@JonesSmythe @DefenseBaron given that they haven’t retaliated much, my feeling is they will escalate to deescalate if iran keeps pushing

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@christapeterso appreciate your point on rafah, but they’re claiming hamas was using it for covert movement which would remove the protection regardless of marking, if true

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@neil_tedrow @whstancil I think the opposite, they lived through vietnam, and had family in ww2 and korea so their tolerance for civilian casualties is much higher

[Jay Donde @JayNDonde]

If you think the House of Saud is going to walk away from that over even many thousands of Palestinian civilian casualties, you need a refresher on just how little Arab countries' rhetoric about Palestinians' welfare matches their actual efforts in that regard. 11/x

@ProfPaulPoast @WPReview @Noahpinion looks like you were on to something

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@BBolander the saudis, who we arm and fund, have killed 400k yemenis over the past 5 years and almost nobody says a thing about it, but there is hyperfocus on this conflict, that’s pr and advocacy, not values

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@kamilkazani irrespective of the current conflict can we say, who partitions a territory like that? an obvious time bomb

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@ianbremmer land swap gaza for the israeli land between the west bank and golan and then evacuate the civilians there, then give the palestinians a state with contiguous borders

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@CougarSpider talk to any of these people for more than 10 minutes and you will find that they basically excuse the methods because they agree with the cause, even if they won’t say it directly

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@roofusfirefly @SwannMarcus89 I think the difference is at least with back to the future it was reshot before it was completed, a lot of these reshoot flops now get reshot after bad testing and studio feedback

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@alexplitsas but we already have Menendez

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@wil_da_beast630 eh it’s a bit further left than center, basically every mainstream dem is giving the green light

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@thmpsnii @CentristMadness can be semi treatable without surgery apparently

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@thedragonLML eh disagree, the answer is “we’re not counting” because it isn’t the stated objective

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@jeremycarl4 @LeaderMcConnell best way to reduce debt is to bolster the IRS and raise taxes but your benefactors won’t let you, even the GOP plan for funding aid is based on cutting from the IRS, it’s moronic

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@seyitaylor the techno libertarians deserve a lot of blame in this regard, the sector has lost a lot of trust, do you think people feel good about the idea of elon running around with one of the world’s only strong ai with the way he’s been acting?

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@Variety this thinking is why so many movies are messy, directionless, and too long, superhero stories are fundamentally straightforward, hero has values that make them a hero>a villain symbolically threatens those values>they overcome the test and affirm the values, don’t make it hard

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@lakecountydem @glcarlstrom everybody says they want peace but nobody wants to be responsible for it

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@StevenNadel @nycsouthpaw yeah it isn’t, it depends on the value of the target that you’re hitting, the first strike seems to have hit more than just 1 guy so was probably legit

[Max J @f1rem1nd]

@kamilkazani eh that’s a stretch, if you’re somewhat following the laws of armed conflict then you are not using every means available to you and are thus limited
