War crimes of the past, justifies war crimes of today : U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham uses WW2 card to condone Israel's indiscriminate killings— #UNICEF described a ‘war on children’—and the massive Palestinian death toll:


“Tell us how to do it differently. What is too many people dying in #WW2 after Pearl Harbor? Did the American public worry about how many people were dying to destroy #Tokyo and #Berlin? I know it's not the same, but it's similar.”

“Vice President Harris, tell Israel how to destroy #Hamas in a way not to hurt innocent Palestinians... No Republican believes this, by the way, no Republican is telling Israel to change your military tactics.”

Disgusting war criminal: #IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi confirms the military is beginning to operate in southern #Gaza.


"Yesterday, today, we killed [Hamas] battalion commanders, company commanders, and many operatives. And yesterday morning we started the same move in the south of the Gaza Strip. It will be no less powerful than [the operations in northern Gaza], it will have no less results. We have the capabilities to do it in the most thorough way, and just as we did it with strength and thoroughly in the north of the Gaza Strip, we are also doing it now in the south of the Gaza Strip," Halevi says to troops in at the Gaza Division in southern Israel.

In this article Sonia Boulos and Tamir Sorek discuss the policing of the use of the "Genocide" word.

"Abstract: Both societies, Israeli and Palestinian, harbor a collective trauma of annihilation and a national ethos of victimhood. While it is understandable that both sides see themselves as victims of genocidal acts in the current unprecedented wave of violence, when the term “genocide” is used in Western academia and public debates to describe the Israeli attack on Gaza, it is highly policed and is quickly associated with antisemitism. Considering that the Gaza Strip has lost almost one percent of its inhabitants while Israeli leaders use explicit annihilatory language, language policing surrounding genocide has become fatal for Palestinians."

On top of massive economical losses of the war in Israel, the actions of the Yemeni forces have completely stopped all shipment in an out of the Israeli red sea port of #Eilat.

The Israeli economy is suffering, all transport from #Asia to Israel is now have to go around #Africa to avoid passing through the red sea and risk attack or hijacking.

Other than #Hamas and #PIJ, #Yemen military and #Hezbollah are the only groups who have pushed israel hardly that it's now begging US and UK to escalate their presence in the region and act on behalf of Israeli government.

This can cause an escalation of the war beyond the borders of Israel into a global war.

Every time somebody is crassly antisemitic to me in public, my wife is aghast and everybody else acts like I'm made of glass, when I usually am trying not to burst out laughing at what ludicrous, silly, and pathetically ineffectual people they are.

On the other hand, when people are slickly antisemitic, speaking with the power of the violent populism they have at their back, causing my blood to run cold and worry about my immediate and long-term safety, the response is waffling about maintaining relationships (not usually from my wife).

This thought brought to you by an antisemite being escorted out of a (famously Jewish!) restaurant for screaming because he saw my kippah.

Yeah but the residual from this inflationary period is what's killing us.

Sure; 0% inflation last month. So, if we were paying an insane $20+ for a meal at McDonalds last month, this means it will still be $20 this month.

Why so much for a McMeal? Well, could it have something to do with their raising avg wages from $8/hr up to $17/hr in the past 3 years?

My wife and I go out for breakfast on Sundays. Before the wild inflation episode, it usually cost about $23 + tip. Now, its running about $39 +.

0% inflation means that if inflation has been hurting, well, you gonna just keep hurting.

We need to quit talking about "stopping inflation" and start talking about "REVERSING inflation".

Its that, or accept "the new normal". $40+ price tag on Breakfast for Two.

Hooray... they're paying a living wage at McDonalds now.

Hooray.... I can't afford McDonalds anymore.
