I support Eizenkot because of his political position, but I think this is the best argument against him. He’s a good guy, but he just doesn’t seem as smart as either Netanyahu or Bennett, and he could make a horrible strategic error like Rabin did. Still hope he wins though.
In 1991, Yitzhak Rabin was not “some opportunistic lefty keen to give away the store with Israeli Arab support” either. No one thought that of him. But he wasn’t very good at politics. And the left—both the Israeli left and the international left—maneuvered him into signing the Oslo accords with the PLO by 1993, within just two years. The result was a strategic catastrophe that annihilated Rabin’s Labor Party and still haunts Israel 33 years later. There’s no need to dislike or disrespect Gadi Eisencott. But it would be helpful if Israel could avoid having him as prime minister.

Of course there is no such right in international law. Usually if you look at their arguments, they’ll point to a UN *General Assembly* resolution saying Palestinians have the right to resist. But General Assembly resolutions are not binding. They’re just for blowing off steam.
Palestinians have a right to self defence against an occupying force. Palestinians have a right to armed struggle that is enshrined in international law.

Quality of YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING posts has plummeted since a week ago. It’s like we’re in Eternal September but for YCSE takes.

Virtually everyone who goes viral for public filmed behavior is yes in some kind of mental breakdown. That’s one big reason why not to have these cycles to begin with.

If you cry for 3 hours over something like this, you need a psychiatrist.

Pathetic, loser mentality, trying to be like everybody else. Should’ve instead just doubled down on Bob and Doug McKenzie.
Recently @TheEconomist called Canada a “blandly rich vanilla milkshake of a country.” But in reality, we’re a diverse, educated and rich in resources the world wants. We’ve got dim sum, biryani, pasta, perogies and pho to name a few. If you find Canada bland, I have questions about your research. And your lunch.🥪 🍜 🍝 🥟 🇨🇦

They started using this English orthography a couple years after I learned to read. That was in the 1960s in University City, Missouri. My little brother learned to read and write using this. I’m surprised it was still being used as late as the 1980s, two decades later!
Can you read this? If not, you might not have grown up in rural Kentucky in the 1980s. I was taught to read using a language that no longer exists: shorturl.at/XIwKI

Gonna keep reposting this until it gets the likes it deserves, God damn it! Watching the movie is what they call “the drama of reading”: the reader’s filling in the ever-changing gaps in the information provided by the narrative.
I’d say YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is a movie that teaches people how to read—“the drama of reading”. You can see it in all the reactions.

White-collar criminals should not be sent to prison. They should be punished, but incarceration is a dumb way to punish people.
Something that struck me watching You Can See Everything is how wildly inhumane it is to send a new mother to prison

Regarding “Who’s On First?”, Abbot and Costello probably did the best version of the general joke, certainly the most intricate. But the general idea (“I work on Watt St.”, etc.) predated them by decades. Abbot and Costello were a mediocre comedy duo and are justly forgotten.

Also Lou Costello stole some of his act from Curly Howard of the Three Stooges, which is immediately obvious once it’s mentioned. Curly justifiably resented Costello for stealing his mannerisms.

I think there’s a pretty clear distinction between documentary and fiction? And YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING was 100% documentary, if you allow re-enactments. (The Academy Awards exclude re-enactments, so e.g. THE THIN BLUE LINE was excluded.) YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING was 0% fiction.

If YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING doesn’t win Academy awards for Best Picture, Best Director (Fielder/Oppenheim), and Best Actress (Elizabeth Holmes), there is no justice
