I write about war and disease … but currently mostly #terrorism and the way the label is used by people who are killing more people than the terrorists.

I am a pacifist with narrow exceptions for self defence, and I am still angry that we let the pandemic become a forever problem.

I started learning #Yiddish in August 2023, but I haven't got far. I found the language interesting because I already knew a bit of Arabic and more of German. I can read about 6 alphabets and Abjads but I can only usefully communicate in English.

I live in one of the healthiest and most peaceful places on Earth (somewhere in the #WesternPacific region) but my country is only the "least bad". We need to be a far less selfish and less greedy nation. We need to shun our current murderous so-called allies, and be a much more generous to our neighbours.

Personally I am an atheist, but I believe that religion is usually more beneficial than harmful. I hold religion to the same standards as any other ideology.

I'm not entirely serious about the intent or active collaboration, that would involve any of those 3 being able to cooperate with anyone?

But it's definitely the current effect

I've been worried about Daesh coming back ever since I heard "destroy Hamas"

I've never quite believed #Daesh work for #Israel or the place south of Canada, but over the past year or two it looks more like those two work for Daesh?

Hundreds or thousands of Daesh orphans have been left in the terrorism pressure cookers / concentration camps till they're old enough to be dangerous.

Now they're destroying the most powerful #Shia state!?

Will "the new Islamophobia" be challenging Daesh's right to exist as an Islamic State?

Prisons holding ISIS members in Syria a breeding ground for radicalization, officials say

It’s been five years since the Islamic State was defeated by a U.S.-led military campaign in Syria. But today some 10,000 ISIS fighters remain jailed inside Syrian detention centers. Human rights groups call conditions in the prisons abusive and local authorities warn they are a breeding ground for radicalization and an Islamic State revival. Special correspondent Leila Molana-Allen reports.

I watched it several times, the only 6th "finger" is completely obscured by the markup, in the other versions it does look weird, but it looks weird because of the lighting.

The hand is about as thick as a finger, the bright light on the lower edge looks like a 6th finger.

We don't see objects, we see light. Being lit from the front makes the edge of his hand look like a finger. Normally that would be a dark shaddow from his finger.

The circled hand at that angle has five.

The other circled hand has five. The part labelled as a sixth is mostly covered by the mark, but in images where it's visible it is clearly part of his hand.

I could replicate his angle, but not the stage lighting. He has a bright light in front of him. This means unusual parts of his hand get brightly lit. In most lighting the lower edge of someone's hand is in a shaddow.

That is what a hand looks like at that angle. If you really believe there's anything weird about it then the problem is that you don't normally pay this much attention to hands.

I've not studied much AI but I've studied human antomy, art, and old fashioned technical drawing (all in pencil, with real paper and rulers etc.)

This doesn't need AI to explain, it looks the way you'd expect it to look.

Israeli propaganda contains more than enough real lies, don't discredit critics by making a fuss about nothing.

The explosive sound that erupted that night from the death cell in Jerusalem went from one end of the world to the other. The two sons of Jerusalem below, who arrived on a path shrouded in secrets and clothed in such abysmal grandeur to Jerusalem above, embarrassed the world, awakened ancient fears in it and gave rise to the rumor that, after the deaths of Feinstein and Barzani, the same mysterious inscription from the Book of Daniel was found engraved on the walls of their cell: "Manna, manna, tekel and persin," which prophesies the day of the coming destruction of the kingdoms of evil in the world, a day when the God of Israel will take account of Israel's enemies, count and weigh their sins and break their kingdom.

Britain's rule in the Land of Israel is broken: the remaining hanging rope, light on the first day of Iyar 5707, hangs helplessly in the hands of The British executioner in the gallows in Jerusalem, ascended and blessed, and from day to day he tightened his grip more and more around the neck of the foreign regime until his soul was gone.

If you will, the story of the war and death of Meir Feinstein and Moshe Barzani is a simple story, but if you will, it is also a legend.

קול הנפץ שבקע אותו לילה מצינוק המוות בירושלים הלך מסוף העולם ועד סופו. שני בני ירושלים של מטה, שהגיעו בדרך אפופת רזים ועוטה הוד תהומי שכזה לירושלים של מעלה, הביכו את העולם, העירו בו פחדים קדומים והולידו את השמועה, שלאחר מותם של פיינשטיין וברזני, נמצאה חקוקה על כותלי התא שלהם אותה הכתובת המיסתורית שבספר דניאל: "מנא מנא תקל ופרסין", המנבאה את יום בוא החורבן למלכות הרשע בעולם, יום בו יעשה אלוהי ישראל חשבון עם אוייבי ישראל, ימנה וישקול את חטאיהם וישבור את ממלכתם.

שלטונה של בריטניה בארץ ישראל נשבר: חבל התלייה שנשאר, אור ליום א' באייר תש"ז, תלוי אין-אונים בידי התליין הבריטי בתא התלייה בירושלים, עלה ונברך ונתהדק פה מיום ליום יותר ויותר סביב צווארו של השלטון הזר עד שיצאה נשמתו.

אם תרצו סיפור מלחמתם ומותם של מאיר פיינשטיין ומשה ברזני הוא סיפור פשוט, אבל אם תרצו הוא גם אגדה.
