Get on Ozempic or Mounjaro

Why is a military tunnel under a hospital? (I don’t believe that Gaza had a single orphanage.)

It’s good actually that the mail doesn’t censor based on viewpoint

How is it “indiscriminate” if solely Hezbollah operatives were targeted?

A booby-trapped baby stroller is indiscriminate - it goes off when anyone touches it, friend, foe, or child. Israel attacked the communications of its enemy and literally nothing else. That’s inherently discriminating between friend and foe.

Yup, and it seems like more and more that it wasn’t explosives, but regular pagers tampered with to explode using parts they already contain as to not arouse suspicion.

Totally false.

Honestly, the real question to me is how many innocent people were maimed, injured, or killed in this attack.

Quite a bit fewer than 0.1% of the individual detonations appear to have harmed anyone except the Hezbollah operative assigned to the pager, so this doesn’t actually appear to be a question. The attack was extremely discriminate and targeted.

but if they’re in a cafe they’re not the only ones getting hurt.

In every case in which one of these went off in a cafe, the intended target was the only one hurt.

That’s the true crime, the potentially disproportionate massacre of innocent civilians.

But that isn’t what happened. The opposite happened.

They weren’t “ordinary devices”, they were encrypted pagers manufactured specifically at Hezbollah’s request for their own use.

Equally embarrassing? Doubtful.

Why does it have to be equally embarrassing? It just has to be embarrassing enough that they’d take steps to conceal it. Which they did. It doesn’t have to be the most embarrassing situation, just one of the ones that would spur them to act.

One is a market which can be blamed on illegal activity even after being shut down and ‘little’ people arrested.

But they did shut it down and they did arrest people and they even seized and incinerated every animal at the market without taking samples or even identifying and logging the species.

On the other hand they didn’t shut down WIV, or really do anything to it at all.

but the lab’s proximity to the outbreak is incredibly suspect.

It’s 8km away, across a river.

How does the joke reference that?

No, the famine happened after. You’ve got it backwards.

The famine was started because of a widespread potato blight. It’s not called the Potato Famine because that’s all they could eat; it’s called that because that’s what they couldn’t eat.

Wtf is that mean.

It means you have to actually go to the tunnels and fight, like the IDF is doing.

And causing human zoonosis for that whole time

There are wet markets all over China and have been for…ever?

Sure, and they all result in zoonotic illness.

The lab location and research done means there is a lot of potential incentive for the Chinese government, the lab and even researchers in the field to not have it be a lab leak…

They also have incentive for the origin not to be a live animal market that they very publicly had claimed to have already shut down.

It’s equally embarrassing either way, so the embarrassment proves nothing.

I mean you’ve seen people with COVID by now; did they look much different?

Hamas doesn’t use pagers, they use tunnels

There’s literally a dish called “Irish potatoes.”

Irish cuisine has a lot of potato dishes. Because they were cultivating potatoes.
