I never saw a single person say Trump would be better for Palestine, so I’m not sure what you’re on about…
As for complaining about Dems and not Trump, that makes sense to me because it’s assumed that Trump is shit, but Dems pretend to be better than they are.
I guess we’ll see if those elections happen this year.
Zionism is a colonizing venture and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important to build, it is important to speak Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot.
We cannot offer any adequate compensation to the Palestinian Arabs in return for Palestine. And therefore, there is no likelihood of any voluntary agreement being reached. So that all those who regard such an agreement as a condition sine qua non for Zionism may as well say “non” and withdraw from Zionism. Zionist colonisation must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population - behind an iron wall, which the native population cannot breach. That is our Arab policy; not what it should be, but what it actually is, whether we admit it or not.

It’s how long this has been allowed to go on for that disgusts me. The images from a year ago were awful enough to show how much Gaza had already been devastated.
South Africa’s genocide case against Israel was submitted to the ICJ in December 2023 FFS.
They were the one that brought up Russia for no reason lol
It doesn’t have to change anything. They can be correct, and I can find the irony funny at the same time. If they hadn’t mentioned Russia for absolutely no reason then I wouldn’t have felt the need to say anything.
Nope. Pretty funny that you’re embarrassed enough to lie about it though lol

Are you from that country that just voted in a convicted felon as their next president?
Am I blind or does the article not indicate how many companies trialled it?
Also, this alone would significantly improve my job satisfaction:
Reports from the trial showed that the frequency and duration of meetings was reduced by 60%, which makes sense to anyone who works in an office – many meetings could have been a simple email.
I don’t know if this was a test run or an actual operation of some kind, but Russia evidently wants to carry out more of these attacks, as they have been mapping out these cables for years now, and have recently been running national internet outage drills.
I’m not very deep in the conflict
It would seem that you have not even done some preliminary research on the subject.
Trying to have a discussion with someone who has very little knowledge of this issue is not an easy task, nor is simplifying it.
It is a long and complex history, and whoever you talk to is going to have different answers about how long it is, what happened, and why it happened.
While nuance and much important additional information is lost in Wikipedia articles, they are a very useful resource for understanding the main points, and they also tend to be one of the least biased sources. If you are genuinely interested in learning more, this is a good place to start:

If you actually do read through most of that page, I will be very surprised if your take away is still “everyone is the asshole here.”
Relations between Ireland and Israel have long been strained because of Ireland’s stance on Palestine.
Yeah it’s all Ireland’s fault that relations are strained 🤦♂️
That’s my belief versus the mostly confirmed accounts that are based on limited evidence.
Describing it as factual was my mistake, but I did so because of how incredibly likely I think it is.
There’s no way anyone can know that without a full and transparent investigation being done, which Israel did not allow to happen.
That said, there are many indicators that they did a significant amount of damage.
One example:
All the burned bodies and cars from the festival that were somehow burned by Hamas (with molotovs?), and
definitely notby Apache helicopters equipped with hellfire missiles. Oh… except for the handful of bodies that turned out to be Hamas fighters. THOSE ones were killed and burned by hellfire missiles, but the Israeli bodies were burned by Hamas. And so were their cars of course. Let’s not worry about why the cars were trucked off far away, shredded, and compacted before being buried. Definitely has nothing to do with making it harder to investigate what actually happened to them.Much of this info has been available for over a year now.
I don’t think it’s hard to imagine how tanks, artillery, and apache helicopters would do more damage than rifles and a handful of RPGs.
You just have to look at the incinerated cars and bodies from the festival to see how much damage the helicopters did there.
A few more recent sources, including some Israeli ones:

Their plans were clearly to capture and ransom them. Even Israeli witnesses testify to that, as well as to the fact that the IDF did the vast majority of damage.
I don’t think you understand the point of the protests. People don’t want their government funding and supplying the weapons for a genocide.
What would a protest about Sudan achieve if your country has no involvement in it?
