Gaza Journal 6: Compassion Theater
What else can we call the warnings from the Israeli government - and from Benjamin Netanyahu himself - for Gazan civilians to seek safety, and the claims it is working to create “safe areas” for civilians to evacuate to, but "Compassion Theater." According the Washington Post, the State of Israel has even said that it has “no https://thetypescript.com/gaza-journal-6-compassion-theater/ #Commentary#GazaJournal#gaza#gazawar#israel#palestine#zionism
What's Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies
From the creator of the wildly popular blog Wait But Why, a fun and fascinating deep dive into what the hell is going on in our strange, unprecedented modern times.
It’d be ironic if arming Israeli civilians, as Netanyahu and his buddies suggested, would make them targets for security forces arriving on the scene of a terror attack…
Turns out #IDF killed the armed civilian who had killed the two terrorists that carried out the shooting attack at the entrance to #Jerusalem.
The civilian was the first to fire at the terrorists, killing them, and the soldiers, who arrived at the scene afterward, thought he was one of the terrorists and killed him.
In a video from the scene of the incident, which was published on social media, the civilian can be seen raising his hands and pleading with the soldiers not to shoot – and afterward being shot and falling to the ground.
#commentary The shooting of Yuval Kastelman was unlawful, did not follow the "rules of engagement" and "the purity of arms". It was immoral. And it would have been true even if he was a terrorist.
[...] Every soldier wants to mark an X," bragged the shooter in an interview on [right-wing] Channel 14, enjoying the moment of glory before the truth was exposed. His photo and name were prominently displayed everywhere under the title "hero." Afterward, the police prohibited publishing his name.
[...] In that same interview, he also recounted that he is a proud "hilltop youth", and in the same breath admitted that when the incident broke out he simply lay down on the floor. Later he pulled himself together, unfortunately. He arrived, apparently, when the incident was already over, and then executed Yuval Kastelman.

Gaza Journal 4: Ground to Dust
I was riding the train to work last week, when a man sat down in the seat next to me, pulled a Talmudic text (Hebrew text within Hebrew text) from his messenger bag and started reading. I was listening to music on my headphones, and had removed my hat, so he could see my yarmulke. I was reading Al-Jazeera on my tablet and, when I took off my headpho https://thetypescript.com/gaza-journal-4-ground-to-dust/ #Commentary#GazaJournal#gaza#gazawar#israel#war
a. It can be learned.
b. You only need basic skills (and probably talent).
c. They won't use their course/subject knowledge anyway.
Requiring XXX years of experience on a relevant position (yet fresh graduates are welcome, too).
Here's a very good example.
It is almost impossible to get an HRM-related / Service-related job because:
a. You did not graduate holding an HRM-related course.
b. You never had a service-related experience or course.
The positions a person is applying for? Some of these are:
— front desk
— bellboy
— housekeeping
There are even those requiring a business-related course and/or experience for those positions.
Let me ask you this: when the HRM industry was new, where did you get your people when HRM-related / service-related college courses were not yet invented?
You looked for people with skills, correct?
And then you trained them, correct?
So, what's with all these requirements?
Let me reveal this to you: the people you did not give a chance to are more likely gems, and more loyal, than those who you accepted because of their school, experience, and educational backgrounds.
It only shows you don't understand people. That your recruitment process and knowledge is very shallow.
Go back to the basics. It is all about skills, not some piece of paper.
Hit me with your best suggestions of #PeerTube channels and instances! I'm building a curated instance with stuff that I like that hopefully others can enjoy too.
