The owner already walked backed the statement and said he had his own reasons, different than his daughter's support of Palestine.

It would be pretty funny if Jimmy Carter outlived Biden you might be on to something.

I'm hoping for the funniest of all outcomes being that Kamala loses the popular vote, but wins the electoral college. And then the second election theft happens, but this time he actually "won" the election.

After consuming more Hunter x Hunter I'm leaning towards it being pretty bad and without spoiling anything really. The author does the classic manga pitfall of "hey you know the 4 main characters that earned you caring about them, well actually fuck those guys, the story isn't about them at all, it's about these 50 new characters you care nothing about, but are now the focus because they have vaguely more interesting designs/powers".

Today the Youtuber BadEmpanda released a video titled "Genocide: The Dumbest Crime (Why There's No Bosnian Genocide)" and the premise is more or less that having the technical classification of Genocide often has been used to take away from discussion of the actual atrocities and instead debate whether something is technically Genocide or not. And obviously any reasonable person would consider this a Genocide, but it did make me think of how ridiculous something like Kamala talking about her opinion on whether killing at the very absolute minimum 40,000 people fits a definition instead of having to justify why she supports the deaths of 40,000 people.

Do you want to know something funny? The term Sabra comes from the name of the prickly pear cactus plant in Hebrew and the settlers assumed the cactus was a native plant to the territory. So they thought a plant represented them that they assumed was native to the land, but actually was not at all native to the land.

Since the early days of Jewish immigration to then-Mandate Palestine, Israelis have called the ideal Israeli, who is born in the country, a sabra: tough on the outside like the thorny fruit, soft on the inside like its sweet flesh, and native to the soil like the plant. (Although like many Israelis, sabra is actually an immigrant, having arrived from the Americas via Spain several centuries ago.)
