You know this is a good plan because all the orthodox hardliners on both the Israeli and Palestinian side would hate it.

Speaking as an American Jew, Hamas should release the hostages. Until they do, a ceasefire feels impossible.

This headline is terrible journalism. Guess I shouldn’t expect much from a random website from Morocco when it comes to unbiased reporting on Israel though.

Insane that this comment is downvoted. There are 1400 dead Israeli civilians and hundreds more still held hostage by Hamas. If they want peace so bad, maybe release the hostages?

I didn’t get a ban, but definitely had a post “disappeared” with no explanation because I had the audacity to mention the extreme anti-Israel bias around here.

You ever drive down a rural road, and out the window you suddenly come across an old shuttered up house? The kind of house with five cars parked on the front lawn in various states of disrepair? With overgrown bushes pushing into the peeling paint of the wooden siding alongside a giant novelty bigfoot that seems to stare at you as you zip by down the road? The one with the chain link fence that’s torn in five places and yellowed trailer up on blocks? The one with a dog tied to a post, barking it’s head off outside, so you know someone actually lives there?

I imagine these threads are like a window into the lives of the people in those houses. It’s like they’re living in a whole different society, with their weird quirks and vaguely unsettling rituals.

Connect app can do that as well

Got one guy yelling that real poor people can’t afford plane tickets and you’re calling me stupid for the opposite reason. Meanwhile I’m here like, I never even took a position on the actual argument, I just wanted to make a distinction between poverty in wealthy countries vs poor countries. Yeesh

People make bad financial decisions all the time? I dunno why you’re so angry about this. Like, would you say someone with $10,000 of debt, no house, making $13 an hour is not poor? I mean ya they aren’t destitute and homeless but that person sure as fuck wouldn’t call themselves rich, you know?

You need to differentiate between poor in a wealthy country vs. globally poor. I know plenty of “poor” people in the US who can still scrape together enough cash for a plane ticket to go on vacation, but they’re still in tons of debt with zero savings.
