He said there was overwhelming support in part because they lost control of the narrative on Israel, the only addition to the headline needed is to add the word:
… ban partially intended to ….
If Romney is so afraid of people loosing track of the “realities” on the ground maybe they should consider banning cable news next.
Governments are taking a lot longer, or rather some haven’t changed effective policy at all, looking at Germany, USA, and UK among others.
Of course the exact time of the mood switch is not really relevant, but I did have discussions on here with people trying to rules lawyer the ICJ judgement 3 months ago. Funnily enough their account has gone silent since.
What a hill to die on. They banned Russia; it would have been such an easy and consistent decision to ban Israel too, especially when they started deliberately starving Palestinian civilians. Can’t wait for the PR response the moment this Genocide becomes officially recognized, “wir haben es nicht gewusst“ 2.0
6 months ago I remember feeling the need to respond to so many terrible takes on the major news communities, plus a massive frustration with the discourse in general. This has completely changed, either I’ve become more pro Israel (which I highly doubt) or pro-Israeli voices have become significantly less present in these communities.
What also helps is that the German instance has had trouble lately and is less active, they seem to have quite some trouble accepting the reality that is Israel.
Now don’t criticize Biden, don’t you know he is literally running against Hitler.
(Yes I know Trump is worse than Biden, and no I don’t advocate for not voting)
It’s so interesting how the mood around this conflict can switch so drastically, 6 months ago discussion was mostly ended with the mantras “Israel has the right to defend itself” or simply “it’s complicated” and now memes directly calling for the boycott of Israel are getting massive upvotes.
A party is a party, I’ve said way worse cringe under the influence of alcohol, especially if I was flirting with someone (which it sounds like she is).
Reading the Wikipedia it seems quite unlikely, but then again maybe it’s also written by a bot.
This is gonna be such a bad movie, walk and talks about algorithms that make no sense at all, and every time a woman speaks she is mansplained to dust for the audacity to dare to talk to a man.
Without US support Israel would cease to exist within a year, so the US can do whatever it pleases. Second, the investigation does not need to be performed by a military but can also be done by neutral observers.
I once had a lecture from him and he is a great orator. Sadly turned out he did some #metoo shit with female students.
Having read the Caro books, if there ever was a president with big-dick energy it was LBJ.
