Israel’s genocide has destroyed nearly 90% of Gaza’s economy, causing the worst economic collapse ever recorded. In 2024 alone, Israel caused Gaza’s GDP to decline by 83%, according to data reported by the UN Trade and Development agency. Now, Gaza’s economy stands at just 13% of its 2022 levels.

OU Prof Joshua Landis says "he has been wrongfully detained because he has a valid H-1B visa."

I felt like I was losing my mind watching this person's remarks and had to write about how disgusting they are.
Sarah Hurwitz Profanes the Holocaust
Holocaust education has worked too well for the Obama speechwriter, since when she rationalizes Israel's genocide, "I sound obscene." Maybe sit with that, Sarah

This same question confronts foreign govts as well. Many have been cowed into appeasing Trump due to the very real pain he can inflict in the short term. But with his domestic weakness increasingly clear, a stiffer approach could add more pressure that weakens him even further in the long term.
The same question awaits the Dems. Do they act like a relatively normal party that has just gotten proof of concept for an electoral landslide, or scare themselves off of a fight they can win?
