  • Exactly. Oregon remains next to last in terms of availability of drug treatment.

    People cite the Portuguese example of how decriminalization of drugs resulted in an overall reduction of addiction, etc., but fail to include how the Portuguese expanded drug rehabilitation services for its citizens.

  • Remember that Hamas and Fatah were opposing parties in the Palestinian political landscape. When Hamas won the election in 2005, it was very clear who the West preferred. Fatah criticizing Hamas is nothing new, and in fact is in line with what to expect, given western support is conditional on them condemning Hamas.

  • Ms. Joly...also said on Monday that the Canadian government had offered to make the Royal Canadian Mounted Police available to investigate allegations of sexual assaults in the region.

    I assume this offer was rejected by Israel. Because any external investigations would lead to many more questions.

    Michal Cotler-Wunsh, Israel’s special envoy for combating antisemitism, castigated Ms. Joly in a response on social media, warning that Canada was creating a “false moral equivalence” that would “fuel rising antisemitism” in the country.

    It's not antisemitism if we're calling out Israelis for sexually assaulting Palestinian men and women.

  • Burning oil to prevent people from burning fossil fuels is certainly a take.

    Carbon is carbon. Burning crude oil puts carbon in the air just like burning petroleum does. The difference is now you've driven energy costs up while wasting the resource.

    Edited to add: so if Saddam burning oil fields in Kuwait was bad, are we also going to admit that Ukraine burning oil refineries in Russia is also bad? Or is it only bad when our enemies do it?

  • The US has taken this new role of fighting proxy wars instead of full on conflict with boots on the ground.

    The other countries in the vicinity may not have the troops to perform an active invasion.

    Besides, Kenya consists of mostly black people, which is what Haiti consists of, so nobody can claim racism can they? /s
