Israel's behavior demonstrably does not get better when people are solicitous of its security concerns. Years of quiet in the West Bank and on the Gaza front were rewarded with more land grabs. And when people aren't, they lash out with genocidal violence.
"Israel is operating under a paranoid psychosis that makes them wage endless war on their neighbors and brutally oppress half the population they rule over" is an explanation for their behavior but it doesn't really change the calculus of what we need to do to knock some sense into them.

Corralling the wealthy back into the tax system is vital not just for the $, but because the ability to dodge taxes severs their connection to the rest of us. It validates isolated-hero myth making while creating a clear goal for the hyper-rich: keep evading any ties that bind to state & society. 1/
Capital gains should be taxed when the assets are monetize, whether that's via sale or via loan
This whole story should be a MUCH BIGGER DEAL in the press now that Vivek has exposed coddling (pedophile) rapists as a core GOP value.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
Ramaswamy has policies? The Journal should let us here in Ohio know. Because he's refused to tell us, even though the Cleveland Plain Dealer asked the gubernatorial candidates the 15 most pressing questions submitted by its readers. Vivek ghosted out. Par for the Journal's course.
Someone's trying to get right after being so far right... Dems aren't even this scathing about these scumbags. www.wsj.com/opinion/thes...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

"Fidesz turned to Finkelstein, who helped Nixon & Bibi to power. With his help, Fidesz won a landslide victory in 2010. Orban remained in power, shifting Hungary to the right & battling Brussels. Drawing on Finkelstein’s playbook, Orban attacked 'migrant hordes', portrayed as an existential threat."

Trump–Orban Axis "Donald Trump's pick for ambassador to Budapest is 78-year-old businessman and investor David Cornstein, a Republican donor from New York. He had political and personal ties to the late Arthur Finkelstein, spin doctor of Orbán and Netanyahu." - @szabolcspanyi.bsky.social in 2018
