I’ll be honest, I’ve only seen a few images of hostages returned to Israel and all of them looked healthy. I had expected their condition to be worse. That said, I’ve not looked at any video and only a few images, so I could be missing something. What are the allegations and evidence of allegations being provided by those who have been returned? I’m not invested in either side of that conflict, so I don’t feel a need for either side to be the “right” side.

The description of events she provided should have produced physical evidence. Bruises at a minimum. Did she publish photo evidence?

Europe needs to figure out energy independence so they can say no to Russia without relying on America for energy.

Sensationalists claims stop being sensationalist when they are confirmed with objectively verifiable facts. That’s when claims should be accepted. Until then, the burden of proof is on the one making the claim.

The problem is wages, not housing prices.

China won’t stop until someone gives them a bloody nose.

Do we know the proximate cause yet? Accident? Targeted?

Reading between the lines, I think there’s a corruption problem where someone is stealing wine purchased for the church and being sold at bars. A new brand/label might be an effort to change processes to make this type of corruption more difficult or easier to uncover.

Seems like irrigation stopped as people focused their efforts on war and survival.

Does theintercept.com have any way of knowing if her money was funneled into Hamas?

I sincerely believe that the world is a lot less extreme than what social media is telling us. Exceptions, yes, but those are exceptions. Most of the discussion that takes place anymore is driven by sociologically hacking us, done by interested parties to drive division and distrust. It happens on all sides. That doesn’t mean you should drop your support for peaceful protest, aid delivery, etc., but it does mean we should be aware of propaganda and manipulation that confirms our own biases. The effect of the rush to extremes is that we then create extreme situations. The world is getting uglier and uglier, largely driven by this problem.

Do we have any sources that aren’t biased toward making her treatment look bad?

We also have no evidence any of this happened. It is easy to make propaganda when we want to believe it.

Henry VIII would not approve.

I don’t agree with LDS but I can respect this. “Love your enemy” should be the default but it rarely is.

This type of killing is unusual. For all at know he owed money to less than moral people.

Is there a local police department anywhere in this country that’ll stand up to this evil? States rights and the 10th amendment have meaning.

Nobody is coming for you. Nobody cares about you or what you think. Sorry to break it to you.

Your insults remind me of toddler trying to argue. You should let someone more intelligent represent your position. Someone who speaks well and can use more than a childish insult. Leftists do have good points but you should never be the one to try to represent them.

I’m sure they are looking for some sense of organization, a group that they can define and eliminate. That’s not going to happen. Read “The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations.” This is a leaderless movement where the rhetoric of some inspires others to violence without there being any material connection between the two. It’ll increase and it won’t stop so long as the conditions continue and so long as these don’t morph into an organization with leadership.
