All Hate Matters

Democrats condemning anti-semitism? It's complicated!

This generational divide has been a slow train wreck coming. My guess? I will say that old-timers like me grew up with the Six Day war, the 1973 war, and the 1972 Munich Olympics. Distinguishing the good guys from the bad guys was pretty easy and Israel also benefited from an underdog status

My kids have grown up with two decades of Intifadas, Jewish settlements, and images of an unassailable Israel beating down hapless Palestinians. Arguments about the two-state solution and the right of return get pushed to one side - the Palestinians look like the sympathetic underdogs to them.

For a bit of flavor, this is from a guest piece in Vox by a Palestinian activist:

For her, this means speaking up for victims of the Saudi war on Yemen and citizens living under the brutal Saudi regime. It also means speaking up for the Palestinians. Just as it is becoming clearer to many Americans that a progressive agenda in the United States includes solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for freedom and equality, Omar’s support for Palestinians is part of her core belief system. As such, she and other new members of Congress are creating the space for others to speak up on this issue without fear.

Omar was elected in 2018, a remarkably deadly year for Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli military. According to a United Nations Human Rights Council Report, the Israeli military killed 138 protesters and injured more than 9,000 others between March and December of that year. They protested to demand an end to 70 years of refugeehood, while also demanding an end to Israel’s cruel and illegal siege of Gaza during weekly protests known as the Great March of Return.

I give that an eye-roll. I suspect Nancy Pelosi does too, but she has to herd these people and good luck to her.

EXCELLENT: Jonathan Chait goes all around on this.

Since Mr. Clyburn dismisses the pain and suffering endured by people who are still living among us, his statement seems to obviate the need for us to pay reparations to black Americans, none of who are alive today who were once in chains. Thanks for that clarification, sir.

The delegation from UCLG emphasized the need to acknowledge the vital role that local governments play in the execution of the global agenda, especially laying the groundwork for the social transformations necessary to meet the ambitious goals set out by the 2030 Commitment. At the same time they underscored the importance of resources and skills needed to train local governments on how to meet their responsibilities and obligations to their citizens, stating that more than 65% of the goals of the SDGs depend directly on the services allotted by these levels of government. In addition, the delegation appealed to the participants to form new partnerships and underscored the work being done within the network of local governments around localization with the support of UN Habitat and UNDP in particular.

Funny how our space program went from aircraft carriers and multiple helicopters to SpaceX's rescue boat. That video looked like it was from someone's iPhone instead of the 8 x 35mm and 70mm cameras NASA used in the day.

The biggest change, I think, is that space travel has been normalized. Somehow we have gotten through the gap in launch capability and are coming out on top.

There was an article a week or so ago saying that Arianespace basically chose unwisely when they decide on single use rockets. Now their launches are cost prohibitive.

And you have to love the Japanese. They are developing technology to clean up space junk just like they do at major sporting events.

I don't think most people yet realize that we are entering a new era, maybe a golden era of space exploration.And that gives me hope.

Branson strikes me as a carnival barker along with the rest of the space tourist crowd.

But imagine expanding the ISS into something major. Manufacturing, new ways of growing food.

The only real problem is that the human body can only take so much space. But I think we'll figure that one out.

To Infinity and beyond!

Before Michael Cohen's testimony last week, he and Adam Schiff met for TEN hours. But last Sunday, Schiff told CBS his only contact with Cohen was to "invite him to testify" and "allay concerns."

Really? That took 10 hours?

We need answers. Did Democrats lead the witness?
