I mean, Israel has been honest about their intentions from the beginning. It's other governments that are saying otherwise; desperately praying that their citizens have no reading or listening comprehension, so they can funnel more taxpayers' money into enriching weapon's merchants.

Well, we'll find out about other militaries soon enough. Stock prices for weapon's manufacturers have been booming. The US and EU want a convenient weapon's testing ground and a canal to gas fields out of this.

The biggest loser is always innocent civilians at home and abroad.

I finished Barrayar by Louis Mcmaster Bujold and had a really great time from start to finish. Gripping, funny, and just plain thought provoking, I can see why it won a Hugo award and Locus award.

Judging from how brisk weapons sales have been? Not only are these governments complicit, they are delighted at the death of Palestinians.

The settler colonists have so little love for thousand year old indigenous trees the metaphor almost writes itself. They will grow imported pine trees after they're done.

Lol, why are we banning it? Shouldn't Indonesia ban it on their end instead?

Your rendang looks really good!

I remember this case, so glad that their families have finally gotten some closure. The treatment of Orang Asal in this country is just shameful.

They will very literally get cancelled by local government before any nutjob in the public gets to them.

If you skim the guidelines in the document I linked, one of the things artistes must do is submit a copy of all of their lyrics to be checked for inappropriate content. Then there's the clothing guidelines for male and female artistes, behavior guidelines, topic restrictions in banter etc.

After you pass all that, your ticket prices have to be adjusted to the local currency and buying power of the local market. 30% of your crew has to be local (understandable stipulation, but for Singapore you only need minimum 1 local to be hired and paid full salary to scale).

End of the day, we might have the facilities and expertise needed to mount a show, but the hassle is too much for too little return.
