Bernie Worrell is amazing, and the backup singers really add a lot to the live performances.

I’m glad they’re talking to students but it’s interesting that the article doesn’t actually interview any Jewish students who have expressed fear or experienced antisemitism within or outside the campus. All we get are assertions by a Jewish student supportive of the protests that all is good.

The Iranian regime is well known for its respect for the sanctity of foreign consulates and embassies. 🙄

Could Smith drop some charges and refile in DC? Or is he potentially saving some classified docs charges to file in another venue? Because I can’t see how her gets a fair trial with Cannon in charge.

Evidence for this assertion? Keep in mind that in most cases “Gazans” aren’t the ones who need convincing, it’s Hamas holding the bulk of the hostages. They have the food, water and fuel they need to hold out, and 2-3 years worth of rockets. They don’t give a shit about ordinary Gazans.

SA being expert on apartheid has no bearing whatsoever on their knowledge of the laws of war. War crimes is an easy term to throw around, but I think SA’s accusations are entirely political. How do they have access to evidence that others do not?

If you're a mainstream outlet and you're being gamed this easily by a guy who is laying out his playbook days or months in advance, maybe the problem isn't the right-wing grifters. Maybe the problem, after all, is the mainstream places that allow themselves to be gamed by carnies.

Investigation by BBC into a Russian influence operation against the US, which included a fabricated claim of UA misusing US funds. Critically: it was immediately and uncritically adopted by MAGA congresspeople to argue in Congress to end US military support to Ukraine.

This is also how the US estimated ISIS militant vs civilian casualties. In a war where the enemy wears civilian clothing and conducts warfare from civilian locations, there’s no other metric to use while the fighting is ongoing.

Did you read beyond the headline? The proposal is for diaspora concerns to be represented in Knesset by one or two MKs. Not to obligate diaspora Jews in any way to serve in the IDF. It would have a small moderating influence on the Knesset IMHO.

There is no accounting for the past that will be agreed upon by all sides. And it’s the presumed need to rectify all past injustices, past claims, etc. that drives the maximalist demands on both sides.

I am strongly against Bibi but I have to disagree with your assessment. The war cabinet consists of more than Bibi. There’s Gantz and Gallant also, and they’re not fascists. Public opinion in Israel is strongly in favor of prosecuting this war. Any PM would’ve done it.

Did you ever consider that the murder of 1,400 Israelis by Hamas might just have something to do with it? 🤡

You give the opinion writing to the Justice who’s most on the fence about joining your opinion, right? As an incentive to join and so they can shape the opinion to their liking.

I do not recall ANY western press reacting to the Charlottesville Neo Nazi march by championing freedom of speech. Sources?

There certainly will be. The question is, will accountability reach higher than the military and intelligence professional ranks, will it include the politicians - specifically Bibi, Likud and far right coalition members?

Assuming Biden’s aims are what he stated publicly- Israel should Hamas, minimize civilian casualties, get done ASAP and have a postwar plan- how does the US abstention or vote in favor of THIS resolution support those aims? I don’t see how it would.

Also, even though Bibi is very unpopular now, it’s unclear that the government will fall when the war ends. It may hang on till 2026.

This seems over simplistic. For one thing, the majority of Jewish voters in Israel are in favor of military action in Gaza to return the hostages and destroy Hamas. Any Israeli government would do essentially what this war cabinet is doing.

ICRC have been problematic a lot longer than that. They wouldn’t even recognize MDA until 2006.

Me too, but Ben-Gvir is bluffing. He knows he will not be part of any subsequent government coalition once this one falls.

Hamas is running out of (non uniformed) women and children hostages to exchange. If they offered women soldier hostages, or men, there might be the opportunity to extend the pause. Otherwise, Israel is determined to get the remaining hostages through military means.
