Even if Hamas were as evil and depraved as Israel likes to pretend they are, why would they keep using "human shields" when Israel has demonstrated repeatedly, and even said out loud, that they have no problem just... Shooting straight through those human shields? Even just from a purely pragmatic perspective, it's a silly argument.
Legitimately the best answer. Obviously only by accident but that was genuinely the best possible answer. I hate the dude but gotta give him props for that.
This is so true. My dad is a keen gardener and grows like, a dozen? Different fruits. When the figs are ripe they're my favourite. When the grapes are ripe, the muscatels are my favourite (the red seedless are pretty good but can't hold a candle to them). Loquats, in a good year, are my favourite fruit. Likewise plums, raspberries, and mandarins. Genuinely I think my favourite fruit is whatever's good (and that I like) right now.
I have two siblings. My parents offered to buy each of us something, up to a maximum. I'm chronically single and a recovering addict (sober for at this point about three or four years iirc); both my siblings are successful and partnered up in dual income households. When I decided what I wanted - at about 2/3 the value they offered and deliberately BELOW the max, my very charming mother said "well you can pay the balance...". She wanted to only offer half as much to me, because of course my siblings are both coupled up. Never mind that they're both financially stable and I haven't been in years due to my health issues. Honestly despise that woman.
