True, but I am also tired of explanations for Hamas terrorism becoming its justification. Not by you, obviously, but look around. This is what I meant: We can acknowledge that Israel is an apartheit state and has become fascist and did horrible things to palestinians over the last decades. We do not have to wonder that there are terrorists. At the same time, that does not mean that Israelis "deserve" it or that terrorism is inevitable like a force of nature.

Explanation =/= justification. But exactly this is getting abused by antisemites.

I have read some horrible comments over the last couple of days. From accusing me of "hurr durr both sides" to "there is no such thing as an innocent Israeli" (thanks hasanabi twitch chatter, not banned for this) while hundreds were slaughtered at a festival.

Every reasonable person must admit that. Just like every reasonable person must codemn Hamas terrorism. But people like picking teams, and appearently that makes doing both very hard.

How very cyberpunk, except for the fact that permission was given.

I am not allowed to say hateful things here I think, but man I really hope McConnell lives a long life. He seems to be in perfect health and enjoys living by the looks of it, and I want that joy to continue for him as long as possible :) :) :)

Been like that forever. Maybe we just had a brief intermission. :/

"On Sept. 29, Dianne Feinstein, 90, died of natural causes. She had cast a vote in the Senate less than a day prior."

Banger first two sentences. As an observer not from the US, this feels like Emperors New Clothes to me. But instead of a naked emperor, you have paraded a corpse through the senate and acted as if she was a fighter like Xena, Warrior Princess or something.
