  1. I can't even tell who you're referring to. Thats how mixed up the situation is Dealing with hamas is secondary to the real issue of Israel starting to give the Palestinians their land back, with freedoms and autonomy. Hamas can be dealt with in the process or as part as the deal coming with disarming ect

  2. I'm sure she's smart but she seems naive. Surrendering territory is less negotiating and more conceding. But the bigger issue would be that this is the second time Russia has done this with Ukraine. And Russia has done this before I'm general. And we've seen from history that sometimes countries don't stop. I think we should be open to dialogue. And I'm not going to condemn macron because I get what he's saying. Putin has an ego, and perhaps the Russian consciousness does too. But I think our best bet is the hope that the people remove Putin if they can, and the rich, and corporations want to. They can replace him with another oligarch, corporatist, or whatever. As long as it isn't an expansionist that wants to erode their fragile democracy, or what's left of it.

  3.  @MaLiArtworks186  who's they. Because I suspect you believe things from very bad sources.

  4.  @doodlebob3374  nonsense. He's the same president as any other.

  7. no way. You're grossly throwing a blanket on a whole gender and generation. My dad is from that era. he would be the same age as cuomo. And he knew this was wrong. And I knew this was always wrong. This is a very specific type of person. Someone like Trump or cuomo, and even maybe arnold ect. A very specific kind of guy that most guys are not like at all.

  8.  @gumbypokey  All they're doing is giving you information. You have no sense of civic responsibility, and you confuse selfishness and craziness with individualism. You know the disease, you know what we have to do. But like a child with chores, you act cranky, throw a tantrum. It's all been voluntary and you still throw a tantrum. An overly dramatic one based on politics.

  9. Those issues aren't being dealt with for completely unrelated reasons. The two issues have nothing to do with each other. And don't affect each other. Anyway this doesn't gurantee that they'll live in the U.S.

  10.  @stevendebiase8286  what are his politics? A republican/conservative bias is not a good reason for this

  11.  @kirstinstrand6292  I'm not the one using buzzwords, or having a whacked out right wing opinion. It's crazy how all of you can share this opinion but somehow you're the only ones thinking for yourselves. But I stated a fact. He's a president, elected like any other.

  12.  @doodlebob3374  except he's not. You can't point to any policy. He's not with the fascist party. He doesn't even have a specific ideology.

  13. Covid has really bad side effects too.

  14.  @chrisroberts6860  BS. This is the equivalent of a Latin American country trying to take over Spain. Except with over 2,000 more years in-between. for one thing a religion is an awful reason to even create a country. .making any country a Jewish country is already failure at democracy. These people did not live there. They were not part of the national identity. The Jews that stayed, sure that land is theirs. No other Jewish person has a damn claim to it. And they abandoned that country. A land belongs to the people on it. It changes them, and they change it. The Israelis have no ancient claim to this based on religion. None based on any nationality when other nationalities not only always existed there, but even in their stories they arrived there. And then left it. When you abandon a property, it stops being yours. Israel has a right to exist. But it has no claims to any goddamn lands beyond the border that people gave it.

  15. I'm not from there but I can imagine. People don't usually like massive change all at once. And constitutions should be vague or sparse and the rest law. I think I've learned that from the U.S. Like what were the problems, and focus on them. Instead of every problem that exists.

  16.  @troybailey9666  It's about whether you care for others. The problem is your selfishness.

  17. Corporations are becoming first class citizens. I'm worried real people will become second class citizens. Corporate interests are being better represented, and they have the privilege of just telling these politicians what they'll accept and want.

  18. They'll use that to justify being "tough". They're a total right wing government at this point.

  21. It sounds more dangerous to use that any Covid shot so it makes no sense.

  22. there's no earthquake machine. The dominicans declared themselves free twice from Spain. So that's nonsense.

  23. Kids were being put into iron lungs without it. Now it's considered eradicated in the U.S.

  24.  @CeLticFire1251  I think it's cause of the name monkey pox. Monkey or connections with it have kind of been used racistly. But as someone said, it comes from the region. It's existed for awhile regionally before this spread as they talked about. We should chalk it up to this reflecting reality. I saw one person refer to it as something else like mpv or something. That's a possible solution if what I said is the issue.

  25. They aren't the same issue though. I'm for term limits. But it has little do with what's happened. IF it does, it's just a gross over reaction.

  26. I'll still vote for Biden But I think the US is wrong not to pressure Israel to a follow the UN and give them their land.

  27. What's sad is that they're mostly getting the right wingers, the religious fundamentalist, and the wealthy paying people to be there.

  28. ​ @CEB731  more likely you never cared, and whatever excuse is good enough for you

  29.  @troybailey9666  you mean the herd immunity without doing anything. You must not have kept up with them because that was considered a failed experiment even by late 2020

  30. @mayra FPz No she wasn't a white venezuelan, she wasn't venezuelan at all.She was of descent and living in the U.S. You're making retarded generalizations to favour something clearly in the wrong. Obfuscating stupidity or just plain stupidity.That woman would have always been against anything left wing.But her family especially were both rich, and political enemies of who she was talking about. Like the level of ignorance means ignoring everything has happened in multiple countries across multiple decades. Like how can you willfully be that blind.

  31. people don't seem to understand that free association is also independence. But it's fair to say it might split the independence vote. So perhaps it shouldn't be voted on. Instead it should be whether people want independence first, and a note saying that whether it's fully or free association will be determined later. It really is important for the messaging to be clear and all doubts removed. Those types of questions can be notoriously tricky, depending on wording. Edit: Or free association and independence should be counted together. And then a second vote, perhaps within the same ballot, which is preferred. Or go with whatever of the two gets the most votes if the two options together surpass statehood.

  32.  @krisdadon6753  we're not even talking about the people in the U.S anyway.

  33. This guy is being an idiot. So what, what are you going to do about it now. A history lesson won't help. US has pumped lots of aid as well. So what. He's looking for excuses instead of solutions. The word intervention has gotten a bad wrap but it's a neutral word. It's bad when it's unethical. But helping an allied government that asks for help shouldn't be put under the same category as a random invasion. How does this solve a junta taking a civilian government. He's calling for the support of fascism and dictatorship.

  34. Haiti asked for this. Democracy now seems to always be against everything, and take the opposite position. The situation there is terrible. And they need help.

  35. CitizenZero supports military coups and the U.S over throwing democratic countries. It's good to admit to yourself that you have no morals, and hate democracy. Bolivia's court are by popular election. And He went through the legal system. Though I'm in favour of term limits, and that he should have merely sponsored or supported someone, he did things by the book.

  36. We need to forgive nations if they change. Look at Germany. But they do have to change

  37. Wouldn't you say that they're a health risk to people/patients who are at their most vulnerable
    2
  38.  @librafever4471  because that's what their job is. The right to put hospital patients at risk? That's ridiculous. Why not make unlicensed doctors be allowed to work. Or drunk people. there's near zero risk to someone's life from the vac. The virus has a much higher chance. There's been like one death with one vaccine. From a blood clot condition that people are now aware of. But more importantly it's very infectious, and spreads easily. Patients at hospitals are some of the most vulnerable to the greatest affects of Covid, including death. It makes no sense to allow them in a hospital or caretaking at home of the elderl, if they're just refusing the vaccine over someone vaccinated
    2
  39. Two unrelated issues. If anything the vaccine has been socialized
    2
  40.  @thomascross8339  and I'm for releasing the patents and I'm sure you non vaxxers would be against it. But it doesn't change that this is global and we need vaccines.
    2
  41.  @troybailey9666  we've been outcrying the whole damn time about it. You people don't. What a bad faith argument you people have. This is truly sick. You pretend to care as a way to deny medicine during a crisis.
    2
  42.  @thomascross8339  and I told you that's a bad faith argument because this is free healthcare and you somehow don't see the priority. It's an assumption but it really is anti vaxxers that are probably also against universal healthcare. The argument makes no sense.
    2
  43.  @troybailey9666  It doesn't avoid children. And children can spread it. My dad was 63 when it killed him. My bros in law is 40. My friends my bro in law is also 40. It put both in the hospital. Without that hospitalization, they would have been another statistic. You're arguing a non point. The older you are the more conditions. But people with conditions, which there are a lot are also vulnerable. Including exactly those in hospitals, where people are at their weakest and trying to recover. Even a bad infection while recovering from benign surgery could be lethal.
    2
  44.  @troybailey9666  it's incredibly bad faith. One problem is bad, and this other problem is bad. But people are putting effort into one of those. And your solution is to put no effort into neither. How many kids will be worst off when their family dies or loses their jobs because of your selfishness. Selfish people have made the pandemic in the U.S much worst than it had to be. Every damn step of the way. And this is just the latest. On top of that. New strains affect young people more. And are deadlier overall.
    2
  45.  @troybailey9666  you don't get to decide whether you're infectious or not. You wouldn't even be aware for weeks. You're argument is in bad faith. 300 kids have died(and this is mostly with the old virus). Kids aren't even getting the shot yet. Another bad faith argument. This is about your adult selfishness. About people like you, and health care workers not getting it. And surviving Covid can leave you with side effects that are much worst. The rest is unproven fear mongering. You're very selfish. And people like you have been very selfish. Because you don't do things for the common good. Things that would help the society as a whole. If we had reached 70% awhile ago, we could have said that's herd immunity and it's fine now. But because you people have delayed it the number kept increasing. And now it's a lost strategy. Those companies will make more now because they'll have to probably keep developing the vac. If this was about corporations, then reaching it quick was best. Or supporting releasing the patents. But you've focused on being fearful. What you're doing isn't the same as concern or caution. It started that way. But you've gone down the worst path of selfishness. But my guess is you were selfish the entire time even before the vac.

  46.  @troybailey9666  let's be clear that it's not what I tell you to do. It's what's obviously good. It's obviously good to get it under control. The U.S was bad at keeping under control with guidelines. This is working. It's the only thing that has dropped the case numbers. You're looking at doing the obviously good thing for yourself and others, in dealing with this, and deciding not to do it. Out of fear.
    2
  47.  @troybailey9666  nothing else is going on here. Now you're just agreeing with the fact that it makes sense to have hospital and healthcare staff vaccinated. Edit: I'll add that you can end up in the hospital due to Covid. Since your language seems to imply otherwise, and that you can have conditions without being in a hoapital.

  48. Modern day manifest destiny, native reservations. I can understand why people call it ethnic cleansing. Hamas is terrible but Palestinians fighting back isn't an illogical reaction. Like calling Native Americans terrorists when they fought those settlers. Peace will come when people value human rights and lives. Violence comes when you treat people like this. Because the only options are breaking the human soul, or killing all the bodies that contain them.

  49.  @sadiemakesmesmile  so disingenuous. Those jobs means that they can affect and infect vulnerable patients. Meaning it's a safety issue.

  50.  @tikdoe7563  it isn't about American outbreaks but global outbreaks. And information about it, including where it comes from. Thus there's going to be a lot more images showing Africans. That picture is probably not new.
