Stephen Wolfram was so right when he said that good expository writers will be very good at using LLMs. People with a wider vocabulary can describe more precisely, and with greater nuance, what the output should be.

@Rainmaker1973 I'd say it's 3 perspectives of 1 truth.

Nonetheless, I really like this post.

Marc Lamont Hill puts every interviewer to shame by forcing Israels former Foreign Minister to admit that Israel is deliberately starving and bombing a captive civilian population to get what they want. A War Crime. Not one British journalist has done this

BBC doing what they do best: push Israel's narrative. However, @hzomlot did a brilliant job of challenging the hypocrisy of the BBC👍👍. One of the best interviews I’ve seen.

Please watch the video below 👇

Some key points made my Husam.

▪️Do not under-estimate people's will and desire to end occupation

▪️Israel was meant to do one thing: end its occupation settlement expansion
International Governments were meant to provide accountability - they never did

Anchor: do you condemn Hamas?

▪️Don't equate the occupier and the occupied.  This is not a war of equals.
From its establishment, Israel has ONE military doctrine: to go and fight civilians
When it fights, it fights civilians.
The real conversation is how do we stop this vicious deadly cycle.

(Anchor again tries to get him to condemn)

▪️You have interviewed hundreds of Israeli officials; how many times have you shown Israel committing war crimes live on your cameras - do you start by asking them to condemn themselves?  Have you? ..You don't.  I'll answer for you - you DON'T.

▪️I refuse to answer your question because I refuse the premise of it.
At the heart of your question is misrepresentation.
▪️It's always the Palestinians who are expected to condemn themselves.
This is a political conflict and we have been denied our rights for a long time
The right starting point is to focus on the root causes.
▪️You call me here when Israelis are killed - did you call me here when many Palestinians are killed - 200 over the last few months?
▪️Do you invite me when there are provocations from Israelis elsewhere?
2M have been taken hostage by Israel (Gaza)
▪️We need to stop this rhetoric and give the people some ugly truths sometimes.

Anchor: What is the solution?

▪️Equal application if international law and resolutions - like you did with Ukraine. 
▪️Full apply the rules of the League of Nations and the UN.  Israel has been the exception for the last 75 years.
▪️Israel is an occupying force - it is mean to provide protection for the people under its occupation.

@premierleague He has 3 or 4 such goals in the Prem - he drops deep to collect the ball, beats 4+ defenders and... Goal. Elite player. We can't let recency bias fool us into believing this guy wasn't one of the best to have ever graced this league.

Earlier this week, Google, Cloudflare and AWS defended against the largest DDOS attack error, receiving 398, 201 and 155 million RPS respectively.

The technical details of these are fascinating! 📖👇
