So did he mention the Nobel Prize he so desperately wants? Or did someone mention it for him? Hmm...? How much of the speech did he make about him? Did he mention Hillary or Biden? lol.

He actually was about as proper as I have ever heard him.

I could actually listen to him without cringing every 3 minutes.

Just another remarkable moment in a day full of them.

You pick up that Sedna gold on steel Speedy yet? Tomorrow would be a good day for it, Speedy Tuesday and all….🤣

A few weeks earlier, Albanese had submitted her report to the U.N. Human Rights Council, "From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide." It accuses several global companies of profiting "from the Israeli economy of illegal occupation, apartheid and now genocide," including Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Palantir, Caterpillar, and even Booking.com. (The report also mentions that companies have been asked for comment, which appears to be the "threatening letters" referred to by the State Department.)

Whether or not one accepts Albanese's characterization of Israel's actions, the report itself is an interesting read on the economics of war. The report details how some firms profit directly from providing the state with the tools to inflict violence while others take advantage of the state's monopoly on violence to grab a monopoly on resources. Albanese calls for international sanctions, legal action, and consumer boycotts aimed at changing these companies' behavior.

The U.S. government's attempts to stop the report from being published in the
first place make it especially worth reading.
Politicians have long wanted to erode Americans' right to vote with their wallets, and they've used boycotts of Israel as a test case to introduce wide-ranging anti-boycott laws. By accusing the United Nations of "lawfare" for simply printing a report, the government is attacking the right of consumers and investors to hear information that lets them make politically conscious decisions.

We can hear Netanyahyu from America that his expressed goal was the complete removal of Palestinians from Gaza which he was carrying out with violence. It is the textbook definition of "ethnic cleansing." I didn't even know Hamas had made the accusation. I'm just taking Netanyahu at his word. Seems like we should on this one. IDK, call me crazy.

Also, his argument makes no sense. He's saying that it's not ethnic cleansing because of what happened to Jews before? It wasn't even Palestinians who did it in his claim. He's talking about other parts of the world, like Aleppo. How does this explain that what's happened the last 2 years isn't ethnic cleansing, I have no idea.

Disagree. Calling them "brainwashed" denies their agency. It was a lie they were determined to believe.

I can agree with that, but I do think some are naive. The people stirring the lies mostly knew/know better. They are probably very disappointed now too.

Israel is violating international law with the occupation of Palestine. Of course Israel is allowed to defend itself, but the occupation of Gaza makes 10/7 a reaction to Israeli violence. IDF soldiers have been tormenting and killing Palestinians for longer than Hamas has existed. IDF kills kids all the time. There is no accountability, and surprise, surprise it inspires terrorism.

Is Gaza allowed to defend itself? is the question, but Israel has tricked us into asking a different question.
