Warning:
Some oleophobic Israeli settler will come pull out this olive tree, just out of spite.
Last night I planted an olive tree at Gracie Mansion with Palestinian families from Gaza.
May peace be our future.
William, a 9-year-old Armenian Christian boy, was pepper-sprayed by Israeli Jewish extremists while riding his bike in Jerusalem on Yom Kippur.
He was listening to music when the terrorists approached him menacingly and told him to remove his headphones.
They heard him speaking English, and one of them said "No English, Jews!", and attacked him.
You can hear his mother trying to comfort him, reassuring him that his little sister Arev is okay.

While state delegates walk out of Netanyahu’s speech at the UN General Assembly, Mitsotakis goes out of his way to meet and hug him. The shame of this. The ignominy. The disgrace. Don’t you dare pretend you represent Greek people Mitsotakis. You represent only your own obscenity.

"Of course we're conflated"
Neocon David Frum all but confirms he was acting on Israel's behalf when he wrote Bush's notorious "Axis of Evil" speech, plunging the US into a war which killed 1 million Iraqis & left thousands of American soldiers maimed or killed
Very dangerous

If a country (Zionistan) needs to spend 800 million dollars for an image problem, its problem is not an image problem.

Actually, come to think about it, academia is populated with wimps & gamma males good at taking tests but crippled with a total absence of imagination.
If you are good at scoring on IQ tests, but not particularly imaginative, AI is in the process of making you obsolete.
Congratulations to @AkbarSAhmed, whose book, CROSSING THE RED LINE, is out today.
Especially as Biden administration officials try to whitewash their reputations, Akbar's detailed reporting provides a vital resource for those who want to hold them accountable.

This is how New York Jews are “welcoming” the Prime Minister of a foreign country called Israel.
Israeli soldiers took a PR photo with a Palestinian grandma and when they were done, they shot her in the head and executed her.
What a sick and deranged country.
Markets go from squeeze to squeeze, from sucker to sucker, from trap to trap.
After 30 years Spitz finally learned to communicate the complex market path dependence using the F bomb.
He is saying that the market will hurt the highest number of investors by producing yuuuge traps, w/rallies when things get grim, before a severe collapse.

This is a trap for people who try solving it using √2^x=x and find 2 since it is also true for x=4.
This formula may look a bit strange to you, but that is the beauty of mathematics—sometimes you get a mathematical result in an astonishing way.

Western journalists are opposed to Arab dictatorships if they are not approved by Israel, and totally in favor of those dictatorships if they don’t bother Israel.
A friend turned enemy will remain so forever.
Next step: Israel less and less called a "Jewish State" but a Zionist one --since it is analog to calling "Christian State" a Crusader one.
The collapse in public support for Israel could trigger a financial and economic war against the Jewish state. The architecture for it is already taking shape.
My latest:
Went from +51 to -16. And this is just starting.
Soon anything that touches Israel will be shun like a leper.
CNN: “Israel’s favorability all negative — not just with Dems, the general electorate has turned against Israel… not just a left issue, an American issue… a SIXTY-SEVEN POINT SHIFT AGAINST ISRAEL…”

A real intelligence test: if one can figure out that someone was hacked and avoids falling into a trap.
The Palestinians are the closest descendants of ancient Israelites as well as other original inhabitants of the land —all timescales, ancient, medieval and modern.
The rest is a detail.
