I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".
hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

This plan is a farce, intended to give Israel everything it wants quickly and then manufacture reasons to never give Palestinians anything.
⚡️Must watch:
Netanyahu reveals to Hebrew audiences after the press event where Trump revealed the 20-point plan to end the war on Gaza, that he has no intention of withdrawing Israeli troops from Gaza – “No way, that’s not happening.”
He said:

The US military is already repeatedly following orders to kill boatloads of civilians in the caribbean. I'm not sure what more "following orders" Hegseth could get out of a full huddle of every general & admiral, so my gut instinct is less "big plan to do crimes" and more "stupid business book idea"

If you refuse to endorse the overwhelmingly popular Democratic nominee for mayor of America's largest city, you should not be leading Democrats in the U.S. House
Hakeem Jeffries again declines to endorse Zohran Mamdani, saying "I don't know him well."
CHRIS HAYES: Why are you not endorsing the guy that won the democratic primary in a contested election in your backyard?
JEFFRIES: I didn't get involved in that primary election, and I don't know him well.
