The worst thing for me was that they took my passport and threw it on the ground repeatedly. It was a big blow for me.

- Comment on Muslim states join European powers in backing Trump Gaza plan 2 weeks ago:
If you really want to pretend that religion doesn’t play a part in this conflict, I don’t really see how that would help anyone… It just makes certain behaviour unexplainable for you and, hence, as long as you are in denial of this you won’t be in a position to think of a realistic path forward. Why would Trump have to buy off Malaysia to support his ultimatum and not, say, Brazil?
Regarding Ukraine, I don’t think that religion is a(n important) driver there. But I suggest you look up what happened within the orthodox christian church in parallel. Or how the church played a role in the recent elections in Moldova and the conflict over Transnistria.
And in the transition of finding your last sentences the most revealing: what religion do you believe those zero-year-olds were following?

There are zero steps of assumption or inference required here

What point were you trying to make that I missed? Is part of the Sunni religion that you must support Donald Trump?
You seem to want to derail the converstation to make it appear like I argue that it has something to do with the nature of their religion, but they could be worshipping the Holy Teapot as far as I’m concerned. If you want to go into why I think it’s mentionable that basically all of the important sunni states are on board I suggest you start by reading about the Abraham Accords and how that history ties in with what happened with Gaza.
Do you have a recording of this apology? Since it was public, there must be a recording.
His apology is public in the sense that they proudly and loudly proclaimed he did so before praising Qatar for supporting their plan. Whether he called him buddy or Susan isn’t really the relevant part here
You’re still being orientalist. It’s very off-putting. Would you accept a fraction of this attitude towards your own home?
I think it’s interesting that you’re turning from “religion has nothing to do with this” to something like this.
If someone were to say that ‘my home’ (as in the building I live in?) has a history of religious conflict I’d honestly just be stunned and ask them to give me some examples, because I don’t think there are.
If you mean ‘my home region’ then I’d say they’re entirely right: religious conflicts made people do horrible, horrible things to eachother around here, and it’s important to remember that.
But the words you’re using makes it sound more like you don’t honestly believe that there isn’t a religious angle to the conflict with Israel but instead that you think there should be some kind of taboo on it? Because any mention of it would hurt the feelings of those who live in the region?
- Comment on Muslim states join European powers in backing Trump Gaza plan 2 weeks ago:
Please explain to me how my abbreviation does anything else than
Feel free to let me know where you’re reading that Palestinians should kill themselves. Trumps weaseling is not an excuse to follow his example.
They are not Sunni states. They are states. And both are client states of the USA.
There are eight sunni states that put themselves behind Donnie, including the most important ones. You can try to brush this off because they were already very friendly to him, but yeah, that’s the point.
The Qatari prime minister said
Sure, and making Bibi publicly apologize to him and Donnie assure they would not allow it to happen again was offered to allow him to save face. Why else do you think they did that?
Article 13 enables the death of all Palestinians at the moment of Israel’s choosing
I don’t know which list they’ve sent you but in mine article 13 is about the disarmament of Hamas
This is not a religious conflict. You’re being orientalist.
Yeah, thanks for opening my eyes! I’ve just reread the history of the region and indeed, religious differences were never an issue there
- Comment on Muslim states join European powers in backing Trump Gaza plan 2 weeks ago:
It’s funny that you complain about weasel wording but can’t see it in yourself or, more likely, allow it for yourself. Your claims that the Palestinians have to kill themselves or leave under this ‘plan’ doesn’t jive with reality.
Donnie knows that staying friends with the sunni states makes him a lot of money. A lot more money than he can ever make from the people that would give that up to add a small strip of land to Israel. Making the supposedly “fully behind Palestine” leaders of these countries lose face completely by having them backing this plan publicly and then shredding it will lose him a lot of money.
It’s much more profitable to continue their alliance. Removing the threat of Hamas in the same way as was done with Hezbollah makes everyone* happy and opens the opportunity to make money from it either way. They can say they saved the Gazans while Israel gets a security upgrade and hostages.
(* except the ultrazionists, which may have swing because they can drop the Israeli government but are still a rather small faction despite what people try to make you believe. If Hamas agree publicly, Bibi will go for elections before he’ll slap Trump with a 180 to please these bozo’s.)

Why do you describe them as ‘muslim majority’, are you implying this a holy war?
Ah yes, the good ol’ “Sir, how dare you imply a religious conflict?!” smh
- Comment on Three EU states paid more for Russian LNG than they gave to Ukraine 2 weeks ago:
Note that these are countries that import the gas to transit it throughout the rest of the EU…
- Comment on Muslim states join European powers in backing Trump Gaza plan 2 weeks ago:
Pretty wrong on most points here, except that Hamas would have to disarm
Multiple muslim majority countries have agreed to send troops for a peace force. Their main job will be to keep armed groups to regroup and attack Israel
Ownership of ´the ground´ is not an issue at first, the main way Trump and his buds will be making their money will be through leeching the money donated for rebuilding
- Comment on BBC ignores funeral of 31 Yemeni journalists murdered by Israel 4 weeks ago:
Why aren´t you reporting on that child´s burial? I guess you´re trying to hide it from us, just like the friggin´ BBC!
Also, you sound like a happy person
- Comment on BBC ignores funeral of 31 Yemeni journalists murdered by Israel 4 weeks ago:
If you read about a missile strike hitting newspapers´ offices and killing a bunch of journalists and you think that must be ´a little whoopsie-daisy mistake´, that just makes me think that you´re not part of their target audience.
They have the CBBC that would explain things more thoroughly if they consider it necessary or you could look for outside sources that explain how airstrikes work, which in turn frees up space to add other information.
Likewise, I don´t think that the BBC believes that their target audience requires a follow-up article to zxplain to them that the victims received a funeral.
- Comment on BBC ignores funeral of 31 Yemeni journalists murdered by Israel 4 weeks ago:
Should they cover every journalist´s funeral (especially if they´ve already covered them being killed)? What other coverage should they drop to create the space? What if they lose all their readers because they´re covering nothing else but funerals?
- Comment on BBC ignores funeral of 31 Yemeni journalists murdered by Israel 4 weeks ago:
Wait so they did mention the newspapers were struck? If they did that why would anyone feel the need to bitch about them ´ignoring the funerals´?

I was the one that mentioned the 100W Ikea cable as a cheap example to combine with that charger
-
Too bad if someone doesn´t want to know the tiniest bit about standards. They´ll have to get help if they don´t want to read the packaging or symbology. Meanwhile the rest of us can enjoy hooking up our phones to our laptop chargers or monitors without having to waste resources on unnecessarily complex cables
-
If you want to do something fancy like hooking up to your monitor, you´ll have to use the unusually sturdy cable that came with it or take 2 minutes to read about which cable you need

If I ever need a new one for such an extremely specific task, I´ll make sure to spend a few minutes to make sure I buy the right one. Takes a minute, but easy!
The Ikea one says it only supports 480Mbps, so that´s a no-no for video. Sad, but easy!

My monitor has an input cable that allows for maximum video resolution and maximum power delivery. I never need to take it out. Easy!

Yeah and you´re totally sane when you ignore what happened before that, of course. Extremists from both sides have been trying to put a genocide on the other to claim the soon-to-be-independent territory for more than a hundred years
