'Death Zone': Over 700 Killed in 24 Hours as Israeli #Bombing Blitz of Gaza Rages
"What #Israel is doing in #Gaza right now is one of the most cruel tactics of war I've ever seen," said one healthcare aid worker.
More than 700 people were #killed in the Gaza Strip in just 24 hours, the Health Ministry in the besieged territory said Sunday, as Israeli bombings escalated following a brief pause and wider evacuation orders stoke fears of wider displacement and carnage.
#Kissinger’s Bombing Campaign Likely #Killed Hundreds of Thousands of Cambodians and Set the Path for the Ravages of the Khmer Rouge
The bombing resulted in the direct #deaths of hundreds of thousands of #Cambodians. With the #us keeping the bombings secret at the time comprehensive data and documentation are limited. But estimates on the number of deaths range from as few as 24,000 to as many as a million. Most estimates put the death toll in the hundreds of thousands
#Gaza casualties: 'Most of the #children in my family photo are dead'.
Whole #families have been wiped out in Israel's air strikes on the densely populated streets of Gaza, where many #Palestinians live in multi-generational homes. Three Palestinians in the UK told the BBC that more than 20 of their relatives had been #killed in one blow - and many were still stuck under the rubble.
Many of the #HospitalWorkers taking part carried 189 placards bearing names of a #healthcare#worker#killed in Gaza. Organisers said that in the time it took for the names to be printed, several more would have died.
The Many Awful Things That Happen To People, All Caused by Religions
No matter what kind of religion it is, #Religion isn’t meant to make things better; it’s only meant to keep us apart.
You’re not picked, but we are. Our #God is the real one, while yours is fake and dirty. #People of other religions can be #killed, #beaten, and #maimed because they are not of our religion, but people of our own religion must be loved and cared for.
That means 182 children more, within the last 24 hours.
UN’s major humanitarian agencies and international charities say:
»More than 100 attacks against health care have been reported.
Scores of #aid#workers have been #killed since October 7 including 88 UNRWA colleagues – the highest number of United Nations fatalities ever recorded in a single conflict.

“I hacked all the atms in vegas and took everyones money!” Lolololol (guy 1)

She is trying to get the U.S. to take extreme heat more seriously. Here's how
"... [E]xtreme heat killed more people in the U.S. last year than hurricanes, floods, lightning or tornadoes, according to the National Weather Service. Kathy Baughman McLeod says it doesn't have to be this way."
Every year, hundreds of #greyhounds in #WestVirginia suffer from painful broken bones, dislocations, and muscle injuries as they are forced to race for people’s “ #entertainment .”
The state’s two tracks are the only places left in the country where the cruel #racing is allowed — and 666 greyhounds paid for it in 2021 alone,
with the state gaming industry reporting that number of #injured#dogs included 218 dogs who suffered broken bones and four greyhounds who later were #killed.
But now, a federal #bill could end gruesome greyhound racing for good. HR 3894, the #GreyhoundProtectionAct, would amend the federal Animal Welfare Act to ban greyhound racing and remote gambling on the dogs.
I'm saying compare the #decision as to whether to search this landfill to the history of similar choices made by the same #authorities, rather than to other decisions made by different authorities (cities, provinces).
The #hazards are significant. #Refuse has really poor #structural qualities. People are #killed every year when the hole they're digging in a landfill while looking for #valuables collapses.
I’m saying 3 landfillls were searched in Toronto and no expense was spared because the guy was white.
Yeah, agreed! Toronto is bigger and has more money flowing through it (millions of folks vs around half a million IIRC), but those are the only two differences that I can see, and the 2nd one is remedied by asking and inviting the feds (or even another province) for help/to help.
I'm saying compare the #decision as to whether to search this landfill to the history of similar choices made by the same #authorities, rather than to other decisions made by different authorities (cities, provinces).
Sure. (Not sure why, actually, that it makes sense to limit the decisions just to the ones made by Winnipeg, but for the sake of argument...)
But I wasn't familiar with past WInnipeg cases. When did Winnipeg ever agree to do a landfill search before for remains of someone that was an indigenous woman?

That may be so, but the article about the report regarding the process (which I indirectly linked to) points out how it can be done far more safely. Granted, it doesn't say zero risk, but the conveyor belt idea is a stroke of genius.
They know this for certain because some traces were found in the bins, ... because they suspect - but have no proof
Makes sense. Like, if I had lost a hard disk containing millions of dollars worth of bitcoin, and the above was the difference in odds, then I'd likely just give up and not even try in the latter case, with those kind of odds.
Considering what's at stake here though, if those odds were the only difference, then I'd say it's still a lead worth pursuing.
