@pedrotrossi1 @jcaetanoleite Qual parte da palavra “brincadeira” ficou difícil entender?

[Felipe Pait @pait]

@9vsulli @menavisualss @MaxBeggs Talvez não, talvez sim.

@pedrotrossi1 @jcaetanoleite Qual parte do que escrevi não faz sentido, a inexistência de graduação em direito nos EUA, ou a incerteza a respeito da hipótese do continuum?

[Felipe Pait @pait]

@clashreport "Clash Report" is a propaganda operation, probably run for Turkish dictator's interests, perhaps with Qatari support.

It is advisable to ignore it, and most certainly not to quote them.

[Felipe Pait @pait]

@pedrotrossi1 @jcaetanoleite Estava errado mesmo: assumia sem prova a hipótese do continuum.

Só brincadeira, não assisti a aula. De toda forma, graduação em direito não existe. E facul de direito privada com fins lucrativos existe apenas 1 (as outras fecharam, a que sobrou não é grande coisa).

This riveting new piece by @nargesbajoghli and @vali_nasr is worth a read and commendable for its ambition. My own take is that I agree with 50 percent but disagree with the other half.

I agree (and have made the point myself repeatedly in the last couple of years, as have others) that a new Islamic Republic is emerging that will be more pragmatic and less ideological, more nationalist and less religious, etc. (look what I wrote last June for instance:https://t.co/pIFl0tHE70)

Where I differ is that 1) This is a prolonged process and it's not likely to be as smooth as the piece implies. in other words, 'the new regime' hasn't quite emerged yet and I believe it will have to go through more crises; 2) There is virtually no evidence for claims in the article about any significant lessening of the regime-society gap in Iran. The authors themselves agree that Iranians "appeared united against the regime" in January. It is this very strange to claim that, after the massacres, and because of a war that seems to be very much result of the regime's ideological choices, Iranians have now suddenly become much more supportive of the regime. There is also just no empirical evidence for it. 3) The idea that the regime now can AND wants to forego integration in the global, West-led economic order and will make do with making arrangements with China, doesn't want sanctions lifted, etc. doesn't sound tenable economically or practically. There are fundamental reasons why this won't work (structure of Iranian economy is too West-facing and, despite all the multipolar buzz, there is not yet a real alternative to the Western-led economic order -- maybe in 50 years). But again the basic empirical fact is that this isn't quite what the regime elite themselves seek. In other words, folks like Ghaibaf and co actually do understand the need for global integration and seek it.

There are other broader issues. But the fact that this piece can help spark these conversations is a good thing in itself!

@HillelNeuer @simonmontefiore It’s a foundational legal principle in a democracy that everyone is entitled to legal representation. Even the worst criminals.

@pedrotrossi1 Pedro, curso para virar advogado nos EUA é pós-graduação. Antes de entrar precisa terminar bacharelado, 4 anos completos, diploma em qualquer área.

Não existe graduação em direito. Nem em medicina. É assim que funciona.

[Felipe Pait @pait]

@pedrotrossi1 @jcaetanoleite Bom, sei lá, a incorreção está no seu fio, atrapalhando seu argumento.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

@pedrotrossi1 Não existe graduação em direito nos EUA, só pós graduação. E não são em community colleges nem em faculdades com fins lucrativos, pouco conceituadas.

“Estabilizamos a moeda.”

[Fernando Haddad @Haddad_Fernando]

Eu entrei na política no período da redemocratização. Era um momento de esperança. E nós fizemos muita coisa.

Estabilizamos a moeda, acabamos com a fome, reduzimos o desmatamento, colocamos gente na universidade. Nós levamos água e luz, isentamos 15 milhões de pessoas do Imposto de Renda e chegamos na mínima histórica de desemprego. Foi feita muita coisa.

Às vezes, olhando para os últimos anos, dá um desalento. Mas você vai abrir mão do seu país porque tem uns malucos tomando detergente? O desafio é grande, mas nunca vamos desistir do Brasil.

@Haddad_Fernando Volta Haddad! Volta PSDB! #EraFelizNãoSabia

[Fernando Haddad @Haddad_Fernando]

Eu criei mais Instituto Federal no estado de São Paulo do que todos os meus antecessores somados, e abri mais vagas em escola pública e em universidade pública em São Paulo do que todos os meus antecessores somados. Não é mais que um, é mais que todos juntos.

E o governador era do PSDB. Pra mim, o interesse do povo paulista sempre veio antes da conta político-partidária.

A gestão da segurança pública em São Paulo vive um colapso. O comandante da PM de Tarcísio foi afastado sob graves denúncias de omissão frente a esquemas de propina do PCC, enquanto nossa Polícia Civil enfrenta um desprestígio sem precedentes.

Para completar o cenário, o governo aposta em tecnologias ineficazes a preços exorbitantes. Não à toa, a gestão já está na mira do Ministério Público por contratos suspeitos, sem licitação, com empresas sediadas em paraísos fiscais. São Paulo não pode ser usada para negociatas enquanto o crime organizado se fortalece. Exigimos respeito e transparência com o dinheiro do povo paulista.
