That’s a problem no matter how government officials are elected, and therefore irrelevant.

They’ve been falling for loonies for decades, sure, but that is tangential.

From isreals point of view they are fighting a “just war”

And from Germany’s point of view, they were fighting a just war.

It’s definitely as much Palestinians blocking peace as Isreal.

Every single time a ceaswfire deal gets close hamas changes the deal at the last minute to something they know is unreasonable thereby taking negotiations back to step 1.

This is factually incorrect. You have it backwards.

Israel has been pulling this shit since forever:

And they’ve been doing ethnically cleansing the whole time:

The GOP fell to the MAGA crowd a lot quicker than a decade.

Take over the democratic party with actual leftists. If the fascists can do it with the GOP, we can do it with leftists/the DNC.

Because cars are well regulated to make them as safe as possible.

While this is debatable, the regulation of cars is still a useful allegory for gun regulation.

then Isreal loses nothing by destroying gaza

So we’re just going full mask off genocide? Get a grip.

Palestinians have to realize that their situation isn’t getting better

If you had any understanding of history, you’d know that has always been the case no matter what. Every decade, they’ve faced massacres, destruction of their homes, and ethnic cleansing.

It has always been the case that their situation isn’t getting better, it has always been getting worse. Israel going full genocidal mode after October 7th was inevitable. At least now the world is paying closer attention and pressuring Israel and public officials to shut it down.

the only way to improve their situation is through diplomacy amwhich requires making concessions to reach a deal.

Not possible when Israel has a policy of “we will kill you, or take your home, we will accept nothing else”.

Clearly you haven’t been paying attention, because for he last several months Israel has constantly reiterated that regardless of what deals are made, the only condition for ending their attacks is the end of Hamas. But conveniently everybody who dies gets called Hamas. According to Israel, basically no civilians have been killed.

You can’t negotiate with genocidal maniacs. There is no middle ground when one side wants genocide, and the other just wants to live.

Or maybe, almost a century of colonization on Israel’s part has left Palestinians with no choice but to defend themselves violently. Don’t want terrorists? Maybe don’t bomb civilians and civilian infrastructure. Because every bomb you drop on a residential building is going to end up creating more terrorists than you kill.

You could rotate it before battle to your preferred position, but not rotate it mid battle.

Right, and trickle down economics works. /s

You’d be safer IRL printing it on a printer without yellow ink, then scanning it, then deleting the metadata from the scan.

And Geordi would probably canonically agree, at least with the second bit. Just finished reading Picard the Last Best Hope, and Geordi had no problem taking over the ship yards of Mars to build a fleet to save Romulans.

Even a small percentage is good. The situation is desperate.

The fewer first time home owners that get out bid by corps the better. Doesn’t matter if it is a drop in the bucket.

And that’s even before considering how it would help stop housing from being an investment vehicle.

I guess, no one NEEDS a video streaming platform.

Nobody NEEDS social media, but when a social media does something harmful, they need to be regulated.

That’d be well and good if they didn’t have a monopoly.

let most of the back just grow out wild

This, but native plants instead.

Agreed, however approval/star voting would be better.

Getting shot in your own home during a no knock raid isn’t a culture problem.

H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. So 88 is a common dog wistle for neo-nazis and white supremacists to say “heil hitler”.
