Kind of like no independent journalists can investigate in Gaza about Israeli-built tunnels under a hospital under IDF control, right?
Okay, so explain this: why would Israel lie about the tunnels? It makes perfect sense that Hamas would operate largely in tunnels including under vital infrastructure, tunnels are used for smuggling in other places around the world, and bringing the IDF into hospitals is a huge headache in terms of PR. So what's in it for Israel?
My understanding is this lie was used by Hamas to isolate Israel from Arab nations where much of the public was frankly horrified by the brutal violence Hamas had aimed specifically at civilians. So no, it wasn't just "the one relatively inconsequential thing," it is a lie that has had serious consequences.
Especially anyone who believes that individuals are less free now than they were historically in the United States. Only the ignorant or biased make that claim.
Listening to how that video was made was awesome. It's so simple and obvious when it's explained to you, even if it's not particularly obvious on its face.
Always a pheasant ride home after that.
FTFY
Noooooo. Animal abuse.
So much this. The Palestinian side has been more or less in stasis politically for what, a decade? Meanwhile Israel moves further and further to the right, constantly indulging their worst right flank including continued land theft. The Republicans in the US indulge Israel without question, while the Democrats question Israel without teeth.
Hamas and Netanyahu need to go as the baseline outcome of this debacle. I'm not sure how Hamas gets removed, or more importantly what takes its place.
The problem with doing that is that people then get more hesitant about putting money into a country. Would you invest in a country if there's a good chance its leadership is just going to do an about face and tax your wealth into nothing? Take your possessions? It's part of the reason why many countries struggle to get foreign investment. Their past has caused businesses to have little faith that investments won't just get nationalized by the government.
Yeah, 200k and DINK. I want to have my taxes raised, just as long as others like me also have have their taxes raised.
Make your bed each morning. Your bedroom will look more organized and you will have a nice bed to lie down in at night.
