The suffering is enormous ON BOTH SIDES. Let's hope that some day it will help bring both peoples together.
Not to mention soldiers who die in Gaza and terror attacks in Israel. Oct7, 23 didn't stop on Oct7, 23. Today again, an Jordanian humanitarian truck driver killed two people at Allenby crossing. It's a complex war, but it sure is a war, and everywhere.
Oh no, because governments make choices. Hamas chose to invest in rockets instead of infrastructures. Anyway, we are AT WAR without quotation masks. Houthis fire missiles/drones every day. During two years there were also IR, Hezbollah, Palestinian factions from Syria and Iraq, and hostages not back
Anyway, whether or not some epigenetic changes can be inherited across a few generations in certain cases, and whether or not it is what explains intergenerational trauma, it doesn’t change the fact you never lived in a country at war.
You are free to adhere to an hypothesis I’m not profoundly convinced about.
No I’m not aware of that and not sure about it. From a genetic point of view, epigenetic factors aren’t passed from generation to generation. Trauma for descendants is highly possible, cultural impact and education can transmit trauma but the gene explanation is very unlikely.
I’m not denying that you can understand some things through family stories. But there’s a difference between understanding something intellectually and living it. Your perspective is shaped by history, not by being under fire yourself.
You only know one thing, that there are no winners in a war. That’s all. You know it from history books or from your family. But for you it is not lived experience.
You weren’t even born in the 1940s
By contrast, prisoners like Sinwar, for example, received surgery while in custody. They have access to lawyers, visits from NGOs, and some even pursue studies while imprisoned. Any mistreatment of prisoners is punishable under Israeli law. 5/
The conditions are also entirely different: hostages have no visits, no healthcare, and no recognition of basic human rights. They are literally at the mercy of their captors who risk nothing for raping, torturing them, forcing them to perform sexual acts on each other… 4/
By contrast, the October 7 hostages were all taken on the same day, forcibly removed from their homes, and violently transported to foreign territories. Their ages ranged from 9 months to 85 years. 3/
Prisoners are detained because they are suspected of involvement in terrorism. After investigation, those without evidence are released. For others, detention can be long—but until then, they pose no threat. 2/
Prisoners are not hostages. The term “hostage” has a specific meaning: someone taken and held specifically for ransom. 1/
Do you know what a war is ? Has your country ever been at war ? Do you know what to do when you hear the sirens ? Have you ever wounded yourself by running to a shelter? Do you have PTSD to the point you panic during storms or fireworks ? If not, listen to people’s lived experience. 6/
… civilians, in schools, in hospitals, in NGO buildings… It’s a complicated situation where wrong doings are not one-sided. If you know nothing, cherry pick what you read, make generalizations without realizing it like you did, you’re contributing to prolonging the war. 5/
… innocent Gazans. Leaflets were distributed in Arabic to allow the population to move but Hamas prevents them from moving. Hamas also made choices to invest in rockets instead of infrastructure to protect civilians. They hide in tunnels instead of protecting people, and get out disguised as… 4/
Urban area wars are extremely complicated. Casualties are caused by both sides, especially when one side is governed by a terrorist organization that purposely uses civilians as human shields. Terrorists and pro Hamas civilians also held hostages in civilian homes, thus purposely exposing… 3/
It may be just an information war for you, but for all Israelis and Palestinians, it’s a real war, our daily lives, and our survival depends on it. It’s very dangerous when uninvolved Westerners who know nothing distorts facts to justify hatred on any side. Unlearn. Learn. Grow. 2/
A war is never “equal”. If wars were “equal” there wouldn’t be any winner. Despite this, I’m particularly appalled by people who pretend to be against this war but never call for Hamas releasing hostages and laying down their weapons, which is the key to ending the war. 1/
Killed while facilitating aid from Jordan into Gaza. HY"D Details in first comment.
Do you support those who reason this way? If not (and I hope so), do you think collective punishment & guilt by association is acceptable for some and not for others? 3/
Now imagine applying that same logic to Gaza — blaming the entire population, including innocent civilians, for Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Mujahideen brigades, and the pro-Hamas civilians who took part in October 7 or in holding hostages. Would you accept that? 2/
Netanyahu will be condemned by Israel & go to jail there. His trial is ongoing, even at war time. Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Smotrich… should be condemned for their wrong-doings. But my issue is with your last sentence: “I think that’s the reason a lot of people from the other side condemn everybody” 1/
When someone highlights discrimination and abuse against other groups of people, do you simply condemn it, or do you immediately bring up wrong doings carried out by governments where this group of people is a majority? 6/
Do you want the end freedom of opinion for everyone ? I mean, do you want someone in jail just because they support Trump ? Do you want all Americans who voted for Trump in jail ? Or is it just for Jews and Israelis ?
My other question is: anyone is free to support who they want. That’s called freedom of opinion. If a person—Netanyahu supporter or not—commits crimes or contributes to them—yes they should be held accountable. But if it’s just someone having an opinion, although it’s not mine, why ? 4/
What is the link between Netanyahu’s wrong doings and the exponential rise in antisemitic acts across the world, including NL ? 3/
That’s why I asked you why you were linking them. Now you suddenly realized your big mistake and you changed your stance. Good. But once again now you bring up Netanyahu, who should indeed be held accountable for his wrong doings. But, let me, once again, ask you why you bring that up ? 2/
I’ll pass on the fact you claim a genocide that doesn’t exist (it is declared after a trial and a verdict), we won’t agree on that and that’s your right. However you brought that up specifically after I raised concerns about assaults and discrimination faced by individuals. 1/
“Jewish rats. Palestine will triumph!” Jewish students near Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸 received these letters in their mailboxes. Do you seriously still think this is just “criticism of Israel”?
Earlier you linked incidents I mentioned — individuals assaulted, abused, discriminated against simply for who they are — to the suffering in Gaza. Why? Recently, again, the cousin of a murdered hostage was physically assaulted just for speaking Hebrew. Do you see how problematic it is.
Oh no, you are not….
He doesn’t even realize he is changing the subject, and worse.
Not my problem
Anyway the good answer here was “it does”, not “it can”. It’s a question at population level, not for every individual.
🤟😢
Of course I did
Watch out. It's not necessarily wrong depending on context. Ct values aren't a good measurement for viral loads. Vaccinated individuals are less infectious at the same Ct count. RNA levels are not the same as infectious particles.
It is not a dispute. I don't like playing up and antics. Wearing a mask is fine. Doing it for show, as a "religious" symbol is not.
On another hand, if you got infected and hospitalized after your first dose — which was more likely with an increased gap between doses — the first dose was lost.
I agree, but the goal was to fully vaccinate as many vulnerable people as possible in the shorter possible timeframe. It’s tough, I get it, because there were many arguments in favor of extending the dosing interval.
What about those who have a paper PhD (no lab) and use it to spread misinformation?
Please let’s not rewrite 2021 through the eyes of 2025. Of course an extended dosing interval would have provided better immunity. But the context was: novel virus, immune naive population, urgency, vaccine shortage… The urgency was to provide some protection as early as possible
Tralala is another expression taken from the French
@marcveld.bsky.social knew him too!

Les biens pensant de gauche, sont encore plus intolerants et dangereux que les gens qu'ils dénoncent.
Traiter tout le monde de « facho-quoi » puis appeler au meurtre tout en martelant son indifférence face à un homme qui se vide de son sang après avoir pris une balle dans la nuque à cause de ses idées. Qui est facho ?
“Who remembers Marc?” I didn’t know Marc was famous and wanted strangers to remember him.
Non
For #FungalWeek25 raise awareness about fungal skin infections like chromoblastomycosis, sporotrichosis, and mycetoma. Improving early access to diagnosis and treatment can prevent severe infections and complications. https://bit.ly/470gm2H
I never heard that term either. Well, science relies on data and evidence, not opinions, so I don't see how it could exist
Where did Marc talk about "immune debt" ?
What is a "progressive voice of science" ?
A friend posted this! It is worth a repost. One phone call to show you care can make the difference in someone's life. Make the call.
Hey Canada! You’re supposed to be the nice guys. How did this get to be okay? #antisemitism
Inbar, we won’t let the world forget you. There is STILL a woman held hostage by Hamas. Inbar Haiman, z”l, was kidnapped on October 7th from the Nova festival. She didn’t come to the party just to dance, but as a “helper,” to help partygoers in distress.
Because Monseigneur-Dieu-Veldhoen is mansplaining
That’s enough. @marcveld.bsky.social corrected misinformation that Dr. Costagliola contributed to amplify on her social platform. He didn’t attack her as a person or as a woman. I’m particularly appalled by accusations of misogyny or harassment.
Also, message to Khymani James: You are not intimidating me with your death threats, and next year you will be counted in this graph.
It’s more complicated than that. See DM
It’s like saying, two days after SC2 positivity rate rises in America, “hey see, patients don’t end up in the hospital, so Covid harms less than flu in NL”. And you don’t even know the testing protocols.
In the same vein thé views held by Charlie Kirk could easily fall under the scope of violence in an EU country. You cannot draw any conclusions from this graph.
Probably not, because Americans protect hate speech instead of protecting people *from* hate speech. So @marcveld.bsky.social you have to be aware that this graph may not reflect what you’d see in NL for the same acts taken into account. The delay/timing blurs it further.
We also need a consistent definition of “political violence”. For instance, US elite campuses becoming platforms for those glorifying terrorist Nazis, chanting genocidal slogans, seizing buildings, sending staff to hospitals, and causing significant property damage should be counted. Is it?
it is too soon. So you cannot draw any conclusions on current period until a few months/years.
There is always a delay because you can only count acts resulting in a guilty verdict. Eg: the murders of Sarah Milgrim & Yaron Lischinsky (far left), Karen Diamond (far left), the assault of Ariel Marciano (cousin of the late Guy Iluz), universities campuses violence etc… are not counted because
WhatsApp?
Noooo ?
Robert Redford (RIP) survived a childhood bout of polio though bedridden for 2 weeks In 2014, he directed a short film on the architecture and mission of La Jolla's Salk Institute—honoring founder Jonas Salk, inventor of the polio vaccine that has saved countless lives, and architect Louis Kahn
Sorry @fabienne1972.bsky.social for the off topic but until yesterday did you know some guy named Robert Redford ?
So you are, among other things, Islamophobic, which is a fundamental right.
Thanks
You continue to use the contemptuous attitude. Let’s see what Dutch police has to say about your statements if it’s possible for me to file a lawsuit. Now leave me alone.
Beste @politie-amsterdam.bsky.social What are the steps that a non EU citizen temporarily living in a EU country should take to file charges against a Dutch citizen for hate? Best regards.
Ah? The hostages were released ? It’s an info even their families didn’t have. But hey, continue to pretend that wrong doings are one sided and, worse, to use it to justify the demonization of an entire people and attacks on individuals based on who they are
5 minutes before I report you
1/ There’s no génocide. À génocide is established after a TRIAL and a VERDICT. You obviously don’t know the presumption of innocence. 2/ Nobody said that. 3/ What does it have to do with the fact that Hamas started this war, can end it any moment ? 4/ How does it justify xenophobia or antisemitism?
No, supporting Palestine is not the issue. But when he spreads falsehoods to demonize us collectively, and when he links the fact we are harassed/assaulted as individuals to the war in Gaza, that’s another story.
I don’t like the “We are not our government” mantra because it is placing the blame on us collectively. We don’t have to show patte blanche to prove our humanity. I prefer to criticize our government as a citizen, in the demos.
No, actually not necessarily. In the West in particular, very few adhere to Islamic rules and laws. Just like very few Christians adhere to the beliefs that homosexual men should face death penalty. It is the major difference between a religion and a believer.
@socialimpurity.bsky.social I have to return to writing I’m letting you play with the left wing bigot
No, just for being in a war started by their own government which has not organized elections for almost 20 years. Also, what does it have to do with me or my compatriots being assaulted, harassed or abused just for who we are ?
Oh no it’s a very good example: if people held all the Marcs responsible for what Marc Dutroux did, everyone would find it so absurd. Yet every day our compatriots are canceled, harassed, assaulted… just for being Israelis.
Also it is not the same Marc. @marcveld.bsky.social isn’t responsible of the Westsplaining of all the Marcs in the world 😂😂
I would disagree because Muslims aren’t collectively responsible for crimes committed in the name of Islam, for the very reason I mentioned above: Muslims are not Islam. And also because an individual cannot be treated differently because of his religion.
Here you conflate ideology and group of people again. Muslims are not Islam. The vast majority of Muslims don’t adhere to Islamic rules. In Europe and US in particular they are citizens like others and follow the law of their country, not Islamic law.
took guns and killed. But hey, they were following this ideology and wouldn’t have killed anyone if they didn’t. So, yes, the ideology is responsible for that.
Ofc I am also impressed by the confidence of a total stranger telling me what is behind the torture and murder of my loved ones. Ofc people did it, but they were indoctrinated by an ideology that pushed them to do that. It’s like saying that white supremacy didn’t kill anyone because only people…
Leave* obviously
I wouldn’t even be surprised if you voted left & already called for listening women & people’s lived experience in general. But hey, maybe that only applies to Westerners, not to Middle Easterners who grew up threatened by political Islam.
And ofc for people who live Islam, the sentence — according to the legal framework that doesn’t exist — cannot be as bad as the death penalty. No, ofc not, I needed some Western dude to explain to me that I’m wrong.
Ofc there are no countries with political systems entirely grounded in Islam, applying religious law as state law and using religious legitimacy to govern. And ofc Muslim Brothers doesn’t explicitly treat Islam as a political system seeking to implement sharia in public life and governance.
doesn’t emphasize the ummah as the the global community of believers tied to political unity. It ofc doesn’t imply a model of society governed by Islamic principles. Ofc the prophet didn’t have a dual role as both religious leader and a head of state & military commander in Medina.
You have the right to dislike Christianity of course. But I wish I had the confidence of a Western guy explaining a woman who grew up in a broad region where political Islam is dominant that Islam is not a political ideology. Ofc Islam doesn’t have a comprehensive legal framework, it
It poses a major issue as the same term cannot refer to both a fundamental right (criticism of political ideology/religion) and a crime (hostility towards a group). That’s why this word ends up silencing any criticism.
2/ Criticizing an ideology however is a fundamental right. That applies to all religions and political views. The term “Islamophobia” (literally fear/dislike of Islam) is commonly instrumentalized by Muslim brotherhood to conflate criticism of Islam and hostility towards Muslims.
Why are Westerners so slow to get it ? Why am I the one explaining you your Western universalist values ? 1/ There’s something called freedom of beliefs. You cannot discriminate against an individual based on their religion. That’s called anti-Muslim bigotry or Muslimophobia.
