The land swaps are a very small fraction. Israel offered 94% of the WB in 2008. The land swaps are not to trick the Palestinians into taking worse land. It’s symbolic to show Israel wants to offer 100% of the land that comprises the WB.

The settlers don’t have to move because the Arabs started a war and lost. That’s a consequence of war. Countries are permitted to occupy and lannex land taken in defensive wars and necessary for self defense. And since the WB was illegally occupied by Jordan pre-1967 Israel’s case is all the stronger. The civilian victims have the aggressor to blame, not the responder.

The permanent blockade started in 2007 after Hamas was elected. Israel didn’t unilaterally withdraw from Gaza because it wanted to create a state it had to police. That’s totally illogical because withdrawing from the land made Israel far more vulnerable to attacks. The plan was to wind down control of the border; Israel initially opened its land border with Gaza to encouraged trade. It was making the way for an independent Palestinian state with which to cooperate. And it was doing the same in the West Bank. It was only after terrorist attacks at the land border that it was closed.

Not only underage workers but underage migrant workers. In a factory. Remember the story of the migrant kids found working cleaning up meat packing plants. Until the owners of these companies are thrown in prison it will continue happening and they’ll just say oops we tried but we’ll try harder next time. Here’s a nickel for your troubles.

Nasser mobilized the Egyptian military, ordered U.N. Peacekeepers out of the Egypt, and closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli ships. The closing of the Straits of Tiran was declared by President Lyndon Johnson to be "If a single act of folly was more responsible for this explosion than any other, it was the arbitrary and dangerous announced decision that the Straits of Tiran would be closed."

I feel like that’s a stretch. Even if losses were 300,000, and then maybe a million left the country not to participate in the war, that would probably only half of a percentage point of the population of that age group

Judges give a rating, they don’t just vote for one person, so if they refused to give a rating to just one person because they’re a trans person, wouldn’t that be a valid claim?

This is just all false.

Palestine wasn’t a defeated country, but was part of the Ottoman empire and later the British empire. That region, and many other countries, were carved out in the same period.

Israel has been rejected every step of the way by multiple countries and every country that later signed peace treaties with Israel have been perfectly peaceful with Israel. Iran, Syria and Palestine have been the most not peaceful with Israel and all show terrible human rights. That fact is possibly the most important detail…if Palestinians want peace, they need to first clean up their human right issues.

Tbf, Americans bitch about that a lot all the times. "Them Asians use slave labor" have been a trope since forever. It used to be Japan and now China. Hell, US government recently claimed the Chinese navy is built with slave labor.

Having been employed at a store where a large jackpot was won, I can tell you that the lottery commission has gone over the footage with a fine-toothed comb.

Did you know the lottery machines have a camera in them? I didn't know, either. They caught one of our employees stealing from customers.

"One ticket for the customer, one ticket for myself..." He charged the customer 2x and said the fees went up.

What does any of this have to do with the occupation of the West Bank? Israel's security situation is more secure than it has ever been. What further security justification is there for occupying the West Bank? What justification is there for settling Israelis citizens there?

For God's sake if they are so concerned about terrorism than why are they settling their citizens outside of their sovereign territory in the West Bank and the Golan Heights let's not forget that either

What about any of this changes the fact that annexation of territory through conquest is illegal as is settling your citizens outside of your borders in such land.

Bro scrapped millions of dollars worth of hardware and embarassed many, many senior officers. His career is definitely damaged. The military is small, this kind of shit will follow him everywhere. And good luck flying for a commercial airline with a crash on your record

So why do they bitch about other countries doing that in America?

Edit: Love the fact that I'm being downvoted for pointing out what the rest of the world already recognizes about America's hypocrisy.

Blaming a result of the root problem and not the root problem itself is what keeps us in an infinite loop where this continues to happen and nothing changes. Congress is corrupt why? Congress backed the rail corpos why? Congress engaged in strike breaking (again) why?

You must live a sad, frustrating life. I pity you, I really do.

"Twitter isn't a real place."

Partially, but most of it due to ppp (purchase power parity) which give US dollar massive buying power in China and other countries.

She definitely has that pageant look, for better or worse.

Pageants, pageant people and pageant parents. The worst of humanity.
