This is the largest drawback of recognizing Palestinian statehood. It's not the issue of confining our cause solely to 1967, which is indeed a concern but is not a precondition, but the issue of reducing actual statehood to the diplomatic upgrading of a non-sovereign entity that works for Israel.

It is unfortunate that these states cannot break out of this senseless paradigm, or choose not to.

Spain has done a remarkable amount for us compared to most of the West but it is nonetheless disturbing and sad to see that what constitutes support for Palestinian statehood is in essence support for a dictator in-waiting in the form of Abu Mazen and his jackboot Hussein

The sanctions regime imposed by Congress onto the Syrians has been lifted. The Caesar Act is now repealed, as soon as the president signs.

Not the point but this photo is not how I prepared coffee as a barista, always fun to see how others do it

⚡️ Guerilla Fighters in West Papua Are Facing Extermination by Indonesia's High-Tech Forces The West Papua Nat'l Liberation Army has resisted counterinsurgency in the Star Mountains for decades. Drop Site spoke... Story by Kristo Langker (@ParadiseBroad on X) www.dropsitenews.com/p/west-papua...

I would really like to see more Ds speaking up to defend her. this is ridiculous and horrific.

If the Court arbitrarily strikes down this key part of the fourteenth amendment, I think Americans lose any moral obligation to show any allegiance to the laws enforced by a fundamentally lawless regime

this is also why - sorry - but i consider it essentially unproblematic to call russian soldiers 'orcs.' yes i know about That Passage on orc appearance, i just don't think it's that important

we don't call them orcs in eastern europe because they /look/ like orcs, we call them orcs because they are a mindless horde of slave soldiers to a thoroughly malevolent force

the Laken Reilly Act has officially become a liability in a high-profile Dem primary

Israeli ambassador to the United Nations calls occupied Quneitra, a province capital of Syria, part of the territory of the Israeli state

Oh my god he admit it

Please can Republican House Conference have a collective crash out

ah yes generative AI for the military, we definitely want our servicemembers thinking *less* great job everyone

Not splitting hairs at all, I've been writing about this since before 10/07

You already knew: AI is the tool of the worst people you know. News: it's now the tool of the worst *Trotskyists* you know

America is about to lose billions in lost business and travel from our allies. MAGA. White supremacy remains undefeated in being self-destructive.

Lawmakers and bible thumpers don't want you to understand the people they're demonizing are doing more good for society than they ever would

*sigh* Critical support for Piers Morgan

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial." "Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."

I feel like you can't really say "war is inevitable" in response to the chants of a country's army when you're literally occupying the territory of that country

People like to analogize Israel to a friend with alcoholism but frankly this is extremely and so needlessly exculpatory to the point of being offensive.

It's genuinely so cool that the Emily Post Institute still publishes stuff and now they have stuff about navigating pronouns and an "intersectional world." Perfect example of my kind of bullshit

Far right side, middle row, is a woman who I suspect is latina and you will note how much her demeanor changes from laughing along to discomfort when they get to the chanting about deporting Omar.

Syrian army members chanted "Gaza Gaza, we are with you until death" in marches yesterday during celebrations of the fall of Assad and Israel is apparently demanding an apology from al Sharaa and a condemnation of the chants

Had an interesting time this morning watching some of the Syrian celebrations and then looking at Twitter, where pro Israel people are naturally very upset

Notice how none of them talk about how to pressure russia more. That's seen as inconceivable. Russia's just a force of nature they can only appease.

Reminded of that tweet that called Israelis “Sand Russians” and it is becoming very very true

man knows ball

i am really tired of using this photo honestly

Oh look an orientalist and imperialist cunt.

colonialist apologia indistinguishable from any imperialist's treatment of the subaltern throughout history It's impressive how Branko tries to scare monger about east europeans pursuing "emancipation" and "self-determination"

Ok. If forced to choose between your version of progressivism and the safety and wellbeing of my people and family, I choose the latter. Extremely easy choice thanks

The Russians blew up the Nova Khakova dam and his first reaction was "if it weren't for Ukraine's resistance, this wonder of Soviet engineering would still be standing"

You are citing the guy who has repeatedly lamented that Ukraine's continued resistance to Russian imperialism is trampling on the legacy of the Soviet Union

dem governor of colorado endorses anti-dei shitposter and eugenics twink how did we get here

And I think the contemporary media environment only makes this more viable

I think the line she's drawing here might be more than a little ambitious, but there's some real truth to this commentary

I’ve always said people aren’t sweaty enough on cross-country flights

Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

oh you may think this is funny, but YOU try being hospitalized 47 times for things like “crawfish lodged in left artery” and see how well you deal with it

not sure how one argues with a straight face anymore that liberal elites did not play an outsized role in the slow-then-sudden disappearance of the cordon sanitaire around open racism and eugenics

Apparently Hanania has been boosting Polis for a while

i will always love dem jointz songs

The inability to have a positive vision of the future is one of the biggest tailwinds the populist Right has at its back, because then politics becomes about RETVRN, and the Right is always going to beat the Left at that game
