On a related note…

Two more US officials have resigned over the Gaza war, saying that the Biden administration is not telling the truth about Israeli obstruction of humanitarian assistance to more than two million Palestinians trapped and starving in the tiny coastal strip.
Alexander Smith, a contractor for the US Agency for International Development (USAID), said he was given a choice between resignation and dismissal after preparing a presentation on maternal and child mortality among Palestinians, which was cancelled at the last minute by USAID leadership last week.
Smith, a senior adviser on gender, maternal health, child health, and nutrition chose to resign on Monday after four years at USAID. In his resignation letter to the head of the agency, Samantha Power, he complained about the inconsistencies in USAID’s approach to different countries and humanitarian crises, and the general treatment of Palestinians.

“I cannot do my job in an environment in which specific people cannot be acknowledged as fully human, or where gender and human rights principles apply to some, but not to others, depending on their race,” he wrote.

In another resignation on Tuesday, a state department official from the bureau of population, refugees and migration, Stacy Gilbert, sent an email to colleagues explaining that she was leaving because of an official finding by the department that Israel was not deliberately obstructing the flow of food or other aid into Gaza.
According to the Washington Post, Gilbert took issue in particular with a formal state department report to Congress on 10 May, noting that Israel “did not fully cooperate” in the first months of the Gaza war but that it had “significantly increased humanitarian access” more recently. In fact, after a spike in humanitarian deliveries in late April and early May, they have fallen to near zero in the weeks since.

Q is like an addict on intervention. Has a meltdown, listens to everyone tell him how much he means to them, how he's Gwen Stefani, a good guy underneath it all, promises to change and get better and try harder....then 3 days later he's in the street blowing dudes for his fix and yelling obscenities while claiming victimhood and blaming everyone else.

the cycle continues, we're a week or 2 away from another multi page meltdown and kicking and screaming calling everyone a meanie.

Describing all of the hundreds of millions of people who live in the Middle East as "the enemy," though, does. Particularly when you would also be opposed to them having the ability to choose to live here instead of there.

Maybe we should have sent a strongly worded email requesting the bad guys either stop or turn themselves in.

The point of my post is I think there are plenty of conflicts, and particularly conflicts to which our country and tax dollars are party, worth discussing…not just the one or two that get all the pet attention.

Maybe this discussion is good. Trad might even know more than me. Any word on what sort of trade ships the Yemenis attacked?

And I’m gonna be optimistic and say trad’s concern for Russian Nazis might actually be…progress?

I mean at least he didn’t suggest Russian Nazis too might be “liberating” Ukraine.

once a piece of shit, always a piece of shit

i hope your ignorant, self-righteous ass chokes on a dick

[ousdahl]

You know, for years you didn’t think I was a piece of shit. We actually had a pleasant rapport. And though our bickering has been limited mostly to disagreements in this thread, you went and completely burned the bridge anyway. That might be the most tragic part of all.

And I still try to see some human being in you, despite you talking like this now. I don’t actually think you’re a Nazi apologist, I just think you’re a little more influenced by Cold War propaganda than you’ve ever been willing to consider.

You're trying way too hard.

Q:

Your crusade to enlighten everyone about how influenced they are by propaganda has ruined your ability to happily exist on this site.

Most of us are intelligent enough to realize propaganda exists and determine, through additional research, when we are being fed propaganda.

Are you?
