  3. Yes, in the USA it seems it has become normal.

  4. Mexico has two problems: the USA and the USA. It is US money that is paying for the illicit narcotics that are being smuggled north, and it is also US guns being smuggled south that helps the gangs survive. Dealing with one while ignoring the other will not work.

  5. The promotion of guns is rationalized in terms of fear of not having one. So now you have a gun, but the fear doesn’t go away. So when you encounter an unexpected situation, one of your first thoughts is to use that gun, just in case. After all, the other person might have a gun, too.

  6. Funny how so many Republicans are getting sick. It’s almost like the Democrats are conspiring with the laws of hygiene to bring them down.

  7.  @jla1977  They are pretty much all American-made, yes. The USA is the easiest place in the world to get hold of guns. Lots of guns. The gun makers are well aware of the illicit traffic, but they turn a blind eye to it, because it’s good for business.

  8. “When Hong Kong demonstrators throw stones at the police in Hong Kong, that’s considered to be heroism in the American press. When in Myanmar, the demonstrators throw slingshots at the ... oppressive army, they’re considered to be heroes in the Western press. When Palestinian kids throw stones at the Israeli solders, they’re called terrorists.” — Gabor Maté, a Holocaust survivor

  10. The old saying is: one side’s “terrorist” is the other side’s “freedom fighter”. Like it or not, terrorism does often work. Various Jewish terrorist groups (like Lehi) did play their part in the lead up to the foundation of Israel. In Northern Ireland, if the IRA hadn’t carried out its campaign of bombings and assassinations, do you think the UK would have bothered to negotiate? And In South Africa, Nelson Mandela was officially a “terrorist”, too.

  11. 1:44 No mention of the fact that France is trying to prohibit any kind of pro-Palestinian demonstration whatsoever.

  14. Let’s hope the guy who supplies them the plans for the tunnel system isn’t the same one who told them Hamas had no imminent plans to attack.

  15. There are already millions of them in Lebanon, Jordan and Syria, in camps like Sabra and Shatila. Remember what happened to them there?

  16.  @marvink7969  Precisely my point. Those calling those kids “terrorists” have no sense of proportion.

  17. What did he state that wasn’t fact? Nobody has denied that Trump has indeed called for the overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution. Is there some other side they should have given weight to? That other than being an insurrectionist, he’s a good family man and supporter of the community or something?

  20. He needs to call off his visit. Now is not the time to be seen to be uncritically condoning Israel’s actions.

  21. People remember fiction more than they remember the truth, don’t they.

  22. 0:22 I recall a break in that blockade when Morsi became the first-ever democratically elected President in Egypt’s history. Of course, that didn’t last.

  23. Trump has led his followers down the black hole of psychosis. For some, it may be that there is no turning back.

  24. Seems like Tzahal is getting cold feet about actually invading Gaza.

  25.  @Ericah81  Punishment should be proportional to the seriousness of the offence.

  26. @@makebelievearchitect That works both ways, then. If Netanyahu’s Government really reflects the will of the Israeli people, then their systematic campaign of abuses against Palestinians has to be blamed on the entire state of Israel. Do you really want to play that game?

  27. Ironically, the reason why the Pennsylvania vote has taken so long is because a Republican-controlled state legislature insisted that early mail-in votes could not be counted before election day. Otherwise the whole count would be done and dusted by now.

  28. Should you bother with a trial?

  29. Let the cops arrest, prosecute and deliver the verdict, “Judge Dredd” style?

  30. I’m curious to know how Texas is coping. Because they stubbornly refused to learn the lessons of their last major freeze.

  31. Unless Trump-Pence pulls a Nixon-Ford maneouvre: Trump resigns, handing the Presidency over to Pence, who issues him a full pardon for any prosecutions that haven’t even been started yet. And so the Lügenführer goes riding, scot-free, off into the sunset.

  32. Their slogan was “a land without a people, for a people without a land”. Just imagine that: “a land without a people”.

  33. Remember that teacher shot by the 6-year-old kid? Should she have shot back, do you think?

  34. If a child is entitled to citizenship from the beginning of its existence, then, for example, visitors to the USA who become pregnant while visiting would be entitled to claim that their foetuses are US citizens.

  36. Let’s face it: how important is the stuff going to be, that the Vice-President gets access to it?

  37. But we keep getting told that no living thing can survive passage through the Van Allen radiation belts. So how are the aliens getting through?

  40.  @pranze3484  Saying “you might as well throw the constitution” is not exactly showing respect for the Constitution, is it?

  41.  @lynk2975  That is from the original quote.

  42. That’s a good question, worthy of someone who cares about the Palestinians, and has no wish to exterminate them and steal their land, don’t you think?

  46. This from a religion which celebrates the slaughter of all the first-born of Egypt.

  47. Mexico has two problems: the USA and the USA. It is the USA that is the source of all this money funding the drug cartels. And it also the USA that is the source of all the guns they use to fight off law enforcement. Addressing just one side of the problem isn’t going to solve it. You need to fix both sides.

  48. The proportional-voting system put in place in 🇩🇪 after WWII was designed to ensure that a dictator could never take power there again. As one of the Occupying Powers, the US had to sign off on that. It was such a good system, we in 🇳🇿 copied it. Don’t you think it’s worth the 🇺🇸 giving it a try?

  50. Al Jazeera’s John Holman did an exposé on the gun-smuggling issue a few years ago. Search for “mexican cartel reveals ease of smuggling guns from US” to find the videos.
