@xwalkenjoyer Does it taste better than it looks

(sorry)

[MOSS @MustaYassin]

@posting_forever I assume this only refers to those who benefit from the system though? The political and moral beliefs of the various underclasses throughout history never seemed to materially benefit them

[MOSS @MustaYassin]

@MeCivilize @TheAgentNDN @MotorCityLib Got it. So:
- Words/language don’t matter
- Arguing against the mass murder and mass amputation of Palestinian children means I “want” Israel to commit a genocide
- You don’t care either way, and primarily blame those who do care

Thank you for the splendid conversation

[MOSS @MustaYassin]

@mferrini @TheAgentNDN As of today, there are ~1.5 million in Gaza per US intelligence estimates. You are a holocaust denier.

[MOSS @MustaYassin]

@MeCivilize @TheAgentNDN @MotorCityLib It is not *my* definition of genocide, it is *the* definition of genocide. Every genocide - Sudan, Tigray, Rohingya, etc - is primarily defined by these criteria.

Just because you saw an article saying 60 gajillion deaths due to USAID cuts doesn’t mean you have a case

[MOSS @MustaYassin]

@MeCivilize @TheAgentNDN @MotorCityLib No need for name calling yet, my friend. I was just unconvinced by your premise and was genuinely curious what the case would be for your argument: How is reducing foreign aid genocide, and how is it different from reducing charitable contributions? Floor is yours.

[MOSS @MustaYassin]

@MeCivilize @TheAgentNDN @MotorCityLib If your argument is that cutting USAID has created conditions to destroy, in whole or in part, “brown people overseas”, then the argument applies whether these cuts are 100%, 50%, or even 1%.

It implies that donating a little less charity this year is a form of *genocide*.

[MOSS @MustaYassin]

@MeCivilize @TheAgentNDN @MotorCityLib I’m so curious where this is going. I don’t know how you could possibly get to the conclusion that I think you want to get to here. I’ll bite, what’s the answer you want, yes? no?

[MOSS @MustaYassin]

@mferrini @TheAgentNDN Easy: It’s because Palestinians aren’t just “dying”, they’re being exterminated. By Israel.

The small number of Hamas executions of alleged looters/gang members/drug dealers are not comparable to the whole-sale destruction of an entire people.

****Statement from Mosab Abu Toha in response to LeMoyne College's President's email to students today*****

This is deeply shameful. I cannot believe what I am reading.
How dare you tell a person who survived a genocide that they cannot speak about it?
On April 15, I had the honor of visiting and speaking at Le Moyne College. I spoke about my lived experience in Gaza, shared the family trees of those killed by Israel, and read my poems. I also played the actual recordings of Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling that I documented myself while on the ground in Gaza.
This morning, the President of the college sent out an email condemning my use of the word GENOCIDE when describing these crimes. She claimed that using that word is "antisemitic." She stated that she recognized the "real hurt" that the word caused to Jewish students.
Seriously? Are the crimes of the Israeli state representative of all Jewish people? I personally refuse to believe that is the case.
It is utterly ridiculous to begin a letter by stating that your institution welcomes the "free exchange of ideas," only to immediately condemn a speaker, not for sharing abstract ideas, but for sharing his own life. I still carry the physical wounds of a 2009 airstrike on my neck, my forehead, and my cheek. My wife and I have lost over one hundred relatives, most of them children. Some of them have still not been buried.
Who are these students you are talking about? Not a single person who identified themselves as Jewish approached me after my talk to offer condolences or acknowledge the actual crimes committed against me and my family. I never once used the word "Jewish" during the entire event; I refuse to conflate the faith of Judaism with the actions of the state of Israel.
Yet, you suggest my language caused "hurt." Whoever went to your office to complain about my words should have been the first to approach the stage to show humanity and support for a survivor.
It may surprise you to know that I used the word GENOCIDE to describe Israel’s actions in Gaza long before most human rights organizations, including prominent Israeli organizations, and leading Holocaust and Genocide scholars arrived at the same conclusion. I hope this fact does not "hurt" anyone even more.
If anyone told you they felt "hurt" because I used the word GENOCIDE, then I ask you: how should I feel? How should my wife feel after losing her father? How should my three children feel after losing their grandfather?
At a time when a GENOCIDE should be condemned, it is the survivors and those who speak out against it who are being targeted instead.

SHAME!!!!!

1/ Don't let tech oligarchs delete the evidence. Don't let them rewrite the history of the genocide.

We build memory at Databases for Palestine. Without memory, there can not be justice.

We need your help.

[Nondescript Roman Statue @cancelkultur]

“If Gaza is a genocide then it hurts the Holocaust’s atrocity market share” is a thought that only an Israeli brain could come up with.

Pop Base has donated $10,000 to The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund which provides medical attention to children in Palestine and Lebanon amid the ongoing genocide.

We encourage anybody with the means to contribute if they can. Find out more here: https://t.co/Jr2PYB3zkc

@jeeeke2 @__itya @PlusEVAnalytics @dmesg yeah you're right, I missed that.
I wrote some code to prove you right as well:

[MOSS @MustaYassin]

@jeeeke2 @__itya @PlusEVAnalytics @dmesg Hmm. Ok, but applying the Rejection A/B logic to your bottom table demonstrates a 50/50 chance on the Monty Hall problem, which is incorrect. I think the table approach is faulty somehow.

[MOSS @MustaYassin]

@jeeeke2 @__itya @PlusEVAnalytics @dmesg You’re just missing one more option in the top table. There’s two rejection letters, call them rejection A and rejection B. One row is when you choose A and they reveal B. You need to add a row where you choose B and the reveal is A.

[MOSS @MustaYassin]

@PlusEVAnalytics @dmesg Wrong. “Intention” has no bearing on the Monty Hall problem.

Whether or not they intended to choose the rejection, the interviewer took an action that revealed information about the two left over envelopes, whereas your envelope had no information revealed about it.
