Yes Israel is committing war crimes; so is the US. I think either time share or off coast settlement platforms are the best options. Then if either side attacks the other it will be obvious who attacked whom. Finally, more cameras, on every street corner in everyone’s hand (cell phone cameras). Only recording these atrocities and getting those recordings out to the public (internet, news sources, YouTube, etc) will ever change this situation. Don’t let Israel hide behind antiquated excuses of ww2 persecution!

I wonder how it is for people who rely on breathing devices to stay alive. I would die if I'm not able to sleep with my bipap device. I hope all wars end.
@Nightwings Hamas gave them a reason to keep the war going. Israel was basically waiting for an excuse to start a war, provoking them and giving them a reason to start a war wasn't exactly a good move. Most of the Israeli hostages are innocent civilians and so are the Palestinians it's bad for everyone involved. It's ridiculous how we as humans never learn that violence is not an answer.
There's also Sudan for example like imagine killing your own people. Those guys have more oil than Saudi Arabia and they left all that and started a new civil war. And now Iran is suffering too. This world sucks.

The RFS are armed groups that include mercenaries from other countries. And they are funded by the Gulf countries.
As to Israel. Hamas gave them an excuse. They have never cared about the hostages. It is about land, expansion, arm deals. And about Netanyahu escaping the judicial system and prolonging his necessity. Hamas, as terrorist group, is an excuse. They have plenty of actual reasons.
If we are talking about this objectively, the Palestinians do need to resist. There aren't many routes to do so. And it wouldn't be "unfair" if it involved civilian deaths.
The problem with Hamas isn't just that they targeted civilians, it is that it was unnecessary and aimless and unethical. Just like Israel's.
I don't think we should look at these events as human nature for variety of reasons.
Their fighters are largely recruited as mercenaries, with funding coming from the capture of gold mines and patronage by corporate and state actors; the group has also hired out its fighters as mercenaries to fight in conflicts and assist governments outside Sudan such as in the Yemeni civil war (2014–present).
Please don't be mistaken about what the RSF is 🙏🏻
This is important to me because the same things happened here. We had terrorists swarming in and the international public opinion was that it was simply a civil war, so they don't have to do anything about it.
I have seen and witnessed the presence of foreign terrorists myself in the 90s.
It is true that it's history repeating itself, but it is not everyday people who are responsible for this. They serve the money machine making the rich, richer elsewhere.
Often the boredom is what's stressful. Someone who is actively doing something gives the feeling of working toward their goals.
What if you did your drawings starting with traditional pencil and physical medium? Then when you get your power on you can do a quick photo snap and so you already have a trace to start with.
@froggtongue I could totally do the lineart manually like you say, it's a great idea however the rendering is what actually takes time. I do have a bit of time when I can work if my husband is ok with not doing anything in the meantime while I use the battery, but it's tough.
@Starcrossed It is still super cold. This is Celsius, not Fahrenheit (-15°C is 5°F for comparison):
I've been thinking mostly of our elderly neighbor. You know those things people put warm water in, often to alleviate period cramps? I've never tried them, but maybe sleeping with those could help our elderly neighbor stay warm? I'm not sure if they last very long though. At least my husband and I have each other.
@Nightwings I figured it was C not F. When you had posted about the cold I immediately wondered/worried about you/all your neighbors [national neighbors, not nextdoor ☺] that might be experiencing power outages and I had almost asked you then. A few hours later I saw some international reporting on the power outages there and while I usually like being right about things, I didn't want to be right about that. I feel so sad for you all.
I'm in Minnesota in US so those temps are normal winter for me, but I know that can get dangerous with no heat.
The hot water bottle is an excellent idea. Might at least take some chill off even if its only momentarily? I think back to what people used to do without central heating way back before industrialization. I presume some neighbors have woodburing stoves and fireplaces? Perhaps someone could source an old or assemble a new bed warmer for the neighbor and bring them some hot coals from time to time?
I am so sorry. I have no words to say other than no one deserves this, and definitely the people of Ukraine don’t. I wish you well and I hope things go back to normal soon.
