Good point. Sorry if it wasn’t clear, I agree with your above point that Israel is violating the spirit of the deal. I think the international community is starting to see Israel was holding off on their end which is why the second round of hostage releases was delayed.
US officials have spoken with their Israeli counterparts and found the Israelis have no long term plan. They’ll hit Gaza and then have no plan for after that. It won’t solve the longterm problems or make peace any easier. It’s just a Pyrrhic victory they’re going for by this point.

Good question. It’s unfortunately difficult because it requires some knowledge of history and since there’s a cycle of back and forth violence (which most media only reports the latest episode and not what prompted it), it’s hard to follow the big picture.
Good, the government should take this down, or allow people to challenge their inclusion. We have documented story after story of people being added to this list by abusive people and even ex boyfriends and it causes havoc in people’s lives. Theres no way there’s 1.5 million terrorists that fly domestic flights.
I care a lot about what other people think (not good) and if someone tries to help or helps me, I can’t stay without saying thank you. I really want to thank people who comment on my posts.

There’s a lot of trolls and bad people out there. When talking to people or debating someone, a handy tip is to try to assume the other person is acting in good faith until they give you a reason to doubt them. That way you’re not attacking a person for asking a legitimate question.

Its original release was considered a flop in theaters (it didn’t live up to box office expectations despite positive reviews) but it became a cult hit.
Yes, there were basically 3 versions released, including one with her writing about her puberty changes. Her father left those sections out when he published her book, but a later version added them in.

We need to treat the rightwing Israeli government like the pariah that they are. If North Korea was selling tools like this there would be consequences. Meanwhile Israel repeatedly sells Pegasus and other hack tools and spies on democracy activists.

OJ killing someone was a solo act, not a conspiracy. Kavanaugh acted alone, also not a conspiracy. Deniers of both have some wild conspiracy theories that shadowy figures planted evidence.
You missed the point. OJ killing someone was a solo act, not a conspiracy. Kavanaugh acted alone, also not a conspiracy. Instead, deniers of both have created some wild theories that shadowy figures coordinated planting evidence for ulterior motives, that is a conspiracy theory. Whether you believe OJ did or didn’t do it is not a conspiracy either way.
I was replying to your examples of OJ and Kavanaugh, not sure why you made an upthread comment but whatever.
From Wikipedia:
A conspiracy theory is an explanation for an event or situation that asserts the existence of a conspiracy by powerful and sinister groups.
A conspiracy, also known as a plot, is a secret plan or agreement between people (called conspirers or conspirators) for an unlawful or harmful purpose.
It always has to be MULTIPLE people. A single person cannot, by definition, do a conspiracy. OJ Simpson acting alone cannot be engaged in a conspiracy. Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulting his classmate makes him a criminal but the act is still not a conspiracy. (If you believe the Jews or the CIA made him do it or framed him for their goals, then that would be a conspiracy theory). How many comments do we need to go back and forth to explain basic English definitions?
Are you trolling? I just gave you the definitions of the term conspiracy theory. What are you even going on about? Are you trying to argue a specific conspiracy? Go troll somewhere else.
The video is going around Twitter and it’s really bad, they intentionally hit a car while laughing and taunting the driver they hit, then they intentionally hit and kill a cyclist.
They don’t actually care about Hunter or even the charges; heck they probably don’t even agree with the gun background check law he broke. They just want a way to go after Biden and take him down. They want something to make him unpopular and rally the rest of the normal public behind so they can get him to lose. Once he’s out of the picture they can have their way on Abortion or Immigration or whatever their single issue voting topic is.
It’s become a party of resentment. Doctors tell them they’re wrong so they resent doctors. Colleges tell them that their ideas are historically inaccurate and broken so they resent colleges. Artists and celebrities criticize their ideas and politicians so they resent artists and celebrities. Athletes don’t go along with their beliefs so they resent athletes. When Trump won, they had lost multiple presidential elections in a row and he promised that he’d get even with all those people. He harassed athletes and celebrities and cut funding to colleges and doctors, all because of resentment.
GOP is nothing but the party of grievances. They didn’t even discuss policy at the last debate.
Even further back than that. The Bible celebrates Samson committing a suicide attack on the Philistines. The Jewish far right praises modern Israeli terrorists like Baruch Goldstein by comparing them to Samson.
Despite the clickbait and predictable outrage from the far right, the BBC originally published l an article titled “the story of suicide bombers throughout history: From the fanatical Jews, through the assassins, to the jihadists.” Suicide attacks go back as far as the Bible, as I said above.
Did you read the original? On the anniversary of 9/11 they published a side article talking about a timeline of suicide attacks throughout history. The Jewish far right objected that they were listed among the others (even though they literally celebrate those fanatics).
The logic, whether or not you agree with it, is that drugs in general are hazardous and can kill or disable you, and they contribute to a black market and all the related crimes of drug trafficking and addiction. So punishments aren’t for drug use but for possession and trafficking.
Edit: to all the downvoters, I’m not advocating for draconian drug laws, I’m just answering OP’s question on why cops and lawmakers have such a policy and the logic behind it.
