Yes!! Why??

TGRT Haber izliyorum, sormayın neden, yargıda CHP VESAYETİ diyorlar. Gerçek bu kadar bükülemez.

This is not to say Netanyahu's government can survive until Nov 2026 as is. Current forces are pushing Israel to make concessions that the fascist far-right party won't agree on. I won't be surprised if Netanyahu survives by getting Gantz to re-join his gov instead of Otzma l'Israel.

Netanyahu's other lie was that his coalition partners would bring the government down if the war ended before its goals were realized. In reality, Smotrich-Ben Gvir's exit threats were never credible, given polls showing them crashing in case of election. A ceasefire was signed, and they stayed in.

Netanyahu's big lie was that we need to continue fighting in Gaza to return the hostages, when all along the reality was that he needed to agree to stop the war to have the hostages returned... within 72h.

I served 4 years as an officer in a combat unit in the IDF and 8 more years as an officer in the reserves. I can assure you that the IDF is not, by any stretch of imagination, the most moral army in world.

“Just following orders”

I do bot read the crazies on Twitter but from experience, hello! Turkish political scientist here, they will.

(I assume this was largely authored by Danny Finkelstein, who has still not retracted his claim that those who describe Israel's actions as genocidal are simply antisemitic trolls, and that there is no evidence that would convince him that Israel is deliberately killing children.)

The heritage minister Amichai Eliyahu recently said that the government is “racing ahead for Gaza to be wiped out”, dismaying moderate Israelis. The laws of war stipulate that combatants must do everything within their power to safeguard ­innocent civilians. Yet too many Gazans have ­become collateral damage in a conflict devised by the fanatics of Hamas.

Difficult to convey the moral bankruptcy of this Times editorial.

Israel is a functioning parliamentary democracy that is currently engaged in genocide, but the Times blames Hamas ("they made us do it") and a few extremists (who "dismay" Israeli "moderates").

And in shocking news, all the transphobes who are all about "protecting women sports" are not supporting them.

This strips antisemitism of any meaning, weaponizes Jewish safety for fascism, and actually makes Jews less safe.

Lawmakers Question Whether CBS Canceled Colbert’s Show for Political Reasons

The answer is always: “yes, it is for political reasons.”, “yes, it is censorship.”, “yes, it is the groundwork for media capture”.

Also, the fact that not only the general public but the liberal opposition’s silence about trans rights is frustrating. We know the saying “they came for the…” Whatever an autocrat wannabe is doing to the most vulnerable and least protected is just an exercise; soon it will be “you”.

Trump’s War With Powell Throws a Little-Known Planning Board Into Scrutiny

I am constantly triggered by the path (re)taken by Trump & Co. dismantling the institutions. In theory, there is not a problem with this story. However, I, now, know it is nothing but a smoke screen into autocracy. It is maddening.

I am seeing my American liberal friends writing about the Epstein files and trying to tell MAGA voters about the hypocrisy of all. From someone who has been living through it for 23 years, I can tell you: The voters will look the other way if you are lucky. In reality, they will just be okay.

There's a lot going on in Turkey's politics right now. The repression rate is ratcheting up.

If you approach a brown, Arab, Palestinian, and/or Muslim person and demand they confirm they aren't antisemitic and won't harm Jews - you are a racist.

You don’t show your support for palestine by Harming innocent people. This is not activism. It’s not resistance. It’s not bravery. It’s cruelty, and it only leads to more pain, more fear, and a deeper divide.

I learned the meaning of principled politics the hard way. now, I know what it is: To da anything to protect human dignity and liberal democracy

So, this all “moral high horse” statements of “if it is wrong when he does it, it should be wrong when our people do it”

Or, saying Biden and Obama did this and that, too. no, it is not the same. The utlilty functions to be maximized cannot be any more different.

Your criticisms are now being used against your candidates, all the while whatever the incumbent does is okay with its constituency.
