People need to take their head out of the sand and realize that this isn’t just an Israeli invasion, it’s a war that both sides want to keep fighting. It’s just a stupid war since Palestine is significantly weaker and getting their ass handed to them.

Uh… Sorry Palestinians don’t want to be occupied and ethnically cleansed from their land?

Ah, yes, the 2758 people were all Hezbollah.

Theta prime moment.

I mean knowledge yes, money no (or at least not compared to a conventional army), and most knowledge can be obtained through the internet or people who support your cause (if you don’t have a reasonably popular cause you can’t create a grassroot paramilitary organization). Also remember that some of the bigger paramilitary organizations usually considered terrorists (I personally don’t like the term as I think it’s been corrupted beyond saving by Western politicians and media) control land the size of a small country, for example some of the ISIS branch organizations. Other than that some have state backers (see Qatar, Iran and the US) or gain money through people who support their cause or some kind of business activity (the Taliban sell cocaine for example). Hamas is a good example, and in their particular case the money mostly comes from taxes in the Gaza strip, Qatari and Iranian support and money sent by individuals from abroad (usually by Palestinians).

TL;DR: Paramilitary organizations usually don’t need as much money as conventional states, and have ways to get it. Add in a sympathetic cause and it’s doable.

Why do people care so much about this? Like seriously this is the thing you go to court over?

I mean gang violence is usually not a grand spectacle event, so it has nothing to do with the text you’re quoted.

No? The conversation was (and still is) centered around school shootings.

Uh… This is the result of a land reclamation project that’s been in place for more than 15 years and not at all the result in “a shift in the weather”.

I mean nobody was talking about gang violence here.

This is a… Unique way of thinking about this. I’ll preface all of this by saying: Get therapy, or at least talk to people. Seriously. Feeling that every day is agony and hating your parents for giving birth to you clearly means you’re hurting somewhere. There is absolutely no need for that to be your normal.

how much better that would be for everybody.

Uh… Why are you talking like you’re the antichrist or something? In all likelihood you’re a mildly good person in the eyes of some people and a mildly bad person in the eyes of others. I mean you know yourself better than I do, but stop for a minute and think whether the dramatic statement of “how much better that would be for everybody” makes sense.

It just frustrates me that something SO SIMPLE could have saved me 41 years of daily agony.

I know that this is the product of deeper mental health issues, but I’ll just point out that you’re doing the same thing your mother did; only in your case it’s your life instead of Phil Hartman. I mean 41 years? Yeah you probably weren’t in agony before gaining object permanence, and definitely not every single day of your life. Just because things are hard now doesn’t mean you have to reject happiness you had in the past.

0 years is the maximum timeline for vigilantism.

I mean… some people just deal worse with food in many ways. You can give three children the exact same food and they’ll all end up with different amounts of body fat.

It’s a place where thanks to Uncle Sam there’s no real power that can object to having their neighbors’ or allies’ sovereignty violated by a great power. Iraq tried to change that and… Uh… We all know how that ended.

Yeah thanks that makes sense.

So what exactly was the point of trying to remove the video in the first place?

Selling weapons to an entity that you know will use them to commit atrocities is illegal under US law, and supporting genocide is illegal under international law. There.

I know I’m preaching to the choir but the way they count losses is fucking ridiculous.

My man Israel never had a moral compass.

Again, left-center is included under the general classification “left wing”, which NYT is absolutely not. Are you being willfully obtuse?

Biden continued to work with them after the fact and got them the sick days and shit they were looking for

Nope. He only got them sick day(s). They wanted other things, mainly safety features so trains don’t crash as often. The sick days part was the most emphasized because it’s easier for laymen to understand, but Biden did not give them what they wanted.
