YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE.
Perhaps George W. Bush learned from his father’s experience that it is safest to do as Israel demands.
On September 12, 1991, George H.W. Bush went on camera and threatened to block $10 billion in U.S. loan guarantees to Israel unless it froze settlements and cooled tensions with the Palestinians.
He called himself “one lonely little guy” against “a thousand lobbyists.”
Then on January 8, 1992, the clip everyone still shares: Bush collapses at a state dinner in Tokyo and vomits on Japan’s prime minister.
White House said flu.
After that, the public fight over cutting aid to Israel went quiet. The money eventually went through.
Probably nothing.
Vladivostok, Rusia: bocah 14 tahun gak sengaja nyenggol kaki pria dewasa pas masuk lift, langsung minta maaf. Pria itu malah ngamuk, nerobos masuk lift, mukulin anak itu, terus diseret keluar dan terus dipukulin di depan adiknya yang baru 6 tahun
ibu korban bilang sebelum kejadian pria ini emang udah keliatan agresif di luar gedung, nendang-nendangin trotoar sendirian. jadi bocah itu bukan penyebab, cuma kebetulan lewat di jalur orang yang emang lagi cari ribut
hasilnya: korban kena memar dan cedera kepala tertutup, adiknya yang nonton langsung trauma. Pelakunya sendiri bukan penghuni gedung itu, dia tamu yang lagi berkunjung ke tetangga lantai atas
catatan penting: ini bukan kasus polisi nyerang warga sipil kayak yang sempet beredar. pelakunya warga sipil biasa 54 tahun, udah ditetapkan tersangka pasal kekerasan/kerusuhan
kejadian ini nunjukkin sesuatu yang lebih dasar dari sekadar "orang jahat": kadang masalahnya bukan soal siapa yang salah duluan, tapi soal ada orang yang emang lagi nyari alasan buat marah, dan anak-anak yang paling gampang jadi sasaran empuknya
🇵🇸🇲🇾“This cannot be a future of multilateralism. We must move from reaction to prevention. And nowhere is that task more urgent than in Gaza.
Malaysia will not stand here and recite statistics that everyone in this hall already knows.
We all know the scale of death in Gaza. We know how many children, families, medic, aid workers and journalists have been slaughtered.
We also know that Gaza represents the highest number of children made orphans in a single conflict.
Malaysia and many other member states have exhausted every effort in pursuit of justice for Gaza.
We have consistently called for an immediate ceasefire and unrestricted supply of aid.
We have supported humanitarian work in Palestine. We have pushed for punitive actions towards Israel, and we have advocated for full Palestinian membership in this hall.
And yet again and again, Mr. President, the collective will of this assembly has encountered the silencing effect of the veto.”
