This + America's failing electrical grid infrastructure terrifies me. I can't imagine how awful it must be in the global south. They're even more hosed.

While the Israel electric company is very corrupt the grid seems to be in good condition, on the Palestinian side though...

To a layman, 35 degrees wet bulb temp is the point where the air is 100% humid at 35 degrees Celsius. At this point, it can carry no more water so evaporative cooling via sweating doesn’t work - the sweat simply will not evaporate. At this point your body can’t shed waste heat (which it generates at a constant ~100 watts while doing literally nothing) and you eventually go hyperthermic and die. Higher temperatures with dry air are ironically much safer since given enough water you’ll sweat enough to dissipate the heat. They’re just exhausting since your body is spending more energy moving water around to sweat out, which has an energy cost.

The excuse given quite often especially in east Jerusalem is that the buildings being forcibly demolished were built without a permit. I bet you can guess how many permits have been issued for Arab construction in Jerusalem since 1967.

quote:Bennett proposed a compromise with liberal members of the coalition that would have extended the law by six months while offering residency rights to some 1,600 Arab families, a fraction of those affected. "You can have what you want, or you can have a fraction of what you want, because we're fremds  ", hell of a compromise.

DarkCrawler posted:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/06/israeli-pm-suffers-setback-in-vote-on-arab-citizenship-rights-law That's really interesting, because right-wing MKs outnumber the left quite considerably in the Knesset. That's why a guy like Bennett is PM now - the current governing coalition is a left-right alliance to oppose Bibi's far-right alliance, so the Knesset should still have a comfortable majority in favor of conservatism and racism. There are definitely not 59 votes for Palestinian equality in this Knesset. The Guardian fails to elaborate on this stuff, but JPost has got an explanation. https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/why-is-the-citizenship-law-dividing-the-govt-explainer-672967 quote:Although opposition parties Likud, United Torah Judaism, Shas and MKs from the Religious Zionist Party all repeatedly voted to extend the law when in power, they have refused to support its further extension under the new coalition as a way to embarrass the government. So Netanyahu's whole alliance is voting with the left and the Arab parties, and demanding much further-right legislation as the price to stop. Pressuring right-wing Bennett by threatening to push politics left and blame him for it, while shoring up their own right-wing cred by demanding far-right legislation that the left parties would absolutely hate. It's a high-risk, high-reward strategy, and I'm surprised he's managed to unite the entire opposition behind it. I don't have much faith in Bennett's will to resist it, though.

So I’m sure by now everyone has heard about Ben & Jerry’s saying that they will no longer sell their products in the Occupied Territories, which has led to US and Israeli politicians losing their goddamn minds. https://twitter.com/abc7ny/status/1417778927553163266?s=21 https://twitter.com/senatorlankford/status/1417813410818019329?s=21 That last one is a good way to get OK’s law challenged on 1st Amendment grounds I believe that the Israeli PM made some vague threats about doing something in response to this but I haven’t heard if they are taking any action. B&J is owned by Unilever which is an enormous corporation.

This is an absolutely fantastic example of "proof you can't do anything". The entire world, including at times the US, considers those occupations of Palestinian land by Israeli groups to be illegal and a violation of international law. All B&J's is doing is not selling ice cream in those specific areas. That even this extremely targeted and mild protest is getting this kind of pushback is the international equivalent of the Bors cartoon where you're not allowed to protest, you're just allowed to die.

They intend to stop selling in OPT, and whether or not they still sell in Israel was up to the board; Unilever overstepped their boundaries. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/ben-jerry-s-withdraws-sales-israeli-settlements-clashes-parent-company-n1274403 Honestly, if Israel is declaring them antisemitic terrorists for withdrawing from illegal settlements, I could see them mustering the spite to not pursue a new distribution agreement.

I know they won’t hold up in court but it still blows my mind we have a majority of states with laws stating you must bow before a foreign power and questions their policies is forbidden in order to do business with the domestic government Also  the Israeli PM basically threatened illegal retaliation against an American company for not selling ice cream to illegal settlements and no one in power in our country gave a poo poo. Could you imagine if China made vague threats about illegal attacks against an American company because they refused to do business there over human rights violations? TV anchors and senators would be crying for the harshest penalties

HootTheOwl posted:Dumb question: But if you don't sell in occupied territories and do sell in Israel this only stops Palestinians from buying right? There's a manufacturing facility and two shops south of Tel Aviv that they appear to be contracted through until 2022. The comment about staying in Israel came from Unilever without consulting B&J and according to this section: quote:When Unilever acquired Ben & Jerry's in 2000, the companies crafted an unusual acquisition agreement that legally vested an independent board with control over the ice cream company's social mission, brand integrity and policies. That means the board has to approve any changes to the product, licensing deals, new markets and social mission statements. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/ben-jerry-s-withdraws-sales-israeli-settlements-clashes-parent-company-n1274403 So the message is muddled because Unilever is undercutting it.

Yeah I'm not sure why I should assume Israel lets Palestinians have anything in Gaza or the West Bank, but if the question is "doesn't this mean no Palestinians get Ben and Jerry's either" that includes people in Gaza, who have a very strict embargo imposed on them.

"Occupied territories" means the israeli settlements, not the whole West Bank. I don't think the settlements are generally where palestinians go shopping. Or are allowed to go shopping if they wanted to risk being beaten to death by a crowed of chuds at the grocery store.

Ok so if I have it right: BnJ was going to pull out of Israel (or at the very least terminate their contract with a Tel Aviv plant) Unilever stepped in (because the own them) and made them stay in Israel BnJ therefore could only pull out of the occupied territories, which are only the settlement parts.

The American media machine has spent the last 5 years hemming and hawing over how a handful of memes posted by Russian edgelord teens stole the election for the red team in 2016, but you're an anti-semite or islamophobe if you question how much money and influence the Israeli or Saudi government holds over US policy.
