Concern arises when you look at anyone's posts on social media and comments - people say things they would never say face to face. However, the temperature has undoubtedly risen. Of course, not just here in Australia. We have seen incidents on an international level. Albanese said at a press conference that it is too early to determine the motive for the attack, but he later pointed out that the changed face of social media has increased tensions on the political scene in a country where such violence is extremely rare. #terorizam #Australija #političko_nasilje (translated)

Jan Betlach wrote that three years ago, news circulated worldwide claiming that the Israeli attack on the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza killed over 500 people. He argued that this number was published by the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health just minutes after the explosion, and that the global media disseminated it without verification. Betlach stated that the hospital was hit by a failed Palestinian rocket, which he claimed was likely attributed to the Islamic Jihad by both the Israeli army and Western intelligence services. The rocket reportedly landed in the parking lot of the complex, leaving the hospital building almost untouched; according to him, American intelligence estimated the death toll at around one hundred. Betlach insisted that Israel could not be held responsible for the casualties. He added that Jordan had canceled a summit with Biden in the meantime and that mass anti-Israel demonstrations followed in Arab countries and Western capitals. In Tunisian al-Hamma, he claimed a historic synagogue was set on fire, and in Berlin, Molotov cocktails were thrown at another. He also wrote that the New York Times later admitted to being overly reliant on Hamas's claims, while most media never acknowledged their mistakes. He labeled the report as one of the first sources of hatred against Israel and Jews after October 7, claiming that the media still initially present Hamas's false statements as facts and publish corrections quietly or not at all. #Izrael #Gaza #dezinformace (translated)

Jakub Tepper described six months of pain, inflammation, and fluid accumulation in his knee. As he wrote, the problems began during his stay in Japan, where he walked a lot up and down stairs. In Poland, he visited two physiotherapists and an orthopedist, and also had an MRI done. According to his account, the visits and tests cost him several thousand zlotys in total, and previous treatments provided only short-lived relief. Tepper wrote that during his stay in Japan, he accidentally ended up with a physiotherapist who, after a conversation and brief examination, believed that the problem might stem from pushing the hips forward and improper loading of the legs while walking. The therapist advised him to change the way he placed his feet and went up the stairs, as well as to work on his posture; he also performed massage and stretching. The visit cost 125 zlotys. The author reported that after the meeting, he felt significant relief, and the pain and inflammation almost disappeared. He noted that he did not want to draw categorical conclusions from a single case, but wrote that the Japanese physiotherapist identified the cause of his complaints in just a few minutes. #fizjoterapia #medycyna #zdrowie (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk commented on another interview given by Barbara Mróz-Gorgoń to Onet. He wrote that when asked about the reason for the interview, she replied that she wanted to be able to continue living, and in his opinion, the whole situation resembled a "national tragedy." Kusznieruk ironically suggested that Mróz-Gorgoń could be entrusted with a government project, provided with a salary of 50,000 PLN per month and a company car. He also mentioned Radosław Mróz from TVN24 and his wife Justyna Śliwowska-Mróz from TVP, and wrote that taxpayers could bear the costs of such a solution. #Polska #drama #media (translated)
