Why would any Arab-speaking country accept 2M Palestinian refugees?

Here's the coverage you've asked (opinions my own, I do not pretend to rep. anyone)

Israel stated goals of war:

1. Return the hostages

2. Remove Hamas regime from Gaza

3. (arguably done) bring north-Israel communities safely back home

Unstated goals:

1. Open Egypt-Gaza border. This had failed.

2. Create safe zone on the Gaza-Israeli border. This is mostly done in practice. This goal cannot be stated (though it'll save many lives)

Hamas goals:

Read Hamas chapter, or see interviews with captured Hamas militants post 7/10 attack (if you believe it's not scripted)

Gazan who are not part of Hamas regime goals: survive

Wait are you calling me "European"? This is honestly insulting.

Would you please apologize on-record or edit that out? Thanks

And assuming the answer to the questioning is that the war is currently required.

Let's say in order to return the hostages (considered popular amongst the Zionists).

Now what is the practical way to execute the war without the abovementioned consequences?

Many states were "founded on ethnic cleansing". They are widely considered to posses a right of existence, and even expected to defend their citizens.

(excuse me for ignoring the history trolling)

The Hebrew version had also distanced itself from what would be considered Journalism. But with no real field reporting from Gaza, that's the info you can get, and you have to guesstimate the reality from there.

Is there a way for IDF to fight Hamas without "inflict war crimes, or terrorism on civilians" though? How would that work in practical terms?

Are we talking about the expansion out of Lebanon in 2000 or the expansion out of Gaza in 2005?

They are considerably better off than Gazans, though I'd agree "living in piece and prosperity" would not be the first adjective comes to mind.

So ChatGPT-3 took ~1.3 GWh to train. And it provides some questionable value to people.

While you're at it, Bitcoin, a by definition no-value product, takes ~100 TWh to run annually.

Excuse the whataboutism.

You’re overthinking. It’s just a PR piece

Racism is embedded in human nature and in every culture. Though it takes different forms. I don't think "Indians" deserve any special mention on that one.

Let me help you. Searching is difficult. Examples are in English, to avoid any "lost in translation" issues.

Here's Al-Jazeera echoing completely made up rape accusations. Why were the accusations retracted? https://honestreporting.com/damage-done-how-al-jazeeras-fake...

Here's the (English) report on the Israeli strike (that wasn't) that (didn't) kill 500 in Al-Ahli hospital - a widely quoted and echoed further lie https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2023/10/17/photos-an-israe...

I can go on but I think it's better you continue the search.

[EDIT: fixed typo in hospital name]

In order for that to happen, a Shabak rep. Will have to provide statement that Haaretz poses serious threat to the national security of Israel. Call me when that happens (spoiler: it won’t).

Now that would make an interesting hn story.

[EDIT: sorry, having read the bill again, it's also required for Haaretz to be "a foreign news channel"]
