The Houthi shipping blockade is explicitly in defense of Gaza.

The genocide must flow

The main takeaway is that Google uses Chrome to collect data on what search results people click on and how long they spend on those pages. They then use that data to rank search results.

He’s alienated the young people who could make up for his own lack of charisma with youthful energy, and he can’t even campaign properly because he gets protested every time he shows his face. He’s toast.

For just $320 million what do you expect? If only Gaza weren’t surrounded by water on all sides. Then we could just truck aid in.

It’s not very typical, I’d like to make that clear.

In practice, I suspect the most important factor in eliminating child labor will actually be simply shrinking extreme poverty.

Let’s start at home.

I agree that this another reason we need vigorous antitrust enforcement.

It’s not a trivial problem, but I don’t think it’s insurmountable for the multinational corporations that actually care. If journalists can uncover this kind of thing without any inside information, corporations can do it too. And if consumers care enough, the corporations will care.

Here’s a toolkit from the US Department of Labor:

Child and forced labor in supply chains present serious and material risks to companies and industries. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Comply Chain tool helps companies mitigate these risks by building or improving worker-driven social compliance systems, which empower workers to play a central role in identifying and addressing labor rights violations and other concerns within their workplaces.

You seem to be malfunctioning. Your just mindlessly repeating worn out, discredited talking points

L’Oreal and Estee Lauder are also targets of the BDS boycott to support Palestinians. The No Thanks app (iOS, Android) is a convenient way to check products while you shop.

Not with that attitude. I’m kidding, but not totally. Consumers and voters need to demand better. Fatalism helps no one.

Oh my bad, soldiers and police trying to protect concertgoers from getting slaughtered wholesale at a music festival are fair game. Do you hear yourself?

You should pay more attention to the history of the thread you’re commenting in.

It was a total coincidence that it happened right after Hamas fired rockets at Tel-Aviv for the first time in months. \s

If the US were invaded by Australia, we would fight them on the shores of California and the fields of Pennsylvania, but we would also rain down hellfire on Perth and Sydney. I’m not sure why you think the history of the particular place the IOF soldiers were stationed at is relevant. That’s setting aside that the reason the occupation troops were there is to enforce the siege of Gaza that has been in place since 2007.

Occupying Palestine. If you think Israel has a right to exist within the pre-1967 borders, then occupying Gaza and the West Bank.

Don’t compare the oppressors and colonizers to the freedom fighters.

In its bare reality, decolonization reeks of red-hot cannonballs and bloody knives. For the last can be the first only after a murderous and decisive confrontation between the two protagonists. This determination to have the last move up to the front, to have them clamber up (too quickly, say some) the famous echelons of an organized society, can only succeed by resorting to every means, including, of course, violence.

Soldiers of an occupying force are fair game.
