Trump Criticizes Biden's Stance on Israeli Weapons

More nonsense from you. Biden has not stopped helping Israel militarily. He's just not giving them everything they want. -
Trump Criticizes Biden's Stance on Israeli Weapons
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Clearly even the US government has now determined that this is not the case. Israel's use of massive bombs in areas filled with civilians is proof enough of that. During the first six weeks of the war in Gaza, Israel routinely used one of its biggest and most destructive bombs in areas it designated safe for civilians, according to an analysis of visual evidence by The New York Times. https://archive.ph/Am6er Another proof of Israell's disgraceful conduct is its hindering the transport of food and other necessities to civilians. One particularly grimly nasty instance of that recenly occurred when Israel claimed that police escorts for supply trucks weren't showing up. It turned out they weren't showing up is because Israel was killing them when they did. Here's another instance: Dying for a bag of flour: Videos and eyewitness accounts cast doubt on Israel’s timeline of deadly Gaza aid delivery https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/09/middleeast/gaza-food-aid-convoy-deaths-eyewitness-intl-investigation-cmd/index.html -

First off, Israel helped to keep Hamas in power. Second, by your abysmal standards, any tactic that Israel adopts, no matter how brutal, is justified. To your way of thinking, the Hamas attack gives Israel carte blanche.- 77 replies

Heatwave and Climate Change Puts Pressure on Thailand

Once again, rather than address the facts, you try to slur the source. The facts are clear, Not only are very very few of the signatories not climatologists, but a large number of them aren't even scientists. Once again, you've got nothing. -
Underlying psychological traits could explain why political satire tends to be liberal The need for cognition — a psychological term used to describe the enjoyment of thinking and analyzing problems — could help explain the differences in humor appreciation between liberals and conservatives. According to new research in Psychology of Popular Media Culture, political conservatives tend to score lower on a measure of need for cognition, which is related to their lack of appreciation for irony and exaggeration. “Having studied the content, effects, and psychological processing of political humor and satire for 20 years, I could never escape the question of why political satire tends to be liberal,” said study author Dannagal G. Young, an associate professor at the University of Delaware and author of the forthcoming book Irony and Outrage: The Polarized Landscape of Rage, Fear, and Laughter in the United States. https://www.psypost.org/underlying-psychological-traits-could-explain-why-political-satire-tends-to-be-liberal/

Here's a rare piece of journalism about what it's actually like for refugees living in Rafah. It's based on an interview with Scott Anderson, deputy head of the UNRWA. Among other things Anderson points out that Al Mawasi, the area it has designated for Rafah refugees to decamp to, is barren of any kind of infrastructure. "It is a crappy place. It’s like trying to set up a city on a beach. There’s no infrastructure, there’s no sewage, there’s no water. None of those things exist, and there’s already 450,000 people in that general area. It is crowded." https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/08/israel-rafah-scott-anderson-unrwa-00156924 There's a lot more in the article which will probably go unread by the apologists for the way Israel has waged war in Gaza.

Heatwave and Climate Change Puts Pressure on Thailand

Once again, you get it wrong. This time you fell for a fake. (At the time this article was published the total number of signatories was 1609) Climate list claim melts away under closer inspection PolitiFact FL: Not all 1.6K signatories of declaration against climate change were scientists The updated version with 1,609 signatories, published Aug. 14, marked 12 people as deceased. Among the scientists, specialties included geology, chemistry, physics and agriculture. Those with climate expertise were few. The list included engineers, doctors, lawyers, mathematicians, architects, entrepreneurs, and economists. Others did not list any occupation at all. Some descriptions read: "Sceptical (sic) Scientific Contrarian in the Climate Debate" "Leadership development and coaching" "Physicist and YouTuber" "Sculptor, designer and innovator" https://www.wusf.org/environment/2023-10-11/politifact-fl-not-all-1-6k-signatories-declaration-against-climate-change-scientists WHAT WAS CLAIMED 1609 scientists have signed a declaration stating there is no climate emergency. OUR VERDICT False. The list of signatories includes lawyers, teachers, IT workers and relatively few climate scientists. https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/climate-list-claim-melts-away-under-closer-inspection/ -
Thanks for the correction. But that still doesn't mean that you got it right. What you're referring to is a record breaking day or days. This article is about record breaking average temperatures for the month. Also, the days of the month you cited occurred later in May. Who knows, a record breaking day may yet be to come.

Thanks for the reply. I was worried that any guarantees on the phone would be voided. Given that the phone is already over a year old, maybe there aren't any guarantees to worry about?

Do I really have to explain to you that the point of the comment was to make clear the hypocrisy Israel's gung-ho supporters who blame the Palestinian civilians for supporting Hamas and maintain that the Palestinians have no one but themselves to blame for their suffering? If anything is disgusting, it's that.

amnesia much? Here was your first rebuttal: "There were countless other newspaper headlines where the Holocaust wasn't mentioned , why focus on the one headline that mentioned it" In fact, had you looked google results, you would find it in this connections addressed in the headlines of many major media sources. -
