"The Senate on Wednesday overwhelmingly passed an $886 billion defense bill that would set Pentagon policy and provide a 5.2 percent pay raise for military personnel, defying the demands of hard-right Republicans who had tried and failed to attach a raft of deeply partisan restrictions on abortion, transgender care and diversity initiatives,” the New York Times reports.
“The measure, the result of bipartisan negotiations between the two chambers, has prompted a backlash in the House, where many Republicans are angry at their leaders for agreeing to drop a number of provisions that hard-liners attached over the summer.”
The Israeli ambassador to the UK has rejected the idea of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Meanwhile, Israel has vowed to continue its bombardments in Gaza in the face of wavering international support - despite heavy losses.
Then I suggest you spend $735 for a plane ticket to Cairo. $25 for a bus to Rafah. Probably a hundred to get yourself into Palestine. Hitch a ride to Gaza and see for yourself. Because there is no amount of evidence you can be shown that would convince you.
Tried to be nice and answer a question only to find out that the person wouldn’t believe any proof. If I would have known that to begin with, I wouldn’t have engaged. And if you had read the whole string, you wouldn’t be asking stupid questions. So that makes me think I shouldn’t have written this answer.
People that say nothing at all and let other people spread falsehoods have to live with the consequences of their inaction. That usually includes the embolding of those telling lies and more lies. And gawd help us, someone to believe those lies.
So, you think that saying there are no hostages as he did would not sadden people who are related to the hostages?
I said that there was no negotiation because Israel never cared about it’s hostages and that getting them back wasn’t an actual goal of theirs, not that they don’t exist.
Which is obviously untrue to the facts. Israel was part of the negotiation or a ceasefire wouldn’t have happened.
I could care less what you think when you begin with a lie.
