Remarks by former president and presumptive 2024 Republican nominee described as ‘unhinged’ by the White House
Remarks by former president and presumptive 2024 Republican White House nominee would be ‘music’ to Putin’s ear, critic says
It is not clear where Israel plans on evacuating the Palestinian citizens, as most can’t return to the northern region due to widespread destruction.
They also more than likely cannot move into Egypt without violating a four-decade peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.
The border between Gaza and Egypt is already a humanitarian aid entry point.
The plan has been met with criticism, including from the US, as Israel has intentions of moving ground forces into the city.
I am sure it will be fine. IDF has shown that they go to great lengths to protect innocent palestinians.
For real, it has some "sell their flooded houses to aquaman" vibes. Evacuate where? There is nowhere to evacuate. It would have been funny, if it wasnt so tragic.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday ordered his military to prepare an evacuation plan for Palestinian citizens in Rafah ahead of the expected invasion.

What if he is a time traveller? Both Mitterrand and Kohl ruled in the 90s. Maybe he was supposed to travel to the 90s to save the future. But his time machine malfunctioned and arrived in the 2020s.
U.S. President Joe Biden mistakenly referred to a conversation he had with Angela Merkel in 2021 as having taken place with the late German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who died in 2017, on Wednesday night, his second such mixup this week.

Greece expects to receive a draft letter of acceptance next week from the United States of its request to buy F-35 fighter jets, two Greek sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Friday.
"The (Greek) defence minister will receive a draft letter of acceptance on Monday," one of the sources said.
Greece sent an official request to the United States for the purchase of 20 Lockheed Martin-made F-35 fighter jets in June 2022.

The U.S. ambassador to Turkey said he anticipates that President Tayyip Erdogan will give a final sign-off on Sweden's NATO membership within days, triggering rapid steps toward U.S. Congress endorsing a sale of F-16 fighter jets to Ankara.
In an interview on Thursday, Ambassador Jeff Flake said that once the formal ratification document is received in Washington, the U.S. State Department will immediately send Congress notification of the $20 billion F-16s sale.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, running for a new six-year term in an election that his opponents say is a parody of democracy, said on Tuesday that past U.S. elections had been rigged by postal voting.
"In the United States, previous elections were falsified through postal voting ... they bought ballots for $10, filled them out, and threw them into mailboxes without any supervision from observers, and that's it," Putin said, without providing evidence.

Youtube has better quality and rewind but twitch has more interesting chat, even if it is just spamming emojis. Twitch chat has a vibe, feels like you are in a stadium. Also for gaming streams, twitch is a must. Also you need a browser extension like 7tv to appreciate the chat.
I played the beta. I wouldnt call it a good game but it was a game that i enjoyed playing. Maybe i liked it because ever since i was a kid, i was always fascinated by mad max/waterworld. Having your own vehicle, roaming a hostile desert(or sea).
You have a customizable ship, you can build it how you want. And you have a base that can be built and upgraded. And a giant open world with a forgetful story and generic npc. The gameplay was ok, though the world of warships has infinitely superior naval combat. I think it is using similar to war thunder naval combat(same publisher), which is a bit too arcadey for my taste(not that world of warships is a simulator, but it is a more immersive experience).
These reports are coming from US intelligence assessment and it is being reported by CNN. These are not pro-Hamas sources.
Israel has shitload of bombs available. But since Gaza is a completely uncontested airspace(therefore israeli planes can fly and drop dumb bombs safely) and they dont give a fuck about the palestinians, it is cheaper to use dumb bombs instead of guided.
You mean Erdogan who said
"“We can come suddenly, in the middle of the night [..] if you Greeks go too far, then the price will be heavy,”
Or the Erdogan bragging how turkish missiles can reach Athens
Or the Erdogan who said “He no longer exists for me. I will never agree to meet with him."(the greek prime minister who just met)

Yeah, he is a great dude.
Turkey and Greece exchanged each other’s ethnicities post WWI and War for Turkish independence, ethnic cleansing but not necessarily genocidal.
Yet for some reason there are 0 greeks in Turkey atm and 200k muslims in Greece, most of which selfidentify as ethnic turks. I wonder what happened, i guess we will never know. Oh wait, we do.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul_pogrom
Also weirdly enough, sanctioned by international mediation because shit was weird back then
It's not weird, greeks and turks have murdered shitload of each others civilians.
After Greece's "Great Idea" plan(conquering Western Turkey) got crashed, Greece wanted to protect the surviving greeks in Turkey from further reprisals. So both sides decided to partially exchange populations while protecting the remaining minorities. Eventually(30 years later) Turkey decided they didnt want any greeks left in Turkey and violated the deal. Greece on the other hand just kept being shitty to ethnic turks living in Greece but at least they are mostly ok now.
Most greeks are aware of civilian turks getting murdered. I am not so sure turks are aware of the civilian greeks slaughtered. This "exchange" ended 3000+ year of continuous presence(with majority or almost majority percentages) of ethnic greeks in Anatolia(Western Turkey).
They are not genociding, they are just removing palestinians from areas, they are ethnic cleansing those areas. This is a pretty standard nation building tactic, except most, european, nations did it in the past, while Israel is doing it now. Azerbaijan did it too with their armenian enclave in Nagorno Karabakh. The armenians "voluntarily" left the region and now there are basically 0 armenians there.
Genocide focuses more on the destruction of people.
If Hamas had a command node in the hospital, the IDF better start releasing videos of underground tunnels and rooms(used for storage/command/communication/etc). Command node implies there should be at least multiple tunnels going in and out the hospital. So far, we have only seen a couple of kalasnikovs, which might be real or planted but in any case, kinda irrelevant, since 5 kalasnikovs and a dude with an rpg walking outside the hospital does not make a hospital a target.
To bolster its claims that Hamas has a control center under the hospital, Israel’s military released video showing a tunnel shaft in the grounds of Al-Shifa. In the footage, the shaft appears to be reinforced with concrete. Exposed pipes and cabling can also be seen close to the surface. CNN cannot independently verify what the tunnel is used for, and the IDF is yet to offer clear evidence that the shaft has a military purpose.
Surely it cant be hard to take some media into the hospital and show that tunnel, right? Also it is interesting how hamas didnt defend the hospital, at all. The hospital is huge and according to IDF is full of tunnels, that would make it a good place to ambush IDF. Especially since IDF would be less willing to bomb entire buildings, therefore it would be perfect for Hamas to fight there.

Because Israel unilaterally left Gaza in 2005, as per the above link, and dismantled their settlements there.
Having the prison guards live next to your house instead of inside your house makes little difference.
Egypt has agreed to allow supplies through, and air shipments are happening until the crossing is clear. Under normal circumstances they only let people out and oil and some humanitarian aid supplies in, everything else goes through Israel.
So they cant move things.
It literally does. What exists now is called a blockade.
So was Vichy France independent just because it technically wasnt occupied by nazi troops? In fact, it was occupied a few years later, when the war started going to shit for the nazis.
The reason Gaza wasn't allowed total freedom and autonomy has something to do with its regular attacks against civilians, and also Israel wanting leverage over them, leverage they are now using now to get their kidnapped back
So how do you think this will ever end? Are you saying that the only solution, is the final solution?
Bold of Gaza to launch a massive terror attack on a state they are dependent on, then complain about human rights abuses when they stop assisting them. If Israel went by Hamas' playbook, there would be no Palestine.
So you think it is unfair for the rest of the world to demand from Israel to be a law abiding nation while fighting a terrorist organization? Do you think Israel should be allowed to kill thousands of innocent palestinians just because Hamas did it?
And does it make that big of a difference if you kill people with an AK or if you bomb and starve them?
I just want you to imagine some other state deliberately going out of its way to cut all water, electricity and food to a region with 2 million people because 1000 "x" people attacked and killed 1000 "y" people. Let's say if Azerbaijan did it to the Nagorno-Karabakh armenian enclave(well not anymore). Do you think that would be morally acceptable?
I am ok with ethnic cleansing, i am actually a big proponent. But if Israel thinks this is the solution, they should come out and state it. Because honestly, i cant justify Israel's actions(cutting water, food and electricity) in any other context.
In what way Gaza isnt occupied? Can the inhabitants leave? Can you get stuff in and out of that area? Just because it doesnt have actual israeli occupiers inside Gaza, doesnt mean that it isnt occupied.
If you live in a place and armed guards dont let you leave or get anything in or out, are you free?
It would be odd if it were a war crime not to provide a hostile enemy territory with supplies while being attacked by them.
When the territory was never independent and was always dependent on you and you never allowed it to become independent, then yes, you have an obligation to keep those people alive. And thats the bare minimum legal obligation that you have. Dont take my word, literally the EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says so
"Israel has a right to self-defence, but it has to be done within international law ... cutting water, cutting electricity, cutting food to a mass of civilian people is against international law,"
Even if you ignore the moral thing of you know, not letting people die for no reason, Israel has a legal obligation. Similarly to how when a country occupies a territory, they have an obligation to provide for that territory. So unless Israel decides to recognize Gaza as a sovereign, free and independent state, they are responsible for it and its inhabitants.
Well, there kinda was and hamas was elected 15 years ago, when the last elections happened. But still, doing warcrimes(deliberately cutting a large population off electricity, water and food) is not acceptable, even if the other side warcrimed you.
These amounts of money is not actual money but military equipment that already exists in american warehouses, often overpriced(priced as new, even though they are about to be decommissioned). The alternative is to use missiles and tanks as payment for doctors.
The cost is that eventually, the american military will need to replace that equipment by buying new stuff. But thats a different conversation.

Their reboot of Unreal Tournament failed. And so did their moba named Paragon. Arguably, their Fortnite Save the World also failed. Gears of War Judgement had poor sales for a Gears game though that may have been mostly developed by People Can Fly.
Generally if we ignore Fortnite and Infinite Blade(a mobile game), their last successful game was Gears 3, from 12 years ago. They basically only have Fortnite, Unreal Engine and the Epic store.
