How does one even begin to have a hypothesis to even decide to test this? Why does one? Any answer feels like it would be morally questionable or involve a fetish of some kind.

If you notice, there was basically no actual news coverage of this march, forcing me to use this really short article to post about it. The news seems to have actively avoided covering it in any fashion.

Sorry, but no. A hospital director kidnaped and tortured by the IDF and made to make a statement under duress isn't a credible source of information. Just like how I wouldn't believe the claims of an IDF soldier kidnapped by Hamas if he said the IDF ate babies or something.

Something they've yet to substantiate, as the Washington Post showcased yesterday. Conflating taking two injured hostages to a hospital on October 7th and tunnels that were built by Israel themselves in the 80's does not a base make.

But the IDF have clearly determined they don't need to show evidence of any kind and can make any claims they want, even when easily debunked by others, because there are no consequences for lying.

How is saying that Israel should stop bombing hospitals the same as glorifying terrorism?

Oh, I'm sure they'd still try something incredibly dumb.

If they try to still put him on the ballot, Colorado should treat it as if he isn't on there and announce the second place Republican as the winner for the state's primary.

How does this work out, legally speaking, when it comes to state certification via electors of the President? If he did somehow win, would Colorado just not recognize him as President within their borders?

Has there ever been a case like this where a state didn't allow someone on the ballot for President and they still won, outside of going all the way back to Lincoln?

How does that work, legally speaking? Have we ever had a President in the past century that had states that didn't allow them on the ballot? Outside of having to go all the way back to like Lincoln times.

It would certainly be interesting to see the long-term ramifications if they tried.

Here's more on the 12 year old that was murdered. Her family had been killed by the IDF a couple days ago and she had to have her leg amputated. She was still somehow optimistic and hoping to get a prosthetic leg in the future to be able to walk again and be a doctor when she grew up to treat other children like her.

This article is over a month old, violating the 30 days rule of this instance. Please don't post old news and put it off as something new. There's plenty of actually new articles about Israeli settlers attacking people in West Bank.

Here's a statement by Layla Moran where updates from her relatives in the church have shown that IDF soldiers and tanks have surrounded the church in the past two days and are still shooting anyone who goes outside of it or near the windows. Several of the wounded have already died as they have no medical supplies or food or water and the electrical generator was already destroyed by the IDF.

The toilets are in a separate external building, by the way, so they can't even access the bathrooms without risking being murdered.

Isn't Ben-Gvir the person who purposefully vandalized the former PM Rabin's car and who was suspected of having connections to those involved in assassinating Rabin?

Here are the women in question, by the way. They shot the older mother ("grandmother") first and her daughter, the middle-aged woman, tried to drag her to the church before the IDF shot and killed her as well.

Good timing, I was literally editing my original comment to note that when you posted at the same time!

The hypocrisy of the Heinrich Böll Foundation (and the German government in general) is incredible.

Here you have a Jewish person who is a journalist and a renowned political thinker who was being given the award for being someone who "reports on power games and totalitarian tendencies as well as civil disobedience and the love of freedom".

They 100% have the position, right, and accuracy to be comparing the state of Gaza currently to the WWII ghettos.

Edit: Something else to note. The Foundation made this statement ""But Masha Gessen's views should not be honored with a prize intended to commemorate the Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt".

And I can't help but laugh. Do they not know Arendt's past stance on Israel? She was literally one of the first world-renowned Jewish anti-Zionists.

She literally compared the Likud party to the Nazis!
