When the British Occupiers left the East Coast we, the Americans, started to build a nation while the shiftless Indians just tried to fight it. We killed them and dispossessed them of their land and civilized them.

Thank goodness we destroyed their ways of life (destruction of the buffalo (olives)). And removing them from their wealth sure made it easy for us to give out our settlers land for free (bought with Indian blood). It also had the side effect of forcing the Indian into our colonial system and they were cheap labor!

There are literally zero parallels here to Israel. I don’t know why I even thought of any of this.

Keep on bombing those children in Gaza!

Going to jail is the compromise solution.

It has been a god send for me. My wife is completely disabled and I’m her caregiver. Having someone else do my groceries and we still get good fresh food has been amazing. It is so much better than six or seven years ago.

I think you’d be more likely to see the court outlaw it entirely the next time than repudiate their bullshit Dobbs decision.

The only way the court will be swayed is if some of the conservative fucks die or congress adds justices to make the court more in line with the public.

Yeah, I mean just because they have something staked on the outcome doesn’t mean that the state of Israel isn’t an apartheid state. I don’t think any state is good, but separating citizens based on race or religion seems pretty fucking evil. And it is worse when you take an indigenous peoples land. As an American, I feel this deeply since we followed this same path dispossessing indigenous people while enslaving Africans. Not great… and I hope we start to rectify those evils sometime soon.

But jews lived next to non Jewish Arabs in Palestine for generations peacefully. And Jewish Arabs lived peacefully all over the Middle East. But the nekba changed those dynamics. Arab Jews are discriminated against in Israel and a lot have been ejected from their old Arab countries. The whole thing of boiling a person down to their ethnicity or religion just is not a great thing.

There needs to be a political settlement soon. Palestinians deserve better and Israelis deserve peace.

I’m not familiar enough with this to answer your question. But I know for sure that Bibi’s brother, Yoni, was a war hero. He died in the line of duty. So it isn’t like they are completely disconnected from war.

And I think a ministers kid was killed in Gaza today.

Khalid is the best.

Gaunts Ghosts is generally considered the best military sci fi in the 40k universe. It is just good military sci fi even without the 40k.

I’d say you’d have to be pretty sociopathic to want to be a cop. But all everything else you described probably polishes up that sociopathy to a fine sheen.

This dude would 100% set off the nukes to get closer to his god on day one.

Who else is going to maintain the status quo?

The journalists are residents of Gaza. They are reporting from their home and dying because of it.
