Weird how the US has only 45 approval 53% disapproval of Israel by the population but the politicians who “represent” us always vote nearly unanimously to do anything Israel wants. I thought the US was a democracy.

They’ve really honed in on steering and manufacturing public opinion too, over time.

Excellent, even. Removing their funding limits their reach. Lets impoverish the mofos. And realistically this is what we can all do pretty easily to push back against Israeli genocide.

They dont “deserve” a land to settle any more than anyone else does. Their religion says they do but thats not how land ownership – or your “fairness” works at all.

Thats just flatly not realistic. Polling shows that Israelis on average are entitled, racist and violent. A plurality of them want every non jewish person expelled from Israel, citizen or not. And 47% of them want every Gazan killed, no matter their innocence. about 80% think the way the war is being executed in Gaza is just and should continue. They are fine with war crimes.

Its easy to conclude that they will not live in peace with anyone if they feel they control any state apparatus.

great, just what the US needs.

“This latte is cold, this is a second holocaust, and antisemitic.”

Yes, clearly Israel is using their weapons for defensive purposes, and if more weapons arent provided (for um defense, or course), All Israelis are under threat of annhialation.

Macron was always going to cave. A quintessential centrist worm. The only thing he believes in is his hair style.

Needs an utterly useless amazon alexa: “by the way, did you know I can add items to your shopping list” announcement at the end, for every interaction, all day every day, forever.

Not that I’m pro-chemical-weapon use, but I dont think the US should be wagging their finger at much of anyone right now.

excellent point, killing innocent civilians is very wrong. As is starving them and abusing them for 80 years. All those things, just plain wrong, no matter the reasoning.

Good point, and a perfect centrist take (not that I’m accusing you of being centrist). They should have a centrist viewing and commentary of the whole star wars series. Like mystery science theatre 3000.

Well Russian travelers preferentail treatment while applying for European visas has been cancelled, so now they have to wait for visas like everyone else. So things are getting pretty serious.

“Russian citizens can still obtain Schengen visas to travel to Europe, but they may face a more challenging application process and potentially higher refusal rates. The EU has suspended the Visa Facilitation Agreement with Russia, meaning Russian citizens no longer enjoy preferential treatment when applying for visas”

Would it be fair to call it a “slamming?”
