There are two main reasons why the Abraham Accords can't really succeed at their self-stated goals. The first is that the thesis that Palestine can be permanently sidelined continues to be disproven by the events of history,

It is insane that I know what Will Stancil is dealing with. I actually hate it.
I have begged over and over for other rapid responders to talk to press; I often end up doing it anyway because my risk tolerance is high and I’m already targeted. I always, always make the terms of press engagement clear: no other observer can be identified in any way.
@whstancil.bsky.social engage with media thoughtfully and keep comrades safe or let someone else do it. the movement will be just fine without your clout chasing

I want to see every single monster involved in this— from the prison CEO to the private equity financiers to the politicians down to the guards— in jail in my lifetime. That’s all I want.
In court documents, families described brutal conditions. Parents said it was difficult to get water to mix with formula for babies, and food was contaminated with mold and worms. Children were under so much stress they were hitting their own faces or wetting themselves despite being potty-trained.
ICE Threw Thousands of Kids in Detention, Many For Longer Than Court-Prescribed Limit
Former immigration staffers argue ICE is choosing to detain families for prolonged periods to speed deportations and compel them to leave.

A corollary to this is that you can say things about women that would make the most extreme 4chan incel blush so long as you put the word “white” before “women” while doing so.
A lot of people have figured out that you can say some pretty heinous things about a collective racial subgroup if you couch it in terms of how a subsection of that subgroup voted.

The very high civilian death toll was “not the unavoidable result of fighting Hamas in dense urban terrain…Israeli targeting practices consistently defined military value broadly, treated intelligence gaps permissively, and shifted risk away from Israeli forces and onto civilians.”

This is an important, credible, and damning article about the IDF in Gaza by Andy Milburn, a retired US Marine Raider colonel with combat experience from Fallujah and Mosul who maintained close contact with IDF officers during the war (while keeping a low public profile). Read the whole thing.
Gaza and the Conduct of Urban War: Civilian Harm, Risk, and Responsibility
Urban warfare is often invoked as an alibi: dense terrain, an embedded enemy, human shields, imperfect intelligence. These conditions are real but they do

I'll never forgive the people who consistently and deliberately cast doubt on these figures.
I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

The way certain people talk on here about Arabs, Somalis, Latinos, Chinese Americans is basically indistinguishable from Klansman rhetoric except that it's motte and bailey'd by very flimsy complaints about voting patterns

Interestingly, a prominent Iranian Baloch militant group is changing its rhetoric and branding to a general opposition group rather than simply a Baloch separatist group - notable because these are actual hardened and effective insurgents.

The lynching of Francis McIntosh is widely considered the first public lynching in the United States modern history. Part of McIntosh's history as a victim is that they left his charred corpse, tied to the same tree at the same street corner he was burned in downtown STL, for years as an attraction.
ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.
ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.
