Mass casualty incidents caused by the Israeli military offensive in southern Gaza are becoming normalised in the west and leading to a sense of fatalism inside Gaza itself, according to Sam Rose, the director of planning for the Palestinian relief agency Unrwa....
I think calling conservatives "dumb" is needlessly inflammatory, and what's worse, is it's incorrect.
They just fall for a common human failing: confirmation bias, amongst other well known fallacies.
The real question is do we have enough access to cheap green tech? A further, more probing question is: what are we willing to sacrifice to get it? Potential things on the chopping block:
sovereignty
worker rights
national security
a resilient economy
As to the last one, as the recent pandemic showed, consolidating manufacturing to one country/area can make the global economy quite fragile to economic, environmental, societal and political shocks.
I looked at it and despaired how intertwined Israel is in the global economy. A full boycott will be a real sacrifice. You'd be surprised how wide ranging their influence is.
Also known as "a cycle of violence". Or " hurt people, hurt people"
But at what stage is it someone's responsibility to break this most vicious of cycles?
I was referring to their power base. If there was no cultural pain there, there would be nothing to exploit to remain in power so that they an perpetrate this atrocity.
Were the questions phased universally across nations?
Without these questions answered, it's hard to make out what to think about this statistic.
As the saying goes: "lies, damned lies, and statistics".
As it is, It would have been more useful if they allowed respondents a selection of choices. Such as: Don't Know/Care, Neutral, About Right and Not Enough.
Maybe a meta study would have made a better subject for an article.
When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...
While it doesn't have well known artists, indie streaming Resonate prides itself as having the most generous (or at least, close to) payments to artists. To support this, it has an innovative payment model akin to higher purchase. You pay a little for the first listen to a track, but the price increases through subsequent listens. After 9 listens, you own the track outright. The total cost of ownership is around $0.9

I wonder what's different here. Israel has danced over the US's red lines before with such alacrity that they may as well have been an invitation.
"I wasn't gonna, but you drew a red line there. Oh I can't resist."

Something's a bit iffy with this story. Surely, Germany would have made clear the particulars of the ban to Abu-Sitta. If this is the case, is this just a consciousness raising stunt on by Abu-Sitta? If he did know there are ways around the ban.
Could it be that he isn't Schengen banned at all and France is using it as a pretext.

Then they'll have a situation no better than Columbia.
The deal is we won't protest if you divest. If either party reneges on that deal we go back to where we were before the deal. That's the consequence of saying "no".
If the Palestinians show anything, no justice, no peace comes to mind. Say Brown does this assuming the fire is still there, people won't stay silent for long. If a party chooses the path of the authoritarian they need to carry a pretty big stick. And even then, as Israel keeps showing, it doesn't work.
Regretfully, I don't think changing Israel's course is as simple as pulling a lever. Antisemitic, or not.
Though I get the general gist.
Maybe we could improve the meme if we label the lever something. BDS, maybe. And the lever is rusted through so you really need to put your back into it.
They mention the afraid Jewish students, but they didn't cover any Jewish protestors. It makes it seem that you can't be Jewish and protest against the Israeli apartheid and ethnic cleansing. And protest for BDS.
