Sophie the producer was so tired of hearing about terrible people that she got Magpie to make this show. It is really good. But it is still pretty depressing because the majority of cool people die horribly.

Cool People Who Did Cool Stuft did a really good episode on her. Her story is so much more interesting than you would think.
This is parody, right?
Idk. The fucking turks are bombing the shit out of Rojava with American weapons as we speak. So we certainly aren’t helping by remaining friendly with Erdogan.
When the British Occupiers left the East Coast we, the Americans, started to build a nation while the shiftless Indians just tried to fight it. We killed them and dispossessed them of their land and civilized them.
Thank goodness we destroyed their ways of life (destruction of the buffalo (olives)). And removing them from their wealth sure made it easy for us to give out our settlers land for free (bought with Indian blood). It also had the side effect of forcing the Indian into our colonial system and they were cheap labor!
There are literally zero parallels here to Israel. I don’t know why I even thought of any of this.
Keep on bombing those children in Gaza!
It has been a god send for me. My wife is completely disabled and I’m her caregiver. Having someone else do my groceries and we still get good fresh food has been amazing. It is so much better than six or seven years ago.
Yeah, I mean just because they have something staked on the outcome doesn’t mean that the state of Israel isn’t an apartheid state. I don’t think any state is good, but separating citizens based on race or religion seems pretty fucking evil. And it is worse when you take an indigenous peoples land. As an American, I feel this deeply since we followed this same path dispossessing indigenous people while enslaving Africans. Not great… and I hope we start to rectify those evils sometime soon.
But jews lived next to non Jewish Arabs in Palestine for generations peacefully. And Jewish Arabs lived peacefully all over the Middle East. But the nekba changed those dynamics. Arab Jews are discriminated against in Israel and a lot have been ejected from their old Arab countries. The whole thing of boiling a person down to their ethnicity or religion just is not a great thing.
There needs to be a political settlement soon. Palestinians deserve better and Israelis deserve peace.
I’m not familiar enough with this to answer your question. But I know for sure that Bibi’s brother, Yoni, was a war hero. He died in the line of duty. So it isn’t like they are completely disconnected from war.
And I think a ministers kid was killed in Gaza today.
I’m really glad you were able to get out of that. And I hope that you’ve found a better community.
It is literally child abuse. I was also terrified of hell before I realized it was all bullshit.
Is this the dude in California that got “null” as a license plate and ended up getting all the fines for which California couldn’t determine whose car it was that ran the red light?
We all want fully automated gay space communism!
