You know this is a good plan because all the orthodox hardliners on both the Israeli and Palestinian side would hate it.

Speaking as an American Jew, Hamas should release the hostages. Until they do, a ceasefire feels impossible.

This headline is terrible journalism. Guess I shouldn't expect much from a random website from Morocco when it comes to unbiased reporting on Israel though.

Insane that this comment is downvoted. There are 1400 dead Israeli civilians and hundreds more still held hostage by Hamas. If they want peace so bad, maybe release the hostages?

Same, except justifying Hamas killing Israeli civilians.

I didn't get a ban, but definitely had a post "disappeared" with no explanation because I had the audacity to mention the extreme anti-Israel bias around here.

Here's a good article: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/18/1206795861/heres-the-available-evidence-of-what-happened-at-al-ahli-arab-hospital-in-gaza
Relevant quote:
Photos from the following day also appear to show little damage to the hospital buildings, and a relatively small blast zone from the explosion. That damage pattern is inconsistent with a large air-dropped bomb, which would leave a crater and create a shockwave that would damage or destroy surrounding structures, says Marc Garlasco, a former targeting officer for the U.S. military who now works for PAX, a Netherlands-based non-profit.
"It's very clear to me that this is not an airstrike." Garlasco says. Israeli bombs typically leave craters three to ten meters in size, and are designed to create a large shockwave that propels shrapnel over a large area.
If you look at the photos of the site there's no crater, no destroyed buildings, just burned cars.

You ever drive down a rural road, and out the window you suddenly come across an old shuttered up house? The kind of house with five cars parked on the front lawn in various states of disrepair? With overgrown bushes pushing into the peeling paint of the wooden siding alongside a giant novelty bigfoot that seems to stare at you as you zip by down the road? The one with the chain link fence that's torn in five places and yellowed trailer up on blocks? The one with a dog tied to a post, barking it's head off outside, so you know someone actually lives there?
I imagine these threads are like a window into the lives of the people in those houses. It's like they're living in a whole different society, with their weird quirks and vaguely unsettling rituals.
Every time I'm like, damnit Lae'zel get out the way! Let the grown ups talk! Your charisma is 8!
Thought it was funny how it felt like such a relief getting 3-3 with a failed U/G draft deck, and such a disappointment going 4-3 with the streamlined R/W aggro deck I got right after.

It was still down for me as of a few hours ago, haven't checked recently though.
Saw it was still offline a couple hours ago with no news on the status page. Is it still down for everyone?

That sack looked very routine too, no huge blindsided hit, just a regular takedown with a slightly weird angle on his legs. Real bad luck.

You need to differentiate between poor in a wealthy country vs. globally poor. I know plenty of "poor" people in the US who can still scrape together enough cash for a plane ticket to go on vacation, but they're still in tons of debt with zero savings.
What's up with the super old posts in the hot feed? They always show up near the top in strange clusters, too. I'll be scrolling through, seeing posts from 5 min to an hour old, then suddenly 10 posts in a row from 2 years ago, then back to seeing all posts from 5 minutes ago. I know I can sort by top day or whatever, but it just seems like such a weird bug, wondering if anyone knows why it happens.

Ya, if I remember right FiveThirtyEight had Trump at around 30% chance in 2016, so slightly unlikely but not exactly a crazy longshot.
