Right. Like the whole point of treating juveniles differently is that they are incapable of understanding the magnitude of what they are doing. If anything, the argument for treating them differently is the strongest when applied to very serious crimes like murder.

 

Kamala Harris’s competence is a relief, not an inspiration.

 

For nearly a month, people in Lebanon and Israel braced for a wider war. A deadly rocket strike from Lebanon last month on the town of Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights was followed by an Israeli retaliatory strike that killed Hezbollah’s top commander in southern Beirut.

Oh, for what it's worth, I noticed it too. I just figured you were already aware and trying to fix it.

Thanks as always jwr1! Your work is so appreciated, even by us (mostly) lurkers!

All good, I'm mostly a lurker anyway.

Thanks for following up though! Much appreciated.

(in seriousness though, do you have a Patreon or a Kofi or something? I am sure this is costing you more with the upgrade)

I'm so tired of people on Lemmy/kbin downvoting news because it doesn't support their narrative. Like argue all you want about Biden staying in the race, that's great and fine. But do you think trying to suppress news of people's legitimate doubts is really the way to win an election?

Thank you!!! It's like people can't keep two thoughts in their head at once.

There are many of us (I'm in Israel and involved in anti-war and anti-genocide activism). And most of us lost people on October 7th, some of whom were peace activists (look up Vivian Silver, for example). Since then we have also lost Palestinian friends and partners in activism in the ethnic cleansing campaign currently going on in Gaza.

It is true that we are a minority, but it is so hard facing discrimination from both sides - I have a pro-Palestine sticker on my computer, but it is in Hebrew. So when I'm in Israel, I get harassed about it. When I'm not in Israel, anti-semites who can't read it assume it's something pro-israel (or just Jewish).
It feels very lonely sometimes, so thanks very much, @GrymEdm.

I think it represents intersex people. Only 75% sure though!
