IDF should stop claiming civilian infrastructure is hiding Hamas terrorists.

And instead use it's intelligence to locate them.

As the other comment said, that's a façade. It's not actual bricks, but rather pieces of stone (or, judging by the fact that these exact shapes can be found worldwide, lookalikes) that are laid onto the face of a brick/cinder block/concrete core.

I know what the meme is supposed to represent, but the Tolkien nerd in me feels the need to correct the universal misunderstanding of the picture used.

Frodo isn't saying he can't read the inscription on the One Ring because it's in Elvish. He actually is pretty fluent in Elvish in the novel, but the inscription on the Ring was in the Black Speech, which he couldn't recognise.

Stonetoss is a Nazi.

Did anything I say imply I'm pro-Hamas? Or anti-Jewish? No, I clearly wrote that I'm anti-IDF and anti-Netanyahu government. The government that shortly before the war started was facing massive protests due to its authoritarian policies, and that is rumoured by Israeli citizen to be using the war to distract the public from its aforementioned scandals.

You should also consider the fact that Israeli authorities propped up Hamas as a counterweight to PLO, which they feared would be able to successfully win Palestinian independence. And similarly to how Pakistan propped up the Taliban, now that the radical Islamists got into power, they begun conducting terror attacks on the territory of the country that helped them.

"Do you ever stop to think 'Are we the baddies?'" says the person unironically supporting a government that calls its civilian victims "animals"

Napoleon, despite the whole "overthrowing republic in favour of monarchy" thing is considered to be one of the main reasons the ideals of the Revolution managed to stick in Europe. Napoleonic Code was a piece of legislation far more progressive than most of that era, and continued to be used in many countries that were subservient to Napoleonic France until the 20th century.

How many thousands ~~civilians~~ oops, pardon, "terrorists" did IDF kill until now exactly? Not a single person in their right mind would complain if IDF targeted only terrorists. But at a certain point, when civilian casualties from the retaliation far outweigh the casualties from the initial attack we need to ask ourselves "What is even the point of this?"

I think more of a Steve Tyler.

Houthi is a name of a tribe, a surname of the tribe's leader, as well as the name of a movement associated with that tribe.

The Houthi movement is a Shi'a Islamist movement from Yemen (where about 1/3 of the population are Shi'a, and 2/3 Sunni). The movement has been on the opposing side to the Yemeni government in the long Yemeni Civil War.

Allegedly it's supported by Iran (which Iran officially declined) and it's mottos include "Death to America" and "Death to Israel". That should explain roughly why they are causing a stir in the Red Sea region.

You seriously believe in Lamarck? Like, I don't know, I'm not a native speaker, maybe I'm missing something.

How many fucking times do we have to repeat this: TRAITS ACQUIRED DURING LIFETIME ARE NON-INHERITABLE

If you lose your fingers in an industrial accident, your children aren't going to be born fingerless, are they?

Giraffes don't have long necks because one little giraffe long, long ago tried really, really hard to grow a longer neck, but because giraffes who had been born with longer necks could compete better than those without, and pass on their genes. And they got those necks due to mutations.

Environmental pressure selects for benefitial mutations, while the mutations themselves are random. That's literally the mechanism of evolution through natural selection.

I'm sorry, is this somehow a revelation? "Direct heir" they say... There is a very good chance that "penal colony" is a former Gulag.
