I mean you have to go to down to Hochelaga for that.

Can someone explain to this non-american why the Democrats are treating this as a successful upset when they could have released the Epstein files during Biden?

Funny that when it was about protecting profits copyright was such a cornerstone principle but when it’s about protecting profits it can also be set aside.

I know, the EU was also supposed to be the solution to the Cyprus occupation, and that didn’t work either.

I’m not saying that the EU itself is the solution, but that the horizon of the EU, or at least something similar (a MEU?) could play that stabilizing role.

Among other problems that it causes, child malnutrition has lifelong impacts on the brain.

Remember this when Israelis do surprised Pikachu faces in 10-15 years when the next October 7th style atrocity happens and they ask like pearl clutching fuckfaces “why do they hate us?”. THIS. THIS is why they will hate you deeply and viscerally for the rest of their lives. You literally used reinforcement learning to train them to profoundly hate you.

That’s not saying much because the US has always been a bit of a rogue state given their disregard and active disrespect of international law. Trumpist US is even more a rogue state.

Lol, banned from Hungary is a badge of honour. Orban doesn’t get to lecture anyone on anything.

Keir Starmer has explicitly shown the door to left opposition.

Hard agree. Hopefully Corbyn has learned that Mamdani style left populism works. Laser focus on bread and butter and just hold the line on foreign policy. That makes the bad faith attacks that WILL come hollow. When you are asked about “but are you antisemitic” you pivot directly to “we will fund programs to combat anti-Semitism at home” and when they say how to fund them you say you will cut immoral military subsidies to oppressive foreign regimes.

Unironically, admitting Israel, Palestine and Lebanon into the European Union might actually be the solution to this whole fucking clusterfuck.

Edit: major major reforms should take place of course, and Israel should dismantle apartheid and pay reparations, while Lebanon should dismantle the sectarian dysfunction of their government, but as a long term horizon this region needs the wildly successful EU model of peaceful pacification more than any other region in the world.

Paradox of tolerance at play here.

The Israelis are going to regret this for decades to come. The world will not forget.
