You seem to think there would be uniform treatment of hostages. Women were sexually assaulted more than men. Babies were strangled. There is real forensic evidence that’s been made public about the conditions of recovered corpses. It may be true that some of the 251 hostages were treated better than others. It does not make your statement true.
There have been MANY proposals for two state solutions, from Israel and from the UN and from other third parties that both sides were willing to listen to, going back to 1937. In each case, they've been rejected by Palestinian leaders. After 88 years of rejected proposals, relentless violence from the Palestinians with no sign of stopping, and generations of young people indoctrinated with hatred, it's no wonder the current government has no interest in concessions.
Let's talk about colonization. The land of Israel, backwards through time:
21. Modern state of Israel
20. British mandate
19. Ottoman empire
18. Islamic Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt
17. Ayyubid dynasty
16. Christian kingdom of Jerusalem <-- this is around 1099
15. Fatimid caliphate
14. Abbasid caliphate
13. Umayyad caliphate
12. Rashidun Caliphate <-- right after Muhammad dies
11. Byzantine empire
10. Roman empire <-- founding of Christianity
9. Hasmonean dynasty <-- BC flips to AD
8. Seleucid empire
7. Empire of Alexander the 3rd of Macedon
6. Persian empire
5. Babylonian empire
4. Kingdoms of Israel and Judea
3. Kingdom of Israel
2. Theocracy of the 12 tribes of Israel <-- first Jews
1. Individual state of Canaan <-- earliest archeological evidence of people in what is today called Israel
Israel is a Jewish state, but it's also a safe harbor for minorities. It is the only place in the Middle East where you can be openly gay or trans and not be killed for it (or Druze, as it turns out).
Even for Israelis that are against the current government and want to see equal rights for all peoples in the Middle East, there is an abundance of evidence to show that you don't get that without Israel.
Totally irrelevant deflection. How Israel treats Israelis inside the borders of Israel is really not what anyone's complaining about.
Yes, the fact that many Middle Eastern countries are backwards on gay rights is bad! This doesn't remotely address the question of whether Israel bombing cities to dust and starving their population is also bad.
Not irrelevant at all. There have been two periods of right to return, and they've both been causal in the current Israeli Muslim and Israeli Arab populations in Israel. If right to return includes voting rights, then it's likely that the voting population would ultimately legislate Israel to not be a Jewish state, and fundamentally shift the laws away from democracy and away from equal rights of Israelis. There are 50 Muslim majority countries and countless data points to reach such a conclusion, and this is fundamentally why an unconditional right to return will never happen.
tmnvix was advocating for the collapse of the only democracy in the region--tantamount to advocating for worse outcomes for more people (and likely to an actual genocide of the Jewish people, who evacuated predominately Muslim countries and populated Israel at its re-formation). There are still 50 hostages in Gaza that have been held for 514 days and counting.
In Yemen 39.5% of the population is undernourished and 48.5% of children under five are stunted. Nearby, in East Africa, the South Sudan death toll and starvation numbers also dwarf this conflict. Mysteriously, and predictably, the world is silent. But, an opportunity to put down Israel, it seems is unfortunately very popular.
In my MIL's case it was L858R. T790M also present, effectiveness of drug dramatically increased with presence of both. Osimertinib shrunk the tumor from baseball to golfball, and then her left most lung lobe was surgically removed. She was stage 2 at intake and without metastastis. The drug was not approved for that case in 2021 and she was admitted to an ongoing case study for it.
In the late 70s my father had a Simca with part of the ignition key lodged in the ignition lock cylinder. Getting the replacement key from France was going to take ages, so he rigged it up so that you had to flip a toggle switch he'd installed on the dashboard and honk the horn in order for it to start. It was the opposite of a kill switch.
They tend to position themselves with the hourglass facing where birds would see it and be frightened away. The red is just for females. Male black widows are grayish brown with a bright yellow hourglass marking. Have not seen a male brown widow.
0:14 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVZ80_tbkbc is a good example of previous recordings. It is helpful, if you think you have a good mic, to talk past it rather than into it.
