@clairlemon@Mr_Andrew_Fox's approach is exactly right. Part of the story offered by the police is that the coroner judged Nowak to be a goner whether they had helped him or not. I'm unimpressed by this with respect to the responsibility of the police. They certainly couldn't have known.
@draecomino@charlescwcooke So he's confiscating half the ownership of the companies. It's obviously a taking that will have to be compensated with fair market value. Is that in his plan?
@TimesofIsrael@AmandaBDan My impression at the time was that the local Lebanese figured the Israelis would come in, kill all the Palestinians, and go home. Life was more complicated.
@TimesofIsrael@AmandaBDan On the way up we drove through, I think, Marjayoun. There was a UNIFIL checkpoint with a single Fijian soldier smiling and waving at us. The locals were friendly too. I wish I had brought a camera.
@MaxNordau@Mr_Andrew_Fox This was one of the videos that came out very soon after 10/7 and I remember watching it. They were using a hoe. It was public because the attackers broadcast it.
@SubversiveForce@Mr_Andrew_Fox The US is supposed to be this hyper-violent country (and we are violent, always have been), but such a thing as this is unimaginable here. I guess it's just a cultural difference.
@ScottMcConnell9@ProfDBernstein@ZaidJilani Recognizing Israel was not a real concession. The reason Arafat walked away from the best deal he could possibly get was because it renounced the right of return. Recognizing Israel and insisting on the right of return are contradictory, and he knew it.
@Mr_Andrew_Fox Anything else was always highly unlikely. They might pony up if there were a real chance of ending the conflict. That won't happen in my lifetime.
@WeHaveWaysPod Yesterday I saw a new movie, Pressure (https://t.co/o7SRL69MOh), about the weather forecasting in advance of D-Day. This is not the first (or second) movie I've seen where Montgomery is a complete jerk. Is he like that in Brit movies?

@Mr_Andrew_Fox Sorry, American here. Sounds like a hospital but what is 'A&E?' It's a cable TV channel over here.
Seriously, I hope you recover soon.
@ProfDBernstein The MAGA pollution of the Libertarian Party has tainted small 'l' libertarianism too. If anyone terrors to reboot it, I say go with Classical Liberal.
