  • The ultra-orthodox have wanted this for a long time and it’s one of the reasons Israel’s government was trying to curtail the power of the judiciary. You may remember there were protests in Israel over last summer over this.

    This isn’t about Pacifism, but more about autonomy and seclusion. I don’t think they mind exposing their youth to bombs and bullets as much as exposure to cosmopolitan ideals they get from mixing with Israel’s more secular youth. It’s similar to the impetus for religious parents to do home-schooling in the US.








  • Waland is the British half of the mega corp Waland-Yutani. Sometimes called Wa-Yu, or simply “the company”

    Founded by Charles Bishop Wayland, the totally not evil billionaire industrialist, Wayland LLC was known for energy production, computer technology, and planetary terraforming before it was acquired in a hostile takeover by the Japanese Yutani corp in 2099.


  • Countries that have to jump through hoops to get their hands on, or sell sanctioned goods is an example of sanctions working.

    Y’all remember back in 2022 when certain items were hard to get a hold of because of supply chain issues? You could still get what you wanted through the one weird trick of paying a premium for it. And that was a significant factor in inflation.

    The goal of sanctions is not to hermetically seal a country off from global markets, but to damage that countries economy.





  • Is the UN official saying that the pier is enabling the Israeli invasion of Rafah, as though it wouldn’t happen otherwise? Or is he saying that but for the pier, Israel will open more land crossing to aid?

    And what is the corrective action? Should the pier be built somewhere else, or not at all? Are their any factors about where to locate the pier besides political? Like the depth of the water or existing infrastructure?

    And if the problem with the aid is that it’s a meaningless PR gesture, then does PR medicine not heal? Dose PR food not nourish?

    Please help me understand why delivering food and medicine to Gaza is bad.
