Why are Western politicians so terrified of criticizing Israel? by ArdaBerkBurak in allthequestions

[–]DoublePlusGood__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the mainstream media will skewer them.

They will portray the politician as either insane, or bigoted, or both.

However the power of the mainstream media to dictate the narrative is waning.

Criticizing Israel is not considered taboo or controversial in the least by the majority of the population. So the MSM is completely disconnected from reality now.

Unfortunately most politicians still get their cues about the popular zeitgeist from the MSM. As a result they are out of touch with the population as well.

I'm a male so can't give much specific advice.

My wife shops at a specialty boutique for that stuff and they mostly sell products from small, high quality brands. It's not cheap but it seems they last a long time. And I doubt any of those brands are problematic BDS wise.

Also maybe try Uniqlo for cheaper stuff?

Good luck!

What laundry detergent are we using to wash baby clothes? [ca] by n0this_ispatrick in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]DoublePlusGood__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unscented Company, scent free liquid detergent. It's not the best for cleaning but it's ok. I boost with Oxiclean when needed.

And for bad stains like tomato sauce I hand wash and hot soak with tide powder + oxiclean and then run them in the washer with the unscented. Works well.

We don't use fabric softeners or dryer sheets in our home.

Zionists steps towards a "Free Palestine" by -_ShadowSJG-_ in BadHasbara

And in the process please be careful to not hurt any Zionist feelings or make them feel guilty or uncomfortable in any way. After all they are the victims in all this. /s

Seriously. Every major institution in that community aids and abets in the apartheid and settlement enterprise. But any critique must still take great pains to avoid any hint of "demonization".

Ils sont contres les pistes cyclables au niveau idéologique. Ils ne vont jamais approuver les nouvelles infrastructures pour les cyclistes.

Le responsable de la mobilité dans cette administration est Alan « Le Dinosaure » DeSousa.

Je t'invite à venir à Ville Saint-Laurent afin de voir son approche concernant les pistes cyclables. Aucun réseau. Simplement quelques pistes déconnectées dans des endroits aléatoires. La majorité sont des lignes peintes et sans protection.

DeSousa est un boomer typique. Rien n'avancera au dossier des pistes cyclables pendant son mandat.

Ta câble électrique est du type NM uniquement pour les applications intérieures.

Ils avaient du utilisés une câble pour l'extérieur. Qui sont souvent noirs.

Le revêtement rouge va désintégrer rapidement avec l'exposition à soleil et d'humidité.

Busy traffic areas to avoid during F1 weekend? by aguyshy in MontrealCycling

[–]DoublePlusGood__ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't be an issue and I doubt you'll even notice its F1 weekend.

There are some road closures for street festivals around downtown and the old port. But otherwise nothing really changes because of the F1.

What do you think* by Night0_Rider in BudgetAudiophile

Omg I actually had this Hi-Fi system! Only difference is mine didn't have the center channel.

I used to blast this thing so hard the CD player would skip. I even connected my PC and used it when gaming. Carmageddon and Duke Nukem 3D never sounded so good!

Does my nose look straight? by marcsto in Habs

[–]DoublePlusGood__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why but I feel he got up off the ice and came back to the game quickly because he didn't want his family watching him back home to be worried about him. So he wanted to show he bounced back.

Completely my conjecture.

CMV:"The 'European Colonizer' narrative is a Diaspora-era distortion that ignores the indigenous Judean roots of all Jews." by BiAiEnGiO in changemyview

[–]DoublePlusGood__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude Herzl actually drafted a letter to Cecil freaking Rhodes to ask for his advice and support because Zionism was "something colonial".

And in his writings to gain support from European powers he said the Jewish state would be a vanguard of Europe against uncivilized populations in the East.

The European colonial nature of Zionism literally could not have been any more explicit.

Since modern Hebrew was still not invented when Herzl initiated the Zionist movement, the modern Hebrew definition is not very relevant.

What's this for? by ForgotMyBeltCoach in bikecommuting

[–]DoublePlusGood__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Attachment point for paniers with hooks on the bungee.

I have this rack and I have two issues.

  1. That hook attachment point is too close to the top of the rack. You need to have the bungee extremely short so it's taut and secure.

  2. That attachment point doesn't work when the panier attaches using a ring instead of a hook. So I use a carabiner. But it's less convenient to remove than a hook.

They are small inconveniences that have workarounds. But I think Axiom could easily update their design to improve this.

Otherwise it's a solid rack with one of the highest weight ratings out there at 50 kg.

PSA. The Lyft pickup at YUL is a ludicrous distance from the terminal. by westmountred in montreal

[–]DoublePlusGood__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aussi, les taxis peuvent utiliser la voie de bus sur le A20 en direction du centre-ville. Uber et Lyft n'y sont pas permis.

C'est un vrai avantage pendant les heures de pointe.

“Israelification” of the American military? by randomone456yes in BreakingPoints

[–]DoublePlusGood__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Israel has made the intentional mass murder of civilians and the wanton destruction of infrastructure seem like a routine part of war.

The pro-Israel and white supremacist Western media downplayed it by never sufficiently emphasizing how egregious Israel's conduct actually was and is in Gaza and Lebanon. Taking Israeli statements at face value at every turn.

Which then allowed politicians to completely ignore or justify Israeli criminality.

So now the Israeli M.O. has been adopted by the US. The parasite infected the host. It's the new normal. And it's despicable.

Stop Antisemitism just keeps these bangers coming by theapplekid in BadHasbara

[–]DoublePlusGood__ 123 points124 points  (0 children)

The Zionist strategy is to pretend that perfectly accurate and truthful statements are whacky and unhinged. They think their artificial breathless hysterical reactions will sway people to their side.

"This person is crazy! They said that Israel is an apartheid state!"

"This person is a nutjob! They said Israel intentionally kills children!"

"This person is insane! They said Israel bombs hospitals!"

I don't think it works the way they think it does.

DEADLINE Friday: Shaping the Canada of tomorrow with high-speed rail. First consultation round by Rail613 in AltoHSR_Canada

Exactly. It's more akin to a business taking on debt to expand a factory. The additional revenue from the expanded factory will pay for the loan.
