Can I strong second a good pair of noise cancelling headphones. I used the Sony WH 1000 XM3 and now use the the Sony wf 1000xm4 since the latter is in-ear and easier to carry around. The noise cancellation is…
Well that explains a lot. Seriously though, for a wealthy first world nation the levels intellectual rational debate in America is generally pretty shockingly poor.

Cool how about a tribute to the family of 10 killed (7 children) by a reaper drone along with every one of hthe 700,000 afghans killed by the petrdollar military industrial complex, or is their skin too dark to be…
You're arguing either in bad faith or completely devoid of reality. Lower mortgage rates allow existing property owners to pay off cheap houses and further expand portfolios, affecting supply. Meanwhile, zero property…
Personally (early 30s) this stresses me out almost every day. Just the anxiety of knowing in 10 years time I will be on the chopping block daily, regardless of how good I am. And frankly my generation has ridiculous…
No chance, AIPAC, BICOM and various lobby groups ensure politicians are in the pockets of the Israel lobby. This isn't to say other countries don't have corrupt lobbying practices. But the unilateral multibillion dollar…
What churlish asinine myopia. Plenty of people affected by life changing disruption to their living conditions and communities. Seveal years of putting your life on hold is a big deal.
Maybe stop stealing land and attacking worshippers on the Temple Mount? Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan speak for themselves. Rockets don't just come out of nowhere for a recreational activity.
When even AP wouldn't dare criticise Israel for destroying its building in Gaza, it's clear there's a need for a counter narrative to the one sided propaganda. And the one Jewish woman who dared to open her mouth was…
Ironically, by your own admission, you simply highlighted Israel's infrastructure control on Gaza. So it's not merely a military occupier but controls food, water and electricity supplies to the imprisoned population.…
Sure, how about I drop a 30 second "door knock" before I blow your life to smithereens because I feel like your 10 story building might be hiding a few kalashnikovs? Feel free to evacuate to the few hundred meters of…
No mention of ethnic cleansing and military checkpoint enforced apartheid where kids are harassed by fully armed soldiers? Do you want to see the B'TSelem videos? Here they detail a 5 year old child:…
Actually it's entirely on topic because it shows an alternative reality starkly juxtaposed against humanitarian propaganda. I have no doubt if this was China or Russia or Saudi Arabia being discussed it would be fair…
Funny the IDF don't really seem to be doing much search and rescue here - more like ethnic cleansing and apartheid: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-54823660 "The United Nations has rebuked Israel for…
This comment struck me as hilariously American. "We". "The bad guys".
Completely true, Rwanda (details suppressed by courts), Bosnian massacre... you name it.
Pro Israel lobbies heavily influence American Congress. Israel receives a disproportionately unique generous backing on all fronts by Western governments, therefore they deserve extra scrutiny and should be held to…
Is this really the pathetic level of discourse you hasbara trolls come up with? This is an intellectual forum for objective discourse.
Predictably any attempt at an objective, neutral discussion on this topic is immediately downvoted by the extremist Zionist lobby on HN.
I'm really glad you mentioned innocent US citizens. Have you heard of Rachel Corrie murdered by the IDF?
And thus we are in agreement: collateral damage is incidental to achieving a strategic goal.
You mean like the murder of American Rachel Corrie by the IDF which was ruled an "accident" absolving it of all responsibility?
It might be laughable to you, but perhaps you lack the perspective of random genetic luck to be born in an occupied land.
