<p>You know that there are studies addressing this, right? I didn't just make it up.<p>Here's an overview study that reviewed other studies: <a href="https://jphe.amegroups.org/article/view/9493/html" rel="nofollow">https://jphe.amegroups.org/article/view/9493/html</a><p>"Pre-COVID-19 interviews with a high-income vaccine hesitant sample in Perth, Australia found that vaccine hesitancy was based on an inflated sense of agency in making medical decisions without doctors or public health officials, and a preference for “natural” methods of healthcare (30)."<p>"A similar study in the United States reported on interviews from 25 White mothers in a wealthy community who refused vaccination for their children (31). These participants reported high levels of perceived personal efficacy in making health decisions for their children and higher confidence in preventing illness through individual “natural” measures such as eating organic food and exercising. Additionally, these participants report lower perceived risk of infection or disease, which is contrasted with their high perceived risk of vaccination."<p>"Vaccine hesitancy among those with privilege may be more than just a product of resource access. There is evidence that individuals with high socioeconomic status perceive themselves to be more capable, hardworking, important, and deserving of resources and privileges than others (32,33)"</p>

<p>Maybe if the GEOS-powered C128 also had a 65c816 CPU, a vastly more powerful CPU than the 8502 without being as expensive as the 68000 was at the time. The C128 needed more memory.<p>Commodore needed more memory. We already had megabyte machines in the late 80's.</p>

<p>Your support for the continued existence of the state of Israel is plenty cause to sue. You really should be careful as you now have even larger legal exposure given the UN has concluded Israel is committing genocide.<p>Bad things happen to people that continue to support genocidal regimes, legally speaking.</p>

<p>Because it would be in the Hamas-massacre.net site if it was real. That's an IDF run site.  They can't even confirm any rape victims on that site. They only have non-confirmed allegations on that site.<p>And, no, they didn't get permission from any of the other victims families to publish on that site.<p>So, the IDF literally has no direct confirmation of rape.</p>

<p>OK but that's just name-calling, instead of an argument. An argument is that Hamas has a right to kill their foreign invaders, including the enemy combatants who happen to be dancing at a music festival, for example.<p>And you're name-calling because you're trying to normalize the existence of an occupation force in foreign lands.<p>Not everyone agrees that Israel has a right to exist. If you believe European Jews have a right to kill Palestinian children to steal their land to establish their mediterranean resort home they call Israel, then you need to explain that, instead of just name-calling.<p>Tell us WHY you believe European Jews have a right to kill Palestinian children to steal their land in order to establish the state of Israel.<p>At this point you might as well assume everyone is antisemitic, but its still your job to get them on your side.</p>

<p>Please tell your commanders at the IDF that under no definition of genocide is "number of deaths" a consideration.<p>Genocide is defined by intent, and the European Jews have intended to remove or kill all Palestinians since they began the Zionist project last century, culminating in their decision to start a war by attacking and invading Palestine in 1947/1948, with Palestine being occupied by a foreign invasion force ever since.<p>Israelis are guilty of genocide.</p>
