I believe in you! I managed to crack a screen and replace it after some consternation. I believe you're at least as able as I am.

Uh yeah, Imma need actual scripture or some quote from a more reliable source than "trust me, bro".

Is this because Denmark's AIPAC analogue can't effectively compromise students?

My sincerest condolences. Watching him sounds like torture.

Yes? You made my point more clearly than I did, but they were the same point.

How involved does one need to be to be complicit?

We can probably agree that the local embassy security staff didn't have a hand in these atrocities, but do the intelligence officers staffed there? The schmoozers working to ensure unwavering US support? The ambassador himself?

Keeping in mind everyone's interpretation of complicity is different, I agree this probably wasn't the best move available, but I won't criticize it further than that.

Representatives of the  Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said: “There is no starvation in Gaza, but the warehouses of the aid organizations are emptying and people are hoarding in homes. We are approaching the red line. We could enter a problematic situation.”

When the branch ostensibly charged with the wellbeing of Palestinians turns a blind eye, I haven't much hope even if PM Netenyahu permits aid deliveries.

Beyond the ethnic cleansing issues everyone already presented:

  • How are you calculating the 'value of the land'?
  • Who deternimes the value and where the new borders are to be drawn?
  • Do family estates get prorated for sentimental and historical value?
  • What is the conversion rate of coastline and maritime claims to arable land?
  • Does Israel get to keep the value of settlements that it already holds either "legally" (per Israeli law) or illegally?
  • Why would Israeli settlers in illegal settlements vacate, and (perhaps more to the point) why would the Israeli state stop backing them when they decided not to leave?
  • Why would Egypt give up control of an excellent defensive border region to a hostile neighbor for a noncontiguous state that would likely be re-occupied by said state before the treaty ink is dry?

It's different because no jury in Israel will convict someone of warcrimes (against Palestinians).

No conviction, no crime. EZ.

Well, since we've got you:

What would be the minimum reasonable distance to use a TOW (with accompanying operator control) vs something unguided (either the TOW or otherwise)?

It's kinda weird that we have to specify CATL as being "China's". A product of traditional American tech hegemony and icy relations with the Chinese, I suppose...

They didn't list a cause of death, so it could be the case that they just shot him to death after starving him for a while.

Not that that's better...

Our Ukrainian editors seem to get the memo:

I mean, the author probably has realistic concerns about their own safety concerning the Israeli public's opinion on the war and their government's attitude towards journalists.

Getting a taste of his own medicine is he?

Ah well, maybe he'll learn someth... lol

I couldn't even finish the thought without laughing.

I'd like to caution against percieving the grass as being greener.

The US is being a shitbird, but do not let that cloud criticism of other countries- their governments are (usually) rarely better.

And nobody treats turncoats particularly well, especially if they don't offer concrete and immediate value beyond 'hostage'.

Far better to agitate where you're at- help your neighbors where and how you can and demonstrate how they're being lied to.

I support the action and thoughts, but doesn't this play into the jingoism already on display and abate any further cultural interaction?

I want there to be a way to hurt the administration while opening the eyes of the decieved population.

Good use of editorial passivity. Ceasefire just "ended", it wasn't broken.

Isn't it still a pump'n'dump? As the Big Cheese, the man can just keep repeating the cycle as long as it suits him.
