Shame on any Democrats who joined the Repubs for this injustice. She speaks the truth against massive pressure from AIPAC. It's a McCarthy atmosphere where anyone who dares speak a balanced perspective on Israel and Palestine gets crushed.

So the SVP gets 29%. The Social Democrats have 17%, the Free Democrats have 15% and the Center Alliance has 15%. The SVP 29% would still not be enough if any two the others form a coalition against them.

I still stand with the concept of local password management. I'm still not comfortable with my passwords being held out on the cloud.

Of course. The timing of the Hamas attack seems very likely to be to disrupt the upcoming summit that had been scheduled between Israel and Saudi Arabia. And many were predicting that the Saudis would throw the Palestinians under the bus, in order to secure lucrative oil and weapons deals with the Israelis. Now that deal is off the table. Seems the Palestinians had the choice between genocide by doing nothing, or genocide in retaliation for the Hamas attack.

I would not consider reactionary youtube videos to be a reasonable place for the consideration of the validity of a scientific claim. So many are just propaganda and misinformation. Note: The youtube account is using the video to push a questionable investment scheme.

Far right white supremacist killings of Jews is far more prevalent in the US than Muslim killings of Jews. My first suspects would be among the extreme right.

This killing could be inspired by Trump's public threats and attacks on Judges and witnesses.

Far right white supremacist anti-Semitic violence is much more prevalent in the US than Muslim anti-Semitic violence. If this was politically motivated killing, my first suspects are the extreme right.

The US State Department has a long-standing strong alliance with the Israelis. Billions of dollars of weaponry is sold to the Israeli military yearly, with a direct profit for the US defense industry.

The extreme right GOP wants to disable the Government. For them, this is not a bug, it is a feature. It will ensure that a budget is not passed in the upcoming budget expiration. At that point, not only will the congress be shutdown, but the government will be shutdown as well.

I don't consider the Pentagon to be a reliable source for information when they have a vested interest in the conflict. Remember when they said Saddam Hussain had "weapons of mass destruction" which was used to justify the Iraq invasion? Well there never were any. The Pentagon manufactured that disinformation, and media parroted it like loyal puppets.

Massive surveillance programs won't stop crime. Instead it will be used to persecute target demographic groups.
