Israelis are burning their hundreds of year old olive trees. This is 100% about taking land, the Hamas attack was just the pretense they needed to get away with it. As soon as I heard about that I sympathized with the victims but then I just felt sadness and dread knowing this would be the result.

I reckon Gaza's dystopia is anything but boring.

This is disgusting. Those poor people. I don't understand why Israel could possibly have this much hatred or why other countries are backing them.

Humans group together and have an "us vs them" mentality. Add religion to the mix and you get this.

This is the result of Settler Colonialism and Dehumanization, Zionism is not Judaism

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Zionism is not Judaism

It's not, but it's undeniable that Israel it's a Jewish state, so religion does play a big part.

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It certainly does play a part in-as-much as a justification by Zionists for an ethnostate. Adi Callai, an Israeli, does a great analysis of how it gets weaponized

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

To be clear, Israel is based in Zionism.

Israel is a Zionist project, historically And currently.

Netanyahu and his orthodox possy (along with their supporters abroad) don't even see them as human.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

orthodox possy

Eg, the US Congress, Biden administration, Harris campaign, Trump campaign.

The genocide ends only when US support ends.

That or genetics. I had almost all grey hair at like 20. My mom had it before she graduated high school

[–] addictedtochaos@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago (3 children)

curly grey hair is vitamin deficency. he will recover once he eats right.

Other factors could also contribute to the greying of hair, including nutrient deficiencies, or medical conditions.

yes.

The sudden greying of the hair in children could be due to high levels of stress, which can lead to the production of free radicals that cause damage to stem cells that produce pigment.

A quick google search also shows that you are wrong about stress not being able to cause gray hair and the article is accurate. Though it disappears when the stress is gone

https://www.cuimc.columbia.edu/news/its-true-stress-does-turn-hair-gray-and-its-reversible

Though the legend is inaccurate—hair that has already grown out of the follicle does not change color—a new study(link is external and opens in a new window) from researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons is the first to offer quantitative evidence linking psychological stress to graying hair in people.

And while it may seem intuitive that stress can accelerate graying, the researchers were surprised to discover that hair color can be restored when stress is eliminated, a finding that contrasts with a recent study in mice that suggested that stressed-induced gray hairs are permanent.

i totally agree with you. but the chance that he is also malnourished anyway is pretty great, given the circumstances. Kids are pretty harcore. he is worrying about his hair, not about the bombs.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago

^ this is precisely it

This is horseshit journalism and not helpful

Spreading disinformation doesn't help these poor kids, it's simply designed to make you angry

Which vitamin is this? I might try getting supplements for myself ಠ_ಠ

[–] addictedtochaos@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

VERY difficult to say. first, you need protein and fat to build various substances anyway, so if oyu short on that, but have vitamins and mierals, it still wont work.

then you could have all the food you need, but be out of vitamins or minerals, then it wont work either.

Medication interaction can be a huge problem.

many vitamins have to do with keratine forming; keratine is like, nails and hair and hard stuff.

you have your hair follicle, lets say hair wise, everything is nice and dandy, but you have anemia, (way less red blood cells)

so oxygen does not get to your hair cell, see?

the problem is, those vitamins do not only one thing, but lots of things - and those things all interact with each other.

so you could be very well be out of several vitamins, that have nothig to to with hair, but this will still impede hair building.

a sure sign is multiple problems apart from the hair problem. like, broken ragged nails, fatty skin, pimples, oily hairy, swollen face, slow wound healing, fair of brushing teeth, candida on tongue. bad eyesight, and so much more.

I started with copper, than vitamin d, then vitamin c, then calcium, then magenisum. the magnesium did the trick a bit better.

once you have an imbalance, it goes bad from there, because of the interaction. for example, if you take magnesium with out calcium, you will deplete your teeth and bones from calcium. (if i remember correctly)

with out copper, iron cant be absorbed.

and so on.

so I guess one straightforward way would be bloodwork.
