So what you're saying is Israel has killed over 4000 Palestinians this decade, including 200 this year prior to this attack, and Palestine launches a counter-attack that leaves 40 dead, and because Palestine retaliated to initial attacks they are now the aggressor "definitionally"? Is the only way to not be labeled the aggressor to soak up every single death at the hands of apartheid in stride?

If you take 10 punches and then throw 1, you are not the aggressor and for anyone to suggest such is for them to side with the aggressor.

Not to mention, I'm having a hard time imagining someone saying "[Israel has] rarely been the inciter in large-scale armed conflicts" while simultaneously looking at the map of Israel carving up the Palestinian homeland to shreds.

Is there a way that a nation can use the same means their oppressor uses to perpetuate apartheid for the purposes of resisting apartheid and not be labeled as "terrorist"?

as usual, the Palestinian death toll is now at least 5 times higher than the Israeli death toll and Israel isn't done yet

Don't lose sight of who the aggressor is.

This is the better way to write the law of course, but the ham-fisted way it's proposed by Rishi would look more like what I wrote, because he said specifically that the age should rise one year every year.

This is an amazing, for the sole reason that everyone who is 17 and change now will turn 18, be able to smoke, the law will bump to 19, they won't be allowed to smoke any more, but then they'll turn 19 and they'll be able to smoke again until the law raises to 20...

Frankly, it's a great way to rule on such an important lawsuit if you're the one with the most bribe money. That's why the system is so great, for people with the most bribe money.

fun little nugget of wisdom I uncovered reading about this, the Wikipedia page on Glyphosphate cites this metareview, the only metareview it cites finding that glyphosphate is not carcinogenic.

Look who wrote it.

absolutely innovative and pioneering humor. A stroke of genius. One of the most unique and original jokes I've heard in ages. You are truly a visionary.

If you don't think going to bat for AirBNB in any capacity whatsoever is a smoking gun for nefarious evil, we're just not going to see eye to eye here.
