A temporary one. More of a pause.

The bombing throughout October and November convinced Hamas to back off their demand that all Palestinian prisoners be freed at least for some hostages. On October 7th they were demanding all Palestinian prisoners be freed. Hamas says it has enough Israeli captives to free all Palestinian...

The only reason Yahya Sinwar is running Gaza right now is that Netanyahu foolishly freed him along with >1000 other terrorists. I am sure he is very well aware how badly he screwed up with the Shalit deal. Hamas is demanding 100s of terrorists in exchange for the minority of hostages they...

Biden is desperately trying to appease the Rashida Tlaib (who spoke at a PFLP-sponsored anti-Israel conference) wing of the Democratic Party. It's disgusting and pathertic! Before, he recognized the necessity of defeating Hamas. Now he wants a "permanent" (i.e. until Hamas decides to break it)...

Nothing irrational about opposing the dominant ideologies in Palestinian society, for example support for terrorism and rejection of Israel's right to exist and defend itself. We should not have to cave to the Israel haters just to avoid the threat they pose.

"Canadian" ... Also, Teh Intercept again and again? One of the most anti-Israel news outlets outside of Press TV? And nobody denies that conditions in Gaza are difficult. But let's not forget who started this war, and who is still holding ~100 innocent hostages. Nothing in that article...

Which policy do you mean? A policy is not good or bad based on whether it purports to help poor people, and the devil is usually in the details. I do not get your point here. Can you please deobfuscate? Electric vehicles are heavily subsidized. And the technology has made huge strides over...

Do you even know what the word "secondaries" means in this context? I guess not.

This fits here. Enjoy.

Not just poor people. Lower middle class and even many mid-middle class folks can't afford a $40-100k new EV. They will most often buy used and if new, they are more likely to buy a cheaper ICE car And if you live in a house with a garage, it is relatively easy to install a Level 2 charger. If...

Gasoline is heavily taxed. Where do you see subsidies? EVs are heavily subsidized, and rightly so to encourage transition, but to pretend it is the opposite is just ridiculous. No, it isn't. The EV market share is relatively low still and by far the most new cars sold have ICE engines in...

We are talking only about those whom Jarhyn personally witnessed though. Actual numbers falsify Jarhyn's claim that Minneapolis is one of the safest cities in the US. List of United States cities by crime rate 22nd out of 100 biggest cities for crime overall, 16th for violent crime (ahead of...

"Their"? Stop mispluralizing me! I may contain multitudes, but I still go by a singular pronoun. I have encountered a lot of people in my life. And while I may not use public transit much these days, I rode the MARTA trains a lot back in the day. Unlike you, I can't say I have witnessed any...

Teh Intercept, LMAO! Mary Moriarty is yet another far-left fauxgressive DA who is soft on actual crime, but rejoices in prosecuting police officers, even if they did nothing wrong. She also hired a murderer when she campaigned for DA. Except that Ricky Cobb assaulted the police officers with...
