Read the bible and tell me he's wrong. Poor characterization, wandering plot, endless instructions stuffed into the middle of irrelevant chapters, many cases of the main character "God" supporting and encouraging crimes like rape and murder, and it's soooooo long. Brevity is the soul of wit, disciples! Get your shit together and learn to edit.
But we just went over that. The Jewish community has a plurality of opinions, and even though it may be more likely that they support Israel in general, that doesn't mean they (e.g.) don't want a ceasefire or think that weapons sales should stop during a plausible genocide. Assuming otherwise is antisemitic, unless you have evidence?
As for the partner in the middle East I really think this point is bullshit. Why have a partner that's been committing war crimes for 5 straight months now? Well longer, but you know. Does the US actually have bad relations with Jordan, for example? Plus their influence in the region would grow substantially if they openly opposed the apartheid state (which basically all of the middle East doesn't like) and sent that money to someone else instead. I'm sorry I know this is the common wisdom but I really don't get it. "No influence whatsoever" is obviously taking it too far, but even the general point I find questionable
And Jewish people are a monolith and all support Israel? Ironically this is closer to actual antisemitism than someone who hates Israel as a state because of their horrendous actions.
$14 billion in funding for Israel and $100 million in humanitarian support for Palestinian civilians
So he wants to give the people being killed 140 times less the the people doing the killing? Wow.
I suppose bombs are more expensive than bread. Maybe one is easier to go without and maybe one is a humanitarian necessity while the other is a crime against humanity but we can't say anything about that because something something Trump
My favourite is the barn. Hmm what should we call this 10-28 m2 cross sectional area? Ten times less than a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a square metre. Hur hurr wow it's so BIG it's like hitting a barn door, let's call it a barn.
It almost seems like Republicans want potential voters to imbibe neurotoxins that will negatively impact their IQ, harm their ability to concentrate, and make them more easily swayed by emotional appeals. I wonder why that could be?
This is my tin foil hat explanation. Also poor areas with more black and ethnic minority people are more likely to have lead pipes and it leads to increased crime and violence, thus further stoking racial tensions and increasing support for racist policy and therefore republicans
It's like with the hospitals. First hospital was a huge scandal and the whole (contrived) debate about who did it and after that they continued to attack every god damn hospital in Gaza.
Around 400 Palestinians seeking aid have been shot dead by the Israelis in the last two weeks since the so-called “flour massacre” in late February, when 112 people were killed and some 760 injured in Gaza city.
This is evil. There is no excuse and the world should never forgive them.
Good lord that was a frustrating read. Particularly the lack of a response to a clear question and the "oops I can't find the link" I am basing this entire argument on.
Exactly, I really think the best reason to upvote is because the discussion is relevant to the community and interesting and the best reason to downvote is if it's not. And I think most people need that motivation.
Things have already improved on this post, to be fair to everyone, but it's still sitting at zero.
The other commenter Mozz also has a good point about the same accounts posting bad news for Biden over and over again
Only 20% upvotes while a post I just saw putting Biden ahead in a few polls sits at 89%. This one is from a swing state, but just before the state of the union address. Seems very ripe for discussion and definitely relevant to the community.
Why? I think we all know why: bad news for Biden = downvotes. This is how we end up in a filter bubble.
Would help to have more details on the math. I would say try for the W but take the L. If you could do it with the formulas can't you just remember a few important ones? If you only need to pass it might be enough to carry you through.
Imagine you hid a bit of paper successfully (seems difficult on it's own but anyway): how do you check it? There will surely be people watching so you can't go digging around in your shoe.
If you get caught cheating, there is a 0% chance you pass. If you try, the chance is higher than 0.
I don't know the details but I'm sure there's some other way around this where you won't be totally fucked if it doesn't go well
Nobody mentioned Trump. This is about Biden. It is so pathetic that this exact same argument comes out of the woodwork every single time someone rightfully criticizes Biden on this issue. The US is funding a genocide and all you people can do is wring your hands and bitch about how Trump is worse. Biden is the president, and mistakes he makes are on him.
There is no missing context. You are just trying to make this conversation about the election instead of about doing what is morally right and should be expected of any humane, democratic president.
