“Kids in Gaza are now dying from the deliberate withholding of food. In addition to the horror of that news, one other thing is true: That is a war crime. It is a textbook war crime, and that makes those who orchestrate it war criminals.”

How would the ROs react if in relationship stage MC accidentally introduced them as their husband/wife while talking to someone?

Nate, unsurprisingly, corrects you in the next breath. Not only is his image of being engaged to Eva in jeopardy with that statement but it makes your 'relationship' waaaaay too serious for him. He does it harshly too and if you take offence there will be an argument and shouting match subsequently.

The smile on Eva's face would start small and keep growing all day! She gets a warm feeling in her tummy and gazes at you softly, which does nothing to deter the other person from the truth. She takes it in her stride and goes with it, letting herself imagine that it was true, just for a moment──that the ring on her finger from Nate had actually been from you.

Mica doesn't react, in fact adds to your slip up casually. They step closer to you (if they weren't already right next to you) and take your hand in theirs. Or maybe they'd silently take the thing you were holding or slip your bag off your shoulder and over theirs. They give the other person a wide and kind smile and say nothing.

Detective Han freezes up, poor thing. Their face doesn't change but it looks like their chest has stopped moving, stopped breathing. And they have──they're holding their breath for your next words so that they don't have to stumble over theirs. They wait for you to correct yourself, slowly relaxing if you do. And if you don't you might have to get them out of there quickly or they might actually pass out. Intimidating my ass.

José will grin cheekily and wink at the other person. They'll very obviously over exaggerate the connection between the two of you, spinning a tall tale about your star crossed romance and how you gave up a life of money and stability just for them and their love. Will not let you live it down. If you actually get married they'll bring it up in their vows or the speeches.

Ji Han goes with it for your sake. He doesn't want to embarrass you if he doesn't have to. He introduces himself afterwards with a subtle nod to his new title and takes charge of the conversation to steer it elsewhere as soon as possible. Will use it against you when you least expect it. Whispers his new title in your ear during sex to catch you off guard during a climax kind of tease.

Fauve's eyes will go wide and she'll turn to stare at you in shock. She's actually speechless for once. The other person takes this shock and misreads it as you accidentally proposed right in front of them. They're cheering and drawing a crowd. Fauve is still staring at you, jaw hanging slightly as she tries to reboot her brain. Her heart leaps at the thought, and once it's registered she's all smirks and playful winks complaining about where her ring is. Get to it MC!

Jackson takes it in his stride. You'd have talked about marriage with him before, mainly what it was like for him and what he thought of it after going through a divorce. He settles on thinking that conversation was still fresh in your mind for some reason and that's why you introduced him as you did. He politely corrects you with a kind smile but his hand on your back as you walk away from the other person doesn't go unnoticed!

??? will straight up blush! They become a flustered mess making the two of you look like a freshly married couple who's still in the frustratingly adorable stage. They don't bring it up after you leave, or like ever again, but it's a staple memory in your relationship now.

Just gonna leave this one here to go with that one scene...

Blocking US weapons to Israel "on the table".

Now, this is a statement from a Senator, not the White House, and Biden has recently made clear that a total ban on arms shipments is not on the table (he specified maintaining the Iron Dome, which is a defensive system).

But this does underscore that America's support for Israel is NOT a blank check for Benjamin Netanyahu to do whatever he wants.

Apply the Leahy Act to Israel, say US senators

"The Leahy Law holds all countries to the same standard, yet it appears that the IDF, by far the largest recipient of US military assistance may be held to a different standard.”

i really wonder how miyroswap!Kiki lives in her world, since she's constantly Zurka with no break [she hates being herself with a passion. unfortunately]. Does she couchsurf on fans' couches and rely on the kindness of strangers who think they know her better than they really do? Does she ever stay with Xenon, or does he hate what she's turned herself into so much that she's shunned on the first attempt and doesnt try again? Or does she try frequently with no success? Does she just. live on roofs and abandoned buildings set for demolition or something.

“unicef & who have called for an IMMEDIATE PAUSE in hostilities in G@za to vaccinate children against the further spread of the insidious poliovirus. POTUS should do the same. As we work toward a permanent ceasefire & return of hostages, we must stop the spread of polio NOW.”

I should get weirder with Kiki's eyes they're literally yellow

What's gone underreported since the October 7th terrorist attack which started the Israel-Hamas war is that extremist Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have increasingly been attacking Palestinian residents there.

The US is now taking action against violent settlers.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said in a Sunday interview he was “pleased” to see President Biden announce he would take measures to more forcefully combat settler violence in the West Bank, specifically noting his suggestion for a restriction on travel visas. “I was pleased to hear the president say what he said, and I fully support the president’s plan to restrict visas from people who have a record of violence against innocent people,” Van Hollen said in an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.” “I think that’s an important first step,” he added. Van Hollen’s remarks come as many Democrats have increased calls for the White House to focus more on the loss of life among innocent Palestinians as the war continues in the region.

This settler violence is not new. But settlers are taking advantage of the distraction in Gaza to ramp up their savagery.

“Extreme settler violence against Palestinians has been an issue for a very long time. We’ve seen a huge spike in extremist settler violence since the Gaza war started, as people have been focused on the war there,” Van Hollen said.

As of Thursday, over 120 West Bank Palestinians have been killed in settler-instigated violence since October 7th.

The West Bank Israeli settlers have been the biggest impediment to Israel-Palestine peace for decades. They are mostly religious fanatics and ethno-nationalists who believe Israel should have the same boundaries it had 3,000 years ago. Though there is also a segment of opportunistic settlers who are there because far-right Israeli governments had promised them cheap housing and land in the occupied territories.

The far right in Israel as exemplified by Bibi Netanyahu and the Hamas Islamic extremists had been strange allies – until October 7th. Both oppose a two-state solution and implicitly favor their own versions of the "from the river to the sea" implied genocide.

I hope the decades-late sanctions against extremist Israeli settlers by the US will send a clear signal that encroachments on Palestinian land will not be tolerated.

As for those who claim that Israel has a Biblical right to the West Bank and Gaza: Get a life! There's nothing like religious fanaticism to inflame a conflict. Hamas is not the only group of fanatics motivated by religious radicalism in the region.

The US has recognized the right of Israel to exist since its inception. I support that. But using the Bible as a blueprint for 21st century geopolitics is no more legit than using it as a science textbook.
