    But watch this 30-second Zootopia 2 ad first because ooh shiny!

    Putting a capitalistic ad in front of a humanitarian/civil rights video should be a felony.

    The missile didn’t just land there, Israel shot it at him. Stop using passive voice to describe Israeli war crimes.

      Over 6,000,000 Jews were placed into protective custody during world war 2.

        That’s an “interesting” way to frame the holocaust, I guess, but I’m struggling to understand the relevancy?

          I think, and praying I’m correct, that they are showing how passive language can be used to excuse the worst behaviors of humanity.

            Yeah, now that I’ve thought about it, you’re probably right. I guess my hackles just get raised when people start talking about “jews” when you criticize Israel.

      And risk upsetting Israel? That’ll get you arrested on a good day, missiles shot at you on a bad one.

    Amazing. There’s a single frame in which you can actually see the missile just above the road. He was incredibly lucky.

        Wow, I think you’re right, I hadn’t even thought of that. Probably saved his life. Blimey.

          Next frame… multiple missiles, the closest goes in the hole and hits the near side, so all the blast is deflected up and away. These guys should buy themselves a lottery ticket

        Can’t disagree in principle but someone should explain why everyone has this fixation on X?

            avoiding it OC.
            Plenty of horrible media out there.
            I don’t dislike it more than the so-called respectable ones who use sneaky ltactics and language to mask they are regime mouthpieces.
            NYT, WaPo, BBC you name it.
            And the news agencies like Reuters, AP just as well.

            Sounds like some performative US lib shit.

              which one’s owner was recorded doing a “roman salute” publicly?
              musk is a step (or two) worse than those who at least pretend to be okay

                As I said, the others are simply more sneaky.
                At least he’s open about being a scumbag.
