Many Holocaust museums include the story of Israel’s founding in 1948, depicting the country as a refuge for Jewish survivors.

The thing about founding a country somewhere with an existing population is that there is no possible peaceful transfer. It will always be complicated because displacing people is inherently violent, and the founding and continued colonization by Israel is no exception.
Yay, a small portion of the taxes that the wealthy like her should have paid over the years that could have gone to the same thing but based on the decisions of society and not dependent on one wealthy person!
Cannon said in her new scheduling order that she will hold a hearing on what had been considered Trump’s longshot request for records from the Biden administration.
The only thing that proves those worries wrong is every single place where marijuana has been legalized and regulated has less crime and more taxes collected through regulated legal sales. So, just reality.
He did continue to say the ‘Central Park 5’ were guilty long after they were exonerated, so it isn’t like he didn’t have opinions about wrongly incarcerated black people. He just had horrible ones.
An Israeli inquiry into the killing of seven aid workers in an air strike in Gaza this week found serious errors and breaches of procedure by the military, with the result that two officers have been dismissed and senior commanders formally reprimanded....
Better be an opt-in feature instead of an opt-out, because I’m tired of needing to turn off new ‘features’ I don’t need that are said to be for something that sounds kind of reasonable but ends up being because they want to track more things and have more control over you.

“I don’t remember most of the details of hectic days on set.”
“He can’t remember anything that happened ever while on the show!” - the news
Hell, I don’t remember most of what happened in high school and barely anything from middle school and prior with zero brain injuries. It is mostly not memorable, and I would expect a job to be pretty similar.
Retired Judge Michael Luttig, a conservative jurist who has nonetheless become a frequent critic of former President Donald Trump, outlined the dangerous game the former president is playing by attacking judges and their families....
Republicans have already delegitimized the legislature and the presidency, so the court system was the last branch to run into the ground. None of it was done by a single man. A single man is the proof that the approach has worked.

Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.
As someone whose circumcision worked out perfectly fine and can’t imagine myself without one, I still think it should be banned for babies and children under 18 for any reason other than medical necessity.
