Sodastream was always such a strange target. It’s a niche product, and hasn’t been relevant for a decade. Closing their original factory put 100s of Palestinians out of work; it was one of the companies that fostered cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians.

Why not post about a major company like Intel or Apple? They have core products and development in Israel.

It is still a show of good faith and progress. Egypt and Qatar would not put forward a deal that didn’t at least have a reasonable point of negotiation. So far this is the first I’ve heard about Hama’s making a serious ceasefire proposal.

This is a revisionist view that requires ignoring a lot of historical facts. Almost a million Jews were expelled from MENA countries in the 20th century, many of whom survived only by escaping to Israel. The Palestinian Authoriry has never accepted any status for Jews. Christians, Muslims, Druze, yes, but no Jews.

Meanwhile, there are about 2 million Arab citizens (mostly Muslim) of Israel who are entitled to equal rights, including government subsidized Churches and Mosques.

N.H. lawmaker opposes new marriage bill, says teens are of ‘ripe, fertile’ age (www.masslive.com)

“If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option, when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not in fact making abortion a much more desirable alternative, when marriage might be the right solution for some freedom-loving...

How Counterprotesters at U.C.L.A. Provoked Violence, Unchecked for Hours - (NYT Gift Link) (www.nytimes.com)

A New York Times examination of more than 100 videos from clashes at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that violence ebbed and flowed for nearly five hours, mostly with little or no police intervention. The violence had been instigated by dozens of people who are seen in videos counterprotesting the encampment....

It was always just propaganda to discredit the NYT, which is not only the paper of record for the nation, but also has a history of championing high journalistic ethics.

That said, this behavior is heartbreaking and deplorable. It seems clear that this violence was initiated by people who stand opposed to terrorism and in solidarity for the return of hostages. This should never have happened and I hope that those who led this charge are brought to justice.

Gosh, that’s a nice strawman you’ve created.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with protesters refusing to let Jewish students onto their own campus without passing a political purity test, threatening and vandalizing Jewish institutions, desecrating Jewish ritual objects, or appropriating violent language like “intifada.”

Why doesn’t the movement cast out the people who advocate targeting Jews? Why does it celebrate those who advocate violence?

Yes. That’s why there are not chants calling for violence during the pro-Israel demonstrations on campuses.

Edit: Just think about the number of downvotes. All these people believe it’s not true, but no one is posting a video to contradict it. Of all the people who have seen this, no one can show a single example.

How charmingly quaint my good man! I think it will make the perfect bougie addition to my bare hardwood Manhattan flat. I’ll put it just next to the elevator. This must really be how the poor’s live!
