Idk about recently, but the knesset did try to expel him. 85 voted in favor. It failed to get the required 90 though and he remained there. At least at that point

The amount of people wanting to cozy up to the Dems now is too damn high.

from that article:

In this collection’s finest work, Levy’s sentences are cold poetry of a sort. She deals individual cards rather than handles an entire deck. Her stories are vignettes, and the observations whoosh past your ears: “We wouldn’t be collectivizing the Adderall sector”; on drugs, “I could dig a hole to China and save the Uyghurs”;

who the fuck is this person. They suck.

what Israel actually deserves is unlimited genocide

I know theres been struggle sessions around this kind of ironic talk before, but i mean, come on, this shit is just stupid to say.

We shouldn't say it for the same reason we dont have a burning Israel flag emoji.

Israel is a settler-colonial state currently engaging in genocide (and basically has been since its creation). It should be dismantled as a state. Yes. Say that. Not this stupid ass shit you're trying to push. Its dumb and childish and will only drive people away.

What were the most unhinged moments of Netanyahu's speech?

How NYT chooses to report on fatah/hamas agreement:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/23/world/middleeast/fatah-hamas-china-statement.html

“What happened in China isn’t significant,” said Jehad Harb, an analyst of Palestinian affairs. “There aren’t any indications that Hamas and Fatah intend to end the split between them.”

“These statements aren’t worth the ink needed to write them,” said Abd Al-Rahman Basem al-Masri, 25, a resident of Deir al Balah in central Gaza. “We’ve seen these things before and we’ve lost hope in them.”

Great example of how media tries to control narratives.
