There is only so much space on a protest sign, I'm not even sure what they actually mean. I'll just explain what it means to me.

I just want civil rights for the Palestinians. Everyone deserves to be represented by a sovereign government. The Palestinians are denied this right by Israel. Israel has not made a good faith attempt in decades to resolve this, because it's incompatible with their goal of taking all the land for themselves. Driving the Palestinians off of their land is not a solution, that's ethnic cleansing. The Palestinians should be allowed to live on their ancestral land.

A solution could take the shape of two independent states, a single unitary state or some kind of federal construction as a middle ground. I don't even care which solution they agree to, they'd have to figure that out among themselves. But if they opt for a two state solution those 700.000 colonists need to fuck off out of the West Bank. The Oslo accords dictate which areas belong to whom in a two state solution.

If the Israelis don't want this they need to accept a solution where the Palestinians are represented in the government of all of Israel. I suppose in a way you could say that would be the end of Israel as we know it, but that doesn't mean they'd have to leave. They would just need to accept that they live in a multi-ethnic country. UN peacekeepers would likely have to hang around for decades.

I don't see any fair solution that isn't somewhat disadvantageous to Israel, but they kinda brought this on themselves.

I think only prions can spread through meat

Edit: I'm obviously wrong, salmonella exists. Also a quick Google search says viruses can also be transferred through meat

A slice of pear might work. Or even apple but you'd have to fry it first

Well I mean he's interesting as a case study, his decisions have real world implications and it seems like he's on a path to a meltdown that many people would love to witness in real time

And are a menace to society

It seems one needs to raise twins with a healthy dose of individuality or risk them becoming emotionally stunted in their development and being overly dependent on one another. Weirdly, this is the second time I've seen a video of Australian twins who are way too in to it

Similar stories about whooping cough and measles made the news in the Netherlands as well. Although in addition to blaming Covid here it was also pointed out that some people fail to see the importance of traditional vaccines because they've been so successful, nobody knows anymore how dangerous and debilitating such diseases can be

Add it to the list of atrocities committed committed by a government my country still backs

And a full retreat from the West Bank as well

The entire World is in a dire position with climate change and all that. The USA turning inwards to settle it's culture war will have global ramifications. It's already happening

Imagine the arrogance of leaving your country to avoid military service only to run a clandestine racist tourism business in your host country

Well said. It's like the Israeli government actively want the Palestinians to radicalize, so they can double down on their violent policies in order to get rid of them and ultimately annex all occupied Palestinian territories. They're effectively sacrificing the safety of their own people to avoid a two state solution.

May the Lord open

1. Oppress people until they get violent
2. Be surprised when oppressed people get violent
3. Kill as many as you can get away with
4. Say the oppressed people can't be trusted and take their land as a buffer zone or to punish them or whatever
5. Oppress them some more until they get violent again, so you can kill more and take their land

US democracy is on thin ice. Enough people are willing to overlook any of the stuff mentioned in this discussion and vote for Trump to flip the elections if Biden fucks up anything. Literally anything, like stumbling over a fold in a rug or forgetting a name.

The only time I replace electronics anymore is when something breaks or when I'm gifted someone else's hand-me-downs

When Serbia started their campaign in Kosovo, NATO bombed the shit out of them until they stopped.

I'm not saying we should be bombing Israel but the double standard is painful to watch
