Yeah, Richie’s character is great, I just felt like they skipped over a lot of development after ep 8. Syd and Richie becoming a great team would also be a great story element.

I don’t know - it seems like there could still be a lot of character development. Carmine has a lot of development to do before I would consider him healthy. I just hope they do better than they did with Richie. His transformation seemed like a miracle change.
Sydney and Carmine still have a lot of possible growth and conflict in their relationship. I’m very curious how that develops.
My main issue is that they seem to solve problems too easily.

When you say “Star Wars,” do you mean everything after the original trilogy? I just can’t imagine this comment making sense otherwise.
- Comment on Why do some Spanish/English words share the same multiple meanings? 11 months ago:
I have done professional and amateur translation work in a couple of different languages. In addition to what others say, it seems like many languages go through a type of convergent evolution. For people who live in completely different cultures, with completely different histories and values, it is amazing to see how many words expressing abstract concepts can be exact translations in almost every way. It is just my intuition, but I believe translators play a key in a language’s evolution.

Yes, I believe that user is either unknowingly parroting Israeli propaganda or intentionally distributing it

The op in this thread said: “The Palestinians are getting combatants who were arrested for other attacks by and large.” That is obviously misinformation. That is what I was responding to.
Is there an index for which apartheid states are better than others? That seems like an interesting index.

One woman stabbed several Israelis with a knife.
One woman was “accused by the Israeli government of stabbing people who stole land and homes from Palestinian people” is more accurate.

The misinformation is calling all the released Palestinians combatants. That seems like the Israeli’s talking point here, which is a fabrication.
Yes, all of these people are charged by the Israeli state, an apartheid state oppressing the Palestinian people. They can make up whatever charges they want. Who believes them?
What is it with Israeli’s and the justifications for killing and imprisoning Palestinian minors? It seems like there is some ulterior motive for removing the younger generation from those lands.

First, “was accused by Israel of stabbing several Israelis” is more accurate. And we know Israel lies. Can you really believe it? Why are they releasing her if she is such a dangerous criminal? It is an apartheid state, there isn’t really true justice there.
Second, according to my sources, the Israelis that were stabbed were occupiers. I have very little compassion for people who steal people’s land, especially oppressed people’s land, to use as their own.

It’s also a good discussion of how propaganda works. I mean, we continually see how Israel lies, now we’re seeing the misinformation campaign about all the “combatants” being released that are actually teenage boys, many of whom were captured for throwing rocks and may face 20 years in prison for it.
- Comment on In the Hamas/Israel war, why does Palestine have "hostages" but Israel has "prisoners"? 11 months ago:
Can you provide a citation that the Palestinians were combatants? I’m seeing that they are mainly minors and women who were arrested for other things.

How about this source, the actual human rights organization that produced the report?

Administrative detention constitutes a draconian violation of a person’s rights to liberty and due process. International humanitarian law permits this detention without trial only as an exceptional measure when there is a substantial security threat that cannot be otherwise avoided. But Israel’s use of this measure toward Palestinians is not exceptional at all; Israel holds hundreds of Palestinians from the West Bank in administrative detention for periods of months and even years. Furthermore, administrative detention orders are based on “classified material” such that the detainee has no way to refute the allegations against them. And the Israeli military can extend the period of administrative detention without limit. The infringement of rights of administrative detainees is exacerbated by the fact that many of them are held inside Israel, in blatant violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits the transfer of inmates outside the occupied territory.

I know Israeli supporters are going to bristle at the source, but the “combatants” include 17 minors and women.
The list of 300 comprises 33 women. The majority of the rest of the names are of boys aged 16-18. However, there are also boys as young as 14 on the list.
Prisoners have been convicted of crimes including carrying and manufacturing knives and daggers. Other common offences detailed in Israel’s list include:
*threatening security *illegally entering Israel without a permit *throwing stones *supporting terrorism *associating with hostile/unknown organisations.
Also noted about minors detained by Israel:
“The main alleged crime for these detentions is stone-throwing, which can carry a 20-year sentence in prison for Palestinian children,” said a report published in July by children’s rights organisation, Save the Children.
Is there really any true justice in an apartheid State?
