I think they meant "don't have it" as in except in special circumstances, and that form says:
> You may use this form to apply for a postal vote if, due to the circumstances of your work/service or your full-time study in the State, you cannot go to your polling station on polling day.
Which seems to indicate that's only for people who can't go to the polling station, otherwise you do have to go there.
Neither of which are around 600 thousand as the previous commenter posted. The French News Channel called France24 did a quick video explaining the current fake news that certain NGOs are spreading with misleading death counts -- https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/truth-or-fake/20250624-...
Saying it's false is a valid argument against something completely ludicrous like 680,000 dead. If you expect everyone to come up with "valid arguments" for blindingly obvious things then it is you who is not carrying out polite conversation (as per your other comments)
It would be a valid argument if you provide evidence for it, such as other commenters here have done. Whereas you just rejected my claim without any argumentation.
I have provided a source for the numbers cited in the original comment. Where those numbers are explained.
Well, these numbers are from July, and from that very first article:
"Official Palestinian tallies of direct deaths in the Gaza war likely undercounted the number of casualties by around 40% in the first nine months of the war as Gaza's healthcare infrastructure unravelled, according to a peer-reviewed study published in The Lancet journal in January."
Still, from those numbers, it seems difficult to stretch from 60k to 600k.
That said, even if you take the absolute tail number, 60k, how anyone can defend a genocide of 60k people in a land area smaller than Portland, in less than a year, is reprehensible. Especially when many of those are children. Almost one child murdered every 10 minutes, at the low end, for an entire year?
Are you surprised I'm being downvoted? I'm working towards my 500 karma so I can also start downvoting obvious nonsense like that comment but publicly correcting nonsense craters your karma.
Not something that is recommended for ordinary bad vision - as it mostly works to treat eye pressure (one particular type of age related vision correction).
So this is interesting. Because Eurovision is of course just citizens, and punishing citizens for the actions of their state is considered racism. And Israel is hardly alone in having a conflict. The same could be said about the many universities.
So do we now get to refuse to hire Afghans because of the Taliban too? Or Turkish citizens? Much the same principle, after all. These countries are at war and purposefully attacking large population groups. Or is this yet another kind of "only Israeli" get this treatment rule?
Of course, in reality just about every muslim country I look up has conflicts with population groups in territory they claim. Morocco in Western Sahara. Algeria with the Tuareg (especially the non-muslim Tuareg). Tunisia is still in civil war and at war with it's own citizens. Libya has been caught driving black immigrants into the desert and abandoning them to die of thirst ... AND is at war with it's own citizens. Egypt and Egyptian Christians. Saudi Arabia is at war with it's own citizens ... Or you can go south, and well all know about Sudan. You can keep going until you arrive at Indonesia, even PNG.
And of course, what makes it truly bad: Palestine is at war with it's own citizens. They're at war with Palestinian Christians (near extinct) or Palestinian Jews, who the Palestinians have hunted to extinction ...
And plenty of non-Muslim countries do this. Russia (obviously, and not just Ukraine) for example, or China (the list is long. Nepal, Uyghurs, Mongols, ...). Myanmar. Thailand. Just about every even lightly authoritarian nation is at war with it's own citizens, either with groups of their own population, or just outright their own citizens (state vs anyone else).
And we haven't even mentioned the more dangerous conflicts and countries like North Korea, or Iran.
But of course, this only applies to Israel and Jews. Even that Palestinians do the same to their own population will not count.
In war, nothing changes until BOTH parties genuinly want peace. Obviously Palestinians (justified or not) do not want peace. So stopping the fighting ... just isn't the solution, it will simply restart.
So now it is justified to boycott muslims in general, and refuse to deal with them, because of what the states they belong to are doing? Glad we got this update.
Lmfao. Israel rigged the Eurovision, and couldn't even do that properly. Hurricane wasn’t even in the top 15 streamed Eurovision songs. Yet they got 323 points from the "public", just behind Croatia.
We see an influx of green accounts like yours created literally hours ago to defend the genocide that Israel is committing and what-about it.
Israel is currently a genocider state. Nazis were a genocider state. It's as simple as that. I am sure there were and still are many nazi-apologists, you are doing the same, but for Israel. Stop the genocide.
>> In all honesty all this thread is people complaining about something they don't have a clue about.
Considering that I saw the same uproar on 4 major travel blogs: Thrifty Traveller (who originally reported this), One Mile at a time, Enilria and View from the Wing.
I'd hardly call it people complaining about something they don't have a clue about.
This pricing practice of charging more for solo travellers is new, deceptive and even travel bloggers who are thought leaders are upset by this.
US engages with its colony in ME, in worst crimes known to international law. Like crimes of aggressive war (in Syria and Yemen), and genocide, aka destruction of a group of people and its society (in Palestine).
Nobody in power in other western countries seems to be batting an eye publicly about it. Yet they bat quite a bit about Uyghur genocide (but not too much either, since EU depends a lot on Chinese trade), etc.
Seems like a free pass, due to wanting that sweet US military HW or "protection", or whatever other sociopathic considerations.
>> He is credited with a powered hop of 11 m (36 ft) made on 18 March 1906
Revisionist History like this fascinates me.
It is very well documented, with written texts, witnesses and even a handful of photographs that the Wright brothers had functional manned aircraft 3 years prior in 1903...
Yet I've personally seen Romanian postal stamps that credit Vuia with "the first flight" for him managing to jump just 11m (36 ft) in a plane.
