An important reminder to all the vets and potential vets out there- the military does nothing for ethical reasons. They don't care about you.

Hi. I'm sorry for having to ask but there is 153 left on my current loan. I have multiple medical collections contacting me and we can't afford it on top of our regular bills. Our son's specialists, my specialists and psychiatrist. Losing my job has made me spin hard so thanks for trying and reading

I don't think extremists consider things broadly. They simply react. But on some level they do believe they act for a general purpose a la the Powell memo. They believe democracy is a softener of the manly American essence. Their befuddlement destroys us but of course they'll blame someone else.

John Roberts is a master tactician playing the longest game to destroy American democracy. I doubt he thinks much about a higher justification --and he'll suffer no consequence. But in case he thought it was to preserve American wealth and power--he essentially destroyed the US in the long run.

Palestine is an occupied territory.

Conditions there will not get better till the occupation and oppression end. You can't bomb people into democracy.

Oh, and "it's not an ethnostate"?

It explicitly gives Jewish citizens more rights than Palestinians, and it just passed a Palestinian -only death penalty.

Do you think "ethnostate" means literally only one ethnicity exists?

This. Israel has the power to move the region towards peace.

Palestinians do not.

It is likewise a fact that Israel has directly attacked and undermined more reasonable, secular Palestinian organizations, while boosting Hamas, because they don't want peace, they want domination

And people don't just accept that. It's insane to expect them to.

The violence will not stop until the oppression stops. That's not endorsement, it's fact.

"No justice, no peace" isn't just a chant, it's a truth. Oppressed people fight their oppression, and doing so is recognized as a human right.

Think of it this way:

Everyone has a right to live in peace and safety.

Nobody has a right to a country that gives rights based on religion or ethnicity.

Ethnostates do not make people safe, and don't allow everyone to live in peace and safety.

Zionism as settler colonialism - Wikipedia

A little historical context for the "like American colonialism" thing.

And to be very clear, nobody said anything about "innocents"

I'm talking about cause and effect.

If an occupying government kills someone's family, they will usually want to fight back.

Do Palestinians have a right to defend themselves?

It's literally what is happening, and there is no such thing as a perfect victim.

Israel was founded on the violent displacement and murder of nearly a million Palestinians, as an explicitly colonial project. It has continued that process.

You just said "yes" this:

"Israel has a right to exist as a democratic state with equal rights for all. It does not have a right to apartheid or genocide."

And then mocked me for asking you to clarify, so clearly you do agree with me.

Right?

Other countries that are also doing bad things.

I don't like theocracies, for example, so I wouldn't want the US government supporting the current Iranian regime, and I oppose its support for Saudi Arabia.

THIS conversation is about Israel. Saying other countries are bad is irrelevant.

Whataboutism is a dodge

I am against ALL oppression and bigotry including antisemitism

Israel can't have peace until it has justice. That's just how people work

And Israel is a client state of MY country, and is committing atrocities with my country's support, so it's more my problem than

It's not clear-cut to me. It wasn't intentionally genocidal in terms of official policy, but there was a huge amount of indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, and the use of shit like Agent Orange has caused multi-generational reproductive problems.

Not "a genocide", but genocidal in nature.

EU ‘right to repair’ laws may save millions of phones from landfill Smartphone manufacturers make their batteries hard to replace. Tough new EU rules will change that.

EU ‘right to repair’ law

The EU will soon require smartphone manufacturers to let users replace their batteries.

The tough new rules - endorsed by the European Parliament this week - could save millions of phones from landfill.

ICE’s Smart Glasses Are a Worst-Case Scenario The DHS is reportedly developing its own smart glasses that it plans to couple with biometric databases and facial recognition.

“There are a lot of privacy pitfalls that come along with smart glasses, but the potential for their use as a tool for mass surveillance is easily one of the most harrowing.”

Media should stop saying Israel is “demolishing” villages in Lebanon. It’s misleading.

The accurate term is ethnic cleansing.

Cool. Except that you just called me an antisemitic dickhead for saying Israel doesn't have a right to exist as an ethnostate, and then, apparently agreed with that exact same sentiment.

Hamas is mostly made up of peoyehose families were killed by Israel when they were children.

Israel is creating its own enemies, and very clearly trying to do what the US did to the Native Americans. Same kind of project.

The main reason people increasingly don't like Israel is because of their fascist behavior

And trying to make a Jewish ethnostate IS the second wrong trying to make a right.

It's trying to fix Euro antisemitic oppression by committing islamaphobic oppression.

The answer is to stop the oppression.

"hate breeds hate" is literally what's happening in Israel. The country was founded on an act of ethnic cleansing, and has continued like that ever since.

They do not have a right to that, an more than the Europeans had a right to their antisemitism.
