From the article:

Israel has created a “permanent condition” for Palestinians in which “one state ruled by one group of people rules over another group of people.” They argue that it is counterproductive to continue to see Israel-Palestine through a two-state framework, given the Israeli-dominated reality that exists on the ground.

There’s an understandable impression that can come from the coverage of the October 7 attack that Israel and Palestine had been at peace, and now suddenly they’re at war. Was the Israeli occupation peaceful for Palestinians prior to October 7?

An expert who gets it. This article was wonderful. Certainly worth the read! Thank you for posting!

Israel could begin by not bombing internationally recognized medivac convoys an hour ago? Since they're the ones doing all the killing at the moment why don't we start there?

Edit: also, was that you just justifying collective punishment, a literal war crime? It's so common now, I almost completely brushed over it.

“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don't protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. ... We lose our lives for no reason.”

Concluding her post, the Academy Award winner called for a ceasefire, writing: "Palestinian and Israeli lives—and the lives of all people globally—matter equally." "Anything that can prevent civilian casualties and save lives most be done," she said.

Although some followers praised the Maleficent star for her statement, which had received more than 777,000 likes at time of publishing, others slammed Jolie for refusing to choose sides.

"How did you manage to say so much without saying anything at all?" said Marcelina Maria.

From the article:

Journalist Taha Bouhafs was arrested while covering a protest in Paris on Oct. 14. “There were very violent arrests, people were getting strangled by the police,” Bouhafs told +972. “I was filming this, and at some point the police came toward me and arrested me. I showed them my press card, but they told me I was not doing a journalist’s job, and that I didn’t have any journalist’s equipment — even though I was using my phone.
“They fined me for participating in an illegal demonstration, even though I showed them my press card,” he continued. “They told me: ‘If we see you again at a protest, we will break your legs.'"

This is becoming an existential fight against authoritarianism.

I volunteered to fight for leopards and then they ate our faces, says lady in an actual leopard shirt. Are we sure the writers strike ended? This just seems so lazy.

A short NYT video (1-2 minutes) of interviews with displaced kids. At a U.N. camp in southern Gaza, children have been forced to flee their homes and live in squalid conditions while trying to make sense of a war with no end in sight.

The ol' "you shot me in the foot so I burnt down your neighborhood and killed your entire extended family" defense. Unbeatable in the court of law.

It was the uncomfortably long soul patch. That's what he did and we deserved it.

Logan Paul is the new spokesperson for Raytheon. The app determined an automatic synergy and decided it was time for you to learn how to buy and sell "shitcoins" and drop $25k on mint quality unopened pokemon booster packs.

It's time to leave your silly Robert and Gareth behind and come join us in the land where showing suicided bodies in a Japanese forest is the new content.

I have nothing helpful to say but being forced to listen to Logan Paul is a flavor of dystopia that even Orwell wasn't cruel or mad enough to imagine. Fingers crossed for you.

Step 1. Poop in a bag.
Step 2. Grab the bag from the bottom and pull it inside out so it's now acting as a poop glove.
Step 3. Shove the poop under their door handle and then use the bag to wipe excess visible poop away.

They might not know it's because of their boot licking but they sure as hell will start thinking about things a little more.

I've seen this on vehicles with children in them. Do y'all think they might be pedo abduction wagons? A lot of them had excessive window tint and it could have been to hide the poor kids! I'll pray on this.
