The international court of justice has spoken: Israel isn't committing any genocide. In fact, they're free to keep doing what they're doing.

And those hamas terrorists who kidnapped civilians and won't let doctors see them? They've been ordered to release the hostages *NOW*.

@cferdinandi I'll be honest, I'm not as well-versed in the West Bank as I am with Gaza, but I do know that Israel has tried numerous times to let Jordan have it back, and they've declined over and over

@cferdinandi Hell, Israeli troopers even let the civilians know when and where the strikes were to be done so they could evacuate. Hamas has literally prevented the civilians from leaving

@cferdinandi But it's *not* terrorism in response to terrorism. It's a sovereign state defending it's right to exist when it's borders are invaded by an outside threat

@cferdinandi Israel is doing the best they can in an unenviable position. Have they made mistakes in the past? Yes. They are only human. Are they trying to do better? Also yes.

With the world being turned against them right now no matter what they do they will be vilified, and that's not right.

We also have to remember that Hamas is using Palestinian people as human shields in order to get the sensational headlines that makes Israel look like the bad guys. And that's not right, either.

@cferdinandi Israel is doing the same thing that the US did when the Twin Towers were attacked. Was the US terrorists then?

Israel is defending it's right to exist against a terrorist organization that only wants to see Jews dead. It has nothing to do with the Palestinian people.

I'm also confused about your "state sanctioned settlement of Palestinian land", as Israel left the Gaza strip in 2005, forcibly removing their own citizens.

@cferdinandi Israel has been trying for *years* to find a way to co-exist peacefully with the Palestinian people. Israel provides basic utilities like water, electricity, etc.

The Palestinians are just as much a victim of Hamas as the Israeli people.

The history of the region is long and complicated. Sadly, most of what the international community knows is based on propaganda and not facts. Too much to enumerate in such a short text limit as Mastodon.

If you'd like a longer convo DM me

I got a 615 pts knowledge score on this year’s #stateofhtml survey! I have used 55 features, and knew 13 more, placing me in the top 14% of all respondents. Can you beat my score? https://survey.devographics.com/survey/state-of-html/2023?source=post_survey_share

@devolute @cferdinandi this is my view as well. Font size in `rem`, spacing in `em`, and `px` for flourishes like `border-radius`

As the death toll and rocket amount climb in an unprovoked attack on Israel by terrorists I can't even begin to process my emotions about what's happening right now.

#iStandWithIsrael and my Jewish brothers and sisters who are fighting for their lives and their freedom. Am Israel Chai.

@sophie of champions, yes! ☕️

And less than 9hrs later I have power again!

@cferdinandi thankfully my MIL lives nearby so we’re using her electricity and internet. But yeah, not being at my own house is SUCK

@cferdinandi good news! According to the power company we’ll have power back “on or before the 30th”. So…anytime between 5m and 5d

@cferdinandi so far, so good! Taking them to my mother-in-law’s house as she has power and a fridge

@cferdinandi considering all the other weather-related issues in the world right now, I’ll take no power :p

I and approximately 200k other people in the greater Cleveland, OH, USA area are without power due to storms last night.

And I went grocery shopping yesterday. I hope power comes back soon! 😰

What were (or are) your biggest challenges while learning JavaScript? Some things that come to mind for me and my own experience...

- Tutorials that assume I already knew a bunch of stuff
- Lots of `foo` and `bar`
- Trying to build things that were too big, getting stuck, and giving up
- Passive/aggressive or incomplete answers on StackOverflow
- Lots of "just use {tool}" type tutorials
- Anything that starts with "Just... {open up terminal and}"
