I've watched that beheading and worse things. I wish I hadn't. Imagine having the audacity of calling Hamas saints by comparison. What a despicable and inane thing to do.

Like the other user said, the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa only became successful after it abandoned violent resistance - and citing Haiti as an aspirational example is downright hysterical.

There's also a massive difference between demanding outright perfection and not applauding people who behead Asian guest workers (who, as I'm sure you are aware, but equally willing to ignore, are not "evil Zionist colonizers") with a rusty gardening hoe while live-streaming the torture-murder on the Internet. Coincidentally, you seem to have no trouble with demanding outright perfection from the IDF, who, by the way, has a roughly similar soldier kill rate in this conflict according to most estimates - but I bet you are not willing to applaud them for that.

As for what Gaza actually was, here's what this supposed "concentration camp" looked like before the war:

At some point you might learn that simplistic, childish concepts of pure good and evil rarely apply in this world. Yes, the Allies were the good guys in WW2. Being the good guy doesn't mean you're perfect, because absolutely nothing is.

The fact that a large number of people in the West are denying this and portraying Hamas as freedom fighters is very worrying.

Startpage is pretty good.

Very interesting. Lots of news websites are operating on a very similar principle, with the user having to either accept all cookies or pay for an expensive subscription that allows them to opt out of tracking cookies. I've always thought that this couldn't possibly be legal.

If you think you are impervious to this, then I got news for you.

The problem in both cases is that people remember these artistic depiction as real, even if there's a disclosure.

You can make the camera blind with a sticker or one of those slidey cover things, although it's much more annoying since that fad of cut outs for cameras has started.

Also, like I said in the other comment, my phone isn't attached to my chest like a body cam and constantly in a position to film everything in the room. If the NSA wants to see my feet, the ceiling or my face, they are free to do so.

Sure, but at least my phone doesn't have a wide-angle lens that could be constantly filming everything, because it's attached to my chest.

My mid-range 2014 laptop has this little. This was considered the minimum for a productivity-oriented device a decade ago.

Much to my annoyance, it's also one of the first (edit: modern) laptops with non-upgradeable RAM, which I didn't know beforehand. It's still usable, but I'm using Firefox instead of Chrome (so 50 tabs are no issue) and it's never been my primary device.

He never said that, by the way.
