Pacifists are worthless in the face of a genocidal, ethnosupremacist state seeking Lebensaum for a Greater Israel.

Jihad—“struggle”—against the genocidal Israeli state that is pursuing Lebensraum against its neighboring states is a good thing.

By that logic my ass. There is no a genocidal gay supremacy ethnostate.

When statistics agree with my preconceived notions, I consider them trustworthy, and if not, I assume that reality lines up with what I expect.

I… thought you were being sarcastic. This is an obvious and severe flaw to have in one’s rational thinking.

prejudice (noun)
1. The act or state of holding unreasonable preconceived judgments or convictions.
2. An adverse judgment or opinion formed unfairly or without knowledge of the facts.

You’re assuming a Harris administration would have handled this significantly differently, when regime change in Iran has been bipartisan consensus ever since the 1978 revolution removed the puppet regime that the US installed in 1953.

Administrative detentions can be longer. On paper they can hold you about a month, but it can be longer than that with a judge’s signoff if they have proof of a crime.

And in the US, jail can be up to just short of a year.

This is typically where the police try to get you to confess to something and drag it out as long and uncomfortably as possible until you do, after which you either get to go free (though you end up on a list for a long time) or you may go to a “black jail”/黑監獄 which is a sort of under-the-table prison.

The terms of release can also sometimes require completion of a rehabilitation program, which is often the voluntary alternative to prison, or getting transferred to a short stay detention center for a few months to perform community service.

So pretty similar to the US.

  • To this point, only 37 members of Congress have endorsed any of the pending resolutions designed to keep the US out of a war with Iran.
  • Instead, the Democrats have allowed the resistance to be led by the likes of Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Alex Jones, Matt Gaetz, Rand Paul, Steve Bannon, and Thomas Massie.

Indeed, homelessness in the US is massively more nuanced than “we need to build more homes.” Simply building more housing will hardly help at all, because there are already many houses & apartments intentionally left vacant in order to manipulate prices, because the real estate and banking industries are only interested in line go up.

In this public News Brief, we detail how the NYT, Washington Post, and CNN reinforce every faulty premise of Israel's attack and how top Democrats in Congress and former Harris aides either ignore Trump and Israel's massive escalation or openly support it, showing once again the scope of debate in our politics and media ranges all the way from A to B.
