I'm obviously not surprised, but I think it's at least notable that the mainstream press is still extremely reluctant to criticize the IDF even after they killed a journalist.

It’s pure baseless speculation.

My warning bells went off when it started "MH370 Experts". Not "Experts from the NTSB" or "Experts from an internationally appointed investigation committee" or etc... You know, something that would actually indicate they were experts.

is it really that difficult for people to believe "it crashed in the ocean and the ocean is really, really big and deep"

like there are hundreds of planes that have "disappeared" in the Bermuda triangle and that's only like 50 miles off the coast of Florida. the Pacific/Indian ocean is thousands of times larger and more desolate

here's the first paragraph

quote:

ISRAEL AND Hamas have fought three wars in the Gaza Strip over the past decade, and though it may not look like the others, a fourth one is now underway. Having tried and failed to defeat Israel with rockets and armed cross-border attacks, Hamas this spring deployed a new strategy: assembling thousands of nominal civilians to march on and attempt to breach the border fence, in the calculation that many would be killed. The result would be a moral and political defeat for Israel — and perhaps some relief for a regime that is literally besieged from all sides.

But no, it's full on "they're making us murder them!" on all fronts.

Sanders fans, sometimes referred to derogatorily as “Bernie Bros” or “Bernie Bots,” at times harassed reporters covering Mr. Sanders and flooded social media with angry posts directed at the “corporate media,” a term often used by the senator.

lol, that piece is basically entirely a "just asking questions" piece of propaganda against Sanders and the left.


Attitudes like this (listing "possibly an addict," or "mentally ill" for that matter, as something that would make a person "feel queasy about personal contact") are why, as an addict myself, I don't trust liberals. They might claim to care about stuff like treating opiate addiction, but on an emotional level they perceive addicts as some sort of filthy untermenschen.

I think they mean in terms of getting isolated and sanctioned for it, and then finally having to change their policy.

they already are an international pariah except for the US and the european far-right. the danger is that mainstream liberalism in america may turn against being likud's bootlickers. imo the only thing that has changed in recent years is that obama isnt there anymore since he was able to defuse a lot of anger of mainstream liberals against the right (not just wrt to israel but the right in general including and especially republicans) in exchange for his express ticket to billionaire island. he let bibi poo poo all over him for years and never hit back. it seems like likudniks are suddenly realizing that with obama gone and trump there theyre suddenly in danger of US liberals realizing that likud = trump
