Wtf is up with the proliferation of "slams" in social media headlines? Hell, the article in question doesn't even say "slams", it says "condemns".
I see it too. I also hate it so much!
You're obviously old and not jiggy with the latest lingo go buy your coffin already boomer-
Seriously, though, I don't bother trying to figure it out anymore. Every generation invents their own slang to rebel, but I can't tell if this is millenials taking over and injecting their brand, or an attempt to click-bait zoomers, or even gen-x trying to be hip. "Slam" sounds gen-x-ey to me.
It's just shoddy writing, but then I hear a lot of "language evolves," "it's common usage and so correct," and references to fucking Merriam-Webster, the Guiness Book of World Records of dictionaries.
SLAM!
How many slams can a nation survive?
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
I mean, the UNRWA needs to stop hiring terrorists. Vetting needs to be done better. At the same time though, Palestinians do need the aid, desperately. It's a mess of a situation.
Isn't this all based on Israeli accusations? As we know, Israel can't really be trusted
But it's confirmed by UN themselves and action are taken on 9 of the 12 individual, with 1 being dead.
Where did you read that?
How did you get to that conclusion? The only "evidence" from the article seems to be
Rockets found under UNRWA crates in Gaza (Photo: IDF)
Weapons hidden in an UNRWA bag, found in Gaza (Photo: IDF)
Was pictures from the IDF the evidence that convinced you?
My opinion is based on the article where UN took action on 9 of the 12 individual after their preliminary investigation. Are you saying UN is wrong?
Got it. I just asked about the evidence that convinced you, I'm not even sure how you could make the leap to
Are you saying UN is wrong?
or even what being wrong in this case means.
A lot of people believe IDF claims without a shred of evidence and that's a disservice to the truth, like the 40 beheaded babies thing. The total child casualty count for Oct 7 was 36, including Israeli forces killing at least 2 Israeli children in one encounter.
Wait now I get it, you were being defensive.
No i don't get it lol. You asked i answered and you get oddly upset about my opinion, now i'm being called defensive.
Terrorists = Anyone fighting against western imperialism and colonialism
No, terrorists are people who attack civilians as a war crime. Including actions from both the IDF and Hamas. And certain actions from US troops in various wars. But this is not the first account nor instance of UNRWA and its facilities being used in support of or directly for when Hamas does military action, which only endangers Palestinian civilians. If hospitals and schools etc. are indiscriminately used as war facilities, they become valid targets under international law, and thereby makes the civilians there much more at risk.
terrorists are people who attack civilians
Were the Viet Cong terrorists too? They attacked villages, took hostages, and used tunnels and guerilla warfare just the same. These are simply the most effective tactics for driving out an occupying force, and they wouldn’t be necessary if the colony wasn't there in the first place. Also, the vast majority of "israel" aren't civilians; they're IDF conscripts, settlers and colonizers.
Hamas does military action, which only endangers Palestinian civilians
Was the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in Nazi Germany terrorism? Whatever the intention, the result was their own 13,000 civilians being killed, and very few German casualties.
Decolonization is violent. If you don't like it, don't colonize in the first place.
And certain actions from US
Not "certain actions"; the entirety of the US is a rogue terrorist state founded on the genocide of millions of indigenous people, slavery, and endless wars.
Man it sounds like Israel really wants to deliberately inflict on a group of people conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.
How is it that this accusation is taken seriously right away while the ICJ case will take years and a ceasefire is unmentionable?
