We also have intersections with dedicated pedestrian green light. All cars stop and pedestrians can cross any direction. Allowing cars to enter a busy intersection when pedestriana are in it is insane, especially if the driver has to look one way for vehicles and the opposite way for people.

Can you list the competent Palestinian leaders who have been killed by Israel? All the people targeted by Israel that I know of were Hamas / IJ / Al Qaeda leaders or Iranian military.

Gaza population growth is 3% a year. If the Israelis are committing genocide they're not doing a very good job.

Words matter. The Israelis treat the Palestinians atrociously but it's not genocide.

How does this help them gain their land? On the contrary it will harden public opinion against them. The only person that benefits from this is Netanyahu. I'm stunned by the stupidity of Hamas.

If it's a genocide then they're not doing a very good job considering that Gaza has an annual population growth of 3%.

He's invited the leaders of the opposition to form an emergency government of national unity. Basically the exact opposite of what you just said.

Surprised? Yes. The only person who benefits from this is Netanyahu. Hamas has to know that. They also know that a) there is no way in hell they can defeat Israel militarily and b) acts like this push public opinion even more against a Palestinian homeland. So what was the rationale? I'm mystified.

Colombia too, and so far Petro is doing a pretty good job . The peso is stronger and the economy is doing well, he's negotiated and end to the flighting with some armed groups and he's serious about social justice and land reform. I have my fingers crossed.. we need some left of center success stories in Latin America to counter the narrative that all socialist policies lead to Venezuela style collapse.

Having said that I understand fully why Argentines would elect this guy .. they've had a bunch of corrupt and incompetent idiots for far too long.

 

Survivors of crimes committed by the 1970s military junta in Argentina are fighting to see a priest stand trial for his alleged role in kidnappings and torture against opponents of the regime.
