There are risks involved with vaccines. These are usually low and can be mitigated or decreased severely. E.g. don’t run a marathon the same day you get a COVID-19 shot.

Many yacht owners rent them out while they’re not using them as well.

Some excerpts.

The new directives require international NGOs to submit lists of their Palestinian staff, who are then subject to security vetting, and to refrain from any activity deemed to “delegitimize the State of Israel” – a criterion considered vague and politicized by humanitarian workers and diplomats. If vetoed, an NGO loses the right to have international staff in Gaza or to bring in aid – a ban already affecting dozens of organizations whose status has been in limbo since March. Israeli authorities defended the move as a means to exclude any “hostile” actors. NGOs see it as the politicization of humanitarian assistance and a drastic tightening of working conditions.

Of the roughly 100 international NGOs affected by the new procedure, half refused to submit applications, arguing the rules violated humanitarian principles. About 50 others (facing the December 31 deadline) applied for accreditation. Some of them declined to submit their employee lists, fearing how the data might be used.

Save the Children. The NGO filed an appeal, including before Israeli courts, while continuing its work on the ground thanks to more than 300 Palestinian employees, local partners and purchases from the local market

COGAT downplayed the role of NGOs with unresolved status, claiming “the daily volume of aid entering Gaza does not depend on [them], and enforcement of the law will not lead to a future reduction in the scale of humanitarian aid.”

Yet UN staff (apart from UNRWA) are limited in the enclave, and the agencies rely on local NGOs, who serve as the backbone of aid delivery.

The threats of a ban have already claimed one victim: public advocacy. Faced with the risk of being banned, in a context of humanitarian emergency for Gazans, many NGOs are now keeping a low profile or speaking out anonymously.

This is a reaction by Israel to the spread of misinformation by NGO‘s. Prime example are the repeated exaggerated claims of famine, that are then retracted a couple of months later. NGOs also serve to launder misinformation and propaganda from Hamas. You can easily observe this, because they never talk about executions by Hamas or victims of friendly fire, i.e. Palestinians killed by defective Hamas rockets that fall short or the ubiquitous booby traps.

How do you know he’s Muslim? Lots of Arabs are Christian, some non religious.

There are Mercator projection maps with the Americas in the center and Japan on the left edge of the map.

Most maps, regardless of projection used, cut the world through the pacific because there’s barely any land. World maps centering the Americas cut through Central Asia, making them less practical for many applications.

All map projections try to flatten a curved surface. That only works with cuts and distortions. They are all trade-offs between conserving area, angles, shapes, distances. It’s impossible to to all of that.

You should try vibecoding it.

The electric energy needed by the ASDEX Upgrade fusion experiment to power its magnetic field coils and plasma heating facilities is supplied by large flywheel generators. An experimentation pulse in ASDEX Upgrade requires an electric power of 400 megawatts lasting 10 seconds, i.e. half as much as the whole district of Munich. Such an abrupt grid load is not permissible; so the electric energy for ASDEX Upgrade cannot be taken directly from the grid. Instead the flywheel generators gradually take the energy needed from the grid, store it and then pass it on to ASDEX Upgrade in a single pulse.

If Israel attacks Hezbollah in the south, it’s not a breach by Israel, but by Hezbollah. Read the ceasefire agreement.

The ceasefire includes the requirement of Hezbollah completely withdrawing from southern Lebanon and gives Israel the right to attack them, if they don’t. So this is in accordance with the ceasefire deal.

There are Palestinians who don’t like Hamas or its policies. Hamas has been brutally oppressing all opposition since they came to power.

Hamas shoots Palestinian civilians too and blames it on Israel afterwards.

The Yellow Line isn’t imaginary. It’s part of the ceasefire agreement.

The Israeli military confirmed carrying out the attacks in Shujaiya, claiming it targeted individuals who had crossed agreed-upon army deployment lines after issuing warning shots.

How successful was UNIFIL in implementing UNSC resolution 1701? They were an utter failure in stopping Hezbollah from arming and militarizing the south. It’s well documented.

UNIFIL isn’t credible. Before the war they had Hezbollah set up bunkers and positions right next to them and they ignored it.

Really UNIFIL was totally useless over the whole time they were active and failed to do anything regarding their mission.

According to the ceasefire agreement Israel can attack violations of the ceasefire like for example the rebuilding of Hezbollah bunker infrastructure.
