I can never forget the time some Israeli lady was interviewed about Gaza in English, mixed up the translation, and said “Their children grow up to be Arabs.”
The important context left out of most western reporting on the region is that in Israel, "terrorist" is a racial slur
60%+ of Israelis surveyed don't thing the abuses of Palestinian prisoners should be investigated.
84% say the IDF should get an excellent or very good grade for *moral conduct*.
62.5% say a 'terrorist' should be murdered even if they don't pose a threat.

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.
I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

Folks, the BDS Twitter account being based out of Ireland isn't a foreign influence op.
Ditto Gazan accounts based outside of Gaza, because a lot of Gazans have fled Gaza.

These guys looked at the failures of Iraq and Afghanistan and concluded the problem was giving a shit what happened after we wrecked everything.
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

If they want to prosecute Mark Kelly in a military court for proposing military personnel follow all lawful orders that should make for very good fun

Joe Biden was dumped as the democratic nominee 4 months out from the general and now deserves to be sin eater for all flaws of the democrstic party, real or imagery
Again, I will die on the lonely hill that the vast majority of Americans, despite everything they said & believed about the economy, showed by their behavior exactly how good/strong it was under Biden. Voters were angry as hell, & spending like mad. Revealed preferences.

Once again, I remind you that this woman cannot be allowed anywhere near the strategy or leadership of the Democratic Party:

Also, stop it with this BS. Biden correctly said the economy in 2024 was good, because it was. Yes, no one believed it. That wasn't his fault.

The thing is that I'm temperamentally agreeable to the idea that you should avoid protesting places of worship altogether or to the best of your ability, but this is qualitatively different from claiming that there's nothing illegal or wrong being done when hosting an org that promotes settlement.
