    A French-Israeli IDF soldier boasting about torturing Palestinian detainees. The now deleted video was uploaded by one of his relatives. There's a (justified) sense of impunity and license to do whatever they want that's never, ever been seen until now. War crimes and torture are not only filmed...

    Four very dangerous Hamas militants minding their own business and walking in broad daylight in the middle of the road, without any weapon, get hit by an Israeli drone strike. The injured sole survivor of the first strike is killed a few moments later by the same drone. The bodies are blurred...

    You're right, it was a lazy shortcut. The Sparkasse's actions are still indicative of the general paranoia reigning in Germany when it comes to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

    In diesem ganz besonderen Fall, eigentlich schon. Um es ganz klar zu sagen, rede ich nicht von den Deutschen sondern von der deutschen Regierung. Germany's official stance in this conflict has been appalling and utterly shameful. From cancelling Palestinian or pro-Palestinian artists and...
  6. The Biden Presidency

    Republicans steadily proving themselves as either utterly ignorant or straight up psychopaths.

    You and me both.

    Give up on Germany. They're a lost cause.

    I've met quite a few of Serbs while I was studying architecture in Weimar (Germany). They were mostly music students at the Franz-Liszt-Hochschule but also engineers, architects and media designers. From my personal experience, they belonged to the funniest, most open-minded and welcoming...

    It can't be more inaccurate than my own takes. I get the Latin reference and think that the word you're looking for is "Orator". I also fully understand what you're getting at, as well as Netanyahu's dexterity at wielding his mother tongue. He's a "political animal" if I were to translate it...

    First of all, my thanks to both of you and @ScholesyTheWise to keep posting in this thread despite some unfair criticism and posters giving you a rough time. I can't imagine how hard it is for you guys at the moment, but your contribution is highly appreciated and I personally wish that there...

    Jupiter might very well have fecked Venus over, and they're more than 575 million miles away from each other at their farthest.
  13. Baltimore bridge collapse

    There was no malice or sarcasm in the white font. From that angle of this particular video, the ship which despite the light problems (whatever the cause was) looked like it would make it without hitting anything, then steered in the direction of the one of the main pillars. I'm not assuming...
  14. History/Archaeology Thread

    That would be the "Shaharah Bridge", built around the 17th century with limestock stones and literally joining two mountains. It was made with traditional building tools just after Yemen regained its independence after roughly a century of domination by the Ottoman Empire. The bridge was to be...
  15. Baltimore bridge collapse

    I saw that too. Have they been hijacked and deliberately hit the bridge? Only half-joking. You'd be surprised. I personally hope that everyone made it out alive.
