Wouldn't the Israeli hostage being happy also be a point against Israel? Really there's no way to spin this in their favor.

Oh, that explains a lot. I was wondering why a random English name showed up in a Roman history explanation.

You know it's bad when you can't tell whether the words they're saying are Arabic or French.

When Arabs can't understand each other they fall on Standard Arabic to varying degrees, not Egyptian Arabic I think.

Cheese, whatever kind I have on hand (can't afford to get picky with cheese culture basically nonexistent where I live).

It’s not okay but the competition when it comes to hotel comes from a country hosting world’s biggest internment camps in Xinjiang, which, I would say, is worse than taking a cut off hotel bookings in a country that does bad things.

You've got that mixed up. Trip.com pays taxes to China, which is bad, but on the other hand Booking.com actively incentivises ethnic cleansing with its Israeli settlement listings. Benefiting people who are also doing bad things isn't quite as bad as actively helping alone the bad thing. If Trip.com somehow helps the Uighur genocide I'll change my position, but I don't think that's a thing.

First I'm not sure why it's okay if it's a European company profiteering from ethnic cleansing, second Gotogate exists and is Swedish.

Edit: Turns out Gotogate doesn't do hotels.

Have you read the article?

That's definitely a weird oversight, but you can look up "straw hat jolly roger" and you'll find it.

Genocide profiteers who accept Israeli settlement money are assholes, more at 10.

Tbf Batman can get pretty wacky at times.

Creditors, bondholders and preferred stock holders are ahead of them in line.

I can't believe capitalism still keeps surprising me with how fucked up it is.

It's not clear to me if they were actually ownership shares or just options against the possibility of the company going public at some point in the future.

See above.
