Surprising Biden, who went on TV and told the world that he helped do the genocide for Bibi and should be appreciated.

File under "It's Okay When Israel Does It: Entry #6367821 (October 2024)"

AIPAC IS FRONT LINE AND CENTER. Leaked documents from start of the war show that a literal AIPAC lobbyist and now ambassador to Israel, Lew, kept arguing early in the war that Israel's subsequent campaign to wipe out Gaza would be "humanitarian."

Well... a country without "elites" and only farmers will very quickly find itself with a set of elites, from another country, who can organize their farmers to take and conquer others' farmland.

Which country is that?

Great question. See, a farmer can't stay behind and command the state because he is a farmer. The heads of state and the elite cannot all perish in trenches because then all that would remain are farmers. Established heirarchy for organizational power was invented probably by whatever primates we evolved from, and is observed among even some other species of primate.

It's called the division of labor. You can't have the guy in charge of running things get turned into Beefaroni in a foxhole.

Iran blowing up Nevatim airbase (where US shipments of bombs mostly came in) is a moral victory regardless of their reasons. Better use of their power than helping Assad treat his own citizens in a slightly-less monstrous way than what's been done to Gaza. Reminds me a bit of when Trump struck Syrian airbases actually.

Also a show-y, escalatory move from a morally dubious power but nevertheless was appreciated by us who actually live in this region and know people slaughtered in merciless airstrikes.

It's funny how America voted for Obama and now has Bush' foreign policy anyways.

How many? Because at this point Israel has proven that less than ten were "Hamas terrorists", and only one of those was proven to be an actual combatant and not just a desk jockey.
