Much appreciated.

Why though?

Am a middle eastern civilian, how do I enlist?

It’s a half-pun about actual piracy. Not sure if illegal fishing is actually considered piracy, but that’s the idea.

Why did they even do that?

Apparently it’s the former. Their prosecution rate is 8% apparently according to Wikipedia, because they’re too understaffed to deal with cases that can go either way. They also have a false confession problem, but that’s not what’s getting them to that rate.

Pretty sure nobody cares, but man as a third world country guy it feels weird as fuck to see these reasonable-looking numbers only to multiply by 50 and get a heart attack.

I’ve never used a Mac but my experience with iPhones and iPads (not mine) has convinced me to never touch anything Apple makes. The requirement of iTunes to send files between an iPhone and a PC is, for example, just ridiculous.

We do, an infinitely small amount. Remember you gotta divide by c².

Mostly because that’s impossible. Ideally you want small inflation so it’s a bad idea to just leave money around, but either way 0% inflation is about as impossible as 0.4999% inflation.

Uh… There’s a reason Israel hates BDS’s guts and that’s not because it doesn’t work.

Man’s forgetting the second law of thermodynamics: The house entropy always wins.

I also find the “Hamas hides among civilians” justification interesting because… Where else are they supposed to go?

It helps when you realize that home is an adverb in English.

Uh… Palestinians, including Gazans, and both men and women, are one of the most educated populations on Earth so I’m not sure what you’re talking about. If Hamas is preventing women from going to school it’s clearly not working.

So you don’t actually have an answer.

Uh… Because they’re a Palestinian organization and Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas in the planet? Like where do you expect them to be?

I mean true enough but that has nothing to do with preparing for war. To put it simply there’s a reason, say, Japan has an army despite their constitution denouncing war.

in the last election 70% of eligible voters voted, 23% voted for the likud (bibi).

I’m not talking about Likud alone; I’m talking about the right wing in general since they all seem to agree that they should steal Palestinian land for Lebensraum. Also I was specifically talking about his policies relating to Palestine, not as a whole.

Anyway I haven’t seen any evidence that there’s significant Israeli opposition against the genocide in Palestine, especially given that the Israeli right wing is actually growing.

And because he’s been Israel’s PM for about half the past 30 years. What I want to say is: Enough people like him that he keeps getting reelected, and even now people aren’t objecting to his policies but rather because he wants to sidestep democracy. I mean good thing they’re trying to defend “democracy” (it’s debatable how much an Apartheid state where 5 million people don’t have voting rights can call itself a democracy but that aside) but the fact that words like “war crime” or “genocide” don’t appear even once in this article (except when talking about October 7th) is very damning.
