Times have also changed. The information available on our fingertips is showing that things are not as black and white as they seem. Back during the world wars, mass propaganda convinced us to go fight for imperialist reasons (remember, we did not go to war with Nazis over their treatment of the Jews).
It’s a lot harder to convince a populace to go to war when it’s not clear the opponent is entirely in the wrong.
It is absolutely antisemitic. Fiddler on the Roof is about the Jewish culture and has nothing to do with Zionism or Israel.
This would be like protesting against Saudi Arabia actions at an Eid festival.
“I’m getting my head bashed in by jackboots!”
“Well if it was Trump they’d be using baseball bats. If you vote Biden in, we’ll use runners next time”
Yes. But it’s not like we’re importing humans from other planets.
Is this racism, or are there genuine concerns (they took er jerbs?)
What if we elect Trump and he gets rid of safety standards, could we import it then?
I’m curious where crickets would fall on this scale.
I don’t think anyone wants to see that.
Maybe we can get Kushner’s laptop.
Speed restrictions.
Kei trucks were designed for use in dense Japanese cities, which is why they also work in European cities. They are nimble but have a low top speed. You’re not going 70 mph around a street corner for instance.
It would work in places like NYC for the same reasons, but remember that most of the USA is suburban or rural. You need vehicles that are capable of going fast if you’re going to get on a highway.
A possible workaround is to have a separate class for these, like mopeds or scooters, which are road legal but are not highway legal.
I mean the US did their part in bombing civilians over the years. They’re considered the “world police” not because they’re good, but simply because nobody can challenge them.
You mean we’re expected to know that Neapolitan is in reference to Naples (despite the ice cream not being from there) and doesn’t relate to Napoleon at all?
Think about how much they got away with before the internet made it possible to scrutinize their activities.
Put that into context of governments seeking to restrict access to information: the US ban on TikTok for instance.
Police spokesman Georgian Dragan told local television station Digi24 that the suspect’s motives were personal and not motivated by Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip.
Bombers don’t necessarily have to come with bombs. They could be used to dump water for example on a forest fire. The bombs are extra.
Let’s say they didn’t have the vehicles. What would they arm them with?
That’s like saying we’ll send the Israelis bombers but if they arm them with bombs, that’s on them.
You’re being pedantic but it’s a stupid argument to make.
This is how I read his comment as well.
I mean we sold the Saudis weapons to bomb the Yemenis, so I’m just surprised we haven’t been sending Israel weapons to bomb the Gazans.
It’s really simple, I think. If you don’t want to be accused of being a war criminal, don’t commit war crimes.
The BBC reported it was a Taiwanese brand to let a Hungarian company manufacture them on their behalf. The pagers were brought to Lebanon 5 months ago. The Hungarian company has been around since about 2022.
For this to be a supply chain attack, the level of sophistication indicates Israeli intelligence was at this for years, from setting up a shell company, infiltrating manufacturing companies, etc. We don’t know whether the Taiwanese company was compromised as well.
Now this last part is a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it makes you wonder what the real reason the US banned Huawei. Could they have been approached as a potential manufacturer and they said no? The timeline certainly works.
