What an idiot. Even more idiotic are the fools who buy based on this pump. The Tesla brand is doomed. And elon has burned his cash cow connections with trump.

No really, you orange moron? You’re only just realizing now that all your moves are creating instability that will stop business investment?

"Please - just say you’re a lefty and we won’t go for the death penalty - we can do like what we did for Ghislaine in a few years … "

Use the incursions in to Poland as an excuse to set up a NATO no fly zone within say 10 km of poland’s border. Then every time Putin fucks around with something, increase the zone. Yes, it means NATO will fire on Russian drone - that’s ok, it’s only drones. Russia isn’t sending Russian fighters into Ukraine as Ukraine would shoot them down.

Some regrets when those leopards start to nibble. But that won’t stop the American Nazi wannabes in the White House from plowing on, and destroying the country.

Trump undermines US credibility? No, really?

I wonder which one will make the news on faux?

Dunno. He might support the current efforts, as you pointed out - he understood that Palestinians would never accept Israel’s existence.

You just put ‘moral high ground’ and ‘Israel’ in the same sentence as much as I did.
I won’t be surprised; both sides are stupidly stubborn and both side are evil and violent. Right now Isreal has the means to be more evil and more violent. In the past whether on their own volition or to secure international support, they have not gone full on to wipe out their adversaries so I think they did somewhat take the slightly less low road. They are taking a different approach now and it’s horrible. I don’t know if it will make the eventual response even more horrible, or if it will delay it enough that from Israel’s perspective it will be worth it. I can only hope the current Israeli government gets kicked out of power and some sort of peace deal can be made.

There’s been attempts toward peace in the past. The big one was when Gaza was given autonomy to elect their own government … and they chose Hamas. Yes Israel generally acts horribly, but it’s been both Palestinians and Israelis that have scuttled efforts to peace in the past,

Well technically, Israel didn’t sign the Rome Statute, so no. And there are a lot of parties in the area that aren’t following the rules. You can’t just pick one side and insist they get pummeled by following the rules when their adversaries don’t. I would certainly wish Israel would take the moral high ground, but instead they seem to have decided to go down to the gutter and fight Hamas at its level - and I find that very regrettable and sad.

I think you’re a bit delusional there. The people of Gaza support Hamas.
And although I disparage recent settler activities by Israel, their entire existence could be seen as settler colonialism, just like the U.S. or almost all other countries if you go back far enough. So I don’t think Israel has any obligation there.
If you think the people of Gaza would kick out Hamas if they could, why don’t they welcome Israel to do the same?

As as they’ve inched toward that in the past, Hamas built up and then attacked. Yes, Israel acts horribly, but Hamas make it impossible to find any peaceful solution unless they are eradicated.

Hamas is not surrendering. They are still launching rockets at Israeli civilians. Hamas is the face of Gaza. Yes, it’s their decision not to surrender. They have agency there.

I’m not defending Israel’s actions nor their people for not revolting against their government. But I’m also not defending Hamas or the people of Gaza for not revolting against them.

You make it sound like the people of Gaza have no agency, that they’re mindless pawns with predestined outcomes. If so, then so are the IDF soldiers and the politicians behind them. Where do you start making people responsible for their own decisions?

Hamas needs to surrender and release all the hostages. Their very existence gives Israel an excuse to keep doing their unconscionable shit in Gaza.

What a moron.

I think the U.S. may be the baddies now.
