Yet you automatically assume that the IDF is executing the elderly and women/children?

The IDF has certainly been reckless and wanton in their bombings and killed many civilians in pursuit of their targets, but the side pointing fingers at the IDF "executing" civilians and dumping them in a mass grave...is the one that executed hundreds of civilians at close range, many while bound and gagged.  So Hamas directly accusing the IDF of doing that is amusing.

Also, that article literally states the UN didn't have evidence to corroborate the story and it was coming from Hamas...which was also unsubstantiated.  There is plenty to criticize Israel about as this continues to drag on without gobbling up Hamas driven hearsay

Yeah, this is where I was coming from and why I thought that article read like a Rorschach test.  I had to read it multiple times to understand what had been substantiated and what was just rumor. If the IDF were executing women and children in cold blood, that would obviously be straight up evil.  But I haven't seen any reason to believe that is happening, nor, for example, that the IDF intentionally targeted the World Central Kitchen convoy (this is a great article on that - https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-aid-workers-killed-2d08786a9839dfc402632c7ca745acca). 

Like you said Wags, Israel needs to be criticized on a number of fronts - insufficient discrimination between Hamas and civilian targets, siege-style warfare leading to starvation, and military forays into areas they had themselves previously designated as civilian retreat zones. But this notion that they are tying up and executing civilians and dumping them in mass graves is dangerous misinformation.

Good news for travelers ...

The Biden administration issued final rules Wednesday to require airlines to automatically issue cash refunds for things like delayed flights and to better disclose fees for baggage or canceling a reservation.

The Transportation Department said airlines will be required to provide automatic cash refunds within a few days for canceled flights and “significant” delays.

Under current regulations, airlines decide how long a delay must last before triggering refunds. The administration is removing that wiggle room by defining a significant delay as lasting at least three hours for domestic flights and six hours for international ones.

Airlines still will be allowed to offer another flight or a travel credit instead, but consumers can reject the offer.

The rule will also apply to refunds of checked-bag fees if the bag isn’t delivered within 12 hours for domestic flights or 15 to 30 hours for international flights. And it will apply to fees for things such as seat selection or an internet connection if the airline fails to provide the service.

This is a terrible idea and will be a disaster.

I dunno man. Women and children execution style doesn’t really ever have a “ends justify the means” level does it?

Anybody know the status of Hunter?

If you had DeShaun Watson as the NFL player most likely the send out a gross (and obviously paid for) tweet extolling the virtues of Saudi Arabia, come collect your prize.

That was hilariously written.  It read like a grade schooler writing a report on his Spring Break trip to Florida.  "I loved going to the beach, and Disney World, and the Rainforest Cafe!"  Ticking off a laundry list of Saudi Pro League clubs was a laughably blatant touch.
