It’s hard to find trustworthy information about Israeli support for the actions of their country in Gaza and the west-bank from 2026, but the numbers that did show up earlier make me sadder everytime. These two article reference the same data, from one year ago. I have no reason to believe Israeli support for the people in Palestine. The small group of people who stand up against war seem to do that mostly because the life of Israeli soldiers (who are conscripted teenagers really). It’s unclear to me how well informed the public is about the scale of the war crimes, but it is obvious to everyone the army purposefully targets non-combatants (children, doctors, journalists, civilians) and in general it seems the public supports that.
A new poll published in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reveals that genocidal rhetoric, once confined to Israel’s extremist settler fringe, has now moved into the mainstream, with overwhelming public support for ethnic cleansing, mass killings, and biblical revenge.
Conducted by the Geocartography Knowledge Group for Penn State University in March 2025, the survey of 1,005 Israeli Jews paints a chilling picture of a society increasingly radicalised by religious nationalism and emboldened by war.

The survey, conducted in March and published by Haaretz newspaper on Thursday, found that 82 percent of Israeli Jews support the forced expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, 47 percent of Israeli Jews answered yes to the question: “Do you support the claim that the [Israeli army] in conquering an enemy city, should act in a manner similar to the way the Israelites did when they conquered Jericho under the leadership of Joshua, ie to kill all its inhabitants?” The reference is to the biblical account of the conquest of Jericho.

Let that headline sink in: Nearly half of Israelis support army killing all Palestinians in Gaza.

Neat, i came here for an alarm clocks but left with a timer. I use the Google clock app because i am still to find something better, but my timers are an infinite lists of random timers because i tend to set a custom one each time i want to use this. Looks like this will fix a very small problem. But also, fuck Google.

My country is too small for domestic flights, might explain the difference in our experience. Here your carry-ons are paying a serious part of their costs, no way they’d let someone take up double or triple the space without asking for money.

I have seen instruments on board but I dont think you can just “take a whole overhead bin” without having permission to take something larger then a normal carry-on with you. I bet they charge you more than double what a normal carry-on would set you back.

In my experience the employees do sometimes value customers. Especially when the place is empty they seem to be happy someone is ordering something and they can do something for 30 sec.

- Comment on Number of trackers and cookies I had to go thru after installing a currency converter app 3 weeks ago:
Personal experience is that 2-3 years ago you had to search for a small hidden line of text and now much more often it is not this kind of shit. Especially this year I feel it’s become more easy to reject cookies. Also the ‘accept our cookies or pay a way too expensive subscription to access our website’ type of pop-upe seem to have vanished. Not saying we’re there yet, and also not saying i know what it is like everywhere in the world.
- Comment on Number of trackers and cookies I had to go thru after installing a currency converter app 3 weeks ago:
Set your vpn to a eu country, more and more websites and apps have a button ‘allow necessary only’ or ‘reject all’. Not sure what the new law exactly asks of them but it feel it working already.

What groups persons would be considered honorific? Only people that work for the government (army, politicians etc)? Esteemed business men too? Nobel price winners? Esteemed scientists? It’s a slippery slope either way. I’d argue that it’s not up to the government to when it is allowed and when it is not, I’d argue every individual and every governmental body gets to decide for themselves.
- Comment on Olive Branch MS mayor refusing to lower flag for Dolly 3 weeks ago:
I might get a lot of downvotes for this, but in a perfectly working democracy “she supported the transgender” can be a legitimate reason not to honor them with a flag at half pole. But usually in a perfectly working democracy the ruling parties dont need a scapegoat, nor would there be much reason to incite so much prejudice that supporting trans rights is a bad thing. But still, i’d argue if a majority doesn’t want trans people to have human rights, the leader of that majority would have a democratically legitimate reason for that bullshit. Not saying that is the right thing, but we can’t only persue democracy if we like the results - if we fifight for it, we should also accept the bad.
