On a linguistic note: Isn't the word "drops" a bit ambiguous here? They mean he abandoned the idea. But colloquially, to drop something can also mean to release something. To drop an album for example.

> ANKARA: President Tayyip Erdogan's government is inclined to hold Turkiye's elections as scheduled in June, having cooled on the idea of postponing due to this month's devastating earthquake, three officials said on Wednesday.
> The government official said a May election, as Erdogan previously planned, would leave little time for election authorities to prepare and make logistical arrangements for the voting of those affected in the quake zone, home to some 13 million people.
> Another senior Turkish official also said the idea of postponing the elections had been shelved.

Even during a state of emergency?

He can’t. The elections can not be held later than June 2023.

The extreme left in Norway is buying the Hersh story hook, line and sinker.

Why? Because only the US could have a nuclear program?

Lol, I'm good on the minimal to non-existent benefits that come from funding Israeli terrorists considering the damage they do. This sort of thinking is so shortsighted and braindead, it's sad that it's so prevalent.
Let's also not pretend like the US funding Israel is anything more than Christian Evangelists trying to fulfill a prophecy or politicians trying to avoid the ire of the pro-Israeli SuperPACs. Or did they not teach you that between geocidal campaigns? I'm just assuming you're from Israel, considering your strange post history.

This is a good sign. It means that for the first time they're having to actually compete with the PR coming over the border. It means that the people are asking why the government isn't taking free money that ten years ago they would not have even known was on the table.

Lmao the US should get involved even if it wasn’t for Israel’s security.

You do know that the US benefits from the funds they give to Israel, right? Or they don’t teach you that between shootings in high schools

Reply to comment by npr in I spent a year preparing for a reporting trip from Senegal to Morocco to Spain. My team and I set out to connect three of the biggest stories of our time: climate change, global migration, and the rise of far-right political leaders. Now that we’re back, AMA! by npr
If I understood your statement correctly, Spain is one of the European countries that think of Africans as invaders. Kind of ironic considering the Spanish Conquistadors culled the native populations (Aztecs, Mayans, Inca, etc.) of what is now Central America and South American many centuries ago.
Keep up the GREAT work Ari Shapiro!

It's a shame that he fell to his death from the one story house, after rolling down his steps and into an unmarked Sprinter van before mysteriously being ejected as they were passing a tall cliff in the outskirts of Dead General's Bluffs.

Perhaps space and matter are infinite and we only have localized big bangs every now and then here and there.
