The West Bank is literally worse than the Jim Crow South at its peak. Constant mob ethnic violence, targeting the indigenous Muslim and Christian communities. No accountability; pogroms are legal and facilitated by the Israeli state.
In 1981, the PLO laid down its arms in Lebanon, scrupulously upheld a ceasefire for nearly a year, and offered to recognize Israel via a two-state settlement.
Israel responded with an unprovoked invasion, killing 15-20,000 Palestinians and Lebanese.
Graham Platner should have instead said "Not nuking these fucking animals is the only restraint I expect and that's only because the cloud would hurt Israelis" and then the media class would deem him acceptable.
Meanwhile on Chinese TV: "I visited California in the 80s. They were promising high-speed rail. China didn't even have highways."

Over 200 people killed so far, some who seem likely to have died agonizing deaths by drowning after clinging to wreckage for hours, with no trials, and without a single piece of evidence released to the public of their guilt or of any intent to smuggle drugs to the United States.

Adam Hamawy describes what he wishes people could understand from his time treating patients in Gaza:
"Much worse" than what we see online.
"The smells, the full senses…crying children, the families…to see this every single day…you just can't even describe it well enough."
Netanyahu reportedly killed the bill that would’ve put WB and Gaza archaeology sites under Israeli civilian authority. The mainstream Israeli archaeology community aggressively campaigned against it out of fear of international boycotts. Makes ya think! Read more in qt’d story.
In the middle of a live streamed genocide the Canadian Prime Minister is making speeches in front of an Israeli flag, telling us that the real victims are those who’s feelings are hurt by criticism of the offending state.
This picture was taken yesterday.
Hamawy has won — meaning a doctor who treated the victims of the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza is headed to Congress.
He refused to leave his rotation, even as Israel surrounded the hospital and cut off the water supply, until a new rotation of doctors was allowed in
the thing i never understand about people who make arguments like this is, do they think that college with supports requires less learning? the supports facilitate learning. the objective of education is to learn, not to become the best at getting good grades.
