Wow really? That’s fascinating! Can you elaborate?

Oh I thought there was something rational forthcoming, but it’s just baselessly accusing the source of being propaganda.

Correct

I think it’s way more complicated than that, and that the article disagrees with your unsourced personal opinions. I had hoped you’d have some collection of well sourced articles backing up the simplistic assertion of “line goes up” meme that directly counters the specific data in the article, but unfortunately I see you do not have any reliable data to support your position, much less refute what is in the article. I don’t see this going anywhere.

Awesome, I trust it too :)

Hilarious :)

Overall, we rate Brooking Institution Left-Center biased based on donations to primarily Democratic candidates and policy advocacy that slightly favors the left. We also rate them Very High for factual reporting due to strong sourcing and a clean fact check record. (D. Van Zandt 5/15/2016) Updated (12/22/2023)

I do, I have more than just what not to do, I was hoping you could elaborate on an option other than violence. But it seems you can’t.

Before I give you what I think Hamas should do, are you declaring that you have no better option than violence, since that’s the only thing we eliminated? Unless that is, you advocate for violence.

I disagree entirely. I would counter that your unsourced personal opinion does not counter data.

The study discussed in the Reuters link is:

Well, you’re entitled to your opinions, I’ll stick with the data.

You’re correct it is a different article. It is reporting on greedflation.

It was probably a combination of inventory management and greedflation. There’s no reason why it has to be only one or the other.

Corporate price gouging has not been a primary driver of U.S. inflation, according to research published on Monday by economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

While markups for motor vehicles and petroleum products did rise sharply during the 2021-2022 inflation surge, markups across the entire spectrum of U.S. goods and services have been relatively flat during the post-pandemic recovery, the bank’s latest Economic Letter showed.

“As such, rising markups have not been a main driver of the recent surge and subsequent decline in inflation during the current recovery,” wrote the bank’s research chief Sylvain Leduc and colleagues Huiyu Li and Zheng Liu.

I trust that when you say “fight” you don’t advocate for violence, considering we just eliminated that one option, correct?

In which case, I’d love to hear what you think that would entail.

I will respond :)

I posted it because it was an article about a new report that came out today about very important current events, in my opinion. Why are you so sensitive about this article? (Purposefully ignoring the whataboutism, let’s all remind ourselves of what the article is about)

Edit: I don’t get the constant badgering about this being “timely” as the article came out today. Does anyone have any idea what they’re talking about?

In your opinion, what do you do? I’ve narrowed it down for you by 1 option.

It was last week.

Not do what they did.

It’s not justification, it’s a reason?

Justification:

the action of showing something to be right or reasonable.

Reason:

a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event.

Reasonable

based on good sense.

I won’t be responding to you anymore.

Edit: I’d like to document here (for myself mostly) how simply posting an article critical of Hamas’ actions is considered by members of this community as justifying violence.

Also because I think it’s funny considering the discussion chosen in the comments, FTA:

“Atrocities do not justify atrocities,” Sawyer said. “To stop the endless cycle of abuses in Israel and Palestine, it’s critical to address root causes and hold violators of grave crimes to account. That’s in the interests of both Palestinians and Israelis."

In other words, how I know the other two didn’t read the article without saying they didn’t read the article :)

This is some timely reporting… I hadn’t heard about this event!! /s

What even is the point of this post? We all know Oct 7 was a horrific, disgusting operation. We all agree Hamas is evil. It’s almost like a certain group of people are still trying to justify the ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity by Israel in Gaza and the West Bank.

Actually, contrary to what you think you read, no one is doing that. The article was posted today, by human rights watch, so maybe you could email them asking about their timing. And there’s nothing in there about justifying violence.

However, I find it intriguing that you overlook the only other comment under this post attempting to justify Oct 7 (posted 40 minutes prior to yours). Almost like there’s direct evidence supporting the opposite of what you’re baselessly claiming.

Gaza was an open air prison enforced by Israel taking total control of Gaza’s borders, both north and south and even their sea border. It was a humanitarian crisis of people dying from lack of supplies like food and water.

What do you do as Gaza?

I read your quote, along with the entire article, which is the subject of discussion. Choose a better quote next time, one that maybe expresses what you’re trying to say. What you failed to do was specify what you meant by how they’re fighting, and after reading the article (which I trust you also did) and the quote (introductory paragraph of the article) you chose to back up what you meant, I would find little reason to think that you’re referencing any other form of warfare than what is described in the article.

Goodbye, I refuse to speak to you anymore.
