Hamas explicitly uses those places to launch attacks because they don't give a fuck about Palestinians civilians and want Israel to bomb them so they look bad. The alternative is to let them launch rockets against Israel with impunity, which has worked so well for the past 20 years, hasn't it?

You know this is a good plan because all the orthodox hardliners on both the Israeli and Palestinian side would hate it.

Speaking as an American Jew, Hamas should release the hostages. Until they do, a ceasefire feels impossible.

Insane that this comment is downvoted. There are 1400 dead Israeli civilians and hundreds more still held hostage by Hamas. If they want peace so bad, maybe release the hostages?

Here's a good article: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/18/1206795861/heres-the-available-evidence-of-what-happened-at-al-ahli-arab-hospital-in-gaza

Relevant quote:

Photos from the following day also appear to show little damage to the hospital buildings, and a relatively small blast zone from the explosion. That damage pattern is inconsistent with a large air-dropped bomb, which would leave a crater and create a shockwave that would damage or destroy surrounding structures, says Marc Garlasco, a former targeting officer for the U.S. military who now works for PAX, a Netherlands-based non-profit.

"It's very clear to me that this is not an airstrike." Garlasco says. Israeli bombs typically leave craters three to ten meters in size, and are designed to create a large shockwave that propels shrapnel over a large area.

If you look at the photos of the site there's no crater, no destroyed buildings, just burned cars.

 

Every time I'm like, damnit Lae'zel get out the way! Let the grown ups talk! Your charisma is 8!

 

Thought it was funny how it felt like such a relief getting 3-3 with a failed U/G draft deck, and such a disappointment going 4-3 with the streamlined R/W aggro deck I got right after.

Should post a picture of them all! I'm curious what that looks like.

It was still down for me as of a few hours ago, haven't checked recently though.

 

Saw it was still offline a couple hours ago with no news on the status page. Is it still down for everyone?

That sack looked very routine too, no huge blindsided hit, just a regular takedown with a slightly weird angle on his legs. Real bad luck.

Got one guy yelling that real poor people can't afford plane tickets and you're calling me stupid for the opposite reason. Meanwhile I'm here like, I never even took a position on the actual argument, I just wanted to make a distinction between poverty in wealthy countries vs poor countries. Yeesh

 

What's up with the super old posts in the hot feed? They always show up near the top in strange clusters, too. I'll be scrolling through, seeing posts from 5 min to an hour old, then suddenly 10 posts in a row from 2 years ago, then back to seeing all posts from 5 minutes ago. I know I can sort by top day or whatever, but it just seems like such a weird bug, wondering if anyone knows why it happens.
