intentionally targeting hospitals is not a war crime when an enemy force is using said hospital as a base, which hamas was uncontroversially doing with that hospital.
it isn't terrorism by any standard because that word means something other than "is bad"
israel is within its rights to counterattack hamas with military force, and seek to destroy or unseat it. they were attacked in an open act of war and they get to hit back. the Geneva conventions do not say "no when someone fucks you up you just gotta sit there and take it."
whether they are legally allowed to do something is separate and less important than the real question of "is there a good reason to do this thing," which there isn't. this is a pointless and grotesque waste of life that they are allowed to do but should not be doing. anyone who knows anything about the situation is going to ignore you when you say Israel's conduct is illegal terrorism, and be right to do so. talk instead about the real things that make this a horrible thing that's happening instead of lazily making things up.
just to reiterate: intentionally targeting hospitals is a WAR CRIME and a TERRORIST ACTION

Sorry about the feelings and experiences. I did really like silent partner and I’m glad you wrote it
that's good
I don't feel the normal sense of happiness or praise a normal person does, and I do miss it and yearn for that feeling
but hearing people praise something I did, especially in a context where they're talking to others or where they're multiple independent people who haven't influenced each other, is better than nothing. it's more of an intellectual-ized sense of satisfaction but it is something.

executed as a spy for stealing the kingdom's top secret advanced magical sequin technology. the discovery she was working as a maid has caused the kingdom to re-evaluate its opsec priorities.
Breaking News Alert: our gracious prince has found the beautiful young woman who came thrice to his ball—once in a dress shimmering like starlight, once in a dress luminous as the moon, and once in a dress as golden and radiant as the sun on a summer day—only to discover that she was a scullery maid working in his own kitchen! needless to say she has been executed

magical girls with talking animal companions
we are in dire need of some new media trend. we've done pirates, we've done cowboys; we've gone through two whole zombie revivals. aliens and space themes have basically been a constant since at least the 1950s, as have robots and evil AIs. we went pretty heavy on vampires for a while. we've also done dinosaurs, ninjas, musicals, wizards, sea creatures, ancient rome, ancient egypt, middle ages out the wazoo, entirely too much world war II, we're currently overdosing on our superhero phase, we've done monsters (misunderstood), monsters (radioactive), fake guy in the real world, real guy travels to fake world, caves & mining, vikings, what if you were really small, genre parody as a genre, sand, New York, time travel, something racist goes down in the jungle, neurodivergent detective, buddy cops, crooked cops, gangsters, bank heists in particular, kid has powers, revolt against the corporate world, portals, social insects, dragons, the British, global apocalypse, martial arts, roadtrip as self-discovery, Jesus, clones, clowns, babysitting goes wrong, demonic possession, ghosts of all kinds, talking animals, fucking with the stock market, restaurant ownership, dwarves, planes, and spies. where do we go from here. what's our next big thing

"We think these people are uncontrollably violent when presented with completely innocuous things, but they have a fashionable identity category, so it's going to be YOUR fault for exposing them to the thing that makes them uncontrollably violent."

I was told they were against Zionists, not Jews. So why would being "quite openly Jewish" be a issue if it's not about Jewish people?

oh and of course if you look up the actual article these people are screaming about nothing they impute onto it is true. they made it up in their heads in order to scream about it because they did not read it, and the person who originally posted the screenshot of the headline was a liar!
the article says they asked people what they plan to splurge on and among the answers that those people gave "food and groceries" was more common in zoomers and millenials. the article explicitly states that A: this is a lot more modest than what we would otherwise consider "splurging" and B: the splurging in question represents buying more expensive and high-quality groceries as, you know, as like a treat, the kind of thing people say the word "splurge" about. There's no scorn or judgment or blame or "damn kids" or "you should tighten your belts" or any of the things people are imputing to it.
I note the OP, J P Hill, posted a screenshot of a headline that he mislead the reader about, and then posted a link to an article (written by himself, of course) about why the thing that article didn't say at all was actually wrong and evil and actually it's corporate greed that did it.
If someone posts a screenshot of a headline instead of a link, and they want the headline to make you angry, that person is lying to you. That person is lying to you to manipulate your emotions and make you upset and outraged for the sole purpose of a few fleeting moments of self-validation. That person is your enemy.

big corporations jacked up the price of food
money is not real and does not measure anything and has nothing to do with "material conditions." the price of an object is determined entirely by the evil greed of the corporation selling it. if they decided not to be evil and greedy then everything would be cheap and plentiful.
also corporations only very recently became evil and greedy and jacked prices up, because prices were not this high before, and since the only determinor of price is greed they must not have been as greedy. when a number is too high my vision just turns red and I start shrieking for blood, so inflation isn't a real thing, they made it up to be greedy.

leftists when white supremacists are virulently antisemitic: if there’s four people sitting at a table with a nazi, there are five nazis.
leftists when islamists, arab supremacists, and leftists are virulently antisemitic: well of course there’s bad actors at every protest, and anyway these are just outside provocateurs, and they didn’t do anything really, but if they did it’s because those jews fucking deserved it
