.
I doubt op or any of the Pro-Pals who reblogged this are going to bother retracting it now that the story was proven a lie. XD
Oh what a shock a religious extremist terrorist group that are a bunch of chauvinistic misogynists lied. Why anyone would be stupid enough to trust anything people like Hamas or who side with them is beyond me. As there is a long track record from groups like Hamas to lie among other things, but yet we got a ton of idiots running around buying their nonsense. Easy to see why the world keeps having so much happen, god is beyond pissed over all this continuing to go on.
This going up after all your damn Michael Gavey fics [and I love everyone of them].
We all know the only reason why that had to be put up is because someone got busted doing just that
Trump 😂
The planet is going to keep changing no matter what we do, if people are so worried about it. Than all there people who keep making an ungodly fuss need to shut the fuck up and put their money towards reforestation and cleaning up the trash in the lakes, rivers, ocean and other bodies of water. But they don't and are actually doing nothing to actually help.
