Do me a favor and check how much these executives make. Please. Tell me how much free money they have to make massive infrastructure projects.
Next time try to actually know the minimal amount of information about something before you default to your blind talking point spiel. It’s really embarrassing
Nah, even white cis hetero christian men are all anti-establishment now. Its cool and hip to be antiestablishment leaving the real establishment chads as oppressed 😔

People like the person you responded to are so funny because they wrap around and become racist. They actually believe that people have no agency and that they need to be told what to do and how to do things. It was the big bad British teaching them bad things that they can’t think for themselves. Smh.
Bettersten Wade’s search for her adult son ended when she discovered that an officer had run him over — and without telling her, authorities buried him in a pauper’s field.
They literally think anything they don’t like is fascism. And anything that can tangentially be connected in any way to their holy list of fascism as literally fascism with logic no less esoteric and convoluted than horoscopes and tea readings.
They literally are incapable of caring. They’ve been carefully oppressed for a century to instill maximum apathy to anything. Son died to alcoholism? Such is life. Daughter beaten by boyfriend to near death? Such is life. Oligarch stole more money and poisoned us? Such is life. Father sent to prison for speaking ill of government? Such is life. Son forced to go to war and killed in combat with his face blown off in an excruciating and horrible death? Such is life.

Everyone in Russia tbh. Maniac dictators that makes 0 effort to hide how much they hates their people and are willing to exploit and murder them for another penny.
Inside Gaza, cut off from the world by a near total blockade, Israeli airstrikes have decimated entire neighborhoods, leveling homes, schools and mosques.

“With regards to reports on social media of looting of an UNRWA warehouse…” What do you mean by “reports on social media”??? That was you fam???
Considering UNRWA’s history with violent threats and attacks from Hamas for talking poorly of them, I have strong reason to believe that their walk back was done under duress.
According to initial reports it was enough for 8 days. Not an insane amount of course. Under the assumption that it did occur (which I believe to be more likely than not), i feel like one could easioy see how this event would make nations hesitant to send fuel which could end up in the hands of Hamas and other militant groups that use fuel for their rockets and combat.
A desperate terrorist group will definitely eye any fuel it can including those given for humanitarian causes. That leaves nations with a difficult yet fairly obvious choice given the circumstances. 1. Provide fuel and hope that it isnt taken (of course if it is taken then they still end up with no fuel) or 2. Not risk more literal fuel used against them.
Oh no i conflated the 8 day figure with another article about hospitals from last week. That is completely my bad. You are right here.
Reading articles right now it does appear that it is Isreal that is not allowing fuel to be delivered to Gaza while allies are trying to plead with Israel to allow for safe passage of humanitarian aid. Article from minutes ago reuters.com/…/israel-promises-unrelenting-attacks…
It still remains difficult because of how Hamas is not bound by any pressure to follow the agreement for safe passage of aid. What an awful situation. Israel is definitely being overzealous in not allowing the US to let fuel in on the aid convoys agreed on.
The item that was not allowed is fuel as Israel claimed that Hamas has and will steal it. But the US and Canada have both claimed to be negotiating with israel to find out a way that would allow them to get fuel to Gazan hospitals.
But so far in combination with the evidence/claims I posted earlier in our discussion, albeit released by the IDF, points towards Hamas stealing resources from hospitals and hoarding it for themselves. Which is consistent with their leader’s values and their complete disregard for Palestinians’ lives. Even one of Hamas’ officials blatantly said himself that they do not care about Palestinians and that it is the UN’s responsibility.
His life hinges on the constant flow of electricity, which is in danger of running out imminently unless the hospital can get more fuel for its generators. Once the generators stop, hospital director Iyad Abu Zahar fears that the babies in the ward, unable to breathe on their own, will perish....
Absolutely hate this. Hamas is far far far far worse. I can’t believe progressives are trying to two sides fucking Hamas. Hamas who has and does murder any queer folk and expression.
Ya ya ya. I get it your mad and fuming that you were so wrong. That you sucked Hamas’ dick just because your only set of beliefs and morals can be summarized as “us bad” but it’s okay. Maybe next time you’ll be right. You are bound to. Btw still waiting on that ban. Any day now. Go cry to your mod friends. Go on. Scoot
So when is your mod friend gonna do anything? Are you gonna keep crying? Shitting and pissing? Oh don’t worry, most Palestinians believe you are subhuman. I think you very much are human. A very very very stupid one, yet human nonetheless.
And yet you were the one so vehemently defending terrorist and taking their word as the gospel lmao. Come on im still waiting. Dont tell me? Did your little mod friends ignore you? Must be quite the common occurrence. Just like real life.
You still can’t even admit you were wrong lmao. Fucking loser. How did your crying sesh with the mods go? “Wah wah I read books wah” come on I’m still waiting hamas cocksucker
For 1, you are making a false claim. It was not intercepted. If you knew literally anything about the iron dome you’d know it wasn’t intercepted. But thank you for proving your lack of knowledge. So much good your claimed book readings did for you.
Im not gonna argue against all your schizo ramblings. You can always just make up a new argument I didn’t and won’t make. Unironically take your meds and actually watch the videos, geolocation info surrounding the event because, judging by your consistently wrong retelling of events, you actually have no idea what happened and it is embarrassing that you still are so vehemently defending Hamas after all this time. You tankie lot is lost. The rest of the world has moved on and called your lot absolute morons. Good luck with that. Maybe one day your schizo ramblings will be respected by a real person and not just your internet fake friends.
