That’s also part of the problem, yes

And the training hours for cops there is shockingly short compared to other counties

Giving The Guardian the benefit of the doubt: because they took time to verify its authenticity before reporting on it.

More likely reason: urgency and BREAKING NEWS gets more clicks.

Nothing in that explains why the majority of the population would have favourable views of Israel. There are several things that would appear to support the opposite actually, such as the Nigerian government arresting and deporting the Israeli film crew.

Upgrading from “died” to “killed” is so brave of The Guardian though

\s

The list of news sites that are actually worth visiting would be much shorter.

One of the few big companies that seems to have some morals (Ben & Jerry’s, not Unilever).

They even sued Unilever last year because Unilever silenced them expressing support for Palestinian refugees.

Thanks for the response! That’s very disappointing, but not at all surprising. It’s great knowing there’s a workaround to these sorts of issues now though.

I hadn’t even considered this aspect of it. I had always thought it would simply be a good thing, but I guess some people will try to exploit anything for money unless there are appropriate safeguards in place. Fuck capitalism.

It really reads like he’s just concerned about the backlash and future implications for Israel on the world stage.

There’s no apology and no admission of the true devastation or intent, for example:

I do not share the opinion of former Chief of Staff Moshe Yaalon, who said that Israel is carrying out ethnic cleansing.

He does not acknowledge the fact that the entire country seems to be pro-genocide, instead placing the blame solely on the current government.

Even though he mentions some of their illegal actions, he still has lots of positive things to say about the “brave” Israeli soldiers.

Out of interest, how does the response from Claude differ if you just ask it directly?

I also read from other sources that much of the perishable food on the trucks is now rotting because they have been held at the border for so long.

The main reason “dieting” doesn’t work is because people think it’s a temporary change rather than a lifelong change.

(You did address this, but it was quite far down, so I wanted to point it out more clearly.)

The vast majority of people (including yourself) seem to think that the suffering is worth putting up with for some strange reason though…

If life was nothing more than suffering then I don’t think nearly as many people would have children. Fortunately many of us are able to get enough out of life to see it as being worthwhile. I’m sorry that’s not the case for you.

That’s great, I do that too

Existence is accompanied by suffering, yes. If you can’t accept that, that’s on you. If you wish for all life to cease because of your views, then you’re the selfish one here.

That’s not the outcome I’d want to see. I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy in your previous comments about people having children being “selfish”.

You are clearly someone who deeply cares about the climate issue, but you are targeting your anger at people who are trying to live normal lives. If you and others in a similar position instead channelled it towards the people who are actively trying to harm the planet, I believe you would have a far chance in seeing the change you want.

As someone who has been in a similar place in the past, therapy can be a very helpful way to reframe things. I wish you all the best.

Point me to a time in the past when there was no suffering please.
