The two of us are humanitarian surgeons. Together, in our combined 57 years of volunteering, we’ve worked on more than 40 surgical missions in developing countries on four continents. We’re used to working in disaster and war zones, of being on intimate terms with death and carnage and despair. None of that prepared us for what we saw in Gaza this spring. Hard to read article, but very recommendable. International aid workers share what they have lived and seen in Gaza.

I live in Spain, I was born here.

You can defend your country from the inside or outside if it goes bad. If the cost of staying may be high, I would understand you leaving. But don't rush into a decision yet, don't stress about it more than needed. Canada is very close, and has universal healthcare. Israel is in economic trouble at best, and on the brink of a war at worst. Europe, I don't know, I don't see very good times ahead.

I understand her position, and while Biden is a candidate, some discretion about the internal talks they may be having is prudent. Maybe he is not quitting after all, all these are rumors, so we'll see. She makes the point that Biden has part of the support of older people who vote a lot. That's important, but Democrats need more than that demographic to win, and right now they have lost plenty compared to four years ago. Also, if he drops, he doesn't need to be put in an asylum right away, he could still be present in the campaign supporting whoever candidate would be chosen, and make a public transition in a way. What you can't do is ask people to believe Biden is an appropriate man to lead the country for the next four years. Nobody in his right mind can believe in that statement after what we have seen.

That doesn't give to what happened in Pennsylvania a bigger relevance, than any other event happening in the world, from the perspective of a greater being. Another thing is what is relevant for the people living today from a geopolitical point of view, and what some people want to spiritually attribute to it, but that would be on them, not on god.

I'm spiritual to a good extent, I think there are ways to connect or disconnect from a greater being, let's say. But it's not god moving the pieces like a person playing a board game. God didn't make the guy miss the shoot, the guy missed it himself. This happens, it's not part of a plan, at least not more than everything else in the universe.

The shooter missed. Like basketball players miss or hit decisive points. Spiritually speaking, whatever we call god wasn't more present in that event than in everything else happening in the world.

It would still be a missed shot, no matter what target, not a miracle. It really happens.

No. Luck = Luck A missed shot is not even that uncommon, ask soldiers or hunters.

God didn't intervene, Trump was lucky, and this happens too. Trump is not chosen by god, he is an evil son of a bitch, probably a pedophile according to the evidence like his good friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the visits to his island, and the case that a girl filed against him, which dropped for the sake of her life.

I would like Gavin Newsom, he crushed DeSantis without effort, and can do the same with Trump. After all the disappointment that Biden has provided, not only for his age and decline, I think the Democrat base deserves something to hold and say, okay, we'll support this one. Someone who can articulate with clarity, point out all the things that need to be pointed out about Trump, Republicans, and their bullshit, and propose better policies to look forward to. He has been loyal to Biden all along, so if his party decided him to run, I assume Biden would endorse him too, and put behind him all the support he got in 2020. It may be Kamala, but she can't articulate as well as Newsom in real-time, which would be much preferable. Seems like the kind of politician who can rehearse some lines, and then put them out in a rally, but not much further than that. She is more likable than Hillary Clinton at least, who was the worst. She has a competent professional look, I guess, but she mostly needs to continue denouncing Trump, selling what the previous administration has done, and show she can go further than that. Whoever gets in the race, needs the endorsement of Biden, Obama, and Sanders from their party at least, and more support from the left-leaning media and also the online ones from the libs like Bryan Tyler Cohen, or Pakman, to even more to the left like TMR, TYT, Hasanabi, etc... They will buy almost anything that is not Biden, and I agree with them on that.

Well, are you volunteering them without asking? I haven't heard they want to do that.

There's almighty god.

You or anyone else? Who would be anyone else? Your cousin? In what setting? You accuse others like you are not hidden behind your computer yourself.

True, the move he made at that precise moment saved his life. If the shooter had shot one second earlier, he would be dead. I think he is in shock yet.

It's awful how we keep hearing so much terror. More bombing of schools, a father crying the loss of his son beaten with hammers... Just because Zionists want to replace the civilian people from a land with theirs, like they've been doing since their project in Palestine started, decades ago.

So the story is that a bullied boy took his dad's weapon, got into the rally, and almost killed the ex-president and candidate with a big chance to win again. Did he act completely alone? Hmm... Another point. People in the public were telling the officials that some guy with a weapon was crawling into a roof three minutes before the shooting. I'm not saying they could take the boy that fast, neither that they couldn't, but they certainly could stop the act and protect Trump until the boy was taken. A case of incompetence? That's what we got? Hmm...

I preferred Marjorie Taylor Greene as VP. What a pity...

It sounds like the worst of the two stages! I don't think it's only Trump, but the Western political reality nowadays. We may be getting into a mixed stage where big greedy corporations ally with fascists, and not in third-world countries. It's going to be bad. If he guessed that Trump would be shot in his ear, that's crazy precise for a medium or whatever that man is. Respect.

Also, South Africans who have visited Palestine claim that the apartheid that's happening there is even worse than the one that they suffered. A two-tier system that benefits the settlers, and is hostile to the Palestinians. The judicial system for example, but not exclusive. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/20/world/middleeast/icj-south-africa-palestinian-israel-un-court.html

At this point it's better Biden doesn't quit, because no replacement is going to beat the hero and martyr that survived an assassination attempt. So better to sacrifice the old man with no future, than burn another candidate in a lost cause. So Biden, go for it! (you decrepit SoaB)

Crazy times, I keep saying this! We hear the shots, he touches his ear, but there's no blood in his hand. It's only bloody when he stands up again after being surrounded by his security guards. Staged. Or he's been shot and he's lucky as fuck. Either way, this gets him the White House, if he hadn't it before.

So the Holocaust was humans killing humans? Is that how we should refer to it from now on? Shouldn't we acknowledge any ethnic variable in these historic events or more recent ones? Look, of course we are all humans, and we should strive to live in peace with each other, because it's true we are really all equal, we share one planet, and we are all related to each other by blood. But even in this equality, there is also some surface cultural variety that has been molded through milenias, that I don't think we should erase, but we could instead celebrate as a common achievement. I think the problem is when some humans get supremacist or engage in things like colonization, or apartheid systems, which are incredibly damaging for the other humans who suffer them.

So the Israeli army used the Hannibal Directive on October 7th, they are in a high grade responsible for the deaths of a big portion of the casualties that day, unnecessary deaths. Some to avoid having to deal with hostages, they preferred their own citizens dead than alive and prevent future negotiations with the enemy. Others because they just fired at everything at once, there are reports of witnesses of even a tank firing a home where there were 14 Israelis of which 13 were killed. Of course, then count those Israelis killed by them as victims of Hamas. Apart from being a very questionable protocol for the lives of their own people and soldiers, there's also the use of the high death toll of 1200 as result, of which they are partially responsible, to justify what they've been doing since then. Which I'll remind a bit, bombing schools, hospitals, homes with families in, basically turning Gaza into a parking lot, and just blatantly shooting at unarmed innocent Palestinian civilians in the streets daily. More than 15.000 known children dead, who knows how many more unknown, and who knows how many injured for life. All this for a land they decided to colonize 70 years ago, which they did using extremely violent means to do so, and this is what they are still doing to this day.

Oh man, a possibility is an understatement. If we reversed the evidence, if Biden was the friend of Epstein, a visitor of his island, and we heard of a lawsuit filed by a minor against him and dropped because of death threats, the right would be rightfully accusing Biden. Trump is a disgusting pedophile, and he should be a pariah in prison for the rest of his life, but instead, he is the leader of the conservative party of America. Bill Clinton was a visitor too, and there are statements saying he liked them young, he is very likely another one. Maybe that's why there is a non-aggression agreement between different powerful forces. And LGTBI+ is in no way a slippery slope for legalizing pedophilia. All these civil right advocacy groups have always rejected the idea of pedophiles being part of their group and acronym. They recognize it as a crime and don't want anything to do with the groups that advocate for pedophilia that exist.
