Beyond being a war on the people of Palestine, it’s clear that Israel’s war is upon the civilization of Palestine.

I don’t know whether #47 thinks he’s replacing one type of leadership with another. He’s not. However, I’m certain he doesn’t care one way or the other. He gets what he wants. That’s all he cares about. This ↓ is now the leader of the free world.

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

Well, he did his best. It’s a good thing he’s not relied upon to do international diplomacy.

Relax everyone, there is no such thing as trickle-down economics. It’s been debunked. We’ll be fine… Well, we’ll be broke, but we’ll be fine-ish.

“But… but… but if I don’t use up all our weapons there’ll be nothing to gain by buying stock in the companies we’ll overpay to replace these $multi-million military dinosaurs.”

The two things are not mutually exclusive.

A catastrophic foreign policy failure is not necessarily the same thing as an accident. The concern is that he may use a crisis (or even an apparently related incident) to expand executive power or justify extraordinary measures.

It’s ridiculously easy to move past it: Withdraw. However, he has an ego the size of a small planet. He’s not prepared to look beaten, which is going to be hard, as he is beaten, and I doubt he’s prepared to stop having influence over oil futures prices.

The process won’t be clear to them all. Assumptions are built into the environment around them until they feel like common sense. That doesn't remove personal responsibility, but it does explain why many people inside a system may not perceive its effects.

Complaints about a culture of bias have been made by a number of IDF veterans and some serving personnel.

Because they are trained and socialized to view Palestinians primarily through a security lens: as a population among whom militants may be hiding. Constant exposure to threats, checkpoints, attacks, and security operations can make it difficult not to generalize that perception to civilians.

Don’t be fooled: They’re still working for the cause ↓

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

I doubt they’re all like this, but they’re forced to invest in an “us vs them” environment. I’d imagine it’s quite difficult to finish your service without having become more skeptical of “them”.

It is also depressing that Badenoch, systemic-racism denier and climate change enabler, rates so high.

To be fair, the Israeli public is exposed to government messaging and security-focused socialization, reinforced in part through compulsory military service. As a result, many may perceive the risk to any individual Israeli from Palestinian militant attacks as higher than the statistics suggest.

“Mr. President, are Iran’s negotiators in the room with us now?”

They have a distraction, well actually they have many, but they have one in particular, and while they’re all bad intrinsically, please multitask or you may lose the big fight that if you lose, you lose them all and more.
