    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    Paywalled. But, I said earlier in this thread that there was a lot of posturing going around (UN ceasefire abstention and Bibi public statements) and it's all about Rafah and creating political pressure against Israel by Biden and counter-pressure against Biden by Bibi. US wants a humanitarian...

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    By analogy, there is a difference between a death being accidental, manslaughter or murder. Death is still bad, manslaughter is still a crime, but murder carries more weight and therefore has a higher standard. Accidental, means that it was beyond your control and not your fault. Manslaughter...

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    my suggestion, if you want a very provocative name for this without the legal scrutiny, it would be using the term "massacre" rather than "genocide". Don't need a court case or legal ruling, the meaning is flexible, and it can more or less be used to describe the totality of this and concern...

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    if you look at the Ukraine v Russia genocide allegations, including a declaration sought by Ireland and others... you will see these things move slow and don't go anywhere. https://www.icj-cij.org/index.php/case/182 That case started in Feb 2022 and ended in Feb 2024, no finding of genocide...

    Social Daily Wire vs Steven Crowder

    Only the left can cancel leftists and vice versa. The left's criticism wont land with his audience and most on the left wont pick up on his right wing critics' comments that actually land- - Not letting fellow right wingers compete in same market fearing competition via contract clauses -...

    Social Trump enters top 500 rich list.

    So, essentially, he's extremely rich, it's just that he is not liquid and has everything tied up into giant assets, which would be difficult to sell on short notice. So, if something crazy happens, like losing 500M in personal lawsuits in a few months, he's in a bit of a spot.

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    lol at trusting Bibi's public facing comments. Maybe koya was right about him being able to deftly manipulate Biden and other liberals. edit - found this later in case you think I'm being batshit. Bibi is creating counterpressure on Biden and doing messaging for his base. This is about Rafah...

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    The only result is political cover for the Democratic presidential ticket, to bide them time. I said earlier, per polling, average Americans aren't following the body count nationally, they don't even know which side has killed more, so all they have to do is being seen as 'doing something' and...

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    It's Qatari state funded media and has very slanted coverage. The bleed through of its editorial into its 'journalism' is closer to cable news. It shouldn't be banned, like the Arab countries want, but it shouldn't be taken seriously. It's the country that is harboring Hamas leadership and a...

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    My expectation is that whatever rhetoric you use with the public, should match your public actions. Especially when the difference is immediately apparent. Don't make statements you can't back up. Behind the scenes discussions is another matter. Whether it is the state of the union, or this...

    yes, better than nothing. I acknowledged that in my other posts. But we got people in this thread acting like it's a game changer. The US also abstained during the Obama administration from a resolution declaring the West Bank settlements illegal. It passed. Outside of rhetoric, they haven't...

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    They didn't get 6 weeks. They got 2 weeks - only for the remaining duration of Ramadan. They publicly identified a 6-week time period as a 'need' and the minimum amount, and for it to be immediate. Got a 3rd of that and a month later, and only when internationally dragged to it. It's only...

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war. Vol. VII

    DNC pandering is when in response to public pushback, they take an action that misrepresents their response to the pressure as being more substantive than it is. It's not that they have materially changed their position, just modified their rhetoric in public. "given the scale of suffering in...
