Totally unacceptable but an accident so don’t expect anything to change.

lol. So nothing is going to change.

Ok. My phone autocorrected “Israel” instead of a misspelling of “Israelis”. But again. Never implied all or every. Nor did I write every Israeli rioted.

Dude. I have a top level comment. I wasn’t responding to anyone. I responded to the article into which you read another conversation in the post. That’s on you not me.

I think you have an issue with parsing words on a screen. Nowhere in what I wrote did I say every. I said Israel as a whole would look for every opportunity to level Gaza and displace the West Bank. Israelis are not in the streets protesting the IDF ripping up roads of Palestinian cities in the West Bank. They’re not protesting because there are 40k dead Palestinians (possibly as high as 186k which around 8% of the population). They’re protesting dead hostages.

I never said every. You’re burying your head in the sand about what Israel has turned into. And don’t lecture me on Israel like you have any fucking skin in the game. My grandfather was Israeli. I’m a Jewish refugee in the US. It’s not bigotry to factually point out how absolutely atrocious the views of the majority of Israelis are. And how rooted in bigotry it is.

As a Jew who fled the USSR in the 1980s, I fully co-sign Norman Finklestein‘s (a Jewish intellectual and scholar on the subject who lost his family to the Nazi holocaust) assessment that Israel is a sick society.

In October, 58% Israelis polled said that Israel is using too little firepower in Gaza.

In December, they were polled and asked to what extent should Israel take into account the suffering of the Palestinian civilian population. Over 80% said to a little extent.

I’m Jewish. Go back to policing someone else.

It’s important to understand that this is only because the hostages aren’t returned. If every hostage was returned, Israel would be looking for every opportunity to level Gaza and further displace Palestinians in the West Bank. Israelis rioted for the right of soldiers to rape prisoners.

Edit: Israelis rioted instead of Israel.

Nothing I said is contradicted by bullet point 2.

I don’t take anything. Reported by Israel as accurate. How do we know Wassem Hazem was head of Hamas? The West Bank is controlled by the PLO. We’ve been gaslit by Israel for decades. Now, 11 months into a genocide, nothing Israel says is accurate.

What’s the difference when the IDF is fully providing support for their extreme acts.

A completely sick society.

As a Russian Jew who fled the Russia in the 1980s, my family moved for our safety and opportunity. Countries don’t deserve reverence just for being countries. We can be proud of our heritage without having to show allegiance to a nation state. Especially, when it is using our ethnicity/religion to brutally wipe out and massacre a civilian population.

Just do what is best for you and your family.

Netflix: “Should I get short term profits by price gouging and forcing commercials on people (thereby driving people to piracy) or should I forgo year over year profit increases by continuing to provide decent tv with no commercials and no price increases and delivering consistent profits?”

Also Netflix:

Not sure if that’s what you were referring to.

I like Lulu miller and Latif. I really enjoy the episodes still.

No specific order but:

• Tech won’t save us
• If books could kill
• Search Engine
• Radiolab
• Majority Report
• Bad Faith

It’s a nice to have. But it’s not a $3.5k nice to have.

I already have zoom/teams. I don’t know what a virtual office gets me other than more monitoring tools for my employer. I’m already fully remote. Besides. I do not want to wear a headset for 8-10 hours. I’d go insane.
