I guess my phrasing wasn’t great on that, but also deeply skeptical of literally everything that came out of Rush’s mouth.

I’m confused. Are Feiglin, Ben-Gvir, and Smotrich not Israeli?
Quotes from a right-wing Israeli get together in January isn’t completely out of context, but it is pretty out of context for a reaction article to something in June.
Him quoting Hitler isn’t even the main issue in this case
I think it sort of is in the context of this article if the author is seeking a response to cite.
Lastly, if there are not a lot of public quotes condemning this coming out of Israel, for them to quote, isn’t that itself kind of a problem?
Sure, that is possible. But you would assume someone citing Hitler in Israel would get some sort of response, so not touching that at all seems like an omission. Yanis’s thoughts on that are less interesting to me than a random Israeli teenager on Omegle. Also, this Feiglin person seems to have last held office in 2015 (I don’t know, just a quick Google), which might be useful context. I want to know if this nutter has any hope of grasping political power, or if he’s the equivalent of Rush Limbaugh.
I don’t know understand why this article would quote Yanis Varoufakis or Trita Parsi, but not a single Israeli. Does Moshe Feiglin have meaningful support? Is he likely to hold a seat in the Knesset? What are the odds his party gains seats against Likud in the next election?
Do I have the wrong expectation of what journalism is?
Not to downplay the seriousness of the title or claims, but undergraduate enrollment is in a relatively steep decline. It seems to go without saying that faculty members without tenure would be near the top of the list for cuts.
Side note…did theintercept recently go paywalled? I don’t remember having issues in the past.
Strangely, no notification of your response on my screen like I normally get from post responses.
Anyway, I’m just saying that an article from an expressively libertarian education platform citing an outwardly libertarian think tank is a double whammy of credibility degradation. A communist source would generally be bad, a communist source citing a communist source would be double bad. I just don’t think publications with a proud ideological bent make for reliable sources, but that charge is less meaningful if they draw on information and content that is unaligned with their core beliefs.
Not all that convincing, particularly when it draws quotes from other libertarian sources.
There is no downvote button on Beehaw.
I don’t think that “bigwig” has a negative connotation, but maybe I miss its common use.
By my quick math, about 25% of the U.S. population lives in states and territories with neutral to progressive tax burdens.
Is the title editorialized?
Original: Netanyahu Calls Palestinians ‘Collateral Damage’ As Israel Destroys Gaza Post title: Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says Palestinian civilians being killed en masse are simply “collateral damage”
The revised title reads as Netanyahu using the world simply, which doesn’t appear to be the case in the article.
Generically, security cameras are computers in a box that have a good camera, a surprising amount of processing power to deal with the video stream, and an evolving level of ability to do inference. Hikvision is/was effectively the leading networked security/surveillance camera manufacturer on the planet for the combination of price and quality, but it seems odd to blame the company for what is a sort of generic tool at this point - maybe a bad analogy, but it would be like blaming Google for Android devices being everywhere.
Your view, if I’m parsing this correctly, is that because Palestinians were wronged 75 years ago by the creation of Israel, the Israeli state should not exist - and that while violence is wrong, Palestinians inherently have a more legitimate right to violence - is that an accurate framing of your view?
If I have that right, is there a point in time, or a number of generations of living on the land, that grants Israelis rights or determination or legitimacy to the land, in your view?
You can point out back and forth violence going into the 1800s. Nobody has clean hands in this conflict.
Can anybody translate the video?
I think the headlines play on mushrooms for outrage and clickbait. It makes readers feel better that there is something tangible that can be “controlled” rather than a hard to define cause of someone’s seemingly functional brain misfiring badly.
Another article said he did shrooms 48 hours before the flight.
The ADL was barely covered in the article. It was mostly anecdotes of jewish college students being or feeling attacked for outwardly expressing identity. I don’t think you meant it this way, but leading by questioning the ADL’s behavior seems to miss the point.
You can be appalled at both at the same time.
I think prior posts cover things pretty well, but I wanted to add a couple of ideas/thoughts:
I follow a couple of channels on youtube that post replays of interesting radio communications between pilots and air traffic control. There are technical issues that cause departing flights to return to the airport virtually every single day. Electronics, landing gear stuck down or stuck up, engine stall, engine fire, flaps jam, a sensor says something unexpected. Every brand of airplane imaginable. Pilots are trained to navigate every possible failure mode a plane can encounter. Getting permission to carry commercial passengers requires an incredible level of training and testing. Commercial planes are rigorously engineered.
I’m not trying to carry water for Boeing, but this article describes a relatively common operation (as far as I can tell).
