Politics Corner May 20

Our Dumb Senator actually had a bright idea! And then he immediately got it wrong. He's been looking around and unlike most of mainstream media he did notice that Dems are picking all of the open seats when historically it's the opposition that gains. He noticed that the Dems were talking about abortion and it was a winning issue for them. * cue light bulb illustration for those who aren't used to having thoughts * If abortion can work for Dems it can work for us! We just all need to unite on when we want to ban abortion.

Defence Minister of Israel Yoav Gallant has told Netanyahu that he will not allow an Israeli occupation at the end of the war. He doesn't want Hamas rule nor the Palestinian Authority which rules the non-occupied parts of the west bank. And nobody wants Hezbollah there. Gallant says that the only way that Israel will ever have peace is if Palestinians are allowed to rule themselves. Netanyahu says fuck that.

This doesn't get Gallant off the hook. He, as well as Netanyahu, all of the people at the top in Israel and of course all of the people who run Hamas have all been called out by the ICC. It's like the World Court but for individual crimes against humanity or war crimes.  The US and Israel are not signatories but it applies because the Palestinians are. Think on that one a while.
