I’m certainly not going to defend anything Israel is doing here. Both sides in this debacle are bloodthirsty maniacs.

It’s not only in the article, but in the excerpt posted by OP.
If preserving jobs regardless of technology were a criterion, we’d still have farriers in every town. Things change. Good on them for getting a pay raise, though. It’s hard and essential work.
This is what, 8% annually or so? Seems petty substantial to me.
What is this even in reference to?
Seriously? Did you just see the word “Israel” and start arguing without knowing the topic at hand?
Did they use it as a targeting reticle in 1938?
I don’t agree with this, but I do find it idiotic and tone-deaf for pro-Palestinians to co-opt Hamas imagery and a symbol of violence as a show of support. It suggests they either explicitly support Hamas, or are too stupid to understand what they are displaying.
I just love these “confidently incorrect” moments. Did you read the article?
Just to be clear, these are donors acting individually rather than a coordinated effort by any Democratic party.
But negotiations mean that both sides need to give something. So NATO and the U.S. should agree to pull back heavy weapons and missiles away from the Russian border and recognize in public what NATO has long acknowledged privately: that Ukraine will not be joining the military alliance in any foreseeable future.
This is absolutely playing into Russia’s hands, and is essentially imperialist. What right do Russia’s government (and American veterans) have to decide what Ukrainians get to do with their own country?
Read the link posted by OP as a reply to me.
I suggest you re-read the first link you posted. It may as well be posted on RT. What exactly is the diplomatic solution here? Russia needs to GTFO of Ukraine. Any equivocation plays into the Russian agenda.
Diplomacy Not War - Peace in Ukraine!
“We demand urgent, good faith diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine, not more U.S. weapons, advisors, and endless war. And certainly not a nuclear war. We want those billions of dollars going for climate correction, jobs, healthcare and housing, not for the profiteers who manufacture weapons for death and destruction. “As veterans who have experienced the carnage of war, we feel great empathy for the young soldiers on both sides of this bloody war, who are being killed and injured in the tens of thousands. We know all too well that the survivors of armed conflict will be traumatized and scarred for life.”
VFP also advocates for countries to stop arming Ukraine, and for Ukraine to essentially bend over and accede to Russian demands.
For other parrot enthusiasts who were wondering as I was, these seem to be Patagonian Conures (not endangered, and somewhat common as a pet). I hope this spurs people into conserving their habitat.
Americans stop making everything about the US challenge (impossible)
You know most other western countries support Israel too, right?
What levers of decisionmaking are manipulated by whom
I hope you aren’t saying what I think you’re saying here.
In any case, the main reason for western support of Israel is the same as the reason for western support of Turkey. Both have obnoxious leadership but both are in key geographic locations, and the value of having them on-side against their neighbours is greater than the value in cutting them loose.
Austria is very much right-wing too, so they’d be down for some anschluss action.
Of course it’s Hungary. What a sad state of affairs for the country whose brave resistance led to the term “tankie” being coined for the pro-Russian side.
Only ten percent? I’d have guessed it’s higher, but perhaps the states I haven’t visited have slimmer people.
Since this thread is about the article, no, I don’t.
