No, it's essential to the flavor.

Pressure your local government to act against Israel's genocide through sanctions and military support for Palestine. Write your representatives, turn out to protests, help your local political party that aligns with your goals.

You're correct. This is bad reporting.

I should add, knocked down is not put out. Once a fire is knocked down, firefighters go in and overhaul the building, making sure there are no remaining smoldering hotspots that could re-ignite.

Yes, it's very common.

Israel still wants to exterminate Palestinians so that they can fully expand into the area.

Hamas wants Israel to fuck off out of Palestine. Depending on how extreme the individual person, they may also want Israel gone entirely, or the same to all Jews. But that's not the position of most Palestinians.

(The genocide is not the position of most Israelis, either, but enough are okay with it happening.)

He's 92 and has had prostate cancer. I'd be surprised if he was still involved in the day-to-day operation.

What can they do against so many changes in the tech world.

Be involved in their kids' lives? Tech isn't the problem here, any more than it could have been TV, drugs, rock and roll, video games, D&D, or organized religion. Kids get into some dumb shit, just because it's the hot new thing doesn't make it any different.

The kid was armed and pointing it at the cops.

But he also wasn't shooting at them, he was running away. In that scenario, you don't shoot him, because even if he starts shooting he ain't gonna hit shit.

I don't think they actually care about the truth all that much.

The places where automated semis make the most sense, i.e. large, well maintained highways connecting large urban centres, can be better served with automated railways.

On this I agree. For popular, well-defined routes, rail absolutely makes sense, not just for freight, but for passenger transport as well.

Sending people to death camps is not justice.
