The Israelis need to whip out the Cat D-9's and start bulldozing the houses of the terrorist underbelly occupying Israeli land in Gaza. The Arab Israelis calling themselves "palestinians" are being put to the torch. They all gotta go...Jordan, Iraq, Egypt...who cares

"..New, from me: The GOP tried to blame Biden for the Hamas attacks. These lies generated the headlines they wanted, and distract from how GOP dysfunction really does limit US capacity to respond with funding bills, diplomacy, and military support.."

"..In their book “The Dawn of Everything,” David Graeber and David Wengrow provide multiple accounts by early European settler colonists of the indigenous societies they encountered in the woodlands of northeastern North America.

Over and over, these Europeans noted that these societies were well and truly stateless, lacking rulers, laws, courts, police, prisons, or anything like what they were used to in Europe.

They quote one Jesuit, writing in 1644 about the Wendat:

“I do not believe that there is any people on earth freer than they, and less able to allow the subjection of their wills to any power whatever – so much so that Fathers here have no control over their children, or Captains over their subjects, or the Laws of the country over any of them, except in so far as each is pleased to submit to them. There is no punishment which is inflicted on the guilty, and no criminal who is not sure that his life and property are in no danger…”.."

"...❝ Gaza has also been under debilitating siege for 16 years, which has taken a heavy toll on its people but has failed to destroy their will to resist. The blockade was imposed after Hamas won the Palestinian Legislative Council elections in 2006, but its Palestinian rival, Fatah, along with Israel and its backers conspired to prevent it from taking power.

❝ There is nothing surprising about Hamas’s operation..."

"...Florida lawmakers to consider weakening century-old child labor laws..." --Republicans, not "Florida lawmakers" which implies both sides.


".." 'If employers are having a hard time attracting people, they should try to provide better working conditions before they turn to 15-year-olds. '… Once you weaken laws in response to some temporary situation, it’s not likely that they’re going to be switched back.' ”.."

"..I have no idea how to address what is happening in the Gaza strip except to say that a lot of innocent people are dying violently at the hands of a terrorist group and a right wing government gone completely off the rails.

One is no better than the other.."
