You can argue electricity isn't essential to human life, water on the other hand is a different matter.So Israel is a terrorist country.

The Journal of Modern African Studies, is a bad source?I don't know where you are getting your articles from. They are wrong.
Here's a rough timeline of Apartheid in South Africa:
The movement starts peaceful
The Afrikaner regime clamps down hard on peaceful dissent with imprisonment and extrajudicial killings
A decision is made by the ANC to introduce armed struggle, initially focused on economic sabotage
Mandela and others go abroad for military training
Mandela and others are caught, sham trialed and sentenced to life imprisonment on Robben Island. Others move abroad to forward bases in Zambia/Mozambique/Zimbabwe once their minority/colonial governments fell, for planning and incursions against Apartheid troops
Meanwhile the majority black population in South Africa gradually make the interior ungovernable with violent resistance
Extrajudicial killings and imprisonment is heightened by the government, and ultimately an indefinite state of emergency is proclaimed, drafting many Afrikaners into military and intelligence to fight at home and abroad
Faced with the mounting costs of fighting at home and abroad, coupled with a loss of support from the West due to the end of the Cold War, De Klerk releases Mandela
De Klerk asks Mandela to renounce violence from his end as a precondition to negotiations. Mandela refuses, saying that the state needs to ramp off Apartheid first
The state looks to instigate "black on black" violence and destabilize free elections by infiltrating the ANC and IFP and trying to turn them against each other which works with limited success. Chris Hani is killed by an apartheid extremist.
Elections take place on 1994, and Mandela is ushered in as president.
The movement started peaceful in the 1940s/1950s. And the government responded with violence. And from that moment, until the eve of free elections, the resistance against Apartheid was violent.
Again, change your reading. Especially if your source is an Israeli website.
people are talking about videos/images of beheaded babies and also about a pregnant woman murdered,
having her belly split open by a knife and then the fetus also stabbed to death.
Wonder if the source of that disinfo is from here, which was then retweeted by Shapiro.Yeah I heard the pregnant lady story, expecting/hoping that to be some silly misinfo, there's lots of that going round.

The infrastructures that provide, clean and dispose of water generally require electricity especially in an area as densely populated as Gaza that relies heavily on desalination plants.You can argue electricity isn't essential to human life, water on the other hand is a different matter.
You can still argue electricity isn't essential.The infrastructures that provide, clean and dispose of water generally require electricity especially in an area as densely populated as Gaza that relies heavily on desalination plants.
Austria put a stop to the desalinization days ago I though?The infrastructures that provide, clean and dispose of water generally require electricity especially in an area as densely populated as Gaza that relies heavily on desalination plants.
I think the problem with this instance is the tone of that message was shockingly gleeful and she did it as the president of an entire student body at an elite university. Hard to feel sympathetic at that. Even if she didn't mean for it to come across like that it's just one example of many where the people cheering on Hamas's actions as heroic revolutionaries are thousands of miles away and appear to treat it as a role play.Anyone revelling in the Hamas murders deserves opprobrium but I don't think you should define someone for life by their student politics.
Only if you consider that water isn't essential.You can still argue electricity isn't essential.
There are some problems between Israel and Palestine, that NK and SK don't have. For one the geography doesn't allow a simple border, because Gaza isn't connected with the bigger Palestine part. What happens with it? Should 2 million people be forced to move in that scenario? Or should a Palestine state be devided into 2 parts? In this case many of Gaza's problems would remain, in fact would there be any change at all?North Korea and South Korea co-exist with a guardened border between them. Could this serve as a template for a future 2-state solution?
(Yes I know people are saying the 2 state solution is dead but I'm not convinced)
yeah... Conclusion sounded pretty on point though, if unrealistic.The man skipped 1300 years of history.
This looks like a propaganda account. Why do they need to be shared, if something is verifiable then some credible medium will report it soon enough.Tweet

I'd go further and say freedom of thought should be pretty much absolute; the scouring social media for an employees opinions on life is rather creepy. I'm surprised the EU even allow it really.Anyone revelling in the Hamas murders deserves opprobrium but I don't think you should define someone for life by their student politics.
It was just reported on CNN as well. Like I said pages ago, I'm sure more information will come to light once the authorities have a chance to find out what truly happened in the kibutzs.This looks like a propaganda account.

Their hospitals also can't function without electricity. People will surely die as a direct result of the power being shut off.You can still argue electricity isn't essential.
Freedom of thought and expression is not the same as freedom of consequences. If you spout stuff for the whole world to see, then you have to expect that someone companies might not want to be associated with you.I'd go further and say freedom of thought should be pretty much absolute; the scouring social media for an employees opinions on life is rather creepy. I'm surprised the EU even allow it really.
That said, in the moment, if somebody has said something stupid, you have an absolute freedom to not hire them for it. 20 years later, it should be forgotten.
And that's the line Israel will use.Electricity is only non-essential in the strict biological sense of what it takes to keep a fit and healthy person alive.

I mean...isn't this the usual free speech cancel culture war stuff? Free from the government, but not free from how your friends, family and work act towards you.I'd go further and say freedom of thought should be pretty much absolute; the scouring social media for an employees opinions on life is rather creepy. I'm surprised the EU even allow it really.
That said, in the moment, if somebody has said something stupid, you have an absolute freedom to not hire them for it. 20 years later, it should be forgotten.
Well that was my point. Wait five minutes and you don't have to amplify a propaganda account.It was just reported on CNN as well. Like I said pages ago, I'm sure more information will come to light once the authorities have a chance to find out what truly happened in the kibutzs.
If freedom of thought should be absolute then you have no say on when someone ever forget or forgive something.I'd go further and say freedom of thought should be pretty much absolute; the scouring social media for an employees opinions on life is rather creepy.

Sure, I said exactly that. (you have an absolute freedom not to hire them) I don't think companies should be deepdiving for those opinions though. If they were egregious enough, they would be outlawed. (eg Nazi supporters in Germany) - I don't believe that support for Hamas from some stupid student should affect them 10 years down the line.Freedom of thought and expression is not the same as freedom of consequences.

There’s a fascinating section in Robert Fisk’s Pity the Nation where he interviews an Israeli pilot responsible for conducting air strikes on Beirut during 1982, some of which Fisk himself had reported on. The main thing I remember is how distant from the destruction the pilot claimed to feel flying high above the city as he unleashed hell below. Of course with the development of drone technology that distance has only grown since those years. But it probably explains the reaction to hands-on violence such as throat-cutting and beheading (to be clear I’m not saying it has happened here). It evokes a different era and seems to make demands on the human psyche that launching missiles just doesn’t, though the result might not differ much. What exactly this says about human nature I’m not quite sure.It's an odd quirk of how people (including myself) think that the idea of babies being beheaded is seen as being materially worse than babies "just" being killed in any other violent way Hamas or Israel manage to do it.
Yep, they are war criminals.And that's the line Israel will use.
If somebody doesn't know something, they cannot forget or forgive it.If freedom of thought should be absolute then you have no say on when someone ever forget or forgive something.
This entire situation is just tragic. Tragic for Israeli civilians, tragic for Palestinians and tragic for everyone who have been working om a two state solution. Gazans are trapped in a cage with no way out, just waiting to be killed. It is unconscionable.There are some problems between Israel and Palestine, that NK and SK don't have. For one the geography doesn't allow a simple border, because Gaza isn't connected with the bigger Palestine part. What happens with it? Should 2 million people be forced to move in that scenario? Or should a Palestine state be devided into 2 parts? In this case many of Gaza's problems would remain, in fact would there be any change at all?
In a 2-state solution both want to govern Jerusalem. What are we doing there? Also what happens with the Jews living on the west bank that would become a Palestinian state? And there are more questions. I don't see a solution to this.
It doesn't have to be during these events, its controversial to be anti-Israel all days of the year in the US. I'm not sure of Europe, but the pro-Israel-ness of US even in the public has been super over the top for years. I posted this before https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20181218-texas-teacher-fired-for-refusing-to-sign-anti-bds-oath/ and its the case in ~37 states and its just one example.That’s definitely possible. Anyone with a public profile will be routinely advised to avoid controversial content on their social media feeds. And anti Israeli content will be quite controversial right now given the events of the last week.
That doesn’t make what he did part of some grand scheme of Western propaganda though. Just an actor (and his agent) trying not to get caught up in any controversy.
You are policing the way people should think and act, while also stating that people should have absolute freedom of thoughts. Surely you realize that you are in fact not in favor of absolute freedom of thought?If somebody doesn't know something, they cannot forget or forgive it.
Eg. If you go to a Palestine rally today and say you wish Israel was destroyed, I might not forget or ever hire you. But somebody does not need to AI search security cameras in 20 years to find you at that rally and make the same conclusions.
There's no tweet for it yet. In either case, its been reported by a major outlet based on a report from an Israeli official.Well that was my point. Wait five minutes and you don't have to amplify a propaganda account.
You're somewhat right. Though I'm not policing it; I just don't think it's the right thing to do; i dont think its needed. It's not up to me what others do though.You are policing the way people should think and act, while also stating that people should have absolute freedom of thoughts. Surely you realize that you are in fact not in favor of absolute freedom of thought?
Cnn have said this from a quick peek:Well that was my point. Wait five minutes and you don't have to amplify a propaganda account.
I admire the search for optimism in this thread but I don’t see Korea as any kind of template. Firstly, they are all Koreans and are split artificially as a result of occupation, WWII and the Cold War (and now China’s desire for a buffer state). Also, both Koreas have territorial integrity and are backed by a major power.North Korea and South Korea co-exist with a guardened border between them. Could this serve as a template for a future 2-state solution?
(Yes I know people are saying the 2 state solution is dead but I'm not convinced)
exactly what he needs to keep power.Not in support of what Israel have been doing recently or their expansion of territory over the decades.
But what did Hammas think this attack was was going to achive? They have given Netanyahu the excuse to go all-out attack on Gaza. I think there will be lucky if there is anything left in 3 weeks time.
It's Andrew Neil, who thought GB News was a good idea. His judgement shouldn't be respected.How was it proven to be disinformation? Have you got a link?
Obviously the whole online space is a clusterfeck of lies and bullshit but I would be more inclined to believe journalists like him, as they’re much more likely than you or I to know people with legitimate expertise and insight about what happened.
