Israel’s ‘violations’ in Gaza make world more dangerous, Norway warns
Low respect for international law and human rights set worrying precedent, international development minister says
Israel is setting a dangerous precedent for international human rights law violations in Gaza that is making the whole world more dangerous, Norway’s international development minister has warned.

The "incident" is a driver using his car as a weapon to attack people for protesting. Because in the U.S. if you yell at cars, drivers will get very upset at you and want to hurt you.

Cutting off humanitarian aid to millions of civilians is a war crime. That is exactly what the extremist Netanyahu government is doing now to Palestinians in Gaza.
I’ve introduced resolutions to block billions in offensive arms sales to Israel & will demand votes on these bills.

My favorite fact about the NYC subway is that there are way more daily riders (about 4 million) than the number of people who fly in the US out of all airports every day (~2.5 million). The scale is hard to get a grasp on.
Max capacity passengers per hour:
* Boring Co’s Vegas Loop: 4,500
* NYC subway 6 train: 105,000
