Even if Florida doesn’t go blue, the fact that it’s this close kinda acts as a barometer for the rest of the country.

When, of course, civil rights has little to nothing to do with it. The current issues with the country in terms of economy, such as rampant inflation, is the result of the very policies conservatives have been extolling for generations. To go back in the manner they want would mean to reduce and revert the impact conservative policies have harmfully built up over the generations.

Yeah, “hit with” has always been bizarre passive voice wording. The executives in charge were the ones who actively decided to lay off people.

I didn’t know the courts could just say “no strike”. Aren’t most strikes by definition going against the rules?

I mean, even if it had done well, I feel like they would still be laying people off anyways, just to pad out their end of year revenue presentations.

Expect this thread to get deleted by the mods, since mine of the same link was deleted just a moment ago. No reason given, but given past history, I presume it’s because it’s not a “mainstream” enough news source for the mods.

West Bank wasn’t an “active war zone” until Israel invaded it the other day. Prior to this, it was just a bunch of Israeli illegal aliens trying to take over the land and attacking the Palestinian civilians living there.

They’re seriously trying to claim that none of the drones actually hit anything and all of the damage we’re seeing (the rather extensive damage) is all just “debris” from them downing the drones.

Sure, Jan, sure.

Israel has described the operation as a strategy to prevent attacks on Israeli civilians, which since the start of the war have increased in the West Bank, including near settlements that the international community largely considers illegal. In return, the Palestinian Health Ministry noted a surge in Palestinian deaths by Israeli forces, with 663 killed in the West Bank in the nearly 11 months since the war began.

In central Gaza, Israeli airstrikes hit a multi-story building housing displaced people in and around Nuseirat, a built-up refugee camp in central Gaza, further south in Khan Younis and northward in Gaza City, officials at hospitals in the three areas said on Saturday morning.

Among the dead were a physician and his family and a child whose right leg had been previously amputated, according to an initial list of casualties from the hospital and footage released on Saturday by civil defense officials who operated under Gaza’s Hamas-run government.

So even Israel’s claimed reason for the attack on West Bank is because of Palestinians defending and retaliating against violent illegals in their country?

The “group of individuals” was the local movement company. They were assisting getting to the destination and there was no evidence that they made any hostile actions. That’s what ANERA says in this article even. So they didn’t admit to any of the made up nonsense that IDF or this Times of Israel article is claiming.

So, they’re not even trying to hide their actions at this point. Doing this in West Bank shows the goal is indeed the ethnic cleansing of the population and forcing them out so the land can be taken. We already know that has been the prerogative for decades, but this is a pretty blatant example.

Haaretz is the only real source of coverage of such opposing voices. And the Israeli government has already been trying to make moves to have them be shut down for daring to not support the will of the government.

There’s definitely people protesting in Israel and have been since the start. But it is indeed unclear on whether they’re protesting regarding their government’s actions in Gaza or just protesting against Netanyahu more generally (which they had also been doing prior to all this anyways).

I honestly feel like if the national powers at the time had been actually serious about the Jewish people deserving a homeland after the horrors of the Holocaust, then Israel should have been created out of a portion of western Germany.

That combined with the “Killology” guy really explains how worthless and barbaric the entire US police system is.

Did you miss the massive protests going on for years when the US was doing the murdering? A bunch of people got arrested back then for daring to stand up to the US government.

We can always do more. One issue with the Uighur situation is China is doing a good job of preventing any info to get out on what they’re doing. If it was more blatant and obvious on the abuses they were doing, there would be more attention on it (like there was back when we did get some info on their activities originally).

We should push the US government to do more on all those subjects.

So you think it’s a fad for people whose relatives are being actively murdered right now? Do you know how dumb that sounds?

So, CNN didn’t actually do any background checking to make sure they were talking to actual undecided group members.

It’s funny that any time he speaks about policies he supposedly supports, we just instantly know that his position is completely vacuous and it’s entirely about how much power and prestige he is given. He doesn’t care about any of the issues, just about himself.

Which makes him a very good match for Trump, I suppose. I wonder if they’ll butt heads because of that.

Do you honestly think Biden or Harris will do much of anything other than the current lip service toward opposing Israel even after Trump loses?

These people are relatives of those the US is actively giving military aid to murder.
