  1. A patriotic anthem released on North Korean state TV in April has unexpectedly gone viral on TikTok, where Western Gen Z users are bopping around to the synthy-electro hit. The tune describes leader Kim Jong Un as "warm-hearted" and "friendly". Songs about Kim Jong Un and the ruling Workers' Party of Korea are broadcast regularly in North Korea. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-68941178
  2. Like I said, the BBC was there reporting right from the beginning with its own staff. Your new claim that there is "abusive posting of propaganda" is you again making inflammatory accusations so yes a good idea that when that's all of you've got, to excuse yourself until another day.
  3. Stumped and can't manage anything on topic so you opt for personal insults.
  4. It is reported in western msm therefore it’s the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I get it. No, you don't get it. You're just making things up again
  5. Absolutely need a deadline on this otherwise Hamas will just carry on dragging it as it has since it broke the last deal end of Nov last year! Hamas Must Strike Deal Within Week or Rafah Ground Offensive Will go ahead with a ground operation, Egyptian officials involved in ongoing negotiations said on May 2. The current proposal — drafted by the United States and Egypt and accepted by Israel — is awaiting approval from Hamas’s Gaza chief, Yahya Sinwar. Hamas said on May 3 that it is sending a delegation to Egypt to review the deal “as soon as possible” and is expected to arrive in Cairo on May 4. CIA director Bill Burns, who is leading Washington’s effort, has already arrived. According to The Washington Post, Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh told Egyptian Intelligence Minister Maj. Gen. Abbas Kamel that the deliberations were moving forward with a “positive spirit.” Hamas is demanding that Israel fully withdraw from Gaza and permanently end the war. During his most recent visit to the region on May 1, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the “only reason that [this ceasefire] wouldn’t be achieved is because of Hamas.” https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/05/03/hamas-must-strike-deal-within-week-or-rafah-ground-offensive-will-begin-israel-signals/
  6. Back to the here and now and the topic at hand. The full details of the proposed ceasefire agreement are published. The one everyone is waiting on Hamas to reply to, in the link below. A Lebanese media outlet published on May 1 the purported text of the Egyptian-proposed ceasefire agreement that Hamas is considering.[i] The reported proposal addresses all of Hamas’ maximalist demands except for a permanent ceasefire.[ii] Hamas would not likely adhere to a permanent ceasefire, however, given that Hamas has violated previous ceasefires and that Hamas remains committed to destroying Israel.[iii] https://www.criticalthreats.org/analysis/iran-update-may-2-2024
  7. WASHINGTON, May 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Friday it would stop reporting or monitoring COVID-19 case data and transmission rates after the government ends the pandemic's public health emergency designation next week. The agency will stop using its color-coded COVID-19 Community Levels (CCL) system, which relies on those metrics to track the spread of the virus and will instead primarily rely on hospital admission data. The government on May 11 will end the COVID-19 public health emergency that allowed millions of Americans to receive vaccines, tests, and treatments at no cost during the pandemic. "The changes that we're discussing today are happening because the end of the Public Health Emergency means that CDC will have less authority to collect certain types of public health data," said CDC Principal Deputy Director Dr. Nirav Shah. https://web.archive.org/web/20230505164728/https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/cdc-scale-back-data-collection-us-ends-covid-health-emergency-2023-05-05/ https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/cdc-scale-back-data-collection-us-ends-covid-health-emergency-2023-05-05/
  8. Covid lessons remain unlearned as avian flu infects cattle, hospitals say Dairy cows in nine states are infected and hospitals are looking to the government for guidance. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/02/hospitals-on-avian-flu-outbreak-00155540
  9. First one officially announced in the US Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus Infection in a Dairy Farm Worker Published May 3, 2024 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMc2405371 Sporadic human infections with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) virus, with a wide spectrum of clinical severity and a cumulative case fatality of more than 50%, have been reported in 23 countries over more than 20 years.1 HPAI A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b viruses have spread widely among wild birds worldwide since 2020–2021,2,3 resulting in outbreaks in poultry and other animals.2 Recently, HPAI A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b viruses were identified in dairy cows, and in unpasteurized milk samples, in multiple U.S. states.4,5 We report a case of HPAI A(H5N1) virus infection in a dairy farm worker in Texas. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2405371
  10. Well I could go into complex issue with you but it would be on the historical topic not this one.
  11. Wait a minute, you said the IDF is just as unreliable as the other source, how do you know what, do you even know the other source?
  12. IDF is the direct source. How is it just as unreliable as the other source?
  13. You carry on with false information, from Nov: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-middle-east-67333418
  14. I read that before, the article I supplied was a clarification to the false claims by your link which remain B.S.
  15. BBC Was there reporting right from the beginning with its own staff
  16. No its not the only one. BBC is just one of others who had reporters there working away from IDF inbeds
  17. He didn't. Click the link and stop accusing me of being ignorant. How's the protest teach ins going?
  18. Or how about free the hostages and get rid of Hamas so that sensible negotiations can occur?
  19. B.S. Contrary to claims, the IDF does not use an artificial intelligence system that identifies terrorist operatives or tries to predict whether a person is a terrorist. Information systems are merely tools for analysts in the target identification process. According to IDF directives, analysts must conduct independent examinations, in which they verify that the identified targets meet the relevant definitions in accordance with international law and additional restrictions stipulated in the IDF directives.
  20. You missed this bit with the UN voter: "immediate and unconditional release of all hostages"
  21. You claimed Russia "has proven itself to be more abiding with international law than some others." then provide evidence or stop making things up.
