[During the ceasefire, Israel released] 240 Palestinian women and children. The deal…raised questions about why so many children were being held in Israeli prisons. The reality is that the most common charge against children is throwing stones.

An estimated 10,000 Palestinian children have been held in military detention over the past 20 years, with Save the Children noting that they are “the only children in the world who are systematically prosecuted in military courts.” As of Nov. 20, Israeli forces had arrested as many as 880 Palestinian children this year, a practice made possible under Israel’s draconian military laws.

Israel is just sickening. Someone asked me why I consider Israel’s actions as genocide. The treatment of an ethnic group’s children is a key indicator. Israel and genocide Joe have to be stopped.

What, Elon Musk publishing a doctored video making extraordinary claims as a marketing tool? I can’t imagine it.

The Israeli lobby, propaganda machine in heavy attack mode against these protests. They’re scared. The protestors are making a big difference.

Stopping calling anti-genocide movements anti-semitism, unless you want to say that your religion requires genocide.

It’s not defending Hamas, it’s refuting Israeli propaganda.

To give a little longer response, it is disheartening that the only response to that kind of genocide is a audible sigh. Maybe that was fine, but you have that murderer on national TV. Rake him through the coals.

Edit - Thinking more about this - if you had Goebbels on your show during WW2, what would you ask him?

The billionaire hedge fund manager … called the news website’s executive editor John Cook an anti-Zionist who targeted his wife for being Israeli.

There it is, this is what Israeli influence looks like. We have to root it out of America so we aren’t beholden to a nation committing genocide.

Good on the faculty.

We can continue to see Israel’s playbook here. Any criticism of their despicable actions (was genocide ever mentioned in the article?) gets converted to antisemitism.

I hope the protestors keep it up. Force the media outlets to say the word genocide. Don’t let them ignore what’s going on with the Palestinians.

I wrote this in another comment, but Tesla has been known for a long time to game EPA numbers. Here’s an article from 2020 talking about it: https://insideevs.com/news/407807/eletric-car-real-world-range-tested/

Several get below their EPA numbers, but several cars also get higher. Tesla models all get significantly below their claimed mileage.

He died because he didn’t listen to his doctor’s advice. That is somewhat extreme.

Someone mentioned this and it always stuck with me - never trust someone who makes failure collective ("we dug our grave”), but success individual.
