And don't think you didn't contribute to that $150 mil just because you don't live in New York. NYPD received $500 mil from the federal ARP Act.

I'm guessing Israel wasn't bombing hostages. Although that guess has been wrong a lot.

“Even if Israeli forces had intended to target legitimate military objectives in the vicinity, these attacks evidently failed to distinguish between military objectives and civilian objects and would therefore be indiscriminate,” Amnesty International said in the report. “Indiscriminate attacks that kill and injure civilians are war crimes.”

Rafah is pretty much the last place for people to go, that's why 3/4ths of the population is there at this point. There aren't any "safe zones".

That's certainly a strange new precedent. I hope Congress gets to work quickly writing legislation for all the other amendments before a president realizes there aren't laws spelling out how freedom of speech is defined or how to enforce it, etc. etc.

And Ben-Gvir is still the National Security Minister, completely untouched.

But at least he finally took down his tribute to a mass killer that's been hanging in his home for decades. Small steps, right? I wonder if he ever gave Rabin's hood ornament back.

Quite an interesting contrast between how the US dealt with Soleimani vs. Ben-Gvir.

Seeing as Ben-Gvir isn't mentioned at all, I think you already have your answer.

the law doesn't explain who gets to determine when a country is acting in self-defense

Literally the same exact reasoning Trump used to declare an "emergency" and divert funds to a border wall. Words are meaningless so I can do whatever I want!

And said afterwards that they did it because they claimed there were "terrorists" in the hospital, before backtracking and deleting the tweets

Israel was eerily silent, when they usually report mistakes like the UN official dying in their strikes quite quickly.

They weren't eerily silent at all. There were Israeli military spokespeople bragging about it on X until they started seeing the backlash and deleted the tweets.

IDF journalist Hananya Naftali: "BREAKING: Israeli Air Force struck a Hamas terrorist base inside a hospital in Gaza. A multiple number of terrorists are dead."

When I heard about the change to block unregistered users from even reading tweets, I wondered if it affected embeds too.

One of the few good things to come out of this mess if it stops news sites from writing articles that are little more than 6 tweet embeds back to back.
