How is this Noteworthy News?

This thread consists of news reports and people's comments on those reports.

The Auden quote was my comment on the previous seven posts, which had to do with the situation in Palestine.

FWIW, I found this quote perfectly appropriate for this thread (no sarcasm).

shot in the eye
shot in the brain
shot in the ass
shot like a flower in the dance

amazing how death wins hands down
amazing how much credence is given to idiot forms of life

amazing how laughter has been drowned out
amazing how viciousness is such a constant

I must soon declare my own war on their war
I must hold to my last piece of ground
I must protect the small space I have made that has allowed me life

my life not their death
my death not their death...

Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin among 6 hostages found dead in Gaza, Biden says

President Biden announced late Saturday that the bodies of six Hamas-held hostages were recovered by Israeli forces in a tunnel under the Gaza city of Rafah, including that of Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin.

"I am devastated and outraged," Mr. Biden said. "Hersh was among the innocents brutally attacked while attending a music festival for peace in Israel on October 7. He lost his arm helping friends and strangers during Hamas' savage massacre."

I guess Hamas is not that innocent after all and Israel has a right to defend themselves.

Sorry, did someone claim Hamas is innocent?

Right, Israel just doesn't have the right to commit war crimes in so doing.

Fifth day in a row that Israeli bulldozers have gone up and down the streets of Jenin, in the illegally occupied West Bank, ripping up pavement and sideswiping random buildings.

I expect nothing less. If you destroy Palestinian infrastructure, it becomes MUCH easier to exterminate Palestinians.

Definition of insanity

Apparently the school resource officer got the perp to surrender.

^Now is not the time to talk about gun control. Don’t politicize the Second Amendment. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Arm the teachers and harden the schools.

Kid was probably a crisis actor, anyway.
