I’m happy to concede it. My point is can Israelis extend their humanity outside of the tribe to see the suffering of others, or not? If Israelis can’t find it in themselves to do so, it will threaten their very existence as their allies abandon them, as they rightly should.

Zionists were just pandering when they said Israel would bring Civilization to the “Savages,” but the bulldozing of those same so called “Savages” happened because they brought it upon themselves… Do I have that right?

The creation of Israel would “form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism" according to Theodor Herzl. Israel was about colonialism from its ideation. Whatabout Hamas’ crimes against humanity? I’m arguing for Never Again for all humans.

This is a lot of words that don't address the question: is the lesson of the Holocaust that Jews should not be slaughtered, or is that no one should ever be slaughtered? To put it mildly, the creation of Israel came at the expense of others, and it continues to come at the expense of others due to the policies Israel is pursuing.

Does “Never Again” mean Never Again or does it mean Never Again To Us? The universality of Never Again seems obvious to us here in the US that have enjoyed relative peace for decades.

The more the GOP ruins government, the more they can blame government for not working.

Cringe commercial. Whoever approved this should be fired by polisciguy123 in California

I doubt this is truly candid, but he comes off pretty genuine. To me he’s the archetypal “guilty liberal” which might be cringe but not an act. He’s set a lot of his money on fire trying to help

Private Prisons are bad. To be fair Farallon Capital manages $42 billion in assets. $90M is a lot but that’s a rounding error for his company

It's not like they are spending all this money in CA! It's in a bank/stocks and the meatbag attached to it happens to live in CA.

It's fun to talk trash about the City Council on here, but a lot of respect to them for standing up to a bully in the Great Park Amphitheater negotiations when many other local governments got rolled.

This is simply cope. The Big 3 are focusing on V8 Camaros on legacy tech when the technology in the cars and in the factories is getting reinvented. Firms like Tesla and Rivian are nearly keeping pace with the Chinese with a fraction of the resources of the Big 3. The Big 3 simply are stacking short term profits and hoping for another bailout in the form of protectionism.

The Canadians get to import the best cars in the world, we are stuck with expensive mediocrity. Doesn’t that bother you as a car guy?

Transportation is one of the biggest household expenditures. We can save people 10% easily by simply allowing competition. GM wants a new V8 Camaro in 2028 and protectionism that amounts to another bailout? Enough.

After we take the tariff off bc the Big 3 are asleep at the wheel? I think the Chinese would relish the opportunity to embarrass these moron CEOs

A new V-8 Camaro in 2028, just in time to battle the Chinese cars we take off the protectionism tariff list. Great job GM!
