“The capture of dozens of Israeli soldiers and civilians — elderly women, children, entire families — by Hamas militants has stirred Israeli emotions more viscerally than any crisis in the country’s recent memory and presented an impossible dilemma for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government.” https://apnews.com/article/palestinians-israel-military-prisoners-hostage-hamas-soldiers-e75729364f8c0b453da272365c16d136

RT @davidzipper Steve Cliff is right: Tesla is endangering every American walking, biking, or inside another car.
So why didn’t he do something about it when he ran NHTSA ?

Israel has an established right to exist by international agreement at the time Israel was founded, but on the terms that it was founded. Today's Israel is non-compliant to the terms of its established right to exist.
Legit modifications to those terms were in 1967 and Israel scoffed at that--and Israel has benefitted from its dispute of "disputed borders" ever since.
The Israel envisioned by today's right wing extremists in Israel's government is not sustainable and Israelis realized this years ago.
Being a Jew gives you automatic citizenship but when you try to move there, you'd find that it was already overcrowded with sky high rent & cost of living, which is another reason why Israel wants to grab real estate belonging to other people demanding that the world recognize some deed to the land that their religion's God gave them, even if you're a goy, which is bonkers.
Nobody's God Deed is legit.
But this left the door open to Iran to do its dirty deeds in the name of Palestine. A pox on both houses.
Netanyahu bears responsibility: | Haaretz
“The prime minister, who has prided himself on his vast political experience and irreplaceable wisdom in security matters, completely failed to identify the dangers he was consciously leading Israel into when establishing a government of annexation and dispossession…while embracing a foreign policy that openly ignored the existence & rights of Palestinians.”

This hour I was very impressed by the analysis of the Israel/Hamas situation by Rev. Al Sharpton in his handling of interviews. The questions he asked were pointed and spot on and he wouldn't suffer hem/hawing around them.
While he's a Civil Rights champion and recognizes the brutality of Israeli occupation, he won't take his eyes off the elephant in the room: Iran. The cross-border fingerpointing won't work with him. Kudos.

Many of the shows you go to (likely unmasked) are run by #techs who are struggling with #LongCovid. Trust me. I'm one of them. And I'm not the only one of them in this room.
Please, if you go into crowded public spaces like concerts and films, #WearAMask.

Quite remarkable that, if these reports end up being confirmed, this was a widely planned attack, and that #Mossad seemed so unprepared.
“Details of the operation were refined during several meetings in Beirut attended by #IRGC officers and representatives of four Iran-backed militant groups, including #Hamas, which holds power in #Gaza, and #Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group and political faction in Lebanon, they said”

“Starlink now comprises more than half of all satellites in orbit, and SpaceX is seeking regulatory approval for 30,000 more.“
I just don’t understand why this is allowed. This will pollute the night sky immensely. Ground based light pollution is bad enough but now we have it from orbit as well. There needs to be an EPA for space. Something like this would never be allowed on Earth itself.
