The West Bank is what happens when Palestine cooperates with Israel.

At least in a free Palestine the Palestinians would have the right of mobility intact (they could leave) whereas that's not possible under Israeli occupation.

Yup.

Allegations detailed in the investigative report from the comptroller's office include:

In 2020, Thomas and a group of local investors created three for-profit businesses known collectively as the Alliance Group.

The three businesses provided staffing assistance to local businesses, housed current and former inmates at a transitional home called Orchard House and provided transportation to work release inmates and former inmates traveling to and from work.

Thomas directed a little more than $1.4 million in inmate wage fees and deductions to profit the Alliance Group from February 2020-October 2022, and at least 170 inmates in Thomas’ custody were employed by the Alliance staffing agency during the investigation.

Thomas, who held a 20% ownership interest in Alliance, received more than $181,000 in compensation, payroll benefits and legal representation services from the businesses, which the investigation claims came through inmate labor.

Thomas allowed 74 Tennessee Department of Correction inmates held in the Gibson County jail to reside at Orchard House without proper approval from a judge. The sheriff is accused of continuing to show the jail as the inmate location in the state’s offender management system, which resulted in the county collecting $507,273 in reimbursements from the state department of corrections that were disbursed to Orchard House without the state agency's knowledge or consent.

Thomas directed $448,637.09 of wages earned by inmates working for Alliance to be deposited into a private account owned and controlled by the Alliance Group instead of having their wages deposited into an inmate trust account.

Crypto is a growing concern for a lot of people

What do you mean?

To be precise, Israel declared independence a day before the British Mandate was over (under a portrait of Theodor Herzl), then proceeded to expel the Palestinians en masse. They also used chemical and biological warfare in their pogroms against Palestinians to steal their land.

Zionist leaders, in particular David Ben-Gurion, viewed the acceptance of the [U.N. Partition plan for Mandatory Palestine] as a tactical step and a stepping stone to future territorial expansion over all of Palestine.

What you believe is a fairy tale. You need to wake up because that fairy tale negates historical fact, human rights, and the rule of international law.

Thanks for the link, it's important info. It seems like voting was interfered with, though. If you're wondering why the implementation looks nothing like the partition plan, it's because

Israel was already established a day after the British protectorate ended?

I think your hat is on way too tight.

Thank you, I have been looking for this phrasing for a long time. As someone who rejects violence it's very difficult to find the words to tell someone that the reason they incorrectly think something is a certain way is because they are stupid. Just mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, shit-slinging dolts.

It seems to me there has recently been an influx of users who have their hats on way too tight.

That's well said, and on top of that Zionists actively stoke the flames of Judeophobia!
