Sadly, it goes both ways: This woman devoted her life to try and bring peace to this land, but it didn't help her on Oct-7th

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/11/13/canada-peace-activist-vivian-silver-dead-hamas/

Silver, well known in Israel for her peace activism, was among at least 80 people killed during Hamas militants’ attack on the Beeri Kibbutz

Silver moved from Winnipeg to Israel in 1974 and was a longtime member of Women Wage Peace and other organizations campaigning for peace in the region.

She was dedicated to denouncing Israel’s treatment of Palestinians; she had fought against the blockade of Gaza, in place since 2007, and would pick up Gazan children at the border to drive them to Israeli hospitals.

Yep, the one where they broke into airport and painted private jets made a bit more sense...

Note that most of the building industry in Israel consists of Palestinian workers, and the current events froze all building projects, amid fears of terrorist groups sneaking into cities - thus negatively affecting these families income.

Same guys who told Putin Ukraine will surrender in 3-5 days?

The agency, known as UNRWA, posted its warning on social media on Tuesday. The Israel Defense Forces reposted it and said that Hamas militants have more than 500,000 litres of fuel in tanks inside besieged Gaza.

It just feels weird to me that digital version of a book is treated as having limited amount...

It's just bytes in some computer.
Why would user A need to wait until user B is finished with the book, before being able to read it?

If that means we'll have to forfeit the use of, for example computer systems, or some actually vital modern infrastructure - I don't think we'll agree to the ban.

On the other hand if their use is unavoidable, for any valid reason - there should be sufficient effort in recycling them...

look what theirs weak bombs did too our poor people. Be sad for us please.

The article is not about victims of rocket launches...

[-] burchalka@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

Yeah, they had to do this in face of allegations of fake claims. Sadly truth is worse than even the lies...

Isn't this the dude that ran away to North Korea to escape discipline action, and then was passed to China by the Koreans?

But they still struggle. What's worse is that some employees are convinced too. Yesterday had a talk with friend from financial sector - she's convinced that during the pandemic shutdowns their organization performance was significantly lower. I tend to attribute it to their management style - old school corporate, with lots of meetings, and overall age - most employees above 50 according to her.
