Time for more NatSec Nuance™️ with Angry:
- if you’re upset that Nasrallah is dead, you’re on the wrong side of history. This is like the US killing Usama bin Laden.
- on the flip side, if you think this won’t further destabilize the region, you aren’t paying attention
- Israel’s operation against Hezbollah has been a tactical success - they’ve wounded or killed the entire leadership structure in two weeks.
- on the flip side, it should make you realize that the operation in Gaza could have been executed better, and with far fewer civilian casualties: if they have this level of intelligence on Hezbollah, they almost certainly have it on Hamas.
- you can (and should) support Israel’s right to go after terrorist organizations while also demanding that they adhere to the Laws of Armed Conflict.
- Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon had a Hezbollah pager, which should tell you just about everything you need to know.
- Hezbollah has fired over 10,000 rockets into Northern Israel. Stop acting like they’re innocent.
- Israel has ignored proportionality requirements in some of its strikes in Gaza. Stop acting like they’re innocent.
- if you believe that Israel is always in the right, you’re wrong.
- if you believe read Israel is always in the wrong, you’re wrong.

Avoidance of the term #Disability can be harmful, as it denies disability as a marker of identity and diversity
Language has power and its okay to #SayTheWord
@DanWuori My dad's family was Jewish, so his mom was called Bubbie. My mom's mom, who shall we say was a bit extra before before being extra was specifically a thing, decided she deserved a "special" name, too. She came up with Grandie (with an "ie" because y is an ugly letter).
