My wife buys gift cards to restaurants with quality food (usually fast casual without table service) and hands them out to the homeless. We also donate razors, feminine products, etc. to a local house that gets supplies out to the homeless.

If that's your metric, then I think Israel meets it. Iran has sponsored and directed non-state actors in Israel. These include both Hamas and Hezbollah. Additionally, Houthi militants have targeted Israeli civilian shipping.

An official declaration of war is not required. These nuclear scientists are not protected by the Geneva convention because Iranian nuclear infrastructure, including persons, are military targets. The purpose is to destroy Iran's nuclear capacity and that's a purposeful military objective.

Civilian nuclear scientists working in enrichment are not protected by the Geneva convention. Technically it is legal to kill them when engaged in warfare.

Just to play devils advocate, what circumstances is it legitimate for Israel to attack Iran?

He is also banking on the hope that Iran doesn't launch weapons at US bases because he hasn't publicly committed. He will let Iran use-up their weapons vs. Israel before the US commits.

Nearly 800 infant remains found in septic tank at nun-run Irish unwed mother and baby home in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] 52fighters@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you read the scopes article, the number is zero and zero is a great number. "The human remains found by the Commission are not in a sewage tank but in a second structure with 20 chambers..." How did these children die? Were they murdered? Was there a pandemic? Neglect? Famine? Over what time range was this collective grave used?

After the story in Canada that sparked the burning of multiple churches was found out to be entirely false, I'm going to wait for actual facts here.

Scopes reports that the babies were buried in an adjacent structure and that the number is undetermined. An amateur published that number without evidence.

Until additional information is uncovered, it is not possible if the grave was a result of legitimate or initiate reasons.

Looking for a distro that creates users on first boot after installation (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

I've started to collect good computers that are stuck on Windows 10 that are being discarded. I want to put Linux on them and give them away to less fortunate people in need of a computer. It would be easier if user names and passwords were not part of the install process but part of the first boot after installation. What distros should I look at?

Pentagon Prepared Briefing for Musk on Top Secret U.S. Weapons for China War (www.wsj.com)
 

Top Pentagon aides were developing a briefing for Elon Musk last month on more than two dozen highly classified weapons programs for fighting China until the department’s top lawyer intervened, people familiar with the plan said.

Acting Pentagon General Counsel Charles Young learned that a memo being drafted to show Musk contained information on 29 China-related “special access programs,” a designation for the military’s most sensitive secrets, the people said.

How do I request an inactive community on Lemmy? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

I've come across some inactive communities on instances other than mine. A few I've thought would be worth restarting but I'm not sure how this works on Lemmy.

Alternatively, I thought about starting a new community under the same theme and growing a community there but, again, I am not sure if everyone is free to start a community or if it is something that you have to gain approval of your instance first.

Judge holds ICE agent in contempt after he detained suspect during a trial (www.independent.co.uk)
 

An angry judge in Boston is holding a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in contempt after he detained a suspect while the man was on trial.

ICE agent Brian Sullivan detained Wilson Martell-Lebron last week as he was leaving court. But a Boston Municipal Court judge issued a ruling Monday against Sullivan, arguing that he had deprived Martell-Lebron of his rights to due process and a fair trial by taking him into custody.
