Even if the author didn’t think this was the reason, you’d think they’d even bring it up once to debunk it.

Exactly. Why are these young people doing it? Because they’re showing off to their friends. Look at these Arabs I roughed up!”

Israeli social media today is what social media in the 1930s would look under Jim Crow, complete with lynching videos being posted. The settlers are gleefully posting videos of themselves bullying Palestinians out of their homes.

I have a lifetime pass already but I’ve been souring on the app as they changed direction.

Previously it was the best app for running your own personal streaming service. It lets you share your library with friends and it even had its own group watch feature allowing multiple people to watch the same stream together. It was perfect for remote friends and family, brilliant during Covid…. And they removed it for no obvious reason.

Now the company spends more and more time trying to promote their own ad-laden video streams, they want us to rate movies and presumably sell that data. The company lost its way.

Lifetime Plex was still worth it with those features at $200, not at $750. If I had to do it all over again I’d probably use JellyFin.

But racists treat it like one.

Even peaceful protest is too much for Israelis to handle. They shoot Palestinians for nonviolent protest. They shoot Palestinians for not leaving their homes. They called it “diplomatic terrorism” when Palestinians went to the UN to complain and slapped sanctions on Palestinians.

When you do this, you make violent conflict inevitable. Netanyahu knows this and does it anyway. He wants that outcome.

As Trump liked to say to his opponents, he doesn’t have the cards.

Comma AI can do it with far far less.

Why should they when the US broke the last deal made?

It’s being reported that Trump’s inner circle are hiding facts from him. They show him videos of airstrikes and big explosions, but he had no idea that Iranians had struck US planes until he saw it in the media.

This is what happens when Trump replaced all competent people with yes-men.

If he doesn’t know its going badly and Fox is praising him, what incentive does he have to stop?

If you can understand Arabic the father gave an interview and it’s on YouTube and X.

Intel set up shop in Israel long ago, but I’m still boycotting. At least we have AMD as an alternative.

And you continue to ignore what I said the first time and continue on preaching nonsense.

That’s not what they voted for.

It’s a weird world where you blame the public for not voting for a flawed candidate rather than the candidate for not being flawed. It’s like blaming an audience for not laughing at the comedian on stage.

Harris made a conscious choice to avoid pandering to certain constituencies (in hopes it would pay off by gaining conflicted Republican voters) and that gamble went wrong as people warned it would.

There’s been polling analysis that showed if you forced everyone to vote then Harris would have lost to Trump by an even bigger margin due to the unpopularity of the administration at the time. Nonvoters didn’t make a difference. Michigan was won by Trump by a bigger margin than all college students or Arabs or Muslims or any other minority group in the state.

That’s not at all accurate. Toddlers are not an example of moral creatures; sharing and empathy are not developed at that age either.

If religion went away, violence would still exist. Atheist regimes still commit genocides. Humans just suck. This still doesn’t address my original point, you’re claiming that Christianity is somehow inherently more peaceful and that’s historically false, and claiming that Muslims are peaceful but their religion is pushing them to the opposite, and that’s ridiculously ignorant. If Islam magically went away, you’d still see violence in the Middle East due to colonialism and imperialism.

The YouTube reviews of BYD by Americans seem to say the opposite.

That’s simply false. I’m a practicing Muslim and I’m peaceful because of my religion and not despite it. My religion pushes me to be more patient with people and respect people who probably don’t deserve it.

Claiming that Muslims are peaceful despite their religion is a profoundly ignorant take. Talk to any kid in Sunday school if you don’t believe me. Islam has the same root word in Arabic as “peace.”

Here’s the problem as I see it. Trump, Hegseth, and Rubio are deeply overconfident. Trump’s former ambassador was telling BBC that Venezuela is much easier than Iraq. Trump fell into the same mistake as Bush did of thinking the president is unpopular and that the outside opposition is all set to swoop in and replace the government and give Trump everything he wants in oil. This is too tantalizing. The problem is that the new government is not stable, patriots and nationalists and pro-Maduro pro-army forces will resist and fight a foreign occupation. Trump thought he could skirt the problems of Iraq by doing only airstrikes and wrapping up the whole conflict in less than 60 days (so that Congress can be cut out of the whole thing).

Rebels can sabotage the oil lines, that means the need for troops to protect the oil. That will go longer than the 60 day limit; so either Trump will have to find another military or ask Congress for authorization. Trump will likely force Congress to go along; Republicans are too scared to cross Trump and Democrats are afraid of being labeled unpatriotic for not going along with it. The fact is that Dem leaders are being silent on this. The only good take I’ve seen is Graham Platner issuing a statement about how illegal this whole thing is, not defending Maduro or sounding unpatriotic.

Long story short, Congress will meekly go along with Trump’s war as a fait accompli. Nobody wants to be painted as anti-troops or pro-drugs or whatever Republicans will smear them as.

Nice strawman. Republicans win BECAUSE Democrats keep pushing milquetoast candidates that are uninspiring and hostile to their own base.

The Centrist Democrat is saying we should support centrist Democrats?
