Thought he had an easy target. Didn’t realize dude rockin the sandals/jeans/ponytail/solo Bluetooth was born into the shitty internet debate. Molded by it. When Mr TikTok was out partying he was studying Usenet archives and paying for Something Awful….

40% support for "defund the police" is ridiculously high. that's like gay marriage in 2008 numbers
Greg Huber (outstanding Yale poli sci) & 2 co-authors find that when protests are framed as "against police brutality" and "by Black Lives Matter," they are remarkably popular. But "Defund the Police" is a toxic, disastrous slogan. Unsurprising, but this is confirmation:

whats funny here is palestinian refugees will often have the literal ottoman land titles to the land they or their family occupied before the nakba. it's not some abstraction, the expropriation all happened under, eg, the absentee property law of 1950.
Do Palestinians have righteous grievances from 1948? Absolutely. Are Israelis entitled to security in areas they’ve inhabited for generations? I think so. Idealistic arguments over which group is “indigenous” don’t solve what is fundamentally a political issue.

west berlin had approx the same population as gaza in 1948, the berlin airlift required about 1500 flights a day to deliver thousands of tonnes of cargo - and those planes could land.
On airdrops, generally: it’s insincere theatrics. A parachute is not better than a truck crew at securing cargo against looters or protecting civilians who need to access the aid, and the volumes deliverable by air are absolutely microscopic compared to normal overland logistics.
