How can I monitor her too?

You mean; imagine you were a Palestinian citizen and religious fanatics came into multiple West Bank towns in summer 2023 and set them on fire, and it turns out the Israeli government actively supported the attacks and sent the military to back those settlers and shoot any Palestinians who fought back against the settlers. What would be your response and expectation?

It always amazes me how Israelis act as if October 7 happened completely out of the blue unprovoked. The first 9 months of 2023 was the deadliest year for Palestinians in 20 years with over 240 dead, and the Israeli government refused to prosecute any settlers and instead armed them further. Even the Pope got involved in September 2023 to formally condemn Israeli settlers for vandalizing churches and Ben Gvir defended the attacks saying it was revenge on Christian anti-semitism. Every Palestinian was aware of these attacks, even Hamas threatened to retaliate if the attacks on West Bank towns didn’t stop and Netanyahu decided to do respond by further increasing settler support.

There’s plenty of assassins out there but the secret service does a good job of blocking the public from getting at him. I’m sure he gets many credible death threats and there’s many would-be assassins; they just haven’t gotten close enough to be considered attempts.

“If we end apartheid then it’s the end of South Africa!”

“If we don’t exterminate the Jews then it’s the end of Germany!”

We’ve heard this before.

Much easier to pull out after, and I can leave quicker despite taking slightly longer to pull in.

That’s just the loudest voices, not the majority.

Haiti has a lot of lynchings of suspected gay people. Grenada and Barbados and Dominica still jail people for gay sex with long prison terms.

Instapaper is still going strong.

Apple also has Reading List built into safari and iPhone.

So does the Caribbean and much of the developing world, but like UAE these old laws are still on the books but not enforced. Can you show me an example of death penalty being carried out in UAE for homosexuality in the last few decades?

UAE ≠ Saudi Arabia

This is just plain anti-Arab racism. They’re not all alike. I deeply dislike the Emirati government but you’re not helping.

People don’t really know what to do, except save money, cut back on disposable spending, and watch carefully. Maybe buy some big things early like a laptop or EV now rather than wait for the shock. The big problems are a few weeks to months away.

Democrats are dumb enough to think that the main problem is that Americans won’t elect a woman, and won’t try a third time. Then they’ll find someone conservative and claim this is the only way to win over Republicans.

“Rights are just sooo inconvenient, amirite?”

He keeps talking about making America great, but to do so he’s sacrificing every part of America that was already great. I don’t know what it’s all in service of, what country is he trying to copy?

Maybe Russia, since they don’t have due process and are oligarch-run.

Pandora’s box is opened, and once that happens, it’s almost impossible to close it. I’m going to be honest, the next election cycle, I’ll consider voting for the blue equivalent of Trump. Now that we know presidents can act like kings, it’s time progressives capitalized on that. Why not lock up rightwingers and hatemongers, slap tariffs on oil, and deport Zionists in order to fight Islamophobia?

Unfortunately, yes there’s rightwing Star Wars fans. The GOP even made a video photoshopping DNC leaders at the imperial generals meeting on the Death Star and making Nancy Pelosi the person behind Darth Vader’s mask. They claim the Democrats are the evil empire and that republicans are the rebels.

IBM had a role in the holocaust. Those numbers tattooed on everyone in the concentration camp? Those were IBM ID numbers for the punch cards.

If IBM staff protested about their role, it’s been lost to history. But it’s repeating today with Gaza and the staff who speak out are being demonized. Israel’s Lavender AI is being used to kill civilians. History will prove this woman and the other employees right in the end.

The IDF uses plenty of Microsoft technology including Azure. The details of Lavender are classified.

This type of people exist in every generation, whether forming a mob to enforce segregation or engaging in pogroms.

We’ve known about this disgusting policy for years. It’s a war crime. Anyone who complains about hostages has to condemn this in order to be taken seriously or should shut up forever.
