It’s pretty clear that a lot of them are a result of processing and packaging, though I’d be surprised if zero were in the plants themselves.

Yeah, unprocessed foods contain the least, with the notable exception of shrimp, which tend to contain significant amounts.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard it used that way. Only deadly

I don’t think you can use lethal for a metaphorical situation where nobody can actually die. For example “Deadly smile” or “deadly fart”

There are a few examples where there’s a convention around using one or the other, such as ‘lethal dose’ but not too many.

You don’t need to make the cars bigger to meet fuel economy requirements; it’s a decision by vehicle makers to make them bigger rather than take advantage of the more efficient engine designs available to produce a vehicle which uses less fuel.

Total return weakens Israel. Basically because it leaves the country as a fairly narrow strip that’s easily cut apart in an attack.

Getting land in the west Bank returned means significant security concessions from whatever government is left. Last time this was tried it led to Hamas winning an election

Mostly concern that it weakens their position militarily. Get a genuine willingness for peace from a posr-Hamas Palestinain government and some sort of land-for-peace becomes thinkable

Netanyahu looks to lose the next Israeli election. Hamas doesn’t bother holding them

Hamas has been a problem for a long time

If you just send in food, Hamas will take the bulk of it, same way they supplied the tunnels in the first place. Only real way to solve the problem is to get rid of Hamas.

Pretty cynical when Hamas and Islamic Jihad could release the hostages and surrender and end all the fighting instead of giving people a choice over how they die

Hamas is their government, and as such, has a responsibility to those it governs.

And the supplies are literally under the feet of the people who need them. Not something dependent on outside shipment.

Hamas made a decision to start a war, and now they’re choosing to let people suffer for PR points instead of moving supplies up and out of their tunnels to the people.
