No genocide except by Arabs themselves, like in Syria and the Sudan. Crime in California is out of control, the mayor of Los Angeles just had her residence broken into, the candidate for Senator, Adam Schiff, just had luggage stolen at San Francisco Airport, and a couple of years ago former Senator Barbara Boxer was attack on a street in Oakland, CA. I live in a city where my drug store is about to close because of a lack of policing, made possible by the voters in my State, who now complain about lack of police. We voted for chaos and got it. The police don't make the laws, and they don't even control how they are enforced.

@timc5768 I watched the entire speech, and found him endearing, sometimes self-deprecating, something you guys say he doesn't do, and even saw Schumer laughing and clapping. The only fully stone face I saw was Michael Bloomberg, who has a full case of TDS. Again, this morning he was live for an hour and on to many more campaign stops. His energy beats mine, and I'm only 70. LOL I also thought the interaction with NYC Mayor Adams quite funny, too.
I understand your full emotional disdain, I feel the same about the Clintons. Bill just did a campaign speech for Trump, inadvertently, "they need to be vetted", and even Biden is now working for Trump, kneecapping Kamala on the Hurricane, the port strike, and going on the View pretty much saying he thought he could have beaten Trump. I hope Biden is vindicated. He was the victim of a political coup.

That's true, but in the context he's using that phrase, a phrase common in both sports and academia, it's meant to produce excellence, not killing and street riots, which existed in America prior to Trump being president. Trump is paraphrasing the 5th Century BCE writings of Chinese philosopher, Sun Tzu, titled in translation, "The Art Of War". Lot's of good stuff in it, Trump probably listen to part of the audio book. Lot's of things you can criticize him for, why do all'yall just make stuff up?

@mrt445 False, even if you were a Catholic but had a Jewish grandmother you could end up in the gas chamber, and racial determination was also made by how you looked. Just search "nazi racial charts". Amazing, with all the documentation so easily available, such willful ignorance as yours is still in full flower. Even Polish children were profiled for physical characteristics, if Aryan, they were sent to Germany to be with German families, if not, they ended up in slave labor camps, or worse. PBS just had a documentary about a Polish family who went through the Aryan racial test. Why do you want so strongly to believe otherwise? Mine is not a belief, documented facts abound, and there are people still alive who experienced it, but you want to believe otherwise, why?

BBC "Cherry Picking" again. $400m is peanuts in multi-use development, those of us in RE finance know this, leverage is the power to build buildings, and the debt is in the property, just like a home, if you own one. In America, 20% down means you owe 80%. In commercial real estate, it ranges from 35%-50% down, and the rest is debt. Honestly, regardless of how owns the debt, it is regulated by the laws in the State where the money was lent, and by Federal law, Trump cannot be personally compromised by it, that's just nuts.

@HandgunSafe I received the Sabin polio vaccination in 1961, however, the 1st release of the Salk vaccine caused 40 000 cases of polio, leaving 200 children with varying degrees of paralysis and killing 10. "Cutter Incident". Children got polio, children are not getting SarsCov2. "People", like Biden and Harris who said they would not take a "Trump" vaccine? If you look at Los Angeles County where I live, it's not the political Right unvaccinated, where both White and Asian populations have the highest vaccination rates. I'm a registered Dem, have been since 1973, and consider myself a moderate pushing back on both extremes, but finding FACTS and bundling them into truths has become a difficult task. Mandates are not working, for good and bad reasons, so we must face that and change our public health message.

Joni, I love you, but you are wrong. JRE is not distributing misinformation, but a variety of ideas and opinions not available from corporate media, you should understand that, as you, like me, are from the 1960s. Neil Young was always an @ss, so expected, but not you, say it isn't so?

@Chewy921 I was born and live in California, both my parents were born in California in the early 1920s. My great-grand parents left the Russian Pale of Settlement in the 1880s. Some of my cousins walked from Odessa to Haifa. Odessa is closer to Haifa than much of the Arabian peninsula. Each year my grand-father would make a toast, one made for over 1,000 years, "Next Year In Jerusalem" Jews in Israel are not "foreign", not fake, and were there to greet the first Muslims to enter the city, of course they slaughter them.
In 1948 250,000 Arabs stayed in the new state of Israel, they now number 1.8 million, 21% of the population. They serve in the Knesset, on the Supreme Court and in the IDF. An Arab/Muslim women is a featured newscaster on Israeli TV. Show me the comparable in the region. .

I live in California, too, we are in a La Nina, already record rain and snow in the Sierras, and predicted by NOAA to continue for a cycle of a few years, normal. Weather is not "climate change", and while there's no doubt overall temps increasing around the globe, the models on WEATHER cannot predict what will happen in California, or anywhere else, nor the effect of increased C02 on Redwood and Sequoia growth, which may be substantial, and positive. That's science.

@Sovereign24 I did not say it was "less lethal", I said I hoped it was. I don't know if it will be, do you? The flu is deadly, 12,000–52,000 deaths annually. The yearly flu causes 9 million–41 million illnesses, and 140,000–710,000 hospitalizations. Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year.

@heatherlinnette189 They did NOT live peacefully, that is nonsense. There were pogroms in the Galilee in the 18th Century, 100 years before Russian Zionists started coming in the mid-19th century. Read the story of Safed. The issue was migration, that's funny, and the money which came in during the British Mandate that the Arabs also came for but had little success getting. What "peace" was there in the 1920s between Ibn Saud and Sharif Hussein, or "peace" the Christian Armenians had in Turkey when they fled into Jerusalem in early 20th Century to escape genocide. The Arabs were traitors to the Ottomans in WW1, they fought with the British, and when they didn't like what the British did, they fought with the Nazis, when the Nazis lost, the hooked up with the Soviets and lost again. Choices have consequences.

@marknicholson2281 I never said anything about "support" for Canada? I was making a size comparison with California.
In fiscal year 2021, the federal government provided approximately $143.7 billion to California. This funding supports a wide range of programs and services, including infrastructure, education, healthcare, and public welfare. California gets Tax dollars from Red MAGA states, and the Central Valley of California, along with Eastern and Southern farmland, is MAGA country. We are a representative form of government, not a pure democracy of the tyrannical majority.
Pierre and Donald will work well together, the PM of Alberta, too, she's smart.

@declaringpond2276 I was born in the SFV, both my parents were born in Boyle Heights in the early 1920s, my grandparents came to SoCal in the 1890s with their parents who fled the Russian Empire. My step-mother was instrumental in getting Tom Bradley elected Mayor, and before that we worked together on the McGovern presidential campaign. I never made a "defund" the police claim in my statement, but the current mayor of LA has budget issues which for all intent and purpose is a hiring freeze which she denies, claiming only open positions will just not be filled. I live in LA County, my city has 200+ positions on the police force unfilled and a mayor who allied with "defund" the police activists. My former mayor, now congressman, also onboard with limits to police enforcement in my city. I'm actively involved in my local community, speak directly to officers on duty, and they are demoralized by the administration, the veterans just waiting out their retirement, and tell me how tough it is to hire new, competent, recruits. California also passed a law allowing non-Citizens, and even the undocumented, to be police officers. "California Made It Legal For DACA Immigrants To Work As Police" Sen. Nancy Skinner

@TheRiggz666 UV Catheters are real, Trump was correct, see the provided link. Bleach main ingredient is Sodium-Hypochlorite, used by dentists for 100 years to irrigate after root canal to kill infections, also correct statement by Trump. Why no one fact checks, just assumes a lie, is what is so malevolent, it is conscious ignorance, with the information is so close at hand, it just illustrates your bad faith, and makes me sad. https://www.bioworld.com/articles/434719-uv-light-respiratory-catheter-for-covid-19-from-cedars-sinai-seeking-emergency-use

@ken__2526 "Slowly Claimed"? I believe Jordan declared war on Israel in 1967. I believe Egypt closed a port against UN rules and began sending troops into Sinai for an attack on Israel in 1967. Those Mirage Jets came in handy in Syria, too, the Golan Heights are a necessary defense location and will be kept.
Golda Meir was a Palestinian from 1921 to 1949, her passport said so. She did not maintain that political fiction born of the Mandate. Why take the "cultural name" from the West? The name is not semitic, it is indo-European, assigned to the area by Imperial Rome and kept by another Imperial power, the Ottomans.
Western and "White". I'd check the DNA of the current King and Queen of Jordan, and while you are at it, the 10th Century Caliph of Cordoba, Rahman III, blond hair and red beard.
You comments are straight out of a 20th Century Soviet propaganda book, something Abbas studied at a university in Moscow. It's stale rhetoric.

@NiskaMagnusson All of us sitting in front of a computer or smartphone are getting 2nd hand information. It's difficult to source these days, as both search engines and now AI are heavily biased. I spend way too much time digging deep to find prime sources, then often compare and contrast, like with English al-Jazeera against The Times of Israel.
I have some life experience to tie things together. al-Shifa is no doubt a command and control for Hamas, and Marwan Issa was working out of what was left of it. The IDF got intel on what he was doing and went in, there was a gun battle, Marwan was killed, confirmed by the US State Dept, and perhaps 50 more combatants of unknown affiliation.
Let's see if this action produces results, like greater food distribution in Gaza City.
You know very well this is a PR war for Hamas and Iran. Israel is losing the PR war, but winning on the ground. Which do you suppose will be more effective in the long run?

@Dylan Murphy Add this to your list of Facts, I am with you. Another cause of death, which will be used at the trial, is Excited Delirium Syndrome, one of the symptoms is sudden death, and the transcript shows Officer Lane was concerned Floyd had ExDS, so the use of MRE (Mechanical Restraint) was indicated, and the transcripts show they were attempting to do that prior to EMS arrival. I'm just afraid, because the Media showed such irresponsible reporting, that when the verdict comes in, people are going to be pissed off: https://int.nyt.com/data/documenthelper/7070-exhibit-final07072020/4b81216735f2203a08cb/optimized/full.pdf

markmierzejewski9534 It's the individual's right in that State, not the State itself, as stated in the US Constitution, when it came to ROE. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the wrong constitutional argument was made in Roe.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg believed that the Roe v. Wade decision was based on the wrong argument, and that it would be better to have based it on gender equality instead of a woman's right to privacy.
"Privacy" applies to rights conferred, and in 22 States the fetus has legal rights, too. It's not settled law, and we as a society of civil law need to work it out. When does life get inalienable rights. as stated in the Constitution?
Soon, there will be mass produced artificial wombs that will make life viable at conception outside the gestational parent's body. We as a people will need to deal with that reality. I honestly don't have an answer, but it is a real question. Do we confer the right to life and death to the gestational parent. Maybe we do, so the homicide becomes justifiable. I'll never agree that it is a right, or "healthcare", or something to be celebrated.

@embreis2257 Not snow "I saw", but record snow in those mountains, easy to google. The most recent "devastating wildfire" was the result of poor building codes and electric transmission line failure, not "climate". No question C02 and Methane release an issue, and man made, but the policies being made at the top, and the effort to scare people at the bottom, will, I predict, be counter-productive. Bjorn Lomborg has a good idea. Let's rank prioritize future policies based on analysis, not "feelings".

"strain", I would agree, but why do you paint a broad picture when Asimov did not. Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Cal-Tech, the Mt. Wilson observatory in my hometown, which Hale used to see, for the first time, beyond our Galaxy, occurred here in the U.S. America holds 385 Nobel Prizes, more than any other country on the planet. Your assertion is ridiculous. What Asimov saw as "anti-intellectualism", can also be seen as "skepticism" of so-called "experts" who are often just wrong, something we a living with contemporaneously.

@Sam-bl8vj Sorry, 5th and Main, Skid Row, is less than two miles from East LA and Lincoln Heights, you are talking about my personal history, paternal and maternal, which go back more than 100 years. Grand Central Market is at 3rd and Hill, in the heart of the new downtown, near high-end hotels and museums, two blocks from City Hall. Again, you are incorrect.

Not assassination attempt, this man well-know to authorities, he's an anarchist:
The "sovereign citizens" movement is not a formal organization with a single manifesto, but rather a loose collection of beliefs and ideologies. Generally, adherents claim that they are independent of the authority of the government and legal system, often asserting that they can declare themselves exempt from laws and regulations. Some key tenets include:
1. **Personal Sovereignty**: Belief in individual rights and self-governance, often rejecting government authority.
2. **Misinterpretation of Law**: They often use misinterpretations of legal documents, such as the U.S. Constitution, to justify their beliefs.
3. **Creation of Legal Documents**: Many create their own legal documents to assert their status, such as "affidavits of sovereignty" or "notices of default."
4. **Anti-Government Sentiment**: A general distrust of government and its institutions, viewing them as corrupt or illegitimate.
While some members engage in peaceful advocacy, others have been involved in illegal activities and confrontations with law enforcement. The movement has been associated with various forms of extremism and has been monitored by law enforcement agencies.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) utilizes non-competitive hiring practices to meet certain goals related to inclusion and diversity. Here's how this works:
Schedule A Hiring Authority: The FAA employs this authority to hire individuals with disabilities without the need for competitive procedures. This is part of a broader federal effort to increase the representation of people with disabilities in the workforce. The FAA specifically targets individuals with "severe" or "targeted" disabilities, which include conditions like hearing, vision impairments, missing extremities, various forms of paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism.
Veterans' Preference: The FAA also uses non-competitive hiring for certain veterans, particularly those with service-connected disabilities of 30% or more. This helps in fulfilling goals to support military veterans and increase diversity within the agency.
Direct Hire Authority: While not exclusively for inclusion, this authority allows the FAA to hire quickly for certain positions where there is a critical need or shortage, which can indirectly support diversity by opening up opportunities that might not be as accessible through traditional hiring routes.
On-the-Spot Hiring: For both veterans and individuals with disabilities, some positions allow for immediate hiring if the candidate meets all qualifications, which is part of the FAA's strategy to meet diversity and inclusion goals.
The rationale behind these practices includes:
Meeting Federal Mandates: The FAA, like other federal agencies, is subject to laws like the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which mandates affirmative action for the hiring of individuals with disabilities.
Fostering a Diverse Workforce: By employing non-competitive hiring, the FAA aims to create a workforce that reflects the diversity of the nation, which is seen as beneficial for innovation, problem-solving, and serving a diverse public.
Addressing Underrepresentation: Certain groups, including those with disabilities, have historically been underrepresented in federal employment. Non-competitive hiring helps address these disparities.
However, these practices are managed with an eye toward maintaining the rigorous safety and qualification standards necessary for aviation. Here's how inclusion and safety are balanced:
Qualification Standards: Even under non-competitive hiring, candidates must meet all relevant qualifications for the job. For safety-critical positions, this might mean extensive training, medical evaluations, and other rigorous standards.
Reasonable Accommodations: The FAA provides accommodations where possible to ensure that employees with disabilities can perform their duties, but these accommodations do not compromise safety.
The use of non-competitive hiring practices for inclusion goals has been a point of contention, particularly following incidents like the 2025 crash near Washington D.C., where critics questioned if these practices might affect safety. However, the FAA maintains that all hires, regardless of how they were brought into the agency, must meet the job's qualifications and safety requirements.

@ Math Standards have been dramatically lowered in CA.
Controversial math standard in California for K-12 education was adopted in July 2023 by the California State Board of Education.
Equity and Access: The framework emphasizes making math education more equitable and accessible to all students, particularly those from historically marginalized groups.
Delayed Algebra: One of the most debated aspects is the recommendation to delay Algebra I until 9th grade rather than offering it in 8th grade, which has traditionally been the path for advanced students. This is intended to ensure a more uniform educational experience but has been criticized for potentially holding back gifted students.
Social Justice and Real-World Relevance: The framework incorporates social justice themes into math lessons, making math more relevant to students' lives. This includes using culturally relevant contexts for math problems. Critics see this as an ideological overreach, potentially politicizing education.
Teaching Methods: There's an emphasis on inquiry-based learning, productive struggle, and collaborative problem-solving, which some see as progressive but others view as potentially diluting math education's rigor.
Critics, including many from the academic math community, argue it lowers educational standards and disadvantage students in the long run, particularly those aiming for STEM careers.

@AnnaBeeeeee Similar goals, a Pan-Arab state and a Caliphate are not dissimilar, just different leadership. If I remember correctly, it was a Jihadist rockets that failed and hit al-Shifa Hospital, but Hamas was on the phone with them at the time. Interesting, it's quite possible Jihadist have hostages and why the talks with Hamas are not enough. I'm reminded of TE Lawrence's famous quote "So long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people - greedy, barbarous, and cruel, as you are."
The Third Arab Congress in 1921 made their goals quite clear in a report to Winston Churchill. It's online: "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921"
Answer me this: Is Tel-Aviv occupied Palestinian land?

@gravel7614 Sorry, if that's all you can focus on, that's a problem.
The Mike Pompeo plan in Afghanistan would have kept assets in country to help balance the reality of the Taliban winning the war, which they did, something they could not have done without the will of their own people. The Soviets learned that lesson, as we should have in Vietnam.
"Remain in Mexico" did have issues, Mexico did not handle them well. When you say "asylum seekers" we may have a different definition. Is Mexico a place of danger? Are there any safe places other than Canada and the United States in the Western Hemisphere? Does that mean you would be open to taking the almost half a billion people in those regions in? As far-fetched a question as that is, we need to start the conversation there. Why is Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, Panama, not safe? Guatemala and Nicaragua are failed states, no question, but the others mostly suffering economic conditions.
Perhaps we are guilty of social justice crimes like colonialism and "manifest destiny" so should just open the borders wide and take our justice?
Trump is from Queens, NY. His character is a cultural norm in some parts of that city, and recognizable to those familiar with it. He's also a Real Estate Developer. Although I'm California born and raised, I work in that industry directly with C-Suite execs who lend and build in the 5 Boroughs of NYC. That's how they roll; they are wanna be cowboys always pushing the edges of legality. He's not unique in that way.
Lastly, my vote is less for Trump and more against the DNC and Nancy Pelosi. I'm not alone in that motivation this cycle. She disturbs me more than Trump, so does Obama, who said crap things about Trump in 2011 that motivated Trump to run.

@cohenkhan69 cohen - khan, not equivalent, please explain
Khan (/xɑːn/) is a surname of Turko-Mongol origin, today most commonly found in parts of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Iran. It is derived from the historic title khan, referring to military chief or royalty
The Cohen surname indicates a family descent from Aaron, brother of Moses and the first high priest, from the Hebrew kohen or kohein, meaning "priest."
Aaron spoke for Moses, I'm of that line, not of Khan.

@JoaquinCorreaDrums John is a crazy conspiracy theorist. US AID to Israel comes in many, many forms, including loans, grants, and through the FMF.
U.S. military assistance to Israel, primarily provided through Foreign Military Financing (FMF), often comes with certain conditions and stipulations. These conditions can vary depending on the administration, Congressional directives, and the specific nature of the assistance. Here are some key points about these conditions:
1. **End-Use Monitoring**: The U.S. government requires end-use monitoring to ensure that military equipment provided to Israel is used for its intended purposes and remains under U.S. control.
2. **Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)**: The U.S. and Israel have a long-standing MOU that outlines the terms and conditions of U.S. military aid. The most recent MOU, signed in 2016, is a ten-year agreement providing Israel with $38 billion in military aid. This MOU generally stipulates how the aid should be spent, such as purchasing American-made defense equipment and technology.
3. **Restrictions on Weapon Use**: There are often restrictions on how the weapons and equipment can be used. For example, the U.S. may place limits on the deployment of certain advanced systems or ensure they are not used in ways that could exacerbate regional conflicts.
4. **Human Rights Considerations**: Sometimes, conditions are tied to human rights considerations or international humanitarian law. This means that U.S. assistance can be subject to review based on Israel’s adherence to international norms and standards.
5. **Congressional Oversight**: Congress has a role in overseeing military aid and can impose additional conditions or restrictions through legislation or during the appropriations process.
These conditions are designed to balance support for Israel with broader U.S. interests and values, including promoting stability in the Middle East and ensuring that aid aligns with American foreign policy goals. For the most current and detailed information, it's best to refer to recent Congressional records, official statements, or government reports.

@theophany150 "Money"?, again, you have no idea what you are talking about, as if Trump as an individual has cash he's protecting, not the game he's in, never has been. Freud's nephew did not invent "propaganda", it goes back to the 17th Century and Catholic missionaries who spread Christianity. Propaganda comes from the Latin propagare, meaning to spread or propagate,
Trump did not say he would have rivals murdered, it was a legal speculation by lawyers, so who is now spreading "propaganda"? Obama killed a 16-year old American citizen in a drone attack.
Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki was a 16-year-old United States citizen who was killed by a drone strike on October 14, 2011, under a policy approved by U.S. President Barack Obama. An example of presidential immunity.

@TheWunder I've read the research on this quote, it is not confirmed by him, it is still only from 2nd hand sources. The policies have been complex and nuance, always in the internist of Israel. There are also pressures from allies in this regard.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has faced criticism over Qatar's funding of Gaza, a deal that was approved in 2018 by Israel and which Netanyahu defended at the time². However, he has recently denied accusations that he intentionally bolstered Hamas through greenlighting the Qatari funding³. Netanyahu has vehemently denied allowing Qatar to fund and strengthen the militant group Hamas in order to divide Palestinians into rival political camps, dismissing such claims as "ridiculous"⁴. While there have been debates about the impact of Qatari money on Hamas, it is essential to recognize that the situation is complex and multifaceted. Israeli policy toward both the Palestinian Authority and Hamas has evolved over time, and various governments have taken different approaches¹. Netanyahu has maintained that these actions were part of a broader strategy to maintain calm and prevent a humanitarian crisis⁵. The situation remains contentious, and interpretations vary, but it is clear that Netanyahu's policies have had significant implications for the region.

@jamesbarnes3832 LOLOLOOL
Trump just appointed a Catholic/Zionist to be Ambassador to the UN, an Evangelical Zionist to be Ambassador to Israel, we are seeing conservatives gain support in the EU, and Canada is about to have a new conservative PM. The new President of Mexico is a Lithuanian Jew and Javier Milei of Argentina supports Israel. Trump's son-in-law, a Jew, his own daughter converted to Judaism so Trump's grandkids are Jews, is in business with MBS in Saudi Arabia. The Shia are all but gone and even former HTS terrorist Ahmed al-Shara has become a local populist, not a global jihadist. The Kurds at this point have a better chance of autonomy than UNRWA defined Palestinians. UNRWA is about to be kicked out of the UN, not Israel.
Javier Milei, the President of Argentina, has shown strong support for Israel. During his time in office, he announced plans to move Argentina's embassy to Jerusalem, joining a small group of countries that recognize the city as Israel's capital.
Several countries have recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Here are some of them:
- *United States* (2017)
- *Guatemala* (2018)
- *Honduras* (2019)
- *Kosovo* (2021)
- *Malawi* (2021)
- *Marshall Islands* (2021)
- *Micronesia* (2021)
- *Nauru* (2021)
- *Palau* (2021)
- *Papua New Guinea* (2021)
- *Paraguay* (2021)
- *Russia* (2021)
- *Serbia* (2021)
- *Togo* (2021)
- *Ukraine* (2021)
- *Vanuatu* (2021)
These countries have established diplomatic missions in Jerusalem, recognizing it as Israel's capital.

@ScholarsRest Milton now Cat 3. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment, but Milton is now no longer comparable to the 1921 Hurricane, it's not even close.
My point was to trigger those with an almost religious belief in human caused "climate change" ideology. Vast majority of replies were in that category, not yours. Rapid, accelerated warming has been going on, but the predictions of climate change are on a 50/150 year time scale, not this year, or even 10 years, and the error rate of predictions 100 years out is quite high. How do we plan when the error rate is that high. Should we prioritize now on predictions with an error rate that high, or focus now of issues we can impact right away.
I life Bjorn Lomborg's take on it, although don't always agree with his presentation of data.

@jacobtrost5048 None of these "sides" is allowing for an "independent investigation" while a war is going on.
“Independent investigators must be given the necessary resources, support and access required to conduct prompt, thorough and impartial investigations into crimes allegedly committed by all parties to the conflict,” the experts said, calling on Israel, the Palestinian Authority and the de facto authorities in Gaza to cooperate fully with investigations." - UN
Why do you demand access from Israel but not the other parties involved, like the "de facto authorities" in Gaza
14 June 2007 Hamas took over Gaza from the PA in a military coup and built a military platform to attach Israel. There can be no "independent" investigation without the cooperation of Hamas in Gaza. That is not possible, not during active conflict. Never has been. How can there be an "investigation" when Hamas is firing rockets from Rafah. How safe would that be?
Evidence is being maintained, that is a responsibility. Who is more responsible, Israel or Hamas? Your answer will be a picture of good faith, or not.

@jacobtrost5048 A LACK OF INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
The duty to investigate in situations of armed conflict is implied, but not mentioned directly in international law sources. States tend to rely on their domestic legal frameworks when it is deemed that an investigation is necessary, yet there is little uniformity of practice across states and no agreed international standards by which to assess these domestic procedures. Clearer guidance would appear to be of use in several areas, including: the circumstances that should trigger an investigation, who should carry it out, what its nature should be, the principles that should underpin it, and what an appropriate outcome would be.
IDENTIFYING A SET OF GUIDELINES
This project, initiated in 2014 by the Geneva Academy and joined in 2017 by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), intended to identify, via expert meetings and research, a set of guidelines based on law, policy and good practice that states should apply when they investigate alleged violations of IHL in situations of armed conflict. " - Geneva Academy
While they set forth the "obligation" to investigate, the reality is the cannot while armed conflict is happening, you can't "investigate" a fire-fight or a bombing attack in real-time. I've read the material for the UN and the IHL. Israel is a "pariah" state to these organizations, we can argue if that is valid, but not the fact, so giving access during a conflict when the other side refuses would be against the best interest of the full picture of reality.
The UN just reduced the number of women and children killed by 42%. They've been using Hamas numbers, but now, because armed-conflict has ended in much of Gaza, the truth is coming out. Who lied? Hamas.

@mohamedali2858 Look, it's in the census, and Jews made up between 8-12% of the Region. The author of the Israeli Declaration of Independence was Zvi Berenson, born in Safed, 1907, his family had been there for 100s of years. The ethnic cleansing reduced the population of Jews under the Turks and Arab elites.
1896 Jerusalem Ottoman Census
8,748 Christian
8,560 Muslim
28,112 Jews
45,420 Total
62% Jews
The Arab propaganda add Nablus and Acre in 1878 which reduces the number, but it does not erase the fact Jews never left. You cannot compare the region to SA or say it was a colonializations project. The Temple of Solomon is there, regardless of what Arafat said.
The Taqiyya is a collusion between Pan-Arabism and the KGB project, not Zionism.

@Laythh FALSE: The region was controlled by the Ottoman/Turk who lost a war to the Allied Powers in WW1. Both Jews and Arabs fought with the British in that war. The Turks ceded the region to the Allied Powers in a peace treaty, all legal. The Allied Powers created temporary mandates in the region until modern, nation/states could be created. One was Jordan, another was Israel. Jews were willing to share, the Arabs were not.
Israel did not get "half", Gaza was occupied by Egypt, Jordan annexed the West Bank. It wasn't until both Egypt and Jordan, again, declared war on Israel that the territory came under control by Israel. That wasn't until 1967, What did Egypt and Jordan do for the people in the 20 years between 1947 and 1967?
In the 19th Century Jews were the majority in East Jerusalem, perhaps 8-12% of the Ottoman region called Palestine. They fought and died to free the land from the Ottoman/Turk. Are you saying they don't deserve autonomy in a region which is their homeland?

@Laythh "Useful"? LOL. The Jews fought with the British in WW1 to free the land from the Ottoman /Turk. There were Jewish battalions before the Arabs joined in the fight. "Land" yes, nation/state, no. As I believe you know, the temporary mandate agreed to at San Remo in 1920 was part of The League of Nations plan to create modern, democratic nation/states in the region. This plan had three levels depending on the current state of development in that region. Palestine was at the bottom of that level. LOL The Arab-Revolts you called "resistance", delayed the creation of these modern, nation/states, which were more delayed and complicated by WW2. Further, the Arab-Revolts were not just against the British and Zionist project, but against each other, like the battle for the Hejaz between the Hashemites and the House of Saud. Too bad, a few year later oil was discovered and the leases went to America and not the British. Brits made so many mistakes.
I've studied this for 55 years. I've distilled my thoughts to a concise frame. The Jews and Arabs fought in a war, they both won, the Jews were willing to share, the Arabs were not. Proof? Here it is:
"Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." - Library of Congress.
A quote from the report: "A Jew is a Jew the world over". Pure hate, the blood libel, written in 1921.

You say "much higher levels", when was that, and what did the earth look like then? The variables in you model are not sufficient to predict something in 11 years, let alone 1,000. There is an oscillation to climate, but temps have spiked quicker in the last 50 years than anytime recorded, except perhaps the last time a massive amount of C02 was released by basaltic lava flows a couple hundred million years ago. We are doing it, and there's something we can do about it. The issue is really about who and what, not if we should. Maggie Thatcher, a pure conservative, was the first head of state to sound the alarm about greenhouse gases and global warming, too bad this issue has caused a split, it should be something we can all agree on.

@originaljazzgirl I live in California, and understood what Trump said when you did not. The reporter was asking a "gotcha" question, as THEY always do with Trump, and he answered with sarcasm, not "stupidity". I've lived with the fires since 1955. We live in a fire plain, not unlike a flood plain. The reporter was making assertions that are politically motivated, and I only WISH we could all talk about the science, and rank our priorities without the rhetoric, but we are a long way away from that, and the BBC just contributes to the noise and heat, as do you, more's the pity.

Sounds crazy, put understand the topography of Southern California is grass, light brush and chaparral, the fires run fast and far, but over unpopulated areas, the grass comes back in a year or two, and the brush soon after that, it's a regular cycle. I lived through the 1970 fire season in California when the population was half what it is now, 50 years ago, and we burned 580,000 acres, or 234,717 hectares, and this was before the power lines were put up in Northern California that have been starting so many fires they shut power down in those areas during high winds. California has not cleaned up the debris, we have a large population increase building in fire plains without pragmatic permitting or retrofitting, so it is not unreasonable we've seen that much acreage go up. California has 40 million people, few are directly affected by the fires. Check out the 1970 fires, I was 15, will never forget being surrounded by the inferno. Oh, and two weeks ago, we had a 4.5 earthquake, one of many I've lived through, but listen, I live a block from a beautiful beach and I love it here. BBC loves to exaggerate this stuff: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2020-08-30/california-fires-1970-legacy

Capt777harris Yes, I did downplay your area, which is more wooded, while we are mostly grass and brush. I lived for 10 years in San Francisco, and can remember sitting in an office in West Oakland watching the hills above Caldicot Tunnel go up, and then the entire range, I think it was 1995? I push back on the BBC exaggeration. We build in fire plains, but don't control for it, when the rebuild comes, hope they use these new self-closing attic vents, should help the suburban homes, but the rural areas are another matter. Severe, but not an apocalypse, and we will recover, as before. I was in this one 50 years ago. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2020-08-30/california-fires-1970-legacy

Capt777harris No question, smoke from Bearcat fire here in LA County reached me in Long Beach, 40 miles away, I took a picture of the red sun and dark gray sky at 8am posted to my photo website, and we even had a little ash. I just read about the flare up of the Glass Fire, and Sonoma is a mess, I have friends in Healdsburg. It is different here in SoCal, the fires that rage in the San Gabriels and San Bernardinos end up in unpopulated areas, although, a lot of building going on now, we should have stricter building codes. I won't down play it with you, but our friends across the pond don't have the perspective we do, anymore than we do when something happens in Europe. I've lived in the fire plains, and was at Pine and Front in SF on October 1989. It's nature, not some apocalyptic fantasy. The Tunnel Fire was 1991, but there was another one, because I would not have been in that office, it was Fantasy Records on the border between Oakland and Berkeley, but I now remember the Tunnel Fire, too, you could see it from the Embarcadero in SF where I worked. Hang tough, looks like rain for you next week.

SIX YEARS AGO: "VaquitaCPR, the $5 million last-ditch effort by the Mexican government and conservationists to capture a rare porpoise called the vaquita, will formally announce the end of the project. The team captured two vaquitas: One, a calf, had to be released because it was stressed; the other, an adult female, died before it could be released. Since that death on 5 November, the 67-person team stopped trying to capture this diminutive cetacean. Instead, it has focused on trying to get detailed photographs of the 15 or so animals that still exist in the Gulf of California, their only habitat, so they can keep better track of the animals."

@rasmuslampposselt3564 I registered as a Dem in 1973, but even prior to that I worked on the campaign of George McGovern in 1972. I first voted in 1974 for Jerry Brown to be governor of California. In 1976 my home hosted Dem Presidential candidate Sen Fred Harris and his wife LaDonna, in 1980 mayor Tom Bradley came to a family wedding because we were all Dem workers, I met Maxine Waters, she was just a junior Congresswoman, hate in her eyes even then, I much preferred Yvonne Braithwaite Burke. My step-mom was a delegate to the 1980 democratic convention, the one Kennedy tried to coup Carter, I also met Willie Brown about that time. I'm a Dem, and rattled that off top of my head, easy to fact check the timeline.
The Dem party moved away from reality about 35 years ago, especially here in California when Willie Brown took over the State House Leadership. I lived in Pelosi's district in 1986 when Kamala attended school at Hastings, used to shop with Willie Brown at the Safeway in the Fillmore District.
I did not vote for a King/Dictator, but for active leadership, someone aligned with my nation/state values, and against globalist/socialist elites that hate America and want to see it weak and side-lined. Trump fits that bill for me. I'm about to turn 70, good luck, I'm about to leave the playing field, all yours.

@ralph12d No, this is not about real "babies" but the avowed PR propaganda which exploits the ignorance of some and the willful ignorance of others. People lose children everyday, everywhere in the world.
As of 2024, the infant mortality rate in Great Britain is 3.251 deaths per 1,000 live births.
As of 2024, the infant mortality rate in Jordan is 12.507 deaths per 1,000 live births
No war in Jordan but 3X higher than the UK.
The UN reported in August 165,000 pregnancies in Gaza, I checked. While there are no infant mortality rates listed, 6 out of 1,000 births would not be abnormal.

@CarterKey6 Not sure what you are referring to. Israel is a secular state with civil law, but with some protections for religious law, not just for Jews, but other religions, too. How did the soldier know the age of the boy with the fireworks? Is there a history of children carrying deadly weapons in the area, is there a history of armed and violent resistance? Are Israeli citizens dying on the front lines of the war against Hamas and Jihad?
I'm in California, a childhood friend, a high school football hero, joined the Army in 1969, 81st Airborne, Green Beret, MACV-SOG: Secret Operations in Vietnam. I don't know first hand, but spent many hours with my friend as he unloaded what he and his buddies did during the secret war in Cambodia. I just had my windows replaced by a man who escaped the Killing Fields of Pohl Pot, and right now in Tigray, Ethiopia, children are dying of starvation in the aftermath of a civil war supported by Turkey, Iran, and the UAE. The behavior described in this video, the behavior of both sides in this, is an expression of ubiquitous human behavior.
The 2 Talmuds are not the word of G_d, not what Moses brought down from the mountain. My belief is based on the human responsibility to G_d, yourself, and to other fellow human beings, in that order. The Talmuds, as well as the Sunnas, are frameworks of how to behave in the World. They are aspirational, something to strive for, but something we will never achieve in the frame of this reality.
We are here to "Receive, Transform, and Transmit" That's my belief.

@Chewy921 "Racist"? Here's a RACIST report to Winston Churchill made by the 3rd Arab Congress over one hundred years ago that kicked all this off " Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921."
The Marxist "Woke" are winning the education and PR battle, but will never win the Truth. It was the Arabs who hated the Jews, did not want the migration, and threatened the UK with violence, which they then carried out through the Muslim Brotherhood and people like Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who befriended both Eichmann and Hitler, agreeing to a "final solution" after the Nazis one the war. The Pan-Arab movement then sided with the Soviet Union. Nasser failed, but the lie continues.
European and American leadership know this history, so they will continue to ally with Israel against a traditional and historic enemy. Ibn Saud sold out to America in the 1930s, learn something about that, and the failure of the Hashemites in the Hejaz.

@rosedudesert4389 Anecdotal, the pro-abortionists then and now say as many as 5,000 died each year from back-alley abortions, this turned out to be a "guess" from 1942. After anti-biotics the actual number was perhaps in the two-hundreds. We need perspective and facts, not stories and emotion. Abortion is a medical procedure, of course, and is sometimes indicated, but should be called what it is, murder, as it ends a life. If you kill a pregnant woman, you are charged with a double homicide, our laws should be consistent.

Has for me, water, lights, roads, hospitals, markets, all good, running 24/7, and poverty has been reduced more in the last 50 years than anytime in history, you have it wrong, and why there are no widespread worker revolutions. We, the bourgeois, win again and again, LOL.

The budget for public safety in Los Angeles tends to be high for several reasons:
Size and Population Density: Los Angeles is the second-most populous city in the United States, with a diverse population spread across a large area. Managing public safety in such a densely populated and expansive urban environment requires substantial resources.
Crime Rates: Historically, Los Angeles has faced significant challenges related to crime, including gang activity, drug trafficking, and property crimes. Addressing these issues requires robust law enforcement efforts and investments in crime prevention strategies.
Complexity of Urban Challenges: Large cities like Los Angeles often face a variety of complex urban challenges, including homelessness, mental health crises, and traffic congestion. Public safety agencies are frequently called upon to respond to these issues and provide assistance to vulnerable populations.
Emergency Preparedness: Los Angeles is susceptible to natural disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires, and floods. Ensuring readiness and effective response to emergencies require dedicated resources and investment in emergency management capabilities.
Labor Costs: Public safety personnel, including police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical responders, typically command relatively high salaries and benefits due to the demanding nature of their work and the need for specialized training.
Equipment and Technology: Maintaining modern equipment, vehicles, and technology infrastructure for public safety agencies requires significant ongoing investment to ensure effective operations and response capabilities.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with state and federal regulations, as well as legal settlements related to past incidents or lawsuits, can contribute to the overall cost of public safety services.
Overall, the combination of these factors results in a substantial budget allocation for public safety in Los Angeles to ensure the safety and security of its residents and visitors.

@stephengarner8628 Trump did not say to use these therapies, he said that scientists were working on their efficacies, which was true, but widely reported as false, and laughed at by commentators and late night celebrity hosts. The jokes about them went viral, and are still being repeated without thought, and in bad faith. It is a demonstration of malevolence to repeat them, something meant only to cause pain and suffering in the world. When I see the new-left do this, it gives me pause. I will not support these bad actions. I did not vote for Trump in 2016, but by has actions in the last 4 years, he showed me, that although he lies to the press, and acts the clown and buffoon, his actions align with the promises he made to those who voted from him, which means he has integrity, and of the kind that I respect. He gets my vote on Nov. 3.

@Evan.01 In the context of Islam, a madresa (or *madrasah*) refers to an educational institution, often associated with Islamic religious education. Traditionally, madrasas provide instruction in various subjects, including theology, jurisprudence, Arabic language, and sometimes broader subjects like mathematics and science.
Madrasas can vary widely in their curriculum, governance, and teaching methods. Some focus exclusively on Islamic studies, while others may offer a more comprehensive education that includes secular subjects. In many Muslim communities, madrasas play a crucial role in the education of children and young adults, helping to preserve and transmit Islamic knowledge and values.
While the term itself is neutral, some contemporary discussions may associate madrasas with different ideological leanings, depending on their curriculum and the political context of the region.

@paladinbob1236 False equivalence, the issue predates the holocaust, something Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was involved with, and even celebrated for today.New film out in Egypt. How can it be denied there was a Muslim Waffen SS Brigade in WW2 that al Husseini was involved with, or that Himmler sent him a telegram, all before 1947. It's recorded history, not in dispute.
The UN has reduced the number of women and children killed by 42%. Is the UN a "denier"? Investigation will go on as to what happened, like the rockets that hit al-Shifa first said to be Israeli. Do you believe they were? Right now the ration to combatant to civilian is 1:1. Few conflicts in modern history can claim that.
Again, the promise was made in 1921 by the 3rd Arab Palestine Congress. No Jewish majority nation in the region or else. We have been experiencing the "or else" for over 100 years.
"Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." - Primary Source, not fantasy.

@whistlingchickenleg
(ATC) facilities, controllers often manage more than one position due to staffing needs, operational demands, or facility size.
Radar Facilities: In large TRACONs or en-route centers (ARTCCs), controllers might be responsible for several sectors at once.
These facilities have more complex systems for managing airspace, and combining sectors is a common practice to match staffing with current traffic levels.
More experienced controllers might take on multiple roles, or newer controllers might work under direct supervision while being trained on additional positions.
Safety Protocols: Even when positions are combined, protocols ensure that controllers are not overwhelmed.
Regulatory Oversight: The FAA and international equivalents have guidelines on controller workload to ensure safety isn't compromised. Facilities must maintain a balance between efficiency and safety when deciding to combine or split control positions.
While combining positions is a common practice, it's managed with strict attention to safety, ensuring that controllers have the ability to handle the combined workload effectively. The exact practices can vary significantly based on the specific facility, its traffic patterns, and the capabilities of its controllers.

@troygaines2193 Trump is a liar, a fraud, and an A-Hole, but not an insurrectionist. And even if he were, our system would have not allowed it. Considering the 5-year long "coup" against him by Hillary and the progressive Left, I consider his reaction mild. I believe AG Barr is correct, Trump failed to hire a legal team in advance of the 2020 election to push back legally against Dem tactics in certain states and districts. Trump only has himself to blame for the loss. This does not exonerate my party, they played dirtier than Nixon, Haldeman, and Mitchell ever did, including corrupting the FBI.

@christopherwall2121 I'm not an Israeli, you talk about internal politics of Israel. I won't do that. The preposition that the Likud Party 20 years ago funded the original Hamas organization, when it was a spiritual and humanitarian group, has some validity, but to say that is still true is utter nonsense.
The Right-Wing no doubt is done with a two-State solution, no question, since in 2008 the Arabs again walked away from a deal. When the Arab/Muslims lie to others, to each other, and to themselves, there is no trusted partner for a solution. Arab/Muslims need to take the Jihad inside and look at themselves, not blame everyone else for their problems. We have groups in America who make the same mistake.

@philipjbenjamin "Personal Responsibility", yes, we are not far apart on that, or the power of agency, which the majority gives up in return for safety and social cohesion. It is not a requirement that a Justice be formerly a judge. Kagan never sat on the bench, and we've had non-lawyers on the bench before. The "religious test" was no "enshrinement", it is there as a response to bloody conflicts in Europe which were fresh in the minds of those who wrote the founding documents. Distributed, balanced power, is still our framework, and has withstood many challenges, the one you described is yet another one. I am non secular, but see the "Long March" of the new-left a threat to everyone's freedoms, as you do, and tracking changes in the UK, with its attacks on free speech and personal freedom, is quite disturbing, and why the decline of the BBC is so sad.

@darrenjamrock2677 ? Jordan kicked the PLO out after they fomented a civil war and assassinated their PM. they fled to Lebanon where they do not have civil rights. Jordan restricts the number of Christians in government and academia and is an Islamic state. When a Christian was elected PM of Lebanon, Islamists assassinated him.
20% of Israeli citizens are Arab; some Christians, some Druze, some Muslim. They serve on the Knesset, the Supreme Court and in the IDF. One of the most popular news readers on Israeli TV is an Arab/Muslim/Palestinian woman. Show me the comparable in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon or Syria. Syria has killed more Arabs than any IDF soldier. Look in the mirror.
In WW1 both the Jews and Arabs fought with the British to free the region of the Ottoman/Turk. The Turks ceded the region in a peace treaty with the Allied Powers who were given a temporary mandate to help create new, modern nation/states. One of those was a Palestinian state called Trans-Jordan, which became Jordan in 1946. The Jews were willing to share, the Arabs were not. No land was stolen, that is false.

@ItsArcticVision The Qur'an. Jesus was saved from shedding blood on the cross and submitted to Allah.
Quran, chapter 3, verse 55, also known as sūrat āl ʿim'rān (The Family of Imrān), Allah says to Jesus, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection".
Quran describes the end of Jesus’ existence on Earth. Muslims believe that Jesus was neither killed nor crucified, but was raised alive up to heaven. The Quran states in Chapter 3, verses 52-55: “When God said, ‘Jesus, I will take you to Me and will raise you to Me, and I will purify you of those who do not believe.’”
And in Chapter 4, verse 157: “And because of their saying, ‘We killed the Messiah Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah,’ — but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared so to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts.”
Islam stole the blood of Christ in a deception they brag about.
According to orthodox Muslim theology, God transformed Simon of Cyrene to look exactly like Jesus and have him crucified instead of Jesus, who ascended to heaven without being put on the cross. This is one of the different views that various sects of Islam have on Jesus's death. Ahmadi Muslims, for example, believe that Jesus survived the crucifixion and continued to preach in India until his natural death.

@marieiles8324 We elected a non politician, an amatuer, someone no one expected would, or could win, me included. We were all shocked in 2016. I have since learned two things. 1) The Clinton campaign engaged in dirty politics, the Obama administration was informed, and then colluded with the intelligence community to try and impeach the newly elected President. It was a soft-coup. I think Obama and others really believed Trump was a threat, and were doing their duty, but they broke the law, and violated their oaths of office. 2) I learned that Trump kept his promises to the people who voted for him. He is the same person he was before the election, however flawed, and no matter how many silly lies he tells the press, he has acted on good principals in the world and got a lot of good things accomplished. I never paid attention to Trump the celebrity, did not vote for him in 2016, but my party, the Democrats, have not played fair with him for 4 years, their lies are much more substantial than the fantasies he tells the press, and so I will vote for him in 2020. He is not the monster everyone says, he is no Hitler, a clown, yes, a buffoon at times, yes, but not a clear and present danger to America, or the world.

@gobigoatherd96 i gave no ratio, that was the point, it is not about ratio, but "proportion" to military necessity, that is how it is defined in international law.
Your number of children killed as been halved by the UN.
"The United Nations has begun citing a much lower death toll for women and children in Gaza, acknowledging that it has incomplete information about many of the people killed during Israel's military offensive in the territory.May 15, 2024" - UN News Service
On May 6, the UN published data showing that 34,735 people had reportedly been killed in Gaza, including over 9,500 women and over 14,500 children. On May 8, the UN published data showing 34,844 people had reportedly been killed, including 4,959 women and 7,797 children.
OCHA did not explain its actions

@gobigoatherd96
Israel: Gaza civilian death toll is ‘historically low’ Israel is doing something no other nation ever has, and in a good way. But no one cares, because everyone hates the Jews.
That assessment was corroborated by Maj. (ret.) John Spencer, an expert on urban warfare at the United States Military Academy (West Point). In an in-depth article for Newsweek, Spencer also stated that the IDF had established a new “gold standard” for urban warfare, and lamented that rather than applaud Israel for this effort, the international community was condemning it.
Earlier this week, Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for UN Secretary-General António Guterres, acknowledged that the figures had overcounted the number of women and children killed in the conflict by a staggering 42 percent.
FORTYTWO PERCENT REDUCTION in deaths of women and children, and no APOLOGY from the UN, only the vague excuse, "FOG OF WAR". More double standard.

@lukasz1154 HaHa, Kirk Douglas, blonde hair, blue eyes, a son of European Jews, what "genetic" differences, and whatever they might be, the Germans could not have know about it, DNA had yet to be decoded. The "science" was false, and determination was done by family tree and physical appearance, all they had to go on. Whoopie seems to hold the same bias.

@Tearsofsoil Symbols, yes, but not religious, unless you are using that as metaphor. "Hypnotize", don't see that in the history, either, In the 1920s the largest group to support the Nazis were primary school teachers, who promoted nationalism and collectivism, and helped create the Hitler Youth organizations for both boys and girls. By 1940 there were 8 million members, 10% of Germany's total population. Evil is most often just banal and very human, no need to "hypnotize", when you have so many willing and enthusiastic participants. Hard to tell who is hypnotizing whom.

fran bran The Daily Mail UK, 24 hours after Floyd's death, posted actual images of his arrest record and detailed police reports of his actions in Texas. Took me some time to pull that out of Google, since almost all the SEO was BBC style reporting, we are getting duped and scammed, for sure. We should not have to source all these facts ourselves, and push through the lies of both commission and omission. On Covid-19/SarSv2, I was also feed a link about the new CDC report, and found my way to the actual report. It's difficult reading, but not surprising, NO TRUST, NO PEACE, should be the real mantra of the day. The BBC is complicit, as is my own American NPR/PBS... to safe place in the media to go, SAD.

"Numerous clans, civil society groups and factions - including Hamas's secular political rival Fatah - have stepped in to help provide security for the aid convoys, according to the Palestinian officials and Hamas sources." - Nidal al-Mughrabi
Tue, 19 March 2024 CAIRO (Reuters) This is accompanying photos and video for this story.
On the ground is so much more complicated than what is reported in the PR war. More than two sides in this, to say the least.

@ammertyantey714 I don't know, I'm in America, to the North are Canadians, to the South the former Spanish, in China the Han rule over many lands formerly held by others. Jews are not Palestinian, Jews are indigenous to the land, held a majority in East Jerusalem prior to 1900. Solomon's Temple is a FACT, you can touch the Foundation Stone, the Accession Rock is a religious fantasy about a flying ass. The Qur'an doesn't even mention Jerusalem. Ibn Saud won the Hejaz from the Hashemites, the British Colonial Office then created two colonies, Trans-Jordan and Iraq. Those represent European colonialism, not Israel.

@natenae8635 The conversation on The View was about the book, "Maus", which was specifically about the Sho'ah, Whoopi denied it was about "Race", even pushed back on those who attempted to rebut her assertion. She later went on Colbert and redoubled her slur, stating WW2 in Europe was "White People Killing White People", a slander I've been hearing on the streets for more than 50 years. Search on nazi racial charts, how you LOOKED also determined RACE, and could either save your life, or get you killed. It's so easy to confirm that statement, just a few keystrokes away, try it.

@AH-qh9xw False equivalent. No Israeli law excludes or forces conversion to a religion. However, just like American Naturalization law, new citizens take an oath to support and defend the values of America. Israel is a secular, nation/state, not a religious caliphate.
""I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America". - US Government

@cncit It was also Jewish homeland. Did they not deserve a nation/state after fighting alongside the Allied Powers in WW1? Is that not what the Hashemites did, too, fighting against their Muslim brothers alongside Christians? Many Muslims think those Arabs were traitors.
In the 1900 census Jews were the majority population of East Jerusalem, and about 8-12% of the region. Jews fought with the British at Gallipoli, then established the Jewish Legion with 3 brigades in the war. Again, Jews willing to share, Arabs were not. They told Churchill they would side with Germany next time there was a war, and they did. Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, allied with the Nazis, became friends with Adolf Eichmann, and met with Hitler to discuss his "final solution". There's both photo and film evidence of these facts, even a new movie out in Egypt about it in praise of al-Husseini.
"Displace Palestinians", Jews were Palestinians under the British Mandate, Golda Meir had a passport which said as much.
After WW1 and WW2 there were 100s of millions of people displaced all over the world. An equal number of Jews were displaced in Arab lands like Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, and even India. Why the double standard?
160,000 Arabs stayed in the new nation/state of Israel. They are citizens, serve on the Knesset, the Supreme Court and even in the IDF. Show me the comparable in the region. Jordan is a theocracy, they even limit the number of Christians who can be in government. Again, why the double standard?

@HScarlet What about this is not true? All this was reported by Al-Jazeera and other regional media outlets. Easy to fact check
Events of June 14, 2007:
Hamas fighters took over key security installations and government buildings in Gaza, effectively ousting Fatah officials.
The violence included the execution of Fatah members, with reports of summary killings, throwing individuals off buildings, and public displays of captured Fatah fighters.
President Mahmoud Abbas, aligned with Fatah, responded by declaring a state of emergency, dissolving the unity government, and appointing an emergency government, which was rejected by Hamas.

HMS/Hamas at the beginning professed to be a spiritual and social program for the people. Israel supported that, but after the election, in which Hamas did not get a majority, but entered into a coalition with Fatah, they started a war against Fatah, won, and became dictator, no elections since. You always blame others, never yourself, no self-examination, to consideration for the harm you do. Israel does that, you do not.

@AppraisersOffice I'm in no way part of the radical right, at least by what I imagine your definition is. I am a registered Dem in California. 10Xs the Executive was held by one party and the Senate was held by a different party. NINE of those TEN nominees were rejected by the Senate, just like Garland was rejected. Your complaint is not valid. Trump may lose, but may win, if he holds FL and PA, then wins 2 out of 3 of these, which he won in 2016, WI, MI, NC, he wins a 2nd term. It's razor close, again, which in and of itself is a remarkable accomplishment for Trump.

@AppraisersOffice Just what the polls said 2016, I agree it will be tight this year AZ will be Blue, but he does not need it to win, and he may flip NV. I'm being realistic, he gets FL and PA, with 2 of these 3, WI, MI, NC, he's got it, and the map will look almost exactly like 2016. Just look https://www.270towin.com/maps/bRgO6.png

@AppraisersOffice No, that gif was not the prediction, it was actual. Even though Biden is slightly ahead in popular vote, it still comes down to FL, PA, and 2 of these 3, WI, MI, NC, and not state popular vote, but by county. Just count for yourself. Tight, so tight no one believes we will know the outcome until weeks afterward.

@stephensonjoe No exaggeration, easy to check Cal/Nev Snow Precipitation average already about 200% above the "mean". so is Arizona, and this recent storm has yet to be counted, Let's circle back on April 1st, season end, to see. La Nina ends, so perhaps El Nino to come, the "new normal" we've been hearing about is nonsense, but climate change is not. Funny, I've not heard any news media here in California referring to "climate change" during the storms except for a few weeks ago when Al Gore did a diatribe on "atmospheric rivers" and the end of time, he should grow long hair, a beard, and carry a staff for his Jerimiahs.

@Sam-bl8vj Look at a map, it's easy walking distance, but the "who" doing this can be seen on the streets along the tracks, which are lined with RVs used as homes, there are also tents etc., along the streets that parallel the tracks, you can even see them in the news converge pictures of the tracks. I live near the port of Long Beach/Los Angeles, and the containers are hit here, too. BBC does not do a very good job covering the USA, they used to, but not any more.

@Hamzay-n9s Yes, the intent is in the Hamas charter and even the Qur'an. It's true, some call for a "Greater Israel" just as the other side calls for a "Greater Palestine". It is FALSE that Israel is "growing" in size each year. There are those in Israel who want peace and a two-State solution. Do you trust that aspiration on the part of some Israelis?
Read this, you can google it and read the original online from 1921. "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921."
It's clear Jews have not been welcomed by Arab/Muslims for at least 200 years. That has not changed. Look at the history of the city of Safed.
The majority of Jews in Israel are not European/Ashkenazi, are what some Arabs call "fake Jews", but both old and new Yishuv. The Nobel Prize winning author, John Steinbeck, had family members murdered, raped, and land destroyed by Arabs who hated them being there in 1853, 50 years before the bulk of Zionist immigration began. You can read that online in its original, too.
I'm in California, my parents were born here in the early 1920s, my great-grand parents came to America from the Russian Pale of Settlement in the 1880s. Jews were an oppressed people with no right of citizenship and used as canon fodder by the Russian Army. Some did not fight against the Ottomans in the Crimean War but walked 1,000 miles to Yafo to start new communities. They were not welcome. More's the pity.

@Hamzay-n9s No, as the former head of Hamas recently stated, the killing of Gazans is a cleaver strategy by Hamas and they should keep doing it. Check out the full quote by Khaled Mashal. You can also read what the "Mandela" of Palestine writes, Marwan Barghouti.
The children of the West have been lied to by Marx/Maoists in school, but the truth is coming out and the tide is turning away from the "Oppressed Indigenous" storyline, it's FALSE. Jews are more "indigenous" than what you call Palestinians. That is not even an Arabic word, there is no letter "P" or "P" sound in Arabic. It is an ancient Greek word which at root means "PALE", TO WRESTLE, which is the english translation of ISRAEL, to WRESTLE. Pale(stine, steen) refers to the 2nd Century BCE people and place of Israel, the JEWS. The Arabs stole that, too.

@yoodleyoda6228 I don't disagree, you did. ACB said Roe was not super precedent, which is correct, and an answer Klobuchar would not accept as true, but it is true, and RGB agreed. Whatever you think about abortion, it should be decided by legislation, not the court. That was both ACB and RBG's opinion, and I agree. Klobuchar was way out of line, and breaking down emotionally, when ACB calmly held her ground. She gets my vote.

@shypshyna787 "Happy to be Russians" I will always see as pretext. I'm listening to news media in my country, U.S., and it aligns with our domestic issues, energy costs, military expenditure, and presidential politics. Few know the history of Ukraine and Russia, or care, so BOTS are just not effective. If I asked the average American about nuclear weapons and the Minsk agreement, they'd have no idea. I see Putin's situation, NATO or no NATO, and get it. NATO charter will not allow Ukraine in with this ongoing conflict. The GREAT GAME is not in public view, not at all.

@thecasualfront7432 I'm a native Californian, as are my parents, who were born here 100 years ago. Each state is apportioned delegates based on population, then each state votes with that number of delegates to the Electoral College. Trump lost the popular vote, but was a clear winner in the Electoral College, which again, is apportioned by population. However, each State gets only two Senators, and yes, that's a very good thing, because the Constitution was designed to PROTECT THE MINORITY FROM THE TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY. This fundamental principle of constitutional democracy, majority rule coupled with the protection of minority rights, is embedded in the constitution. All diversity is lost without it.

@dthomas9230 No, I was alive in 1963, been down that rabbit hole. Oswald just another lone wolf, we just experienced two of them again this month. Oswald first shot a general, the Kennedy just happened to come to town. All Oswald.
The CIA was then, as it is now, very bad at covert operations. They failed to get Castro for years.
President John F. Kennedy and Catholic Cardinal Francis Spellman both played significant roles in the early stages of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Kennedy supported Ngo Dinh Diem, the leader of South Vietnam, and significantly increased the number of U.S. military advisors in the country. When Kennedy took office in 1961, there were around 800 U.S. military advisors in Vietnam. By the time of his assassination in 1963, that number had grown to over 16,000

@user-s1o3nr532 Jews wee there in 1900, 1909, 1914, 1918, Several Jewish Brigades fought in WW1 to free the region from the Ottoman Turk. In 1948 seven Arab countries declared war on the new, legal, nation/state of Israel. They won in 1948, 1956, 1967, a draw in 1973 and attempted peace in 1999/2000 with Oslo. The Arabs have never negotiated in good faith, and said so in 1921, more than a quarter century before 1948
"Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921."

@ayubk2638 Taqiyya, since 14 June 2007 there are have been conflicts created by Hamas with death tolls higher than 2023.
2014 Gaza War, Operation Protective Edge, after Hamas kidnapped and murder of 3 children by Hamas affiliated group on the West Bank. IDF went into Gaza, located and neutralized 32 cross-border assault tunnels, and an unconditional ceasefire was agreed to, something Hamas NEVER kept their promise to do. They dug more tunnels and conducted more attacks, the IDF had to "mow the lawn" because of the broken promise by Hamas.
In the 2014 conflict Gaza 2,310 Palestinians killed (70% civilians), with 10,626 wounded.
Don't tell us there were more killed in the first half of 2023 than 2014, Taqiyya.
Not kidnapping and killing children will save Palestinian lives is the message to Hamas, not the IDF.

@ImperialDemocracy Are you saying 750,000 people were turned out of their homes by Israeli guns while the Israelis were fighting a war against 5 Arab nations in 1948, one they were losing until arms arrived from the Czechs? Doesn't seem like a plausible explanation, more like Arab leaders told these families to leave and come back after they won, but they didn't. Again, 130,000 stayed, now number 1.6 million, are 21% of Israeli population, and have shared in bettering the land, much of which was only sand and marsh. Gaza has 24km of Mediterranean Coastline, the world has given Billions to the Gazans, but instead of making the world a better place, they've chosen to use the money to teach their children suffering, death, and to hate the Jews. I've seen the educational material produced by UNRWA schools. It's horrific.

@TheNaturalust Egypt blocaded the Straits of Tiran and moved armor into the Sinai ahead of attack. The brilliant tactical move by the IAF saved Israel from destruction by Egypt and Syria, which was proven to have been planned. Even Jordan has admitted that. Israel did not start the war in 1967. The Pan-Arabist military coup leader of Egypt, Nasser, did.
The Golan Heights is a necessary military territory for defense. Has been for 1,000s of years. LOL. Israel begged Jordan not to attack in 1967, but they did, weakly, and the consequences were occupation, not by Jordan, but Israel. Most didn't want that job, but some extremists took advantage of poor choices by the Jordanians, who themselves were faced with a civil war created by the PLO, who assassinated their PM, Black September, and then kicked them out.
It's time for the Arabs of the region to give up the KGB propaganda of the 1960s. It didn't work.

@TheNaturalust Blockade in Tiran was an act of war, as all blockades of this sort are.
"Nasser remained adamant, and on May 22, after UNEF withdrew, he announced that he would close the Straits. In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower had promised that the United States would treat the closure of the Straits as an act of war." - US Government
You can debate, but my government considered Nasser's blockade an act of war.
I'm in Real Estate, chain of "Title" is a very important aspect of my profession. The last title holder was by the Ottoman Turk. Both Jews and Arabs fought with the British in WW1. The Ottoman Turk ceded TITLE to that region as part of a Peace Treaty. Administrative Mandates were created, which were TEMPORARY, until autonomy was possible in the region. Jews were promised autonomy for being in the fight, were willing to share, the Arabs were not. That's AS RELEVANT as it GETS.
Every "war" since 1948 has that unwillingness to share at its root. The Arabs promised unending war in a report to Churchill in 1921. They've kept their promise.

@Communist-Doge Again, there were two major schools of Judaism at the time of the 2nd Temple. School of Hillel and the School of Shammai. Just like today, people are fluent in more than one language, and in the crossroads of Jerusalem, many languages were spoken and known, especially those Jews steep in Hellenism like Flavius Josephus. The life of the scholar at that time was not some illiterate carpenter in some backwater in the Galilei, which is being shown to be much more of a suburban area than previously thought.
I have no believe in a historical Jesus, but do enjoy the history of the region in that time. The region was very cosmopolitan, in fact, that was one of the reasons the Jews were often in revolt. The leadership was well versed in Hebrew.
Jesus would have read the commentaries in both Hebrew and Aramaic.
Hebrew was used for the Mishnah, while Aramaic was used for the Gemara, the commentary on the Mishnah that together with the Mishnah forms the Talmud
Unless you believe Jesus was just some sort of idiot savant imbued with his own word of god, he would have been bi-lingual. The New Testament is rife with analogs to the Hebrew text. Scholars agree.
Scholars generally agree that the New Testament contains many linguistic terms with origins in the Hebrew language. While the New Testament was written in Koine Greek, it was heavily influenced by Hebrew and Aramaic. This influence is evident in the vocabulary, idioms, and expressions used throughout the New Testament

@Communist-Doge That's conjecture about Jesus, since there is very little if any evidence of his existence, or Moses for that matter. I look at the history of the region, going back to the Akadians, and it's clear this area's language shifted and changed over time. No question Aramaic was dominant in the 1st Century. I live in a very multi-lingual area of Southern California. Some people live here without ever learning English, with Spanish as their primary language. That's human behavior, something that hasn't changed for perhaps 120,000 years.
If you adhere to the biblical Jesus, it's clear he was a scholar, and most likely part of one of the dominant Jewish schools of the time. There's a debate as to which one. My current guess would be House of Shammai but some say the "Lord's Prayer" is more aligned with Hillel.
500 hundred years later the Byzantines and Persians went to war again, Jerusalem being right in the middle of the conflict. Jews migrated South into the Sinai and Negev where a new Abrahamic religion was born. The timeframe is not a coincidence.

Not about "climate deniers" but those who emotionalize climate to modify human behavior based on models with a very high error rate.
Dry high wind shear is disorganizing Milton. Now moving East, storm surge predictions for Tampa Bay have dramatically decreased since winds will come from the East, not West. Cat 3 still big, still dangerous, and is producing tornado cells, but to conflate this with catastrophic, man-made climate change happening now, is nonsense. Milton is not a record, it ranks 5th in the last 100 years.
My ex-wife is in Clearwater FL, just west of Tampa, so I've been monitoring the weather geeks on the storm. They give facts, not emotion.
