  • oops, you left out this part:

    However, it has not given details on the locations and circumstances, saying only that they were “martyred on the road to Jerusalem" - a phrase it has been using to refer to fighters killed by Israel.

    Also, even if you were right about where the numbers are coming from, that article still says that half of the casualties were civilian non-combatants.

    Sure, it’s fun to watch Trump get ejected from his party like a parasite from a rectum, but this feels like one of those ‘live long enough to see yourself become the villan’ moments that I hope I’m wrong about.


  • Browsing their coms can be a pretty unique experience, especially if you go in with a preformed idea of what their communities are like. There’s a huge spread of interests and experiences, and sometimes you can be browsing a niche community and forget that these were the people posting BPB on lemmy.world threads a year ago.

    Knowing the academic writings and history they’re referencing helps a lot with understanding where they are coming from, even if you may not agree with all of it.
