#Breaking Video from Gaza shows thousands of hungry Palestinians defying a constant hail of bullets fired by US and Israeli soldiers supposedly operating a food aid distribution.
Palestinians in Gaza are posting that they are so hungry they would rather die of bullet wounds than of starvation.
They report thousands have been shot at these death camps disguised as "aid" centers.

India's aviation regulator ordered on Monday airlines operating several Boeing models to examine fuel control switches, days after an investigation into last month's Air India plane crash found they were flipped off, starving both engines of fuel.
Indiaโs Directorate General of Civil Aviation stated the directive would apply to Boeing 787 Dreamliners and select Boeing 737 variants and that airlines must complete inspections and submit their findings to the regulator by July 21.
According to the report, cockpit voice recordings captured a moment of confusion between the pilots, with one asking the other why he cut off the fuel.
โThe other pilot responded that he did not do so,โ the report said

Drink in a couple weeks. So far I have only done one batch and I drank it over the course of two weeks. It keeps getting better and better. Plastic Calistoga bottles are what I've been using, they work great and seem to have no flavor.
This is a Finnish drink called sima or maybe simha, made only for May Day celebrations. The recipes for it that I've seen (and made) are all pretty much like this.
I made a batch of this, and it was pretty tasty while young. If you let it sit too long, though, you'll be back to the vomit-smell problem mentioned in the Grapefruit Melomel recipe. Since I'd bottled in grolsch bottles, when that smell hit me, I just slammed the bottle back shut, and put it in the back of the fridge, hoping my roommate would drink it. Found it about six-months later, and the offensive smell had gone, and it was tasty, but bone-dry. The ideal way to drink this is very young, while it's still fermenting, but if you do like I did and forget a bottle, let it age plenty, and it'll be drinkable.
I am just finishing up a novel about the Finnish-America communities in western Washington and Astoria in the early twentieth century. The book mentioned a low-alcohol drink called "sima." I had never heard of it and this is what I just found:
I just found the Wikipedia page (in Finnish) that has some info about it's history.

CNBC reports: "Economists said they expect the full impact from the Trump administrationโs tariff agenda to raise consumer prices more in the months ahead."

Iโm not an expert on these things so are we calling it the Israeli-American genocide of the Palestinian people or the American-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people?
Also, is that fair to Germany?
Is Israeli-American-German genocide of the Palestinian people more precise?
Would that make other EU countries with their own valid contributions to the genocide feel left out?
Thoughts?
