71 killed in Israeli strike on Gaza humanitarian zone
  • "Speaking to Newshour on the BBC World Service, Dr Mohammed Abu Rayya, who is at a hospital dealing with the aftermath of the attack, said the majority of those injured were suffering from multiple shrapnel wounds.

    He said it was like being in "hell", adding that many of the casualties were civilians, notably women and children. "

    Go to hell.

  • Probably. It saves them the cost of barbed wire and crematoriums. Plus, they are able to keep pretending Holocaust was a one off and they are definitely not commiting one now.....

    Funny how the descendants of victims turned into perpetrators, eh?

    "This was the beginning of what historians called 'the cult of the flag,' an almost religious feelings that the Americans have for the stars and stripes.”

    " The rare chance to wave the flag for a reason that had nothing to do with a political statement or a military campaign was irresistible for Americans who began putting the flag pattern on everything from breakfast waffles to garbage trucks. "

    Yeah, perfectly normal 🙄

  • Flag is just a piece of cloth
  • Zealots are the problems, not the entire population, as I've said.

    You are not the sharpest tool in the box, are you?

    In other nations flag cult is limited usually to the far right. Everyone else is using flags sporadically - football events for example.

    In the USA flag cult is an everyday occurrence applicable to the most of the population: flags in classrooms, on houses, everywhere. With their bizzare customs "not touching the ground" and other shit. Cult of a piece of cloth.

    Do you get it now? If not try to read again. Slowly.

  • Flag is just a piece of cloth
  • In the UK we call them "flag shaggers" and they are laughing stock.

    If you are not trolling and you genuinely don't see the difference between occasional flag use and everyday cult typical for the USA and for the far right in other countries, you may be even slower than you appear from your comments here.

  • Flag is just a piece of cloth

    I don't understand this weird American obsession with flag. I was looking at some photos of Trump's rallies. Flags everywhere - on shirts, hats, glasses etc. And this bizarre cult of the flag - "it cannot touch the ground" etc.

    At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth. If you worship any flag or take offense to any flag, you need to get a life.

    "Drowning" of Patryk Palczynski

    Patryk Palczynski was 24 years old when we left his family home in June 2010, supposedly for a boat/yacht cruise where he was supposed to be a sailor. Unlike previous times, this time he didn't tell his mom any details. He packed his belongings and took with him 50 dollars in one note. He turned off this phone that night with no further contact with his mom.

    His body has been found ashore 14th July. His hands were tied behind his back. Pavement flagstones were attached to his body. He had with him 20 dollars in one note and a turtle medallion which his mother claims wasn't his.

    The police and the prosecutor ruled that he pulled the pavements stones, attached to his body, tied his hands behind his back and finally jumped into the sea in the Gdansk harbour. Then allegedly currents moved his body where it was subsequently found. That is despite:

    • no such currents in this part of the sea
    • no CCTV capturing him doing either of these things
    • no any evidence he was suicidal
    • him having things he didn't have with him when he left (20 dollars note, medallion) which is an evidence he didn't commit suicide that night (which is what the police claims)

    Not to mention ridiculousness of the theory about the guy tieing up his hands behind his own back to commit suicide.
