what a wonderful highlight to show the importance of HPV vaccination (critical for all genders) to halt the spread of deadly cancers.
For men, reproduction is pleasurable.
For women, reproduction might be pleasurable for a moment. It might be pain, right from the beginning.
It will be life altering at best, fatal at worst. Thatโs why itโs evil to get a woman pregnant if she doesnโt expressly want to be.
The ten dumbest things we're being asked to believe about Gaza:
1. That Israel had no idea what Hamas was up to prior to October 7, but ever since October 7 has known about every hospital, mosque, school, refugee camp and water tower that Hamas is hiding in.
2. That the blame for all of the deaths caused by Israeli weapons launched by Israel rests solely on Hamas.
3. That Hamas is using โhuman shieldsโโโโmeaning Hamas bases are hidden amidst civilian populationsโโโyet Israel is managing to kill thousands of civilians without doing any meaningful damage to Hamas.
4. That it would be perfectly fine to murder children by the thousands even if they were being used as โhuman shieldsโโโโas though resolving a hostage situation by mowing down thousands of child hostages would be regarded as reasonable and acceptable by the public if it happened in our own country.
5. That is is only by pure coincidence that Israel bombing โHamas targetsโ in civilian infrastructure and residential buildings just so happens to look exactly the same as what youโd expect to see if Israel was simply bombing civilian infrastructure and residential buildings and lying about its reasons for doing so.
6. That satellite images of entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble in Gaza have been caused by โprecision strikesโ directed solely at Hamas and have been carried out with the greatest of care for human life, despite Israeli officials openly saying that โthe emphasis is on damage and not on accuracyโ in this assault and that โGaza will eventually turn into a city of tents; there will be no buildings.โ
7. That this bombing campaign has anything to do with freeing Israeli hostagesโโโas though the bombing campaign itself has not killed dozens of hostages, and as though anyone believes Israel would stop bombing Gaza after the hostages are returned.
8. That the only reason anyone could possibly oppose the detonation of thousands of bombs on an open air prison full of children would be if they had very strong and hateful opinions toward the members of the religion of Judaism.
9. That Hamas attacked Israel entirely out of the blue and completely unprovoked, solely because they are evil and hate Jews.
10. That Washington is powerless to stop this genocide that it is directly funding and supplying.
The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.
Of course, he'd say "Don't let anyone tell you... " religions thrive on ignorance. In fact, it was the "1st crime" of the Bible. Gen 2:17 "But of the tree of the knowledge... " & Proverbs 3:5 "lean not on your own understanding;" both basically say "STAY STUPID"
