Your myopia is untreatable.

You silly

Reality doesn't care about what "jives" for you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_bombing_of_the_Gaza_Strip

The most perspective-enlightening comparison is probably "By late April 2024 it was estimated that Israel had dropped over 70,000 tons of bombs over Gaza, surpassing the bombing of Dresden, Hamburg, and London combined during World War II.[4][5]".

If that doesn't fit your carpet bombing definition, I give up.

Not sure where you're pulling this out of.

They literally are carpet bombing civillians, for a while now, as well as brutally blocking any humanitarian aid (such as food). They are literally using starvation to exterminate the Gaza strip, Nazi efficiency.

That and more, and Bibbi himself said with biblical flair: "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass" Not out of context. The context was the "war" with Gaza.

Even with a minimal amount of history taught at school you can piece together a very very very Nazi way of thinking. Everything is Hamas, Even the children, the hospitals, all infrastructure conducive to life and order. "Keep killing all leaders, contain, and eradicate with any means (such as starvation)"

Just by numbers, the Hamas attack that "started this" was 1.5k (Hamas) vs 1k (Israel) dead, which Israel knew about and was informed many times by intelligence agencies, and happened by a breach of a wall that is lined with 24/7 monitoring, they just chose not to be prepared, in a strong "Never let a good crisis go to waste." Churchillian way. This attack "caused" Israel to start carpet bombing, and murdering indiscriminately (even shooting children included) and killing 50k Palestinians (not taking into account the wounded, suffering, and deathly malnutritioned).

But hell, you don't need to listen to the logic of some random guy on the internet, why not just read this, ICC formally declaring the factual reality: https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-icc-prosecutor-karim-aa-khan-kc-applications-arrest-warrants-situation-state

Interesting, wouldnt have thought they went for youtube channels as well.

My knowledge is that especially national news channels were targeted by Israeli "ambassadors" telling what is happening in the war and how it should be covered. Which is just complete utter disregard for journalism; just propaganda.

I don't think you can defend inaction regarding genocide as "diplomatically the US is continually trying different tactics to stem the violent efforts of a nation".

The difference in circumstances is that, unlike 1940s, or any other period until 2010s, it was visible within months by historians and other civilians, without a doubt that what was happening was genocide. Because of the internet, photo equipment and general speed of communication, inability to delete communications. None of this "One year is not much time internationally or diplomatically. it’s not much time for intelligence agencies to determine what is happening", they knew very well.

Israel has been running a mega propaganda machine especially since the start of october events, ordering news sources how they should cover the situation. If there weren't enough red flags, that is a big one.

I think the conclusion should be that the relevant parts of US gov are either weak and careless, either exceptionally naive and old, or! there is something malicious that has been happening (and this seems most likely, considering the amount of propaganda).

But I guess going back a bit and throwing away all ideas of discussion, you sure like to ad-hominem the other commenter.

ITT: Lots of Americans getting insulted by the fact that obesity brings health problems, and the fact that being obese is a self-destructive choice.

If you know the format of SMR, then you can trivially see the read performance is not impacted. Writing is impacted, because it has to write multiple times for each sector write (because of overlapping sectors that allow the extra density).

Impacted write performance, coupled with hdds are generally slow with random writes PLUS the extra potential for data loss due to less-atomic sector writes, makes them terrible drives for everything except archival usage.

A better way to word it is: SMR is only suited for archival usage. Large writes, little-to-no random writes.

Unless he is destroying the watches and saying "oh look, I received these duffle bags of cash".

No, no, I think this is just blatant scamming.

I guess I could have just called you wrong.

I am used to calling people who have limited knowledge in something and jump to conclusions "idiots". Whether it's a one time thing or a long-term character trait remains to be seen.

The action is still idiotic eitherway.

There are a lot of triggerhappy people on lemmy, but it does seem that the general outlook is quite knowledgeable, and the votes do favor the verbosely-factually-correct.

What in the fuck logic is that?
