Unironically Al Jazeera is usually a pretty solid news source, though my God they seem to have weaponized bad editorials a lot of the time.

Given that the movement dates to before World War I (i.e. even before the British took over), and many (including apparently some of those around Gaza) were formed in the 20s and 30s, I'm still not sure it's as simple as that, either.

This is a perfectly reasonable observation about the history of the kibbutzim and shift from utopian idealist to uh, what all is going on now, but that avatar cranks

I haven't been paying attention at all. How has Burns been as CIA director?

He was a career State employee- 32 years to include under secretary for Clinton. per wiki;

Wikipedia posted:

Burns served as ambassador to Jordan from 1998 to 2001, assistant secretary of state for Near East affairs from 2001 to 2005, ambassador to Russia from 2005 to 2008 and under secretary of state for political affairs from 2008 to 2011.[6]

So he's about the business and as professionally qualified as anybody ever put in charge of the Agency. He's a "symbolic" member of the cabinet, which either speaks well to his foreign policy experience and Biden's willingness to have a deep bench of careerists after the Trump years, or an indictment of the fact that post-911 we feel the foreign intelligence directorate is as vital to foreign policy as actual diplomacy.

Or both.

Only people I knew in Asia who paid US taxes were engineers.

Which makes sense if you plan to rotate back to the States and don't want ?!? years of unfucking your obligations to the IRS. Everybody else just slushes through two friendly offshores and calls it a day.

I remembered it having all kinds of language that we don't use anymore, but I did not remember just how overtly misogynistic rather than casually misogynistic the whole screed is. Just dripping with it.

The older I get, the more I realized those of us who grew up in the 90s/00s internalized a lot of misogyny barely disguised as humor, same with homophobia. Reactions to burgeoning equality in a deeply classist, capitalist society, yes. hosed up? Tremendously. Once transgressive humor stops punching up, it’s just another kind of violence.

And I’ll have a large watermelon daiquiri as well, thank you, I have exact change.

Looks like they bombed some more aid workers. Just a little whoopsie daisy.
