Israel destroys 11 homes in West Bank village amid spiralling violence ( www.theguardian.com )

Israeli soldiers have destroyed 11 homes and other structures in an isolated community in the occupied West Bank, leaving 50 people homeless, amid a reported uptick in house demolitions and spiralling violence in the Palestinian territory....

They are provoking the West Banks to attack.

Is removing a justice more or less difficult than adding more justices?

Frog ,

Israel has a huge intelliegence network that the US help them build by giving them billions of dollars.

The US relations with that area is already really poor. Pulling support of Israel will bring the US back decades of relationship building, billions of dollars invested, and losing the location. The location is important because Israel is in the center, near water, and isn't an island.

Morally, being allies with Israel is not good, logically it makes sense.

Frog ,

They could very well be doing those things. Israel is a technology powerhouse now. Being allies allows more political accountability.

Frog ,

The president role is 7 years. Knesset seat is 4 years. Would you give up decades of relationship building for one presidential term?

Also how often would you switch allies if they commit genocide defined by the Genocide Convention?

Frog ,

How much time needs to pass before a genocide is no longer an "active genocide"?

Frog , (edited )

Let's say we stopped being allies with them and stopped funding. So if they stop tomorrow, then the US should have them as allies again?

Frog ,

Okay you have an issue with the land grab so you stop being allies with Israel. They won't stop the genocide. Israel will continue with the weapons they already have. Now they think they absolutely need to take over Palestine because they can't have neighbors that are controlled by Hamas.

Was that the right choice? Should the US stop the genocide by sending troops and money to government of Palestine? Maybe the money that was intended for Israel?

Frog ,

Israel is killing humanitarians in Palestine. If Israel kills Americans, should the US declare war?

UN mourns the deaths of more than 100 aid workers in Gaza, the highest number killed in any conflict in its history

This article is from 7 months ago so it is more. Some people just want to feed children and their trucks are being blown up. It is fucking horrible.

I ask you these questions because these are the questions I have asked myself and I always end with the same conclusion. Israel is an information super power. The US needs Israel more than vice versa. The infromation provided by Israel has helped keep the US and other allies safe.

The question I get asked is "if that information is so valuable, then why didn't they keep themselves safe?" They did know about the attacks. Israel allowed the attack to happen thinking it would allow them in the eyes of the public to take Palestine.

Wikipedia link - look at the "Events leading to the attack" and the "Israeli intelligence failure" sections.

Had my final assessment for autism the other day

I was diagnosed 7 years ago as autistic, though I didnt realise at the time it was a diagnosis, I was informed a few years later that what I thought was a specialists opinion was actually a formal diagnosis. But due to family history, my adhd was addressed first. They were supposed to refer me to autism specialist after the adhd...

Frog ,

Do you often feel guilty that people use time to help you?

Frog ,

I'm not a psychologist, so anyone, please correct me if I am wrong.

It's a form of people pleasing which is a characteristic of autism.

Not knowing when someone wants to help you or just is just helping you without any benefit to them is a deficit in social communication.

I don't like to assume things but do you like helping people but don't like it when people you?

Frog ,

Knowing something, even this one characteristic we are talking about, can give you a better understanding and lead to a more balanced life. Good luck.

Even she quoted this:

The chairman of Trudy Steuernagel's department rose at her memorial service to proclaim, "Autism doesn't equal violence." And this probably is mathematically correct: Autism does not always equal violence.

I want to see if there is anything else Sky and Andrew could have. I also want to see what kind of therapies, like if behavioral therapy was involved.

What helps me is leaving on a show I've seen before. Something you enjoy but not something that surprises you. X-Files, Classic Twilight Zone, House works for me.

Which prisoners are responsible and how do I send them cash to their prison commissary accounts?

The United Nations has been reporting the famine and war crimes in Sudan for decades.

If Raisi were to die, Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba, would likely be increasingly mentioned as frontrunner for the country’s top job.

Is the government allowed to question the leader's son?

The robot, built by Hong Kong-based firm Hanson Robotics, was also given several opportunities to plug the AI industry.
