Yes, that’s true. I don’t like BB, his far-right party, or his politics in limiting Israelis’ freedom of speech and supporting the expansion of illegal Jewish settlements. Similarly, I despise Trump, evangelicals, and gun lobbyists in the US. However, that does not make me bosom buddies with Islamic terrorists or the pro-Islam and pro-Russia idiots on the left.

“only in the United States”, as usual!

In the West Bank, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) is the key player and just like Hamas, it is a reliable source of information (coughing, hospital bombing).

This is beyond stupid.

The thing is that it can’t be a ceasefire until Hamas frees all the hostages. And even then, there is no guarantee that there won’t be another terrorist attack.

Blindly accepting the claims of a terrorist organization is the new norm apparently.

Why 700? Why not 701 or 698?! Gaza is controlled by Hamas. Gaza’s authorities are Hamas. Everything they say is blatantly false and only serves their purpose, which is to annihilate anyone who is not a Muslim. The fact that so-called news agencies use them as a source highlights the issues with the media in this day and age.

Yes, let’s find ways to justify Hamas’s barbaric terror attacks! This Whataboutism is sickening.

Good! I hope they wipe Gaza off of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and their supporters once and for all.

Sadly, I already have them.

True, but I got 7 Pro last year and I’m happy with it therefore don’t want to upgrade my perfectly fine phone especially considering its low trade-in value if I decide to trade it for an upgrade and receive the Watch2 as a free (!!) bonus. However, for someone actively looking to upgrade their phone, I think the bundle deal is absolutely great for them.

Well, it seems like I’ll let my $200 Google credit expire because the pricing of the new Watch is ridiculous and unjustifiable for me to purchase it.

Initially, I was contemplating pre-ordering the Watch 2 and using my Google Credit from last year’s Pixel 7 Pro purchase. However, if they indeed make this offer available in Canada as well, I might opt for the bundle instead. I’ll have to wait and see the details of the offer.

This has happened before: Iran has taken American-Iranians hostage and demanded a ransom. A Democrat president paid the ransom and justified the payment somehow to silence those who opposed giving in to a terrorist regime and funding their activities.

Preventing Iran from attacking and seizing commercial ships and oil tankers is the correct course of action. It is not escalation, it is defence.

I hope so :)

While civil disobedience, especially among brave women, has increased, the situation not only has not improved but has also gotten worse. For example, banks are forced not to provide service to unveiled women, hefty fines and sometimes imprisonments are imposed on those who are without hijab, vehicles are seized because unveiled women have been captured by the CCTVs inside them, and so on.

These are aside from the continuous political oppression, mass arrests, tortures, and executions of those who publicly oppose the regime and the current situation in Iran. In the past two days, there have been reports of deaths among dissidents while in custody (apparently due to excessive torture and lack of medical care). Also, yesterday, Toomaj Salehi, a well-known Iranian rapper, who was extremely vocal during the Mahsa Amini protests and publicly sided with the people seeking freedom, was sentenced to more than 6 years in prison after being in solitary confinement for about 8 months.

So, in a nutshell, things have not improved because the root causes of the uprising are not and will not be resolved under this authoritarian regime. Clearly, things can’t go on like this in the long run, and change is inevitable. The only question is when!

One thing that I miss about that Reddit site is the constant posts of people asking/nagging about monthly updates. :))

The price the brave always pay for standing on the right side, especially in the face of an authoritarian regime. This sham trial serves as a stark reminder of the lengths some regimes will go to suppress dissent and artistic expression.
