„Many Americans acted like it was out of the blue when Japan attacked us when, in fact, the U.S. pursued policies that were likely to lead to a Japanese attack. The same was true of 9/11 in the sense that it was at least in part a response to the American presence in the Middle East.“

Fascinating interview with Robert Kagan, where he says that the biggest mistake of the Iraq war was that it permanently crippled the American public's conceptualization of their country's role in the world, and then admits that America is exceedingly Islamophobic and this informs foreign policy.

Hallo, ich brauche mal euren besten Aufsatz, das beste Essay, die beste Argumentensammlung zur Erwiderung auf traditionalisitisch-evangelikale Ehetheologie, insb. Scheidungsverbot. Jemand braucht Hilfe. Danke!

Unser Busfahrer hat seinen Kindern nicht-arabische Namen gegeben. Er vermutet, dass sie später nicht in Palästina leben werden. Und er will ihr Leben leichter machen - also keine arabischen Namen. So rassistisch ist die Realität. So real die Vertreibung.

It is still so funny to me that Richard Dawkins, the author of THE GOD DELUSION, who made an entire career out of asking people how they could be so emotionally driven and naive, ended up falling in love with an LLM girlfriend. lmfao. I can't even think about it without cracking a smile

there are a lot of philosophical concepts that get egregiously misused out of the seminar room (and in the seminar room, to be fair). but in terms of sheer pernicious misuse "social construct" has gotta be top 5 somewhere and it's not number 5

Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”

Israeli TV is distorting West Bank violence, framing armed settler terrorists as innocent wanderers who “stumbled into” a Palestinian ambush. When officials call on air for destroying Palestinian cities, settlers listen, and the media frames it as “revenge” instead of armed terror with impunity. 1/2

For that reason, it's very important that we elect people who are pro-Palestine because they hate apartheid and don't hold animus towards American Jews rather than people who are pro-Palestine because they believe Jews control their TV and cancelled their favorite non-woke shows.

Der 22-Jährige auf dem vor Kurzem auf dem Instagram-Account einer israelischen Soldatin geposteten Foto heißt Mahmoud Al-Drimli. Er wurde im November 2024 in Gaza entführt. Bis heute weiß seine Familie nicht, ob er lebt. Dieses Foto ist das erste Lebenszeichen von ihm, das seine Mutter erreicht.

It's very rarely acknowledged by the "what about Sudan?" crowd that has negatively polarized itself so thoroughly against pro-Palestinian sentiment, but basically all of the most pro-Israel think tanks are also extremely pro UAE and GCC writ large. There's a reason for that.

Pro-Israel, pro-Saudi, pro-Emirati, pro-Egypt, doesn't disclose donors, has an actual, literal genocidaire on its board, is more influential than people like to admit, is technically not in charge of anyone etc.

The situation in the West Bank is rapidly escalating. The Israeli army has imposed a lockdown across the West Bank, closing nearly all entrances and exits. Israeli settlers are escalating their attacks on more than 15 Palestinian villages, setting homes and fields on fire.
