    Yep. And it's working. WCK is now going to be too afraid to operate in Gaza. It's a huge blow to Gazan aid overall and that's what makes me believe it's intentional.

    The problem is this kind of thing happens with such frequency that at some point it becomes incredibly unlikely to be an accident. This is only the latest group of foreign aid workers and/or press to be killed by the IDF either negligently or intentionally since Oct. 7th. It just so happens that this time it happened to a US-based organization that is entirely above reproach. It's funny you say some of this when Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed to not give a single shit about the optics, and is pushing forward as fast as possible in order to keep his own ass in power and out of prison.

    This is also pretty much exactly what you get with an obligatory conscript army.

    The Western world simply outsources its guilt to Palestinians, especially Germany.

    Yeah that's fair enough I guess. It just doesn't stand on its own two legs in my estimation. Especially when you consider they've been hitting foreign aid and the press for 6 months. At some point it stops being an accident.

    It should be concerning to everyone that a country with deliverable nuclear weapons seems to be actively trying to isolate itself from the rest of the world at a record pace, while led by a PM that needs to stay in power to avoid prison. I feel like nobody is talking about this and it's been in the back of my mind for a while.

    The WCK vehicles were coordinating with the IDF, following an IDF approved route, and were in a de-conflicted area. You're embarrassing yourself by bending over backwards this far by trying to rationalize this as a mere mistake. Seriously, fucking stop. It's gross.

    I'm also walking back my stance of not blaming every day Israelis too much for the actions of Bibi & Co. https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2024-04-01/ty-article/.premium/polls-show-that-israelis-continue-to-choose-this-war-even-if-they-dont-want-netanyahu/0000018e-98d8-d591-a5cf-9fdddf100000 The rot in that country seems to go much deeper than I gave it credit for.

    Makes you think about who else is quiet, yeah? For example, the current sitting President of the United States of America: Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. You know, the same guy who heaped praise on Jose Andres and WCK for feeding Ukrainian refugees, and has notably not done so for his work in Gaza. I'm a big fan of a lot of stuff Biden has done, and that's why his unacceptably poor handling of this situation infuriates me and is going to hurt him (and not in an insignificant way) in the presidential election. Your head is firmly in the sand if you don't understand that. On this topic, he has been Coward in Chief and needs to do better NOW, not later.

    They've been fucking with aid the entire time, of course they did it on purpose. They're not even trying to feign confusion about their targets here.

    I still want to support the idea of Israel as well, it just doesn't have to be this way. It CAN'T be this way any longer. What you said in bold is spot on. Israel's actions are only going to make things worse in the long run for everyone which is what I've been trying to say all along. e: Also, you were always right about some bad actors using the ceasefire movement to further anti-semitism. It's just an unfortunate reality that we have to try and mitigate as much as possible.

    They really do. I hate this.

    Meanwhile, it's always a sign that you're on the right side when you start passing laws to eject more media from your country. Clock is ticking, Bibi, enjoy prison. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-04-01/ty-article/netanyahu-pushes-ahead-law-for-immediate-shutdown-of-al-jazeera-in-israel/0000018e-99f0-de2c-afff-bbf8be670000

    Of what, your dignity?

    My eye twitches every time I think about a situation like this. Fucking Beard had to learn that lesson at our expense in that moment.

    Pretty good day for NC State (sorry Lady Horns)

    I'm not even sure Burns will be his primary defender. They got a couple other bigs they might try in order to keep him out of foul trouble.
  21. Brian Fantana
    3 weeks ago this dude was almost certainly getting fired
  22. Brian Fantana
    I think he is a good contrast to what I was saying earlier about Edey...Burns is too fat to be a good rebounder but his post moves and touch are miles ahead of Edey, where Edey is more just huge without great moves/touch but he's so huge he's just naturally a great rebounder. That looked like a clean block

    Eat shit Filipowski you bitch

    Why'd we have to draw THIS 11 seed in Rd 1 wtf

    It's a dumb question. Anyone would take advantage of what he brings. His skills are demonstrably middling. He can't dribble, he can't shoot, his touch on any shot that isn't a dunk/layup is laughable, and he is a below average FT shooter despite literally living there. He's not even a good defender outside of being so large that his personal gravity by itself just prevents driving to the basket. On the other hand, he's athletic, smart and knows how his bread is buttered. His post moves aren't advanced or remarkable but he uses the ones he has effectively, most of the time. And he knows he can get away with more contact than most bigs. Regardless, his game is entirely predicated on him being able to overpower anyone who's guarding him because he's 7'4" and weighs 300 pounds. If he were a normal sized big he'd be completely unremarkable in every way and I absolutely stand by that. It's horrible to watch as a fan.
