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. -

Which has the higher death toll? -
Nora Neus Thu 26 Oct 2023 17.30 EDT At a foundry last weekend, with fire blazing and anti-racist activists watching, the statue of the Confederate general Robert E Lee that sparked the deadly 2017 Charlottesville white nationalist riot was cut into pieces and melted down to liquid brass. “It felt like an execution,” said Jalane Schmidt, co-founder of Charlottesville Black Lives Matter and a professor at the University of Virginia. Charlottesville Robert E Lee statue to be melted down and turned into art Read more Along with other activists, Schmidt traveled from Charlottesville to watch the melting at the foundry, which organizers will only identify as being “somewhere in the south” out of concerns for the physical safety of the foundry workers. “It was very solemn. Nobody cheering, nothing like that. It was very quiet. People weren’t even talking,” she said. The melting was the culmination of a years-long effort to remove the Confederate statue from downtown Charlottesville. The issue became a flashpoint in 2016, and sparked a deadly white nationalist riot a year later, in 2017, which resulted in the death of the counter-protester Heather Heyer and two police officers, whose helicopter crashed. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/26/charlottesville-robert-e-lee-melted-confederate-statue

Impact of Dobbs and Abortion Laws

Every ten seconds a child is killed in GAZA "pro-life" people: Good! -
As Janet Paulsen prepared to leave her husband, who had become increasingly volatile over their 15-year marriage, she slipped down to his gun safes one night while he slept to try to change the combination locks. “There were 74 firearms in my house,” said Paulsen, who was stunned by how many guns she found, but could not figure out how to change the codes. “When I went to get my protection order, I brought pictures of all of those firearms with me.” Georgia, where she lives, is not among the 21 states with gun surrender laws that can force people to relinquish their weapons while they are deemed a risk to themselves or others. So Paulsen’s husband, whom she accused of threatening and erratic behavior, was only ordered to stay away from her and their 13-year-old twin boys until a court hearing. That changed a few days later when she said he tried to track them through a phone locator app, a violation of the protection order that prompted a misdemeanor charge, two hours in jail and a court order to confiscate his guns. As Paulsen and the boys rode out the week at a motel where they had taken refuge while he moved out, deputies removed more than 70 firearms from their home, a modern Craftsman nestled in a lakeside community about 30 miles northwest of Atlanta. Police, though, left a handgun in a pickup truck parked in the driveway, unsure if the order covered Scott Bland’s vehicle, she said. Five days later, Bland ambushed Paulsen in the garage as she stopped home with groceries. He used the 9 mm semiautomatic pistol to shoot her six times, as she tried to flee, before killing himself. “It took me five years to get up the courage to divorce him, because I knew I would pay a price. And you know what happened when I did? He shot me,” said Paulsen, 53, a former property manager and endurance athlete who was left partially paralyzed in the 2015 shooting. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/abuse-victims-gun-surrender-laws-save-lives-supreme-104506698 A federal appeals court, in a Texas case, deemed the practice unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has agreed to review the issue on Nov. 7 — but no one knows if it’s to overturn the Fifth Circuit ruling or double down on it. The Supreme Court seems to have a growing interest in gun rights cases. The conservative 6-3 majority voted last year to overturn New York’s longstanding restrictions on concealed weapons. That has led lower courts, sometimes begrudgingly, to overturn more than a dozen state and local gun safety measures. Domestic violence advocates worry that so-called “red flag” laws, which keep guns away from people in crisis, may be next.

Impact of Dobbs and Abortion Laws

BEAVERCREEK, Ohio — Leesa Howard thinks abortion should be rare and not used for “birth control.” She’ll readily vote next year for Donald Trump, backing the man who remade the Supreme Court to end Roe v. Wade. Keeping up with politics is easy with The 5-Minute Fix Newsletter, in your inbox weekdays. But Howard, 53, also knows a woman who got pregnant in high school and said an abortion kept her life on track. She plans to vote “yes” this week on an Ohio ballot measure that would enshrine access to the procedure in the state constitution. “I don’t think the government should be able to tell us what we should do with our own bodies,” Howard said on a break one recent evening from her shift at Target. “We give that right away, might as well give all our rights away.” People like Howard could soon deliver an abortion rights victory in a Republican-leaning state, underscoring how a new era of abortion bans have stoked a backlash from voters — even in places that helped elect Trump and pave the way for an end to nationwide access. The results of Ohio’s Issue 1 vote, which ends Tuesday, will test support for abortion in a state where GOP leaders passed a ban after about six weeks of pregnancy. It will also offer a new data point on the politics of abortion ahead of the 2024 elections. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/06/ohio-abortion-vote-issue-1/ -

Netanyahu's son 'highly vulnerable target' in US as he avoids Israel military duties EXCLUSIVE: Yair Netanyahu has come under fire for staying in Miami, Florida while thousands of reserve soldiers have been called to fight in the Israel-Hamas war. By CLAIRE ANDERSON 10:01 ET, Sat, Nov 4, 2023 0BOOKMARK Yair Netanyahu has come under fire for staying in Miami during the Israel-Hamas war (Image: Instagram Yair Netanyahu) Benjamin Netanyahu's Miami-based son, Yair, is at risk of being kidnapped amid high tensions globally, according to a former White House insider. The 32-year-old is said to be working on "non-profit charity work" in Florida while around 360,000 reserve soldiers have been mobilized to join the Israeli army, temporarily leaving their commitments elsewhere. Questions are being raised about why he has not joined his countrymen - and Howard Stoffer, an international affairs expert who spent 25 years working for the US government, says he must take security seriously. Professor Stoffer believes it is "foolish" for Yair to be in America - if he's not under protection by the likes of the Israeli intelligence services, Shin Bet or Mossad. He told Daily Express US: "He will be a target. I would absolutely expect that and if he is not protected by Shin Bet or officers, taking away resources from the country that needs him now. https://www.the-express.com/news/us-news/117250/benjamin-netanyahu-son-yair-israel-war-florida -
“Russian occupiers … forced families to listen as they raped women next door, members of a U.N.-mandated investigative body said.” — Reuters In March 2022, three weeks into the war, the Russians dropped two 500-kilogram bombs on a theater in Mariupol, Ukraine, where hundreds of civilians, their homes having been destroyed, were sheltering. On the pavement on each side of the theater was painted in giant Cyrillic letters the Russian word for “children.” Perhaps 600 people died. The implausible idea that this was an accident became even more so 23 days later when, after a missile attack on refugees at a railway station, the words “for children” — up to 9 children were among the up to 63 people killed — were found painted on fragments of the missile. Did this mean revenge for children killed, according to Russian propaganda, by Ukrainian military actions in Russian-occupied portions of Ukraine? Retired Army Gen. David Petraeus and historian Andrew Roberts think not. In their new book, “Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine,” they ascribe the missile attack not to revenge but to “a truly depraved psychology.” A Russian military consistency has been barbarism: Remember the explosive toys Russians scattered to maim Afghan children who would thereafter be burdens for adults too distracted to fight. This is the Russia that some congressional Republicans would, by ending aid for Ukraine, rescue from the criminal misadventure Vladimir Putin began on Feb. 24, 2022. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/03/house-republicans-putin-barbarism/ Russia’s war crimes — targeting civilians, kidnapping children, mass executions, torture, rape — are not incidental to, they are premeditated tactics in, the war that some congressional Republicans seem eager to help Putin win. He knows the help he needs. “If Western defense supplies are terminated tomorrow,” Putin said on Oct. 5, “Ukraine will have a week left to live as it runs out of ammunition.”

In a rare announcement, the US military said a guided missile submarine has arrived in the Middle East, a message of deterrence clearly directed at regional adversaries as the Biden administration tries to avoid a broader conflict amid the Israel-Hamas war. US Central Command said on social media Sunday that an Ohio-class submarine was entering its area of responsibility. A picture posted with the announcement appeared to show the sub in the Suez Canal northeast of Cairo. The social media post did not name the sub, but the US Navy has four Ohio-class guided missile submarines, or SSGNs, which are former ballistic missile subs converted to fire Tomahawk cruise missiles rather than nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles. Each SSGN can carry 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles, 50% more than US guided-missile destroyers pack and almost four times what the US Navy’s newest attack subs are armed with. Each Tomahawk can carry up to a 1,000-pound high-explosive warhead. “SSGNs can deliver a lot of firepower very rapidly,” said Carl Schuster, a former director of operations at the US Pacific Command’s Joint Intelligence Center told CNN in 2021. “One-hundred and fifty-four Tomahawks accurately deliver a lot of punch. No opponent of the US can ignore the threat.” The magnitude of that firepower was shown in March 2011, when the guided missile sub USS Florida fired almost 100 Tomahawks against targets in Libya during Operation Odyssey Dawn. The attack marked the first time the SSGNs were used in combat. The military rarely announces the movements or operations of its fleet of ballistic and guided missile subs. Instead, the nuclear-powered vessels operate in near-complete secrecy.
