BREAKING: Israel's parliament has approved the death penalty BY HANGING as the default for Palestinians convicted of murdering Israelis
Meanwhile, multiple human rights orgs including Israeli orgs like B'TSalem confirm that Israelis kill Palestinians with impunity and face no accountabilty.
This is what apartheid looks like and shame on anyone gaslighting otherwise

I leave the official announcement to you, alternatively wait 3-4 days for it to land in pkgs as well.
Have you noticed the blind spot in media coverage about National Debt?
Pretty much every country is in national debt, BY DESIGN, and right wingers love to be alarmist about it ... despite often being backdoor-funded by the unmentioned privileged 1% who OWN the debt and get paid the huge interest on it while not lifting a finger.
A small percentage of national debts is owned by other countries, but linked to pensions. Most of it is held by private finance - owned by the excessively hoarding wealthiest 1 per cent, which buys and steers narrative to ensure this workshy income stream is taxed at a far lower rate than incomes earned by sweat and tears from hard work. It is a madness based on devaluation and exploitation of 99% of the population's time and effort.
The bone-idle privileged maintain a system which causes infrastructures to fail populations by design, media-badmouthing and strangling healthcare, education etc., shaming people for ageing and needing support they were taxed to ensure etc. Very obviously, this is sociopathic narcissism at play.
Remember this the next time you hear a right winger pretend to represent the people while weaponising national debt or moaning about infrastructure failure.
The debt is NOT the issue. It is a holding vessel for pensions etc.
The issue is the obstruction of change to the HUGE level of tax endlessly being evaded by the 1% who profit from, ringfence and hide behind systems they ensure fail, confuse, and divide populations.
This very watchable simple and short video discusses it well:
So you're telling me that in the future, instead of developing software by writing thoughtful code, we will all be reviewing large PRs generated by applications optimized for making bugs hard to spot, especially when inattentive, say, from exhaustion induced by continuous reviewing of massive amounts of code?
Cool. Cool, cool, cool.
In a statement, Minister for Foreign Affairs Helen McEntee said Ireland condemned the law and urged Israel not to proceed with it.
“Ireland is consistently and strongly opposed to the use of the death penalty in all cases and in all circumstances,” she said. “I am particularly concerned about the de facto discriminatory nature of the Bill as it relates to Palestinians.”
@dch I deeply respect the need to take a deliberative, considered approach. But when the reality in the meantime seems to default to “accept”, it gets more and more concerning the longer it goes on.
I have zero interest in flaming anyone. But what is the most productive way for me, as a personal and professional user of the system for 30+ years, to communicate to core@ and the Foundation the effect this will have on my use and support of the system, and what I’ve heard from others like me?
In a dark but interesting parallel these spheres of war begin to overlap.
Ukraine desperately needs gas and oil to keep its people warm and to fight its war, and funding to support it.
Zelenskyy has moved swiftly to both offer assistance to the Gulf states, and to secure “energy”.
Range anxiety #nzpol cartoon
There's mo way this corrupt and senile Minister complicit with the war crimes of USA and Israel should be allowed anywhere near our next #NZPol government and definitely no way #Aotearoa #NewZealand is going to allow our whenua to be mined by warmongers for rare minerals critical to US weapons of war. #DitchThePricksIn26
