Israel is fractured, isolated after two years of its war on Gaza: Analysts The trauma of the Hamas-led attacks on Israel continues to define and justify its bombing of Gaza, analysts say.

“The world has moved on, but Israel is stuck there. … That’s the justification for everything it does and why it still sees everyone in Gaza as complicit in that attack, even as it’s killed more than 65,000 of them,” Mekelberg said.

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.

They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.

Yes of course I agree that millions of people could have voted differently or voted at all but also one single person could have vocally denounced genocide. There were multiple paths to victory.

Not exaggerating when I say that this entire story is the ultimate confluence of every single thing wrong with our society

An accident happened to a person a tech millionaire was exploiting causing her baby to die so she rained down godlike power to terrorize & destroy her life forever in response
