The number of deaths will increase exponentially (because most of it is starvation and there’s still almost no aid entering the strip), so a few years if nothing changes.

Why is this number so drastically higher than other numbers I’ve seen? I thought it was in the 40 thousands?

There was a Lancet study a while back that said the real number of deaths is likely five times the official number. Now that specific study doesn’t have to be 100% correct, but it’s a plain fact that the official number is a severe understatement, for two reasons:

First, the official number is the number of dead bodies the Gaza Health Ministry physically counted. It’s the number ofphysically confirmed deaths. That’s why they could release those lists of dead people, but it also means that anyone whose body wasn’t taken to a hospital (say, someone starved in the middle of nowhere or died under rubble) won’t be counted. This makes the GHM number the minimum possible number of deaths, not any kind of estimate trying to make up for blind spots.

Second, the Gazan healthcare system collapsed months ago. Most if not all hospitals got Al Shifa’d, and the ones working don’t have gas, electricity or any supplies. This is why the number plateaued (plateau’d???) several months ago. There’s nobody to count the dead, so because of the system I explained above the number is going up.

So anyway, what you’re seeing in the article isn’t that. It’s an estimate trying to make up for the dead who aren’t included in the 40000 the GHM counted. That’s the reason it’s so high.

Okay as a Muslim many things about Christianity now make a lot more sense.

ivxferre is right, so I’ll just state of a few examples:

Baito, which in fact comes from the German arbeit and means a part time job.

Apiiru, which comes from the English appeal but actually means to emphasize or play up something as a way of making yourself more attractive or making a point. For example, you can say “He looks like a good guy but that’s all apiiru”.

Cureemu, which is supposed to be the English claim but refers to complaints or having an issue with something in general.

So, about honorifics: Whether they’ll actually correspond to keigo is a hit and miss depending on the actual relationship between the characters. This happens for a few reasons, but the most important one is that in Japanese using an honorific other than san or sama (or not using one at all) is a declaration of either a large difference in status, a close relationship or shonen protagonist syndrome. It’s more complicated in real life, but this is how it usually goes in anime. So anyway, one common example is that highschooler characters will usually address each other with san even though they never use keigo.

About #4, where do you even see TN nowadays? I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen one in years.

As another guy who finds life easier with CCs (suspected audio processing issues + not a native speaker): Holy fuck this sounds terrifying. Both in a “what the fuck are you idiots doing” sense and in because having your perception of reality (or “reality” in this case) distorted by dumbasses on a keyboard is actually a scary idea. What are they even thinking?

It’s such that, I believe, a copy of Ronald Reagan would be labeled a communist by the current Republican party.

They’d definitely call him an antisemite for giving Israel a blank check to bomb Lebanon.

So to my unfamiliar self this sounds big. Does this mean all Australian universities will boycot Israeli universities?

Okay let me just say a Middle Eastern guy: This comment is an insult to the hundreds of thousands of Syrians who had to flee their homes to escape Assad’s tyranny and you should feel bad for making it.

I legitimately have no clue what the state department is doing or thinks it’s doing.

Pretty sure the state department actually objected to Biden’s encouraging of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. It’s just that Biden and Blinken are true believers here. It’s not about US interests or geopolitics or any of that stuff; they just want to see a greater Israel from the river to the sea.

Okay, so what are these people recommending then? I’m trying to be generous, but they sound like fucking retards.

They’re not recommending anything. I think that’s the point.

You suspect?!

Watch Zionists say Hezbollah is using the hospital as a headquarters.

I mean I’m not sure why you only value Israeli security in this arrangement, but presumably yes they would be. At least nobody would be launching rocket attacks.

/ It’s not Israel that’s the problem to these extremists, it’s the jews.

Shut the fuck up. Seriously. These people have been suffering apartheid and slow-burn genocide, accelerating to full-blown genocide last year, and they’re extremist who have a problem with Jews? Are you even listening to yourself?

Adding to what everyone else said, this is still a tentative deal. This is not the final form of the contract they’ll sign.

Not in modern America. Americans, for good reason, have a kneejerk negative reaction to the words “war in the middle east”. A war with Iran before November would seal Harris’s fate.

This is funny and I hate it.

Everyone being surprised the US doesn’t want a stable middle East: Insert surprised pikachu face.
