@nedhamson Inexcusable, the amount of Hamas hate and atrocities. They have turned it into we scorch you, or you scorch us situation and Israel will be sure to oblige them, along with many of the 2M citizens living in Gaza becoming “justified“ victims. A legitimate question might be how much oppression can Israel deal out, before people strike back?

3/ Oy. I got that last one completely out of order. I’m starting here again:
Justice Engoron takes the bench.
He starts talking about non-jury trial, and he explains the background.
Engoron:
"I believe what happened here is that [AG] clearly checked off non-jury."
But Engoron says it wouldn't have mattered if Trump's team asked, bc the relief was equitable.
"It would not have helped to make a motion, nobody forgot to check off a box."
Habba: "I would like to say thank you, Your Honor."
4/
Background:
The AG's office checked the box for "Trial without jury" in their notice, and Trump's defense team did not submit a corresponding notice demanding a jury.
Putting the matter to rest, Engoron says it wouldn't have mattered. Trump would have lost any such request.
@KimPerales Could this be let it happen, because it will be good for me? 🤔
As we suspected, Netanyahu was warned: Egyptian Intelligence Minister called Netanyahu ten days before Hamas attack and warned him of "something unusual, a terrible operation" that was about to take place from Gaza.
Egyptians were "surprised by the indifference shown by Netanyahu". — Yedioth Ahranoth
@largess I frequently mention the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter. You can easily apply these ideas to humanities current situation as destroyers degrading the Earth. We know, but are apparently helpless to make the required changes. And to add an extra wrinkle:

@JoshuaHolland We do a much better job of not getting along and killing each other, than acting like the smartest species and caretakers of the planet. This killing including Ukraine, and genocide is just the icing on the cake of our spectacular failures. 😢
The Israeli gov is not only starving and denying medical care to 2 million Gazans, it’s announced openly and explicitly that it intends to target civilians and because of the savagery of Hamas’s attack, most of the world is supporting them unconditionally. They’ve been given carte blanche to commit war crimes. #israel #hamas #warcrimes
@NewSpaceEconomy A scientific certainty. 🙂
@uspolitics Donny has a problem keeping secrets. He l can’t help impressing people about what he “knows”. 🔥
