It is not clear where Israel plans on evacuating the Palestinian citizens, as most can’t return to the northern region due to widespread destruction.

They also more than likely cannot move into Egypt without violating a four-decade peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.

The border between Gaza and Egypt is already a humanitarian aid entry point.

The plan has been met with criticism, including from the US, as Israel has intentions of moving ground forces into the city.

I am sure it will be fine. IDF has shown that they go to great lengths to protect innocent palestinians.

For real, it has some "sell their flooded houses to aquaman" vibes. Evacuate where? There is nowhere to evacuate. It would have been funny, if it wasnt so tragic.

 

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday ordered his military to prepare an evacuation plan for Palestinian citizens in Rafah ahead of the expected invasion.

What if he is a time traveller? Both Mitterrand and Kohl ruled in the 90s. Maybe he was supposed to travel to the 90s to save the future. But his time machine malfunctioned and arrived in the 2020s.

 

U.S. President Joe Biden mistakenly referred to a conversation he had with Angela Merkel in 2021 as having taken place with the late German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who died in 2017, on Wednesday night, his second such mixup this week.

 

Russia's electoral authorities claimed Nadezhdin's campaign had submitted too many defective signatures in support of his presidential bid.

 

Hostage takers at US firm’s facility reportedly say their actions are in protest at death toll in Gaza war

 

European Union leaders unanimously agreed on Thursday to extend 50 billion euros in aid to Ukraine, the chairman of the summit said, overcoming weeks of resistance from Hungary.

 

Ukraine’s popular army chief Valery Zaluzhny was called to a meeting at the president’s office on Monday and told he was being fired, two sources have told CNN.

 

Police described the object as a ‘dangerous object’ as Sweden’s prime minister condemned the ‘attempted attack’

 

Turkish officials say two masked assailants have attacked a church in Istanbul during Sunday services, killing one person.

 

Greece expects to receive a draft letter of acceptance next week from the United States of its request to buy F-35 fighter jets, two Greek sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Friday.

"The (Greek) defence minister will receive a draft letter of acceptance on Monday," one of the sources said.

Greece sent an official request to the United States for the purchase of 20 Lockheed Martin-made F-35 fighter jets in June 2022.

 

The first batch of new recruits began serving their one-year compulsory military service in Taiwan on Thursday after the conscription period was extended from four months due to government concerns about China's rising military threat.

Youtube has better quality and rewind but twitch has more interesting chat, even if it is just spamming emojis. Twitch chat has a vibe, feels like you are in a stadium. Also for gaming streams, twitch is a must. Also you need a browser extension like 7tv to appreciate the chat.

I played the beta. I wouldnt call it a good game but it was a game that i enjoyed playing. Maybe i liked it because ever since i was a kid, i was always fascinated by mad max/waterworld. Having your own vehicle, roaming a hostile desert(or sea).

You have a customizable ship, you can build it how you want. And you have a base that can be built and upgraded. And a giant open world with a forgetful story and generic npc. The gameplay was ok, though the world of warships has infinitely superior naval combat. I think it is using similar to war thunder naval combat(same publisher), which is a bit too arcadey for my taste(not that world of warships is a simulator, but it is a more immersive experience).

These reports are coming from US intelligence assessment and it is being reported by CNN. These are not pro-Hamas sources.

Israel has shitload of bombs available. But since Gaza is a completely uncontested airspace(therefore israeli planes can fly and drop dumb bombs safely) and they dont give a fuck about the palestinians, it is cheaper to use dumb bombs instead of guided.

You mean Erdogan who said

"“We can come suddenly, in the middle of the night [..] if you Greeks go too far, then the price will be heavy,”

https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/short_news/erdogan-threatens-greek-islands-with-invasion-at-night/

Or the Erdogan bragging how turkish missiles can reach Athens

https://www.politico.eu/article/erdogan-warns-greece-that-turkish-missiles-can-reach-athens%EF%BF%BC/

Or the Erdogan who said “He no longer exists for me. I will never agree to meet with him."(the greek prime minister who just met)

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/5/24/erdogan-says-he-will-no-longer-talk-to-greek-pm

Yeah, he is a great dude.

Because those are individual movies, individual movies failing isnt that unusual. Marvels is just another failed movie in a series of failing movies/series. It is indicative of a trajectory, a more interesting story to write about.

I've heard more people shitting on the last Ant Man movie, than the Marvels one. I think people just dont care about marvel movies anymore and most people expected Marvels to be mediocre/bad, so it flew under the radar more than Ant Man.

I dont know how Killers of the Flower Moon had 200mil budget, was it just acting salaries?

Also according to wikipedia, Marvels had a 275mil(gross)/220mil(net) budget, while Napoleon had 130-200mil. And if Napoleon had 130mil and Marvels had 275mil, the expectations are different. Especially if advertising budget isnt included in that and it is doubling the final budget(550mil vs 260mil).

Turkey and Greece exchanged each other’s ethnicities post WWI and War for Turkish independence, ethnic cleansing but not necessarily genocidal.

Yet for some reason there are 0 greeks in Turkey atm and 200k muslims in Greece, most of which selfidentify as ethnic turks. I wonder what happened, i guess we will never know. Oh wait, we do.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul_pogrom

Also weirdly enough, sanctioned by international mediation because shit was weird back then

It's not weird, greeks and turks have murdered shitload of each others civilians.

After Greece's "Great Idea" plan(conquering Western Turkey) got crashed, Greece wanted to protect the surviving greeks in Turkey from further reprisals. So both sides decided to partially exchange populations while protecting the remaining minorities. Eventually(30 years later) Turkey decided they didnt want any greeks left in Turkey and violated the deal. Greece on the other hand just kept being shitty to ethnic turks living in Greece but at least they are mostly ok now.

Most greeks are aware of civilian turks getting murdered. I am not so sure turks are aware of the civilian greeks slaughtered. This "exchange" ended 3000+ year of continuous presence(with majority or almost majority percentages) of ethnic greeks in Anatolia(Western Turkey).

They are not genociding, they are just removing palestinians from areas, they are ethnic cleansing those areas. This is a pretty standard nation building tactic, except most, european, nations did it in the past, while Israel is doing it now. Azerbaijan did it too with their armenian enclave in Nagorno Karabakh. The armenians "voluntarily" left the region and now there are basically 0 armenians there.

Genocide focuses more on the destruction of people.

If Hamas had a command node in the hospital, the IDF better start releasing videos of underground tunnels and rooms(used for storage/command/communication/etc). Command node implies there should be at least multiple tunnels going in and out the hospital. So far, we have only seen a couple of kalasnikovs, which might be real or planted but in any case, kinda irrelevant, since 5 kalasnikovs and a dude with an rpg walking outside the hospital does not make a hospital a target.

To bolster its claims that Hamas has a control center under the hospital, Israel’s military released video showing a tunnel shaft in the grounds of Al-Shifa. In the footage, the shaft appears to be reinforced with concrete. Exposed pipes and cabling can also be seen close to the surface. CNN cannot independently verify what the tunnel is used for, and the IDF is yet to offer clear evidence that the shaft has a military purpose.

Surely it cant be hard to take some media into the hospital and show that tunnel, right? Also it is interesting how hamas didnt defend the hospital, at all. The hospital is huge and according to IDF is full of tunnels, that would make it a good place to ambush IDF. Especially since IDF would be less willing to bomb entire buildings, therefore it would be perfect for Hamas to fight there.
