"Why do evangelical Protestants hate Palestinians?"
Mike Huckabee describes Palestinians as "wicked, uncivilised savages" & says the very idea of "a Palestinian" is "a political tool to try & force land away from Israel".
Evangelical Christians promote the so-called "restoration" of European Jews to Palestine & their conversion to Protestantism to enable the so-called Second Coming of Jesus.
Christian Zionists in the Trump administration follow a centuries-old imperial theology that sacralises conquest, demonises Palestinians, and mandates support for Israel
Even if you believe SCOTUS will grant Trump the usurp Congress' authority to impose sanctions (and there's reason to think this will be different), you should at least mention such a decision would likely come sooner, even, than Jerome Powell is replaced. www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/16/t...
The endless stories about Trump's unchecked power in imposing purportedly emergency sanctions seems wildly uninterested in the court rulings that already deemed these tariffs unlawful.
Over 30 states from around the world convened in Bogota on Tuesday for a two-day summit to declare “concrete measures against Israel’s violations of international law”.
The “emergency summit” is co-hosted by the governments of Colombia and South Africa as co-chairs of The Hague Group, to coordinate diplomatic and legal action to counter what they describe as “a climate of impunity” enabled by Israel and its powerful allies.

I've been having electrical issue with my 94 Suburban. Batteries going bad (but under warranty) - 3 replacements in a year. Eventually the starter, distributor and alternator also went bad...
With each fix the "slow-start" issue remained - like the battery was low. It finally dawned on me that I must have an issue with the ground wire either to the engine block or chassis. I checked both and they were secure...
Then I called a friend who is a automotive savant - he asked if I had disconnected the ground wire to check for corrosion?
Me: duh! Why didn't I think of that?
Anyway, I pulled them apart and sure enough they were heavily corroded. I cleaned them and re-installed. Then turned the key and no slow start issue! (I'll be ordering new battery cables to replace both since they are original from 1994)
So if you have older vehicles, try cleaning the ground wire connections to avoid these issues.
I wonder how many cars are in junk yards because of this simple problem?
@Otto Pureblood Now you know. So what about the distributor, the alternatiors and the batteries that you thought all went bad? Were they really bad in retrospect, or were they just done in, by the intermittent ground? If they're still around you should recheck them.
I found out the importance of proper grounding when I would attach two way radios, linear amplifiers and attennas to my vehicles. Clean grounding to the chassis was a must, for both the radios and the antennas as well.
It was of utmost importantance to also ground the base of the antennas to the chissis as well. Grinding away any paint on the underside of the mounting surface of the anntena's base was key and using a heavy gauge wire to attach it to the chassis. It's good that you worked it out.
They were also bad... Caused by the intermittent ground. If special note: the voltage regulator is inside the alternator that was allowing the alternator to put out 14.4 to 14.7 volts. The circle of life in electrical form.
Not to mention the water pump was leaking from the weep hole... And by "leaking" I mean gushing.
Also, let me add a "fuck you" to the chevy engineer who thought the voltage regulator inside the alternator was a good idea.
@Otto Pureblood That's true. I usually opt for third party alternators myself, I usually use Leece-Neville's. There was a time when I had a setup where I had two alternators running with dual pulleys.
The original alternator would charge up the battery up front and the second one would charge up the batteries in the back, that run the other electronics such as inverters and such. I'm sort of a mad scientist or at least I once was. I'm not a scientist any longer but I may still be mad.

That they bent over backwards not to offend Israel, incl. not even complaining about de facto annexation of their territory, and in exchange they get death threats and their capital bombed. That the Syrian regime persecutes minorities is neither here nor there in this context. The notion that Israel is acting as protector of the Syrian Druze is ludicrous on the face of it. Not that you were necessarily making that claim.
I did not in any way, shape, or form suggest that anything "justifies" the Jolani regime's actions towards minorities. What I am saying is that those actions are not a relevant factor in explaining or understanding the dynamics of its relationship with Israel.
And with respect to that, I'm not just saying that it's ludicrous to suggest Netanyahu is protecting the Druze for the right reasons, I'm saying it's ludicrous to suggest he is protecting them at all.
You are absolutely free to disagree with that assessment, whether on insight or wishful thinking, of course. But that is what I am actually saying, not more, not less.
What I mean by that is: It is neither the intent nor the effect of Israel's intervention to protect the Druze community.
It might well be a topic in Israeli domestic policy debates, but I hope we both understand that Israeli domestic policy debates are not in any way constrained by actual reality. If Jolani was handing out puppies to Druze community, Netanyahu would claim a need to protect them if it suited him, and if Jolani slit their throats with his own hands Netanyahu would pretend it's not happening or that there's nothing to be done about it if it suits him.
You were explicitly making that point in general, abstract terms.
And if you consider lip service that both sides recognise and treat as such as "relevant" then your understanding of that term is different from one. How do human rights concerns affect the ⋅manifest, material⋅ relationship between the EU and Saudi Arabia, do you think?
Are you implying that Israeli public debates about the occupied Palestinian territories are reality-based? That its debates about its international diplomatic standing are reality-based?... Israeli discourse takes place in a parallel universe.
I was not, and have no intention on commenting what Israel "should" be doing, other than stop behaving like a rogue lawless actor. "Humanitarian intervention" is a fraught concept, conceptually and practically. But if there are any certainties in that debate, it's that ethno-suprematist, expansionist, and revanchist actors reserving the right to bomb any and all countries in the region at will and illegally occupying parts of the country in question can not be trusted to be acting in good faith or to perform interventions that in any way improve the situation.
There actually is a process for trying to get an internationally legitimised military intervention going to save a minority from being wiped out. Think about why Israel shows zero interest in pursuing that process.
The point that one side "declaring something to be relevant” makes it relevant.
Sorry, the other thing is a typo. It should read "different from MINE". The first part parses as: If you consider as relevant lip-service-that-both-sides-recognise-and-treat-as-such...
Ok, again, for the record: you think that Israeli public debates about the West Bank are reality-based?
And you think it's reality-based to think that random UN staff from Cambodia, say, "hate" Israel? As opposed to, say, have no particular feelings about Israel per se and are merely making professional assessments based on established standards?
My OP observed that Jolani tried to please Israel and was bombed regardless.
You can ⋅infer⋅ whatever the hell you want from that, but the words on the page if anything were a comment on what everyone ELSE should do, namely, not bother trying to befriend Israel, not a comment on what Israel should do.
If you want a comment on what Israel should do: Get the fuck off its neighbour's territories, stop bombing everyone, stop mass murdering people, extradite your own mass murderers to The Hague, disavow ethno-supremacism, pay reparations, etc.
I think it's fair to say this conversation has run its course.
It's clear now why you can't see the parallel universe: you're inside it. In the actual, empirical reality experience by everyone else, literally not one of those claims is even remotely true, as even a passing familiarity with the facts would make obvious.
Au Portugal, la criminalité a reculé mais sa couverture médiatique a explosé.
Une étude s’est penchée sur le traitement de la criminalité par les cinq principaux journaux portugais, entre 2000 et 2024. L’important décalage entre la réalité et la perception de l’insécurité qu’elle révèle interroge la presse.

“Savoir si la presse influence le sentiment d’insécurité de ses lecteurs revient un peu à essayer de découvrir qui est né en premier, l’œuf ou la poule, écrit le journal. D’autant plus que nous vivons dans une société très différente de celle que nous avions il y a vingt-cinq ans, notamment parce qu’elle est plus âgée et ‘gentrifiée’, et donc plus encline à valoriser la sécurité.”
Une analyse confirmée par le directeur du Sedes lui-même, le général João Vieira Borges. Sur l’antenne de la radio Renascença, ce dernier a expliqué que le principal facteur de la hausse de la médiatisation de la criminalité était “le fait que certains partis ont inscrit la sécurité à leur agenda politique, même si le Portugal reste l’un des pays les plus sûrs du monde”.

#Israel, being stuck in a costly war of attrition in #Gaza, now diverts attention to a reckless offensive against #Syria. It seems hellbent on dividing the wartorn country, or perhaps occupying its south. And the conduct of the new idiotic regime in Syria is not helping, with reports about atrocities in the #Sweida governorate committed by government forces. What pains me too is that there are little to no reliable sources to know what is happening.
Indeed. Also people shouldn't expect that by raising the white flag to the US and Israel (like the current Syrian regime already did) that Israel would stop its hostility or that the US would provide protection.
Exactly. And Israel is not protecting minorities in Al Sweida. It's in fact gravely endangering the same minorities elsewhere in Syria, especially in Damascus.
I didn’t choose this hunger. It wasn’t weakness, or a wish to die. Hunger was forced on us — used as a weapon by the occupation. They chose to starve us on purpose, denying us even the most basic needs, until our stomachs were empty and our hearts heavy with pain.
No one should have to suffer like this. If this touched you, please don’t stay silent. Share our story. Your voice can help. @palestine #gaza #freepalestine #help #palestine

Algerian Muslim Woman Stabbed To Death By ‘Racist’ Neighbour
Rahma Ayat, a 26-year-old Algerian woman studying nursing in Hanover, Germany, was stabbed to death in her apartment building by her 31-year-old neighbour.
Rahma contacted her family in Algeria to complain about her neighbour, who was constantly harassing her, making racist remarks and mocking her Hijab.
Rahma was stabbed to death on the morning of 4th July in the stairwell of her apartment building in Arnum, Hanover.
According to police and eyewitnesses, neighbours heard her cries for help and alerted authorities. She was found with multiple stab wounds to her chest and shoulder, and died shortly after emergency services arrived.
A 31-year-old German man who lived in the same building was arrested later that day and remains in custody.
Despite repeatedly complaining to the German police about her neighbour, the complaints were "not taken seriously."
The Muslim Community and her family are calling for her killing to be recognised as a racially motivated hate crime, following reports that she had been repeatedly harassed for wearing the #Hijab.
Hola gentes del fediverso, estoy pensando en abandonar Obsidian (lo tengo bastante sobredimensionado, al final pierdo más tiempo en cosas estéticas que en lo que quiero poner) por LogSeq que es open source, alguien lo ha probado? Gracias de Antequera.
Hola, sí. Yo uso logseq para tomar notas en el trabajo. Apuntarme procedimientos, cosillas que sé que se me van a olvidar... A mí me gusta mucho como se organiza con las hojas tipo diario y el enlazado de páginas con hashtags. Yo llegué desde OneNote y lo único que echo de menos es la organización en libros>secciones>páginas>subpáginas, y poder organizarlo todo libremente en un lienzo 2D, ya que logseq es markdown (tiene también lo de las pizarras, pero no me gusta mucho).
yo lo uso. Me gusta que puedes hacer muchos niveles de organización (no sé como se llama, pero tengo punto 1, 1.1, 1.1.1... hasta el infinito) y "minimizarlos", cosa que cuando probé obsidian me suena que me frustró no poder hacer. Para lo demás no sé que decirte, yo lo que uso mucho son los tags, pero es uqe no lo uso como toma de notas sino para organizar materiales docentes y apuntes
a mi me echo para atrás el no poder escribir sin que todo sean viñetas. Yo volví a Obsidian, quite el 80% de plugins y volví a simplificar. Lo que mas me gustaba de logseq es lo de arrancar de la vista diaria continúa, pero podría tenerlo en Obsidian
yo lo uso diariamente, básicamente como diario y como repositorio de notas enlazadas y guay, yo pago lo de 5$ al mes para tener sincronizadas las notas entre dispositivos...
yo uso #logseq diariamente desde hace años. Va bien, es casi idéntico a #obsidian. Tiene dos diferencias importantes.
1) que todo parte de un diario, y desde allí enlazas o creas otras notas. La verdad es que va muy bien porque es rápido y no tienes que preocuparte de donde guardas notas inicialmente (luego puedes moverflas fácilmente siempre, sin romper links)
