Incorrect. The Western public was always told to support Israel, because Israel is the main Western ally in the region.

By the way things are going there will be no Palestine soon.

Maybe hard to swallow but might be true nonetheless:

Hamas had a historical victory. It will probably be its last.

Israel was put into a geopolitical corner with only one option: destroy Hamas, turn Gaza into Carthage and take control of it.

There was a lot of support for the Palestinian struggle among the Western public, that's mostly gone now.

The world had enough of the Arab-Palestinian/Israeli conflict after decades of slaughter, they don't care anymore if both sides just go to hell.

Nobody wants the conflict to expand into neighboring countries, neither Arabs, the West, China, Iran or Russia, so they'll let Israel turn Gaza into Carthage.

Было ощущение, что в ностре становится так мало людей, что я должен был подписаться на всех оставшихся, чтобы совсем все не разбежались :)

Но сейчас я все больше думаю о том, как свое сообщество собрать здесь.

Сократил количество подписок с 200 до 20, чем неимоверно улучшил опыт и впечатление от ностра.

Скажу непопулярную вещь, но алгоритмы нужны. По крайней мере, свои собственные. Все время оказывается, что я пропускаю публикации своих друзей, но не пропускаю второсортные мемы про биткоин. Хочется понимать, что происходит в сообществе, но соблюдать гигиену при этом не получается.

No, it was a website, that hosted a script that runs in the browser. You plug in your npub and it goes through every note and event and rebroadcasts it to everywhere.

I'm not saying it's not plausable. Totally plausable. Just that no evidence has been presented. Is it conspiratorial? Yes. Actors for nations conspire to do that nation's bidding. No suprises there.

In the last week there has been a lot of drumming up of support for Israel in the West. Gruesome scenes intended to enrage people so that people in the West emotionally want revenge and get behind Israel.

I guess that propaganda isn't playing in Russia?

I noticed something yesterday. I noticed that in several pictures of dead bodies that were killed by Hamas, the bodies were all men. And I noticed videos of women being held alive. And I wondered "are Hamas really indiscriminately killing women and children and beheading children?" So I started searching for all the video and photo evidence. Someone pointed me to Ben Shapiro's podcasts which have been showing lots of these as a way to prove who Hamas is, so I looked through all of that. Far too much time, and really hard to watch all that. But I felt it was important (I kept the sound off - I didn't want to be influenced by his claims).

What I discovered is that there isn't any hard video evidence of women or children being killed by Hamas. There are two pieces of evidence that maybe they were, but not conclusive, and I'll describe those below.

I not defending the killing of civilians. But in truth, I cannot know if the plain clothed men who were killed were civilians or not, all I can tell is that they were in plain clothes. So it is possible Hamas are engaging in war according to the rules of war. I doubt it's quite that clean, I think maybe they are killing civilian men, but I won't pass judgement without solid evidence.

The statement "when people tell you who they are, believe them" is not evidence. People say all kinds of dumb shit that they don't back up.

We never saw evidence of the beheaded babies.

We never saw bodies of the rave dancers. I saw a picture that claimed to be, that looked like clothing layed out, not even bodies just clothing, and another of busted up cars, and a video of someone paragliding in. But not killing, no bodies, not even a report of which sex was killed.

Lots of people saying things, making claims, is not evidence. I have to ignore all the stories.

The woman in the truck with a fair amount of skin showing and blood, and a leg bent at an odd angle: she does not seem like she was killed by being shot, because to bend the leg like that takes a lot of mechanical force. The most likely thing to cause such force is a vehicle. So she was involved in some automobile accident. And why would they take her somewhere in a truck? Why not just leave her dead body on the ground? Maybe they were taking her to a hospital/morgue. Inconclusive that they killed her, because normally they would have just shot her.

Why do we have no videos of dead women or children who were clearly shot? There are plenty of men who were clearly shot.

Beheading a dead man ... I'm not bothered by that. Once someone is dead, they're just meat. I'm all too familiar with that as I slaughter sheep on my farm. It's the killing that I'm bothered by, not what people do with the dead meat.

The other evidence was 4 women being escorted somewhere. Then a second video of the four women laying down near a path by a beach or other sandy area. They demonstrated by clothing colors that they were the same four women. There was no video connecting these two, where the women were allegedly killed. The second video does not show any blood or bullet wounds, and the women appear to be lying in normal poses. It is possible that they were "released" and the soldiers had them lie face down and count to one-thousand, to make sure the soldiers weren't followed by these women.

I don't know the truth of any of this, but I thought it was interesting that I can't find clear hard evidence of the claims.

On the other side, there is lots of videos of burnt live babies, burnt dead babies, etc, and carpet bombing that clearly is killing civilians.

White stuff!

Notes are like a message in a bottle

У меня был очень плохой опыт с китайским кофе, но я надеюсь, что это его уже на месте испортили.

Про рынок: кофе все еще широко доступен в России, а доля стоимости зерна в чашке не превышает 10%. Удивляюсь статьям типа "В РОССИИ ИСПОРТИТСЯ КОФЕ" всякий раз, когда рубль теряет 10%.

How do we call "Nostr" apps that just login with Nostr but save everything the user creates in their own centralized database instead of our relays? 🤔
