I've always been amazed that what was done to their people, they do to others. Just now I was shocked by the thought that ran through my mind: why would you be shocked and amazed that these people are doing everything the Father of Zionism advocated being done to his fellow Jews?
And "if you're a third party presidential candidate voter, you're doing more to harm Palestinians than if you vote for either genocidal candidate." *The level of gaslighting defies credibility; yet here we all are.
*Quotation marks added for clarity.
Ever since Palestine came to my awareness, I read about horrible things done by "God's chosen race" against the people God also was supposed to have blessed in those ancient scrolls. If yhwh blessed both seeds, you'd think "the chosen ones" who claim they're following the scrolls would stop conveniently leaving out their brothers and sisters as a blessed nation.
When this issue first came to my awareness, I was reading that settlers were still tying torches to fox's tails and loosing them in crops and neighborhoods. WTF?
A month so far. I mean, I'm pretty sure I probably said stuff that was ignorant of actual facts that showed up on other instances and could've been dv'd by, it argued over with them, it's hard to say since my original instance went down and I generally try not to hold grudges, but as long as I've been consciously aware, I don't recall any unpleasantness. But then I'm not going on their instances acting like I know everything just because I read it from a Western or US-centric source. All governments BS their citizens and we never really know to what extents, since *Assange, Snowden, Manning and a bunch of other whistle-blowers were heavily persecuted and prosecuted.
I have been corrected, with credible sources from Western-centric media and had my thinking challenged, but it wasn't disrespectfully, as far as I was aware. They're alright, I've had non -confrontational posts rm’d and been flamed for no good reason by mods and regulars on the biggest instance. Every other instance seems pretty decent, but that's my own experience.
I haven't.
We care. Our owners don't. Hopefully we can shift the course.
Those photos are gorgeous.
Israel and the USA routinely use DU in warfare and passively, as in tougher to penetrate tanks We know it's poison and needlessly expose every living thing to it, whether in warfare or not.
That is because it's beneficial to their bottom line.
Common knowledge You don’t have to back up absolutely everything you say with evidence (or you’d soon run out of wordcount to advance your own point properly!). Some things are common knowledge. That could mean that a fact is just generally known by everyone, and not disputed or in doubt. This could include:
•facts such as London is the capital of the United Kingdom •well documented dates such as the start of the First World War in 1914 •H20 being the chemical formula for water •things which everyone knows from their lived experience, such as the sky is blue.

Unless it's common knowledge or easily sourced.
