The Guardian view on the children of Gaza: when 17,000 die, it’s more than a mistake:  Editorial
Israel’s military blamed the deaths of six Palestinian children on Sunday on a technical error. But a staggering toll continues to mount
The Guardian/UK, Jul 15, 2025

Sunday, an Israeli strike killed six Palestinian children – and four adults – as they queued for water in a refugee camp. The deaths of children may be the most terrible part of any war. ...

As shocking as Sunday’s deaths were, they are commonplace in Gaza: a classroom-worth of children have been killed each day since the war began. What marked them out was that so many deaths happened at once and publicly; and that Israel’s military felt obliged to acknowledge its responsibility – though without any great contrition. It claimed that a “technical error with the munition” caused it to miss its intended target and added that it “regrets any harm to uninvolved civilians”.

What does this bloodless, bureaucratic language have to do with the bloody deaths of six already traumatised children? These deaths were not a mistake. They were a tragedy – like those of the 10 children killed days before, as they queued outside a clinic. The Israeli military said, again, that it regretted any harm to civilians. And yet the bodies of children pile up. Children killed as they sheltered in former schools; children killed as they fled Israeli forces; children killed as they slept at home.

Gaza’s ministry of health says that more than 17,000 of the 58,000 Palestinians killed are children. Israel says that it seeks to minimise harm to civilians. The death toll belies that and Israeli intelligence sources told reporters last year that at times they were permitted to kill up to 20 civilians to take out even junior militants – with the preference being to attack targets when they were at home, because it was easier.

Christians are repeatedly told to "Judge Rightly" and use "discernment". Some things take a bit to judge, some things like he is peddling don't.

Funny the "judging" part on Chip's behalf seems to have eluded his own radar. False teachers are one of the first things Christians are warned to be on the lookout for.

Americans’ trust in Ivy Leagues is tanking: poll

Voters polled say they want universities to get rid of DEI, ‘advance truth over ideology’

The once epitomized Ivy League institutions of higher education now garner little trust among the American public.

A new poll by the Manhattan Institute found that only 15 percent of voters have a great deal of trust in the elite universities, while 46 percent have little to no trust at all.

Most of those polled said they want to see reforms such as the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion and race-based admissions and programs.

Additionally, 64 percent “support requiring universities to advance truth over ideology by enforcing rigorous academic standards, controlling for academic fraud, requiring preregistration of scientific studies, and basing decisions on merit,” the poll found.

Dropped over the ocean with no parachute (from up high).... no use to continually waste gas flying back to country of origin. Gotta be green now ! Fish gotta eat.

I hope they are gleaned for intelligence before being deported.

I presume they didn't swim to Canada.  Flights and cruises to Canada are not free.  Someone financed their 'vacation', 'studies', or 'work gig' in Canada.

Multiple attempts to enter illegally demonstrates intent and resolve.  People don't travel halfway around the world to blow up stuff without help from an organized network.

Really, this is what Iran choses to do with it's Biden petro-dollars?
