And people do not simply die of hunger. A healthy human can go about a month without food. Granted, your body will start eating itself, and you’ll be more likely to die to all the other things that can kill in a warzone. But starvation itself takes ages to kill; and will do massive damage to you prior to being lethal.

The problem in Gaza is not a lack of money; or even a lack of food. It is the regional superpower using its overwhelming military support to block food entry and distribution. While explicitly blocking all organizations with a history and track record of successful aid provisioning in challenging war zones. Then replacing it with their own potenkin aid agency as members of their senior leadership talk openly about using starvation as a weapon of war.

Even in the most charitable reading, donations like this do nothing to help on net. Assuming it is not an outright scam, you are just giving this one family some of the limited supply of food in Gaza. That means that you are depriving someone else in Gaza that food; because you did not actually introduce more food; and, one way or another, that food was going to get eaten.

Adding more money to the equation does help fund the gangs running the food black market. I don’t mean to imply that such gangs are responsible for the crisis (they are not), or even that they are inherently bad (in a well run system, profit oriented local groups providing last mile distribution can be helpful). But, in this case, they are at best neutral.

If by “Nazi”, you mean the ~8 million registered members of the Nazi party, then to a first approximation, we left them alone.

And what is the EU going to do about it? Governing bodies can declare extraterritorial laws all they want, but they are meaningless unless they have a way to enforce them.

Russia’s invasion didn’t help, but hasn’t seemed to trigger major proliferation concerns. In particular, Ukraine has no given any indication of pursuing nuclear development as a result. Indeed, doing so would put their much needed military aid at risk. All indications is that other countries that feel threatened by Russia are making similar calculations.

In contrast, Iran pursuing a nuclear strategy is very much on the table. We’ve established that their ability for conventional self defense is woefully inadequate; their proxy network has been severely degraded; and their prospect for a diplomatic solution has been repeatedly undermined.

If Iran does get nukes, that could be a catalyst for others in the region to do so as well.

This has been solved for over a decade. Include a linter and static analysis stage in the build pipeline. No code review until the checkbox goes green (or the developer has a specific argument for why a particular finding is a false positive)

Because ethnonationalism is a coherent ideology.

12 to 15 months is the standard schedule, but if you are concerned about being in a measles hotspot, talk to your pediatrician about an earlier vaccination. The current CDC guidance is for infants between 6 and 11 months to get one dose of the vaccine before international travel [0]. Assuming the mother was vaccinated, young babies will inherit the immunity from her for the first few months of their life.

[0] This is in addition to the standard 2 dose vaccine schedule. So such children will end up with 3 doses instead of the normal 2.

I’m don’t know any ultra-Orthodox but do have several friends/family that keep kosher, and all of them are satisfied with just keeping two sets of dishes (although some just have one set and are satisfied that washing them count).

The disposable dishes, cooking in foil, and such comes up when they visit someone like me who does not maintain a kosher kitchen (and even then, only one family actualy cares enough; but, as I said, they are not ultra Orthodox)

Tolerance, inclusivity, and integration.

To put this into perspective, the legal fact that “everyone”[0] is welcome in a given public school was not established until 1954 with Brown v Board of Education. And segregationists lost there mind over this.

In 1957, president Eisenhower had the 101st airborne division invade Little Rock High School, after Arkansas deployed it’s national guard to block black students from entering.

[0] In terms of race. Restricting access to schools based on home address remains common, and has ended being used as a way to effectively segregate schools without violating Brown.
