Why do lambdas (nameless functions) have an entirely different form from named functions? The body in the first is a single expression, in the second is a sequence of statements.
Fun fact: Python syntax makes it impossible for functions with statement bodies from being included in expressions.

You’re using “Israeli” as a synonym for “Zionist”.
There are some Israelis (admittedly in the minority) who would disagree with that.

The primary support for Israel comes from fundamentalist Christians, not Jews.
This support doesn’t actually make any rational sense in terms of power politics, strategic interests etc. It all seems to be tied in with religious doctrine.

The anti-slavery movement arose out of a basic concern for our common humanity, not from any religion. None of the major religions had anything bad to say about slavery, as witness the centuries that their practitioners happily put up with it.

Here in 🇳🇿, we have, for the first time I can remember, a Government (right-leaning, left) that wants to blame the previous administration (left-leaning) for an economic mess that they don’t seem able to make better.
That is, when they’re not claiming that they are making it better.
