Zorral Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Israel announces the withdrawal of its ground troops from southern Gaza to rest but announces “future operations” The army alludes that the forces remaining in Gaza will ensure “precise operations based on intelligence.” Military sources deny that the decision is due to pressure from the United States https://elpais.com/internacional/2024-04-07/israel-retira-sus-tropas-terrestres-del-sur-de-gaza-cuando-se-cumplen-seis-meses-de-la-guerra.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Wait, so that means past operations have not been based on intelligence? Shocking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Stink Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 The only solution to the crisis in the Middle East is allowing Palestinians to migrate to Europe, the USA, or somewhere else. It's not fair to Israel or the Palestinians to make them live with each other where they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Bingo! Congratulations! Your solution is exactly the problem itself. Including the use of "allowed'. You realize that, right?

kissdbyfire Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 And the world’s richest and most obnoxious incel is at it again! https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/apr/08/elon-musk-brazil-x-jair-bolsonaro Elon Musk faces Brazil inquiry after defying X court order Quote Elon Musk faces a legal investigation in Brazil after becoming embroiled in a public row with a supreme court judge over an order requiring the social network X to take down some far-right accounts. Justice Alexandre de Moraes had issued a court order forcing the site formerly known as Twitter to block several users as part of his investigation into the former president Jair Bolsonaro’s attempts to stay in power after his 2022 election defeat. The order also barred the social network from publishing details of which accounts were blocked, and came with fines of about £16,000 a day for failure to comply. Now, Musk says, the company will reverse those blocks. The multibillionaire also called on Moraes to resign or be impeached. In response, the judge announced late on Sunday that he had opened an inquiry into what he called Musk’s obstruction of justice.

The Anti-Targ Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I guess if X defies a court order the court can give the whole platform a timeout (i.e.block access in Brazil) until it complies with the court order. I suppose that would be a pretty extreme action but ultimately what is a court going to do if a company refuses a court order without going through the legal appeals process to get the court order overturned? I guess daily fines are good but what if X refuses to pay? If Musk makes this all about standing up for some kind of principle then refusing to pay fines will be part of that moral stand.
