Much appreciated.

Why though?

Am a middle eastern civilian, how do I enlist?

It’s a half-pun about actual piracy. Not sure if illegal fishing is actually considered piracy, but that’s the idea.

Why did they even do that?

Apparently it’s the former. Their prosecution rate is 8% apparently according to Wikipedia, because they’re too understaffed to deal with cases that can go either way. They also have a false confession problem, but that’s not what’s getting them to that rate.

So of course in the end it should come down to what you want to do and where you see yourself living a happier life, and not what people on the internet think you should do. However, purely from a “making the world a better place” perspective, I’d recommend not returning. I get the idea of trying to change society from within, but frankly I think Israel in its current state is beyond saving. The sense of invincibility, among other issues, is too much for simple activism to fix; the country as a whole needs the Nazi Germay treatment (the de-Nazification part, not the war part). At least by not being in Israel you make sure your tax money and children aren’t used in genocide.

I repeat, do what you feel is best for you, but to directly answer your question your absence does more to weaken the Israeli Apartheid apparatus than your presence. Do vote though; definitely vote.

Will Hamas stop if Isreal does?

If Israel stops its apartheid and ethnic cleansing? Certainly.

Amazing. Depressing, but amazing.

Stochastic terrorism folks.

Holy fuck that link. I guess Israel learned that Europeans (generally) won’t bend over backwards for their Apartheid (stares at USS Liberty).

Meanwhile FiniteBanjo laughing at us from the good place:

Pretty sure nobody cares, but man as a third world country guy it feels weird as fuck to see these reasonable-looking numbers only to multiply by 50 and get a heart attack.

I mean yes but it’s diminishing returns. The rule kind of falls apart at these numbers.

So nothing about the claim Biden just made?

Then where’s the evidence? Biden lost his credibility the moment he said he saw pictures of the 40 dead babies.

I’ve never used a Mac but my experience with iPhones and iPads (not mine) has convinced me to never touch anything Apple makes. The requirement of iTunes to send files between an iPhone and a PC is, for example, just ridiculous.

So then what’s that case supposed to be?

They don’t pay because the law is too toothless and the IRS has no money. Vermont is on the right track.

car makers just jack up their prices so they make more off the subsidy

Exactly.
