If only there was a word for cleansing all the civilians from a particular area with no intent to let them return

@Leo_Puglisi6 @MagpieMetalcore They usually provide disposable cutlery. You can’t eat this greasy, flaky stuff with your hands IMO, but here she is seated at what looks like a pub/cafe/restaurant table anyway.

I don’t usually defend the Americans but this is literally the correct way to eat it??

Israel is ordering the evacuation of the capital city of a sovereign state so it can bomb it to rubble.

🚨🇮🇱ISRAEL ISSUES EVACUATION WARNING TO BEIRUT RESIDENTS AHEAD OF STRIKES Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari announced that early evacuation warnings are being issued to residents of Beirut and other areas in Lebanon. The warnings target sites linked to Hezbollah's financial operations. Hagari urged civilians to distance themselves immediately, as the Israeli military plans to strike these locations in the coming hours and overnight. Hagari also revealed that Israel will disclose how Iran funds Hezbollah using civilian institutions as a cover. Updates on the strikes' results will follow in the coming days.

@JonBeves @Real_Don_Easter @UNSWScience What tests would you need to do to determine whether it is alien poo?

@Real_Don_Easter @UNSWScience Thanks! I also want it to be alien poo

At @UNSWScience we have been investigating the tar balls that washed up on Coogee and other Sydney beaches.
What do we know (and not know!) so far?
Here comes our thread!

The most Australian video I've ever seen

"40 children killed on average, every day [...] for a year"
This is not proportionality, this is not the minimisation of civilian casualties, this is blatant disregard for human life.
Christiane Amanpour@amanpour
Unicef spokesperson @1james_elder is recently back from Gaza. He tells me the humanitarian situation there is "everything that the international community ever feared, but worse somehow: no aid and more attacks on civilian areas."

Far from acknowledging the Palestinians burnt alive last night, Sky's captioned this picture as if it's a strike on Israel

UNRWA confirms that on
14 October, the Israeli Army artillery fired shells inside and outside the UNRWA jabalia food distribution center. At least 10 people were reportedly killed and another 40 were injured.
This happened while people were trying to get food from the centre.

Northern #Gaza. Two long weeks of intense Israeli Forces' airstrikes and ground operations. Hundreds of Palestinians are reported killed, among them children. More than 400,000 people continue to be trapped in the area. The health system has all but collapsed. We are not able to reach our teams due to telecommunications cuts. The UN has not been allowed to provide any assistance, including food since 30 September. The two crossing points into northern Gaza have been closed since. Jabalia camp has been hit the most, some 50,000 people were forced to flee. Basic services, including from @UNRWA, have been interrupted or forced to a halt including our @UNRWA health centre while only two water wells are operational. Such attacks, the sabotage of civilian infrastructure and the deliberate denial of critical assistance continue to be used as a tactic by the Israeli Authorities to force people to flee. Civilians are given no choice but to either leave or starve. International Humanitarian Law is clear: people cannot be displaced by force, civilians should be protected at all times + given access to basic necessities should they choose to stay. In Gaza, too many red lines have been crossed. What might constitute war crimes can still be prevented. #CeasefireNow. It is not too late to show courage & humanity.

@Margare12740329 @Chrisactevans @kymtje @AlboMP If @AlboMP's dream in life is to achieve nothing while being slightly more polite about it than Dutton, then fantastic - he's living the dream!
The rest of us would like to have a PM who actually used his power and influence to try and stop an ongoing genocide.

@Chrisactevans @kymtje @AlboMP Dutton worse he doesn’t even want a ceasefire.
Labor have voted for a ceasefire with a 146 countries.

if you are okay with people - children - being burned alive there is something fundamentally, intrinsically, deeply and inescapably wrong with you

@naomirwolf @AJMacDonaldJr I guess your understanding of the American legal system is just as bad as your understanding of the British system then.

I was in an Uber with a Virginian driver who was talking about civil rights, and said he would never never vote for a convicted felon. I pointed out that the Rev MLK Jr was a convicted felon. There was a pause.

@realCarrickRyan @joelmcourtney Absolutely, but by that measure the graph you posted shows how well Democrats are doing. They've managed to deliver a message that is resonating with women, and substantially increasing the share of that vote while having little to no impact on the voting intentions of young men.
English
@TimVernum @joelmcourtney Sure, but if you're a young man that has been impacted... you're essentially being asked to take one for the team. Not all will be happy to do that.
English
He's right.
There's a line between elevating Women and denigrating masculinity, and progressive politics often crosses that line.
Young men won't join a movement that, in some instances, seeks to marginalise them.
David Hogg 🟧@davidhogg111
I hope I’m wrong but if we lose in November I think the main reason why will be the number of young men of all races that are no longer Democrats. There’s been a taboo about talking about this because we understandably are hesitant to make men a main point of conversation (given we have been for thousands of years) but we have a real problem to deal with. At this point with 60 days to go there isn’t much we can do to recover it other than turning out more young woman and trying to slow the departure of young men. I think a lot of this is caused by Covid and the epidemic of male loneliness in this country and the ensuing commodification through social media of misogyny. Long-term, we have a lot of work to do to provide positive examples of what actual masculinity looks like that is not defined by putting down women or other people, but by lifting others up and being a true leader.
English
@realCarrickRyan @joelmcourtney You can correct gender imbalances without denigrating men, but you can't do it without *impacting* them, and some will feel devalued.
Arguing to avoid impact is arguing for the status quo, it's not evidence of a line being crossed.
English
@joelmcourtney Some examples: attempts to correct gender imbalances often makes men feel devalued or actively discriminated against. Popular media now often defaults to portraying men in a manner that many are tiring of, and...
English
@realCarrickRyan @kookcove There's a question of how the left can increase support from young men. That would be a good thing to do, but they've seized the opportunity to increase support among young women (and women of all ages) which only helps their electoral chances.
English
@realCarrickRyan @kookcove But that graph doesn't show that the left is losing young men. The long term trend is stable.
You could "fix the gap" by abandoning young women and going back to the level of support from 20y ago, but that obviously wouldn't be helpful.
English
@Leo_Puglisi6 We need a special envoy for the census. That'll fix it.

it's impossible to address cost of living and add a question to a census being conducted in 2 years, everybody knows this!
