from Bloomberg's Javier Blas, energy columnist about 5 hours ago:

"The Saudi-Israeli diplomatic deal, which many had penciled in for early-to-mid 2024, is a casualty. Even if Riyadh is likely furious with Hamas, it’s difficult to see how Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman would be able to sell the deal domestically. That, in turn, removes the potential for Saudi Arabia pumping more oil to help passage of the deal in Washington. The other victim of the Hamas-Isaeli war is the Saudi-Iranian rapprochement, which itself was another bearish element for oil."

Why would it hurt Saudi Iran relations?

It's not THAT difficult to dodge the draft, and if you're afraid of getting disowned by your parents or something, it's also not that hard to avoid being a combatant and you have to TRY to be a serious intelligence guy or something. Just land one of those bureaucratic office jobs where you just make a bunch of bullshit phone calls and paperwork instead if actually meaningfully contributing and sit on your rear end until you're free.

A lot of Ukrainians practicing their conga skills in Russian minefields right now had a similar idea.

Didn't Israel end up with a ton of covid vaccines they couldn't get anyone to take while the Palestinians had none? I can only assume they handed them over in a gesture of goodwill. Not looking into this further.

Not surprising though, when it comes to genocide my garbage country added a couple of chapters to the manual. Some of them so bad that it made even the Germans blush. The right wing around here loves Israel now, cause Bibi&friends are free to do what our Nazis can only dream about.

"Too many rockets, ran out of anti rocket rockets"

It doesn't matter at all though. They were never going to intercept more than a handfull of missiles. If you can launch a few thousands missile defense is going to do gently caress all.

You know it never ceases to amaze me that the foundational myth of the Jewish people, one of the most recognizable stories in the Western canon is Exodus, a story about God delivering people from bondage by inflicting enormous suffering and death on their oppressors.

And the moral of the story is that Ramses was wrong. His arrogance and power blinded him to the suffering his system was inflicting, and how sooner or later the wheel turns.

Not sure why I think about that. The lesson certainly has no application to current events.

Yeah Ramses was wrong. Can't negotiate with terrorists.

The Galicia that people know about is a part of Spain. The historical Galicia that you are referring to doesn’t even exist anymore, according to Google it’s split between Poland and Ukraine. Spanish Galicia doesn’t have anything to do with this, and to most people Eastern Europe Galicia is completely unknown ancient history. This is like if you were posting about Georgia the country and somehow no one had ever heard of it.

It's actually pretty relevant, going by the Canadian parliament.

that's right.

the possible outcomes seem to be:
- no out way is found, and israel genocides the palestinians.
- some way out is found, and israel ethnically cleanses palestine.
- israel is defeated and apartheid is ended by force of arms.

the core's material support for the former two outcomes and visceral opposition to the third is, at this point, essentially indistinguishable from nazism.

Yeah, seems like a bad idea for hezbollah to try for an incursion into Israel now. Might end up looking like the Ukrainian spring offensive.
