How the Saddam Hussein figure remained in the world’s collective consciousness for over 20 years is nothing short of amazing to me.

It’s just the first time I hear that. Now that you mention it, white supremacist subreddits like /r/europe are pro-Israel, probably only because it conveniently resonates with their anti-immigrant and anti-muslim messages.

But this conflict sparked discussion from all sides since 75 years ago, so placing most pro-Israel to the nazi bin is as correct as placing most pro-Palestine to the terrorist bin. It’s like saying the people that support Palestine do so because they’re anti-Israel.

Also, I believe western countries support Israel for many reasons, but the common people do it because of how close their values and culture are to their own. I can’t believe that it is historic white supremacism that would drive this support.

What kind of generalization is that?

Despite of who’s to blame for this conflict, does rounding up the bodies for the camera and running audio cables over them turn anyone else’s stomach?

That’s a relief, despite her current state. I really hope she gets sent back home asap

The girl paraded on a truck lying motionless, her face down, with her legs completely mangled up, while kids were spitting on her?

I still can’t understand why naming Hamas a terrorist group goes against their “present only the facts” view. It’s the same group that raped and killed civilians just six days ago. They posted videos of their horrid raid on the internet and plan to stream hostage executions. These are facts, it is not subjective. Isn’t this the plain definition of terrorism? Why is BBC reluctant to brand a group that performs acts of terror as terrorists? This goes for how they treated IRA stories as well. I really can’t see how this adheres to good journalism principles, unlike many people here seem to be praising. It just seems to me a weird hill to die on.

Containers share the system’s resources with the OS; VMs take these resources for themselves.
