It kind of is two cats in one for real, the two sides have different dna!

Dean, a Londoner who moved to the kibbutz eight years ago

So, he’s a British guy who chose to move from England to an Israeli collective that is literally located on top of a displaced Palestinian village, right up against an actively disputed border and now he’s complaining about it?

This article reads like it was probably put together to generate support for more IDF attacks on Lebanon.

I find this definition a lot more compelling than the one in the meme.

In other words it’s more to do with geology and how the wetland has formed from groundwater vs water flow, than it is to do with characteristics like ph and trees - those things sort of proceed from the basic structure.

Good to know, will keep a watch for it.

I really want to use it but always end up closing it in frustration and firing up photoshop.

Genetic mutation. If you want to see something even cooler, image search feline chimera.

Normalize and incentivize publishing negative results!

+ Normalize and incentivize attempting to replicate existing findings!

With these two recommendations we’d speed up discovery exponentially.

Having spent ages trying to adopt it and failing like 20+ years ago it’s just crazy to me that every time I give it another chance, it still doesn’t have non destructive editing and is still a non-intuitive UI from hell. It feels like they want it to be like this.

Knew this was going to be Sde Teiman. Some horror stories coming out of there.

We are all familiar with the genocidaires’ explanations/pretexts for why they are blockading humanitarian aid, thanks, you don’t need to rehash them here.

Egypt doesn’t want terrorists

More to the point Egypt doesn’t want to give Israel a pretext for constant drone strikes in Egyptian territory now that every Palestinian refugee child is supposedly “Hamas”.

But either side can close a border, that’s intrinsic to borders.

It’s a point that only makes sense if you don’t pay attention to international geopolitics.

Small countries have a vested interest in the upholding of international law because they are vulnerable, so they quite often stick their heads up above the parapet for it. E.g. when the Rohingya Genocide occurred in South East Asia a small country in West Africa, The Gambia, are the ones who took them to the ICC.

As for South Africa, it has a very long history of criticizing Israel for its apartheid. Bishop Desmond Tutu made international headlines by calling it an apartheid after his visit to Israel and Palestine. Moreover, during Apartheid South Africa era, Israel was one of the big weapons suppliers to the Apartheid regime (which was at war with its neighbour) when many countries were boycotting it.

The entire African Union are quite sensitive about what Israel does.

If you know anything about history, it makes perfect sense that South Africans would be leading the charge here (which they have done consistently).

The UN officials aren’t saying any of those things. Here’s a tldr of the issue

• The platform is meant to be in Northern Gaza where the worst of the starvation is

• Israel wants it to be moved south to an Israeli choke point

• Israel is about to close the crossings in South Gaza so it can attack Rafah

• If the tiny amount of aid that can come in is able to be diverted to South Gaza then Israel may face less international condemnation over this phase of the Gaza genocide.

Please help me understand why delivering food and medicine to Gaza is bad.

If there is a starving child and you can choose to deliver them the nutrients they need but instead you choose to give them half a peanut instead, in a really theatrical way, that’s obviously bad right?

That’s what’s happening here.

I’d never heard of Ed Zitron but this is the second good blog I’ve seen by them this week.

That’s understandable. I wish you and Blue all the best.

they could sedate him, clean the wound, and administer antibiotics for just over $2000

OP I don’t know how long it will take you to get the money but please clean the wounds as best you can yourself in the meantime.

I remember someone in your other post said it’s probably dog bite abscess. I have cleaned those before. You will need warm water, put a little betadine iodine in it and use soaked cotton wool to very gently “lick” the wound as if you are another cat.

Wrapp the cat’s body securely in a towel first.

I would phone another vet and ask for a quote as what you have been quoted sounds insane to me especially since they didn’t even tell you what the wounds are.

A UN recognition of nation state is not a pre requisite for self governance.

I’m not saying it is a prerequisite. Historically being free was not a prerequisite for being paid some kind of wage at times either, for that matter.

Historically, many former colonial nations gained their independence before being able to hold free and fair elections. Kenya for example, or South Africa.

Palestine is in a similar state at present.

That’s putting the cart before the horse. You can’t say “you have to have conducted a general election before you become a nation state.”

That would be like telling a slave they can’t become a free person unless they’ve already got a job that pays them direct wages.

Have you seen this report.

If it’s true then Israel attacking Iran has had the exact effect on the US that we predicted - softened their response to the genocide.

I don’t think you have to “listen to Iran” to know Israel attacked their embassy compound.

Yes if I were documenting this I would want hours of witness testimony, forensics, etc.

I mean, to the standards required for a court of law (e.g. forensic proof that these were patients) but I take your point.
