Hegseth Defends Boat Strikes: Cartels “Enemy Combatants” in War on Christmas
Netanyahu’s crimes in Gaza must never be pardoned as “excesses” in defense of Israel. He has never acted in Israel’s best interests— only his own.

Right, and if I’m not mistaken, this has been broadly true since before 10/7, plus a growing popular mobilization demanding the same? From start to finish the Gaza war has been the critical lifeline to Netanyahu’s crumbling political career

the trolley problem meme, but the track forks 3 ways, and then there's a second set of junctions that could switch from one of any of the 3 tracks to one of the other 2. at the end of the tracks are 3 barriers marked with question marks, and behind them are a goat, a car, and another goat
