Trump did not broker an end to the conflict. There's no peace agreement and the main causes of the conflict dating to 1948 - Israeli claims on Palestinian land and ethnic cleansing of occupied territory - remain in full force.

It's a border dispute. And Israel doesn't recognize Palestine's borders.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

This is no more lawful than if Iran / North Korea / whoever blew up a couple American yachts in the Mediterranean for suspected drug trafficking. On the legal spectrum it sits in the middle of a Venn diagram between overt acts of military aggression, state-sponsored terrorism, and simple murder.

I kind of appreciate that they did, though

They could've used another picture, and no doubt they were aware they were selecting a picture with their own logo in it

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

This is what they were like 20 years ago, when *I* was in college. It's the same shit being passed down. Social conservatism in the US is built on bigotry, and its lineage in this regard is built upon codified racism and religious nationalism. Republican politics today are a hate movement.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Decompressing from WNBA! Playoff games are more meaningful than preseason games, but now I have the attention span to worry for the rest of the preseason that Kuminga didn't look great after missing the offseason with the team

I still think we're (the Dubs) going to be a contender this year

Don't understand why people defend this, any more than they defended Amy Klobuchar's abusive treatment of her staff

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
