• Rubio: I don’t think there’s any way Israel can be expected to coexist or find some diplomatic offramp with these savages. I mean, these are people, as you have been reporting and others have seen, that deliberately targeted teenage girls, women, children, the elderly, not just for rape and murder, but then dumping their bodies off in the streets of Gaza, where the crowds can then defile their lifeless bodies. I mean, just horrifying things. And I don’t think we know the full extent of it yet. I mean, there’s more to come in the days and weeks ahead. You can’t coexist. They have to be eradicated. (remote)

“That peace-oriented Israelis were among Hamas’s targets has fueled further resentment of the Netanyahu government […] by contrast, the country’s military forces had been beefed up to protect settlers in the West Bank, who have clashed repeatedly with Palestinian residents.
Rachel Gur, an Israeli involved in the search for the missing, said that many of the residents of the collectives near Gaza had similar politics. “These are kibbutzniks, the people who vote for the left, who support coexistence,” she said. “You’re talking about the old time secular leftists, who want peace, who are against annexation.”
Another peace activist, Hayim Katsman, was initially believed to have been taken hostage on Saturday but was found killed in his home on Kibbutz Holit, near the southern end of Gaza.
[…]
Bilha and Yakovi Inon, who were peace activists and the parents of a prominent activist, Maoz Inon, were also killed on Saturday. The couple were killed in their farming collective, of Netiv Ha’Asara, which lies just north of Gaza.”

Used it instead of Cypress for an automation script (so: not a E2E test) believing it would be simpler.

Bigger mistake recently made.

I am a member of an Israeli group called "The Lighthouse for the awareness of #Gaza".

Since 2018 we have met every week, a few Kilometers from the border, to keep alive the hope for peace with Gaza.

Today, the third day of a new war in #israel, I wrote a post in my blog about our story, our present and some thoughts about hope.

Please read and share.

Peace to you all.

Edit: A shocking update. 108 bodies of Israelis were found in Kibbutz Be'eri, mentioned in my post.

Eitan, 12 ans et demi, enlevé par le Hamas : ce que l’on sait du mineur français disparu en Israël
🗞️ Le Parisien - 🕐 09/10 22:57
Les horreurs du Hamas n’ont pas de limite d’âge. Alors que l’attaque du mouvement islamiste au pouvoir à Gaza a fait plusieurs centaines de morts et de disparus depuis samedi, plusieurs ressortissants français sont à déplorer parmi les victimes.

I would really love it if people stopped for a couple of seconds and remembered that dismissing the crimes of your preferred group as "understandable mistakes" is 100% predictable human irrationality and that it's exactly how "never again" turns into "over and over again."

Whoever you have the most sympathy for, be more critical of them.

9. Nosferatu (1922). When I was tracking down a version of this to watch, most of them distinguished themselves by the accompanying music provided. The one on Alamo On Demand in particular had a soundtrack derived from actual live performances at the original Drafthouse location. Seeing this on a big screen with live music sounds incredibly fun
