Most of you get your news from social media sharing.
I wouldn’t visit them after, it’s obvious most Americans are okay and happy to sit down and accept this.
Yeah tell that to the people themselves who have spent so much of their life working hard to study at such prestigious institutions to not be able to find the employment they actually want.
They worked hard with the expectation of being rewarded by it with a larger payout later in life. Instead they’re stuck toiling as low wage workers, and have let their families down.
Take me to Zombocom.
These sanctions were a joke.
It was a handful of people targeted who were never going to leave Israel anyway and won’t be that bothered by not having access to American financial institutions.
The person you’re arguing with doesn’t. So apt statement.
Well the last elections had Bernie, so effort was spent on that option for change instead.
Funny how a decent choice of candidate can be the difference between promoting said candidate and promoting not voting at all. Almost like representation matters.
It’s analogous to sanctioning Pvt. Ivan McBlyat but leaving Putin untouched.
If anyone actually cared about these people they had 4 years to do anything for them. There is zero excuse for it taking so long Trump was able to cancel it.
Same shit if you’re Palestinian eh?
But hey glad to know you can live with supporting genocide abroad as long as you’re not bothered at home.
Pelosi: That’s right, we feel morally better to you. Now go die in the street from easily preventable needs because a company lobbied me for you to die.
Nooo, you have to blindly pick a side and act like you’re infallible and the other fallible.
Don’t let up from the culture war, or else you might look to see the class war running everything.

Selection bias no? You’re not exactly going to hear from the innocent person stuck in a jail without representation or due process.
So you’ll trade one innocent life for two?
And who are you to decide who’s lives?
You’re saying this from the luxury of not an over crowded cell because all you did was be outside at the time a government truck pulled over and abducted a group of random people at gun point.
Yes it sounds great to say things when you’re not the one suffering the consequences.

US still believes Iran has not decided to build a nuclear weapon, US officials say
"We assess that the Supreme Leader has not made a decision to resume the nuclear weapons program that Iran suspended in 2003," said the ODNI spokesperson, referring to Iran's leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The intelligence assessment could help explain U.S. opposition to any Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear program in retaliation for a ballistic missile attack that Tehran carried out last week.

It might still be a developmental aircraft. While it’s not uncommon for the Russian air force to deploy test planes to combat zones in order to collect data in a real-world context, it’s a huge setback to a development effort to lose a rare and expensive test plane during combat trials.

Would a recognized Palestine help end the Gaza conflict?
www.dw.com Would a recognized Palestine help end the Gaza conflict? – DW – 02/13/2024
Calls to recognize Palestine as a state are much debated. Advocates say the move would have legal and symbolic power. But critics argue that it won't change the situation on the ground or solve the real problems.
Although Germany does not consider Palestine a country, a majority of the world's states — 139 out of a total of 193 — at the United Nations do. What's significant this time, though, is that recognition is apparently being reconsidered by the US, a country that has previously vetoed almost every attempt to make Palestine a country.
The UK also seems to be thinking about it even though in the past, the country has been just as opposed to the move as the US.
