Also, it’s not like the food gangs steal is getting thrown into the sea, or smuggled into Egypt. It is getting eaten by people in Gaza.
When there is a shortage of food, the people with the guns eat first. That is not fair; but it is a waste of energy to be upset at those people instead of the people who made the political decision to have a food shortage.
Are you saying that Israel and the US acted in bad faith when they agreed to Hamas’s more limited counter offer; then pocketed the front loaded benefit of the hostage release before reneging on their half of the agreement?
That would be like agreeing to negotiate so your enemy is not prepared for a surprise bombing campaign. Or bombing the country that volunteered their territory to host negotiations because they were hosting your enemies negotiators.
Or claiming a desire to negotiate while killing the enemy negotiators.
The 20 point plan was never agreed to by anyone. Trump proposed it. Hamas agreed to release the hostages; surrender control of Gaza to a body of Palestinian technocrats.
Disarming was not part of the agreement.
This won’t fly with food. Companies are no longer allowed to use “may contain X” as a catchall. They now need to deliberately add X to their product.
Federal employees are explicitly guaranteed their back pay.
Part of the problem behind the scenes is that the Democrats do not really trust guarantees passed into law anyone, as Trump has been utilizing the recision process to simply not pay money that Congress has explicitly appropriated into law.
Choking. I spend a fair amount of time in kink clubs, and the choking you see casually thrown into random porn would get you thrown out of all of them; including the ones that allow choking.
She did not distance herself from Biden on the subject. As the democratic nominee; heir to the Biden campaign; and then current VP in the Biden administration, this meant that her platform on Gaza defaulted to being the Biden policy.
I agree that I would rather be fighting a Harris administration over Gaza policy instead of a Trump administration. But running as a less bad version of the opposing party is not effective politics.
In that same vein, protesting a former VP from a party that is out of power is also not an effective form of activism.
I’d hardly call it a reveal. It was clear from her reaction in the lunch seen that she was appolled by what is happening in Gaza and offended at the notion that she has anything to do with it.
Not really. This episode didn’t really take any jabs at Netenyahu or Israel.
Sure, Sheila ended up criticizing him. And objectively made good points. But the show treated that as the punchline to turning her into the kvetching mother trope.
China is the most populace country.

It is true that much of the Israeli population is middle eastern. However the political of Israel has been European from it’s founding until today.
The Nuremberg trials prosecuted only 24 people, all of whom were very high level Nazis. This number goes up to around 1700 if you count the subsequent tribunals also held at Nuremberg.
To a first approximation, the treatment of the rank and file was a polite agreement to politely ignore their involvement and move on.
We tried the collective punishment thing after world war 1 with the treaty of Versailles. The impact of that is still a subject of debate, but some historians draw a direct line from it to the Nazis.
There’s a couple of things going on.
The big one is just a massive selection bias in what people take pictures of. I know how to do a functional tie to restrain someone’s hands and feet. I do it plenty. But if there’s going to be pictures, I’m going to go for something more visually impressive.
There is also a constraint aspect in addition to the restraint. A common type of tie is a rope harness that goes around your torso without actually restraining any of your limbs. In addition to the aesthetic, it also squeezes you, which is kind of like wearing a hug.
As far as restraints go, it is surprisingly difficult to fully restrain arms/hands. A simple binding of the wrists leaves a lot of room to maneuver; and unless you are actively trying to pull your hands apart, barely feels like you are restrained at all. Finding a tie that really restraining and holds up [0] against all the wiggling your subject will do is difficult and tends to follow one of a few forms.
Other people don’t particularly care for the being tied part as much as the getting tied part. It can be a rather intimate experience with how close the top needs to be to your body, and the constant tension they maintain through the rope across your body.
And, of course, there are the type of people who are interested in the aesthetics. They tend to be the ones most interested in pictures.
[0] I almost include safe in this list. But given that the tie shown in this picture is probably the most popular, I cannot in good conscience say that.
Words are cheap. Defense lawyers are supposed to make every plausible argument, even if they know it will be rejected. This is mostly for appeal purposes. They don’t want their client to be in a position 20 years from now where the Supreme Court overturns the dual sovereign doctrine; but their client cannot take advantage of it because his trial lawyers failed to preserve the issue.
Also, as the Judge points out, there is state double jeopardy law that is stronger. However, it is procedurally too early to attempt to invoke it.
Under current law, you would need to kill 22 people before replacements can be appointed. Possibly less if some of them are not constitutionally eligible to be president; but if it ever got to that point, I suspect we would ignore that provision.
Pulling this off is made even more difficult by both the heightened security given to everyone in the line of succession; and the fact that under our continuity of government plans, those people are deliberately never all in the same place at the same time.
Anything that could accomplish a full decapitation strike would likely require marshall law anyway, and would likely make the conditions for an election difficult.
New hires are often worse than useless. The effort that experienced developers spend assisting them is more than it would take those developers to do the work themselves.
If you are running an AC, you might be able modify it to reduce the humidity.
AC units naturally dehumidify (as TC points out, they are essentially the same thing as traditional dehumidifiers). However, the amount of moisture they pull out is mostly related to how long they are running, not how cold they can get. This means that if you have an overpowered AC, you get less dehumidifying effect because the AC is on less.
Some ACs let you reduce their power, which will increase their duty cycle and increase the amount of water they pull out of the air. It also helps improve their lifespan as they need to cycle less.
The Westbank is part of Israel. Various parties have their own motivations for pretending otherwise. But the facts on the ground are a one state reality. And that singular state is an Apartheid one.
I had a similar realization when studying undergrad linguistics.
One of the classes had us read Chomsky’s “Remarks on Nominalization” paper. The overwhelming sense I got from it was that the author did not understand X-Bar theory, despite knowing that Chomsky was the one who came up with it (and not realizing at the time that this paper was essentially Chomsky’s first paper on the subject).
I will also say that it is a credit to his writing that the paper still holds up pretty well; even if it spends an entire section coming up with bad answers to what was literally a syntax 201 homework assignment.
