@npub1grx…uxfe Israel doesn't just want to exist. It wants the right to choose its own borders.

@npub1grx…uxfe I choose to believe Israel when they say they want Palestinians to get out of Palestine.

@npub1grx…uxfe you’re arguing that maybe the Israelis didn’t know who they were, even though they’d been told, and that maybe they then just decided: don’t know who this is, I guess we better kill them.

@npub1grx…uxfe there is no question they were not eligible targets. Netanyahu himself has acknowledged that.
He is claiming that it was ‘unintended’, ‘tragic’, and that ‘it happens’.

@npub1vzq…gn6z @npub1grx…uxfe I’m not convinced deep fakes will be the game changer some ppl expect. Because most ppl can’t pick shallow fakes and the world has not yet collapsed because of it.

The placebo effect still works for people who understand the placebo effect.

Complication.
For some people, for some conditions, homeopathic products work. It's the placebo effect. We don't understand it, but we know it works. At least for some people and some conditions.

@npub1y0s…pzt3 They may or may not believe in the very intangible power of God. But they certainly believe in the very tangible power of the Church.

@npub1fwq…0dns "evidence within mathematics for square root of -1"
Of course the square root of -1 doesn't exist. Neither does -1. Nor does +1.
But you can use all 3 of these things to describe the physical world. (See what I did there?)
They all have consistent well defined properties. Unlike God.

@npub1kpw…xzz4 @npub1jga…hx76 @npub1jqc…3mpt So that's an example of someone who wasn't trying to kill anyone being killed by someone with a gun. But let's count that as one. In 2012.
One in 10 years? Is that the best you can do?
Are you a serious person?
