Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Netanyahu is losing the support of American Jews. When I spend time with my local Jewish community the manner in which Netanyahu is described is scathing. If Netanyahu loses the support of American Jews he will lose American support. Note Chuck Schumer's speech calling for Netanyahu to be replaced ...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
No he hasn't, because there's basically no chance of the US not supporting Israel and as the article mentions Netanyahu has gotten away with this sort of bullshit for a long time. Netanyahu clearly believes that Biden is his bitch and will bend over and accept anything he does or says with every bit...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
What Ralin said. Also, the number one thing that they are afraid of "being told what to do that goes against their religion" is probably "speak politely to women, and don't spit on them." I'm given to understand they also like to attack immodestly dressed women (which means basi...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
I dunno, somehow it feels like these ppl should do more to... Make peace with Palestine? But the impression I'm getting is they are fine with what the government is doing in Gaza doing it as long as they are not the ones in the army, which actually seems even worse, at least the other Zionist parti...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
I can think of two occasions off the top of my head, like when they shot dead some Israeli hostages that had managed to escape their captors, and another when they shot dead a guy waving a white flag while moving towards them, this was filmed by a news crew that was present. And there was this deli...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Their solution, which is being carried out in the most ham-fisted way imaginable, is to reduce the population of Gaza to zero. What exactly does 'ham-fisted' mean here? To me that implies that they're being sloppy or inefficient about doing it and that doesn't really seem to be problem. How they th...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
ISIS is still claiming responsibility for the attack. It's the "why" that confuses me. Because they (read: someone somehow associated with ISIS) found someone pissed off or bitter or whatever enough to do it and that happened to be right now. ISIS has no reason not to take credit for a go...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
So coming back around on this thread let me just asking the question, how exactly is the House Bill any more legal than the last three attempts to Ban Tiktok? Before they just had Sinophobia and racism. Now they have Sinophobia, racism and old politicians who can't understand why the young people a...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
BUT, along your vein, the safer thing for the US government to do would be to declare 'any company working with TIKTOK, in any capacity, will be investigated for being an US Security threat'. (I can also see them 'any individual workng with Tiktok....) Now, instead of those nice legal protections e...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
Well, yes - if a Russian invasion is perceived to be a large and immediate existential threat then it makes a lot of sense that people who might otherwise be at each other's throats could team up to tackle that threat. Doesn't mean they like each other. Doesn't mean they won't go back to fighting e...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
The Ukrainian far-right has never been 'at war' with Zelensky because the factions Zelensky represents have never been at war with them. This focus on the President personally is infantile and ignorant. Of course far right forces are going to leap at the opportunity to further aggrandise themselves...

No one is buying you shit when you say "Ukraine has a pretty obvious Nazi problem" when you can't actually point to any of the nazis calling for genocide since the jewish person was elected in the country. Being a Nazi is calling for genocide. That's very much the point of Nazism. Barring...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
Wow, you're a moron. That's how you get around government bans and blocks in the US and Canada (probably most of Europe too). Example - Contractor that owes the government money and they are garnishing your wages? Set up a corporation, and have that corporation bill people for your services, and th...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
And all you have to do is set up a third party company for billing purposes to bypass the ban. Guys it's fine, just set up a third party company now that the United States Congress has gone through the trouble of banning you specifically from operating in the US on national security grounds. It's e...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
Banning a website doesn't mean making it physically impossible to access. Most people won't be willing to bother with a VPN, and obviously it affects their ability to do business in the country in question.

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
Word of mouth, but I heard a disproportionate amount of Palestinian and pro-Palestinian content is making the rounds on TikTok. Wouldn't be surprised if that gives the usual Sinophobia behind this more wings than the last time they tried to ban it

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
It's great to hear that Russians opposed to the war are taking up arms against Putin.
Just checking, they aren't Nazis or something, are they? It would be better if they weren't Nazis.

Here in Belgium there is compulsory voting, but voting is done anonymous. In Russia that doesn't seems to be the case. Wow I've never heard that. Do you have a source handy?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_voting
Why are people acting like being required to vote is some special Russian tyranny move instead of something also done by noted fascist dictatorships Australia, Singapore and Belgium?
