They're doing an ethnic cleansing one "settlement" at a time. Israel is only a few gas chambers away from becoming the Nazis themselves. They already put Palestinians into 'ghettos' and are claiming they need lebensraum.
Knowing they can completely fabricate information as they did with Irizarry and face 0 repercussions, I don’t know how we could possibly be expected to believe them. Just waiting for the day they release deep fake video under “this is how our officers perceived the event.”
And that the international community turns a blind eye to. What are we waiting to ask Israel to remove the illegal settlers? Nobody will, because everybody wants to be in good terms with Israel. That’s the sad truth.
The settlements go against any accord or treaty signed previously in search of peace in the region. But with Netanyahu governing Israel, I don’t see them stopping anytime soon.
In my humble opinion, as long as terrorist attacks from Hamas and illegal settlements from Israeli settlers keep occurring, peace in the region is impossible.
That is my issue with the settlements. I defeats why they are occupying the land. If you want to annex it, just say so. Don’t pretend it’s for protection then populate it.
Say what? They're just protecting themselves. It's not like they're just terrorists trying to justify their terrorism, so that the support they receive from the US doesn't get questioned. It's a matter of life or death. existing in peace, or vanishing. Now tell the civilians to move into the cramped camps so we can bomb them the terrorists.
“no” sounds like a solid stance then I guess. These settlements are considered illegal under international law, as they violate the Fourth Geneva Convention. That law which prohibits an occupying power from transferring its civilian population into the territory it occupies. The United States and have expressed concerns, mostly just concerns, the United Nations have passed several resolutions reaffirming their position, mostly in condemnation, but overall the stance from the US has been more lenient towards Israel’s settlement policies.
It certainly seems that these days there is a trend of not acknowledging human rights abuses anymore, it could be seen as late stage capitalism mixed with a deadly cocktail of politics/religion perhaps. This apathy from the west, will not serve humanity well in my opinion.
I mean, we sort of set up this fuck-fest despite Britain telling us it was a bad idea. But we were the Victors of the World™ so clearly we knew what we were doing (clears throat). Kind of like our useless embargo of Cuba, we made a decision and we're sticking with it, no matter how stupid or counterproductive it is, and there's a very vocal portion of the electorate which supports the move (mostly out of spite, which makes them that much more intractable).
Is the current war terrible? Sure. Nobody should be killing civilians or taking the hostage. Is the plight of the Palestinians real? Yeah, it is. Israel has been an absolute menace, because they can.
The embargo on Cuba is stupid at this point. It is more symbolic than anything. I have been to Cuba and it’s exactly what you’d expect a communist country to look like. Everyone is poor, and starving and the police/military are everywhere.
The situation needs to be dealt with once and for all. Either merge the land into Israel and merge the Palestinians in or give them their own country.
This current 'buffer" just doesn’t work anymore. The settlers should be booted out and we should refuse aid until they do.
I am pro-israel but they need to follow the rules like everyone else.
It was opened by a children’s author whose books were banned and she wanted kids to have access to her books and other banned books and let them know that people don’t want them to read them.
I get his point. I’ve seen Barnes and Noble feature banned books at the front of their store. It’s a good thing to have available, but it’s pretty standard for book stores to have banned books.
Barnes and Noble has a mystery lit section and there are still bookstores that specialize in mystery lit that do okay. I don’t think that is necessarily a business ender.
On Sept. 15, 33 of the 35 delivery workers in the area, including non-members of the union, accordingly halted deliveries. The incentives were paid on Sept. 19 through the secondary contractor.
Unions work. If you’re not in a union, join one. If your work place doesn’t have a union, start one. The IWW can help you, search IWW online to find out more, or if you’re in the US:
Trump also proposed digging a water-filled moat and stocking it with snakes and alligators. If he was kidding, his aides didn’t think so, as they sought a cost estimate for the cartoonishly ludicrous proposal. Trump also wanted the wall to be electrified, and topped with spikes that could “pierce human flesh.”
What can we the people do? Can’t we make it custom to leave cold water bottles for UPS drivers on our porches? Those squeezable ice packs? Wet towels, perhaps?
Good ole mass media, telling you something big is going down, and giving you absolutely no clue as to how to get involved.

Billionaires also pledged to fund rebuilding Notre Dame in France and no one paid anything. Almost no one actually paid and it seems the press doesn’t care to see if anything has been paid since 2019: cbsnews.com/…/notre-dame-fire-update-big-donors-d…
