We had to build a very expensive and risky pier to get aid into to Gaza instead of just sending it through our ally Israel to be delivered over the ground. There's something different than a normal ally relationship.

Blame the Israeli public for not wanting to feed their enemy.

And not letting themselves or anyone else feed them either, huh?

The US political system is this. It has not been recently "captured". This is business as usual for them.

it... feels... more captured than usual, lately

Not to those who have been on the receiving end. It's just less concealed, which in some ways is quite refreshing.

This is gonna be interesting with all the anti-zionist Jews in the US or the religious zionist evangelical christians...

But it's in line with the pro-Israel pattern of putting words into peoples' mouth or simply asserting that certain terms are "codes" that mean something different than what the speaker actually said.

Israel is done being on the receiving end of the Iranian octopus. No more Iranian missiles, rockets, drones, or Iranian funded and directed Islamist terrorists on its borders. Only Syria is an exception: there, it was internal Druze pressure on the Israeli government to act to protect their brothers in Syria.

Israel and the US are the number one terrorists on the planet. Israel started this fight and continues to fan the flames of war in the region. Israel instead should be a democracy with equal rights for all subject to its rule instead of an oppressive, expansionist, Jewish-supremacist state. Israel’s existence by violence is the source of the problem. Israel’s dismantlement is the answer. So, which reply will you go w…

Multiple commenters here are asking if the towns and villages were ever included in Apple maps in the first place, and some people are saying we should obviously assume they were. However, a quick search reveals at least a few people claiming that Apple Maps has always been empty for Lebanon outside of major cities (and at least one commenter says they are Lebanese): https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/1sjmrol/co…

Here's a screenshot from a 2020 tweet that implies this was the case (although it is not zoomed in very far). https://x.com/hezbolsonaro/status/1310354231795171328 Still odd because OSM has all these towns and Apple appears to be using the OSM street network, but not showing the labels

Interesting. Would be good to know if there are any other locations with the same condition.

Yeah, the bubble is well fortified in all directions. Maybe ask them if they hate themselves.
