Why would Hamas give up all the living hostages which provided the bulk of their leverage to gain a ceasefire only to blow it over by keeping a few dead bodies They want fire to resume without any leverage Why What are they going to do with those bodies It makes zero sense. What makes far more sense is that they can't find them after the devastation Israel caused in Gaza. Israel knows that very well"

"Everyone is getting this Jimmy Kimmel thing wrong. A) It's not cancel culture when it comes from the government. It is censorship and state repression just like in traditional authoritarian regimes. B) Kimmel wasn't taken off the air for crotizing Kirk. He was taken off for criticizing Trump's lack of concern for Kirk. It was a criticism of the government. This has nothing to do with "cancel culture" and everything to do with freedom of speech. Don't let them gaslight you into thinking this is a minor chapter in the culture wars. This is so much more"

Jews in Israel are almost all immigrants from elsewhere with a lifestyle of capitalist exploitation of resources and a firmly colonial style of government.
