    Saudi Arabia won’t recognize Israel without a path to a Palestinian state, top diplomat says
  • Good is relative. What you mean is that there isn't a perfect solution. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

    So if your argument is that a two state solution isn't perfect, therefore we shouldn't do it, then that's tacit approval for my first solution...a final solution if you will. Just pick a side, and poof.

    If you're not comfortable with genocide, then a two state solution is the only viable path forward with any hope of chance of being made into a good outcome, even if not a perfect one.

    So pick one: a final solution or a two-state solution, but stop with the wishy-washy "the status quo must remain until a perfect solution is found".

    If only they didn't simultaneously pollute and cook the earth when used...

    Biden Administration Backs Legislation to Seize Frozen Russian Assets
  • This is one of those actions that is completely understandable and an unambiguously moral decision, but the blowback has the potential to upened the entire post-WW2 American centric global financial order. Maybe for the better, maybe for the worse, I don't know, but it'll probably depend alot on what your vantage point is.

    Explosions and fires reported in centre of Belgorod due to mistake of Russian air defence
  • Ukraine has the right to self-defense, and retaliation.

    But, that doesn't mean we should believe the propaganda. Nor does it mean that Russia isn't still ultimately at fault, as these strikes are only happening in response to their brutal invasion and air campaign.

    Seriously, do you believe Russia when they claim the only civilians killed during their missile barrages are from Ukrainian air defense missiles?

    If anything, I assumed this was their ironic "fuck you" press release to mock the way Russia says the same shit every time their missiles hit civilian targets.

    Is it possible this was a result of a Russian air defense system? Sure, but too early to take immediate claims as credible.
