That's the Nazi salute, man.

He didn't say any of that, he just did the Nazi salute to the crowd, twice. You're just making things up. People can move however they want and say what they want, but expect backlash. Freedom of speech is not that you say the shit you want and full stop, the second part is that people can oppose those ideas. Even more if they go against the integrity of other people, like racist ideas, and we have so much past evidence of the violence used by those groups. I don't mean ancient history only, but the daily news.

Total Nazi. Can you imagine showing this to the brave American soldiers that gave their lives to fight Nazism in Normandy and all that? They would be so proud of their country. For sure.

This practice should be banned, for the risks to the trainers and caretakers, and for compassion to the animals. Orcas live in the ocean and have their own social groups and dynamics. Pools are in no way adequate for them to live, they are lifelong water prison cells, and they shouldn't be our sea clowns. Awful.

This is for trying to outcompete Republicans on the right. They handed such an easy opportunity to Trump, and he took it. Two opportunities, with the ceasefire getting done too.

Gaza is still an open-air prison surrounded by the IDF, Hamas still exists, and it won't be in shortage of recruits after all that happened. The mutual hate has multiplied. Anything will trigger the other, it's a volatile situation.

Nah, veganism is not expensive. The only required supplement is B12, which is incredibly cheap. It's so cheap, that it's included in every farm animal feed, which is where non-vengans obtain it too secondhand. Our health is fine, thank you for your concern, guys. Whatever they charge us more for a plant-based milk, which doesn't get as large subsidies as cow milk, we make it up by not buying one of the most expensive items in the basket, which is meat, also very heavily subsidized. The talked meat alternatives are in pair in cost to meat, and it's not something most vegans eat in excess anyway, I don't, but as treats here and there. Most vegans, including myself, do it mostly for the animals, it's an unnecessary slaughter nowadays.

They've destroyed all the infrastructure of Gaza and heavily decimated the Palestinian population, but it's true they haven't won. I don't know how things will unfold from this, but I don't see peace even in the short term. Israel has lost support worldwide, but is still backed by the US. We'll see, all eyes on Gaza.

Back to the recent events, more on topic. The ceasefire is good because the ongoing slaughter should reduce significantly, hard to believe it will stop though. There should be a hostage exchange, good for them. But the conflict continues, I'm afraid. Zionists still want the whole land, and Palestinians don't want to leave it. Hamas has gained support for resisting, and the new generations of Israel are as moderate as Ben Gvir. They want to settle in Gaza as much as in the West Bank. This is not over.

Then again Palestinians paid the price for something they didn't do. Nope, Zionists needed to increase the Jewish numbers, and promoted the migration of all Arab Jews they could. If Zionists want a land for Jews, that's not the Palestinian people's fault. Palestinians have the right to live in peace in their land, which has been broken. What has happened in Gaza last year is a shame for humanity, we have all seen it.

It was another place being decolonized from the British empire, as many more during that time. Unfortunatelly for them, instead of the native inhabitants receiving the land, it was decided by foreigners that it would be a Jewish ethnostate, in reparation of the wrongs done to them by the Nazis. Palestinians didn't displace Arab Jews, it was the other way around. In an attempt to increase Jewish numbers, Zionists promoted the displacement of Arab Jews to Palestine too, as much as European Jews. Jews were living relatively well in Muslim areas, not everything would be perfect, but quite harmonious in general. Tensions arised when Zionists started killing Palestinians and stealing their land, which is not a surprise. If Muslims did that in any country of Europe, I'm sure hostility towards them would increase too. Which wouldn't make it okay, but the complete frame would have to be acknouwledged at least.

But this self-determination was practiced in an inhabited land, without their consent. Based on the Jewish ethnicity, but pure colonialism of foreigners and ethnic cleansing of the locals, that's what has been happening for the last 75 years and last year in particular was another crude episode of it. So people acknowledge the rights of these Palestinians, of course. Buying territory in foreign countries is accepted, it happens in the frame of business or people just to live somewhere else, but that doesn't give the right to claim a new state there, you have to abide by the laws of the countries you move into. There was the British decolonization going on then, that was replaced by the Jewish colonization, which was even worse, because not only they were aiming to control the land and the resources, but blatantly replace the inhabitants of there, who have the right to resist these attacks.

Palestine was inhabited, Palestinians are the indigenous people of that land. They don't have to pay for the wrongs done to Jewish people by Europeans. If you hit me, I don't have the right to hit a third person, that's insane.

Yes I did.
