"A two-month investigation by The Times uncovered painful new details, establishing that the attacks against women were not isolated events but part of a broader pattern of gender-based violence on Oct. 7.
Relying on video footage, photographs, GPS data from mobile phones and interviews with more than 150 people, including witnesses, medical personnel, soldiers and rape counselors, The Times identified at least seven locations where Israeli women and girls appear to have been sexually assaulted or mutilated." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/28/world/middleeast/oct-7-attacks-hamas-israel-sexual-violence.html?mwgrp=c-dbar&unlocked_article_code=1.JU0.6qnu.VMmCh35Adk0O&hpgrp=ar-abar&smid=url-share

Watch this astonishing 1-minute video: A prediction from 1947 of what life would be like once everyone had a tiny portable TV in their pockets.
In 1947, French science fiction writer René Barjavel was asked for a prediction of the future. He imagined a future with cell phones-like portable TVs and electronic communication in the film “La télévision, œil de demain”

John Irving: “What are they banning? They’re banning books about abortion and they’re banning books on LGBTQ subjects, What they’re saying to young, gay, lesbian, trans kids, they want them to feel even more alone and isolated than they already feel. They don’t want those kids to have access to material that will let them know they’re not alone. They already feel alone. There’s a cruelty to that that is unspeakable.”

Are any of you aware of a contemporary issue tracker system that is in reasonably widespread use, has email integration, and will
- parse an incoming message's In-Reply-To or References headers,
- check whether they contain any message IDs that are referenced in already-tracked issues, and then
- link it to that issue/those issues automatically,even if the sender has messed with the email subject, potentially removing the issue ID?
If so, please comment below. Boosts welcome, too.

I don't know where you saw that most Israelis have dual nationality, do you gave a source?
But anyway, it doesn't really matter.
Yes, Israel has committed a lot of crimes against the Palestinians over the years but right now both Jewish Israelis and Palestinians live between the river and the sea and non of us are going anywhere. This is the home of both peoples. We need to advocate for Jewish-Arab solidarity and a peaceful solution to the conflict.
