True. Not sure anything would work, but I wish the international community would come up with something. I'm sure that would be problematic, but probably the best of a lot of bad choices -
Seven questions 1. Will abortion rights keep winning? At least three states are worth watching: Ohioans will vote on a referendum to protect abortion access until about 23 weeks of pregnancy. If it passes, it will be the seventh straight victory for abortion rights in state referendums since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year. In Kentucky, Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat running for re-election, is focusing on his support for abortion rights (while also trumpeting the fruits of Biden’s economic policies without naming Biden, as our colleague Reid Epstein explains). In Virginia, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, is trying to give his party a model for the post-Roe world by backing a 15-week limit as a middle ground. All of Virginia’s state legislature seats are on the ballot. 2. Can a Democrat win in the Deep South? No Democrat has been elected governor or senator in Mississippi in more than 20 years. But Brandon Presley, a state official and second cousin of Elvis Presley, seems to have an outside chance. Gov. Tate Reeves, the Republican incumbent, has been hurt by a corruption scandal in which, according to court documents, a state official directed welfare funds to the pet projects of wealthy, connected Mississippians. Presley is running the kind of campaign that was once normal for Democrats: moderate on social issues, progressive on economics. He calls himself pro-life, emphasizes his religious faith and supports gun rights, while promising to expand Medicaid and help rural hospitals. “The fight in politics in Mississippi is not right versus left,” Presley said. “It’s those of us on the outside versus those of them on the inside.” Recent polls have shown him trailing by between one and eight points. 3. What happens with schools? Conservatives and liberals are running against each other for school boards in suburban Philadelphia, Northern Virginia and elsewhere — with gender issues often central. One example: In Pella, Iowa, a Des Moines suburb, voters will decide whether to give the City Council more control over the public library after the library’s board recently rejected the effort of some residents to ban the memoir “Gender *****” by Maia Kobabe. 4. How will cities deal with rising homelessness? Voters in Spokane, Wash., will decide whether the police can issue tickets to people who camp within 1,000 feet of schools, parks, playgrounds and child-care facilities. In Boulder, Colo., voters will decide whether to prioritize the removal of encampments near schools and sidewalks. 5. Will affordable-housing efforts grow? Voters in Boulder County will also decide whether to address a major cause of homelessness: high real-estate costs. Boulder, Seattle and Santa Fe, N.M., will each vote on initiatives to fund affordable housing. In Tacoma, Wash., voters will decide whether to restrict landlords’ ability to evict tenants during the winter and the school year. 6. How will changes to criminal justice fare? In several counties — including those that encompass Pittsburgh and Jackson, Miss. — prosecutor races pit a progressive against a tough-on-crime candidate. In Jackson, District Attorney Jody Owens — who views drug addiction as largely a public health issue and has pledged not to prosecute abortion cases — is running for re-election against Darla Palmer, an independent who has criticized the amount of violent crime. 7. What else is on the ballot? Ohioans will vote on whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use. Rockville, Md., a Washington suburb, will vote on a nonbinding initiative on whether to lower the voting age to 16. Three Michigan cities, including Kalamazoo, will decide whether to adopt ranked-choice voting. And more than a dozen cities — including Houston, Philadelphia and Orlando, Fla. — will vote for mayor. In Uvalde, Texas, the mother of one of last year’s shooting victims is running for mayor. (Thanks to Daniel Nichanian of Bolts magazine, whose election guides are always useful.

Conquest https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-news-11-7-2023-6e1425d218de6a73f8a51e4c036cfd39 KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel will take “overall security responsibility” in Gaza indefinitely after its war with Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, the clearest indication yet that Israel plans to maintain control over the coastal enclave one month into a conflict that has claimed thousands of lives and leveled whole swaths of the territory. In an interview with ABC News that aired late Monday, Netanyahu expressed openness to “little pauses” in the fighting to facilitate the delivery of aid to Gaza or the release of some of the more than 240 hostages seized by Hamas in its Oct. 7 attack into Israel that triggered the war. My God, no wonder so many people around the world are angry The Palestinian death toll has surpassed 10,000, the Health Ministry of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip said Monday, including over 4,100 minors. More than 2,300 people are missing and believed to be buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings, the ministry said. The ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants, and Israel says it has killed thousands of fighters. -

Just deterrence. If the appeasement crowd had done that with Hitler, maybe no WW2 No douche bag, this isn't WW2. The people of Gaza are suffering WAY more than the average Israeli, not even close.
