If this happened in the U.S. there would be riots.
The only riots that might result from this in Israel will come if this soldier is arrested.
Would love to be proven wrong.
@davehydesports@OmarKelly NOOO! I love your take on Miami sports! I had to cancel my Sun subscription because of my finances. But this is terrible. All your experience and insights are a big loss.
Powerful piece, highly recommend reading. Democrats need people like Platner if they are going to come to terms with the true nature of our country, with what we have done to people at home and abroad, and pull together the coalition needed to heal and reshape it.
“A tiny minority of Americans (6%) ever serve in the military. Of these, only 40% of veterans have ever deployed to a combat zone. And of those deployed, only about 10% participated in actual ground combat. I am one of those, and so is Platner. His pathology: a combination of traumatic stress, substance abuse, impulsive decision-making in the past, and deep anger at the moral injury he sustained wearing the cloth of this nation, is something this country ought to consider when it sends its young men and women to war. The question before Maine is not whether Graham Platner is perfect. The question is whether the United States Senate, the state of Maine, and the country as a whole would benefit from having his voice in the room when decisions are made. The answer is yes…”
“A democracy that insists on perfection will eventually find itself represented only by people skilled at hiding their flaws.”

Congress must act NOW to protect American workers.
It’s really something how billionaires have rigged the rules to let them vacuum up all of society’s wealth & then fund think tanks and buy media properties that blame poverty and homelessness and despair on literally everything other than billionaires vacuuming up all the wealth

BREAKING :
The UN accuses Israel of committing EXTERMINATION in Gaza.
EXTERMINATION.
Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.
“Israel is responsible for extermination, murder, using starvation as a method of war..”
—The UN Human Rights Council
The Nakba never ended. The Israeli apartheid regime is still committing genocide in Gaza and violently erasing entire communities across Palestine and Lebanon. I'm leading a resolution to recognize the 78th anniversary of Nakba and reaffirm Palestinian refugees' right of return.
A few weeks ago we published the first hand account of a German journalist raped in Israeli custody. She co-wrote the piece with an American journalist, who was also abused repeatedly. So Israeli prison guards will do that to Germans and Americans, but not to Palestinians?
🚨Dem congressional candidate @ChrisRabb tees off on the disillusionment that happened during the Obama era that led to Trump, and what Democrats must now do:
"(Democrats) were complicit in the corporate duopoly, where when the Democratic president is in office, they listen to the Democrats at Goldman Sachs & when it's a Republican in office, they listen to the Republicans at Goldman Sachs.
"There's this very naive belief that we gotta come together and not look backwards. No, we need to punish the people who are responsible for the largest theft of American household wealth in modern history...If we don't use our authority and have moral clarity around going after them, we don't deserve to lead and to govern."
