What did Harper do to make your bank account happy? Please refer to specific policies.

This makes no sense. Why would Hamas, that has spent all this effort digging a whole network of underground tunnels use an overground school as a command center?

Oh look, the Israelis did that thing that they always do, and ensured the new guy is someone more hardcore than the previous guy. And then they will act all surprised when the next bad thing happens. And when we say "we told you so, wtf did you expect would happen", they will throw a hissy fit.

European Parliament elections were like a couple of months ago.

Netanyahu will try to fuck things up in Gaza as much as possible because he 100% prefers Trump to Harris.

But now Biden is president and not running. Dark Brandon might just be unleashed like never before.

Sure, provided that the EU, pays reparations to the countries that it gouges the last 50 years, and provided that former colonial European countries, pay reparations to their former colonies.

What, no?

You can't colonize Algeria and then complain about Algerians in France. You can't import gastarbeiter and then complain about Turks in Germany. You can't genocide the Kongo, Namibia, etc and then complain about Africans. You can't keep West Africa in a perpetual chokehold with the franc and complain about the Senegalese.

Basically, you simply can not fundamentally alter the rest of the world to serve your interests and then pretend that you don't have to change yourself.

The funny thing is that the European project as a supra national project is actually perfectly placed to overcome these old wounds by promoting peace and prosperity and encouraging regional integration outside Europe. The basic tenets of Europeanism are wildly successful at promoting peace and prosperity internally. The European experiment seems to have worked and Europe could very well foster similar projects around the world. Instead, they play the role of Vikings...

Prohibition does not work.

If they are serious about combatting smoking, they should medicalize it and treat it like an addiction.

Agree. That's why Israelis should cease fire immediately, dismantle the occupation and apartheid, recognize Palestine and pay reparations. So we can focus on what's actually dangerous to world peace.

None of Israel's allies are true friends of the Israeli people. Because friends don't let friends commit genocide.

They want to provoke all out war. And American evangelicals are salivating...
