By all means, reveal the evidence that was presented which you claim is being suppressed. I have no problems admitting I'm wrong in the face of substantiated evidence.
The problem is escalation. You fire your shots in self defence, they back off an extra 50' and call in a "shots fired, officer needs assistance" call and suddenly 4 APCs, 20 cruisers and 2 helicopters are surrounding you. Cue sounds of 50 cal freedom suppressors being fired. And because you shot at them even though by the time its all over your body looks like a pile of spaghetti the shooting will be justified with barely a hearing involved.
Because selling a few observation drones during the off years is more than made up for by bombing Iranian terrorist leaders and damage to Shahed production facilities (the far more dangerous 3rd party contribution).
Really, what does terrorist have to do with indiscriminate murder...? You don't know? Really? REALLY? Israel has been putting up with indiscriminate murder of their innocent women and children for a century now and they've had enough.
My guess is this whole shitshow will continue until your side finally says 'hey you know what Terrorism is a lose lose proposition and we should probably stop with this fanatical BS before we watch every one of our loved ones perish because Israel has had enough of our shit".
Surrender, release the hostages, negotiate like civilized people to come to an agreement where both sides acknowledge there is residual pain but are willing to set it aside in the interest of a lasting peace that respects both sides. Or, keep on Jihading until the problem solves itself. Your call.
IF it was forced to be in the 66% CG bracket $16.5k would be taxed at the previously posited 20% resulting in $3300 paid to government so it is a respectable jump in tax owed for those being subjected to it.
First, the bump to 66% only happens after 250k that year so $25k would not trigger the extra 16% eligibility. So standard 50% CG only would be applied. $12.5k taxed at your rate means the min rate which may be something like 20% (this number is a wild guess) so say $2500 paid to the gov. Not as bad as it sounds.
No need to lie. Israel isn't innocent, but Hamas has a demonstrated reliable record of using civilian deaths for their ends. They are counting on your naivete to gain sympathy and support and you're falling for it when in actuality this is their ducks coming home to roost.
Surrender. Release the Hostages. Crisis averted. Do they? Nerp. Instead its "you're killing civilians like we've intentionally aimed for for decades! Unfair plane!"
Best I could find, myself not being fluent in Russian, is this human rights/legal organization still operating in Russia proper which describes the conviction as a result of delivering homemade fliers saying 'do we really need this kind of President'.
