The terrorist state of Israel. Anyone who supports the state of Israel’s actions at this stage of things is a terrorist sympathizer.

And when I talk about Israel being a direct threat to Americans citizens, this is part of what I’m talking about.

Yes, I know this happened in the UK and not the US, but the principle still applies.

Getting really old and also going to backfire spectacularly. Israel has pretty much completely lost support of younger Americans (can’t speak for UK). Once those younger generations age into politically power, we’re going to see a major shift.

You go too far!

No, I had it right the first time.

The “3 dots” menu is sometimes referred to as a “kebab menu” if the dots are vertical and a “meatballs menu” if the dots are horizontal. I think it’s weird, but I have heard it used in instructional videos before.

Yes, this is probably my single biggest one. Particularly:

opt out of those you’re done with (say your post/comment got popular and you’ve had your fill from the replies).

Of course they are. No lives matter when there is money to be made. The pursuit of profit overrides all other principles.

What does it mean when a “democracy” supports genocide?

I believe so, and that is a really bold thing for them to publish regardless of one’s opinion on the situation.

Right or wrong, I used to consider BBC to be one of the less biased news sources, at least compared to U.S. news outlets.

Well, they may still be less biased comparatively, but that is a very low bar.

If western govs refuse to impose real legal sanctions that actually have some teeth, then our only resort is for the general public (including organized non-gov groups) to impose social sanctions.

I’m not doubting the efficacy of their intel, but I am doubting the accuracy of what they release to the public. They push a ridiculous amount of propaganda and straight-up misinformation.

They should stand down, I think pressing further is a fool’s errand. Not much to gain, but a lot to lose.

Can’t we synthesize omega-3?

This would seem to suggest that Israel’s attack was neither minor as Iran had claimed but not devastating either as Israel had claimed.

If it was minor, Iran may just ignore it to de-escalate. If it was devastating, Iran would probably not want another exchange. Then again, my assessment may be completely off base.

Why should they protest about something that they agree with?

It’s easy to protest something when the government is on your side. And also just pointless virtue signaling.

I don’t suspect there is much Russian goods sold in the U.S.

I remember going to buy alcohol some time in the months after Russia began attacks on Ukraine. The liquor store marked the nation of origin on their vodkas and said they had pulled all Russian ones from the shelves.

I concluded a while back that no lives matter to those in charge. We are all expendable if it furthers the goals of power and the almighty dollar.

Once you accept this, other things start to make more sense.

Pinky to mouth: “20 Brazilian dollars”

I’m not going to try to figure out what that number actually is.
