I read Israel just completely sealed off the country to try to keep the Omicron variant out. I wonder how many other countries will follow suit. There goes international travel.
I've never seen this transcript. It brought tears to my eyes, but also made me proud to be an American. I thought George W. Bush's memorial speech was very good and serves as a stark reminder and warning that these days we now have to be equally vigiliant against domestic terorrists like those who tried to overturn our election on January 6th. Luckily that was no where near as deadly, but once again hate and extremism has reared it's ughly head and attacked our capital.
The airline was being responsible and taking proper precuations. Even with two shots, the vaccines only provide 39% efficacy against infections. However, 95% of those cases won't be serious and most will be asymptomatic. So you'll live, but you'll still be congtagious and could infect others.
I for one am all for being tested often. It's too easy to be sick and not know it. And I would just feel horrible if I infected others as a result, some of whom may be high risk!
Agreed. But it's also racist - they are targeting Israel. Name one other country they are boycotting? There are so many country with horrid human rights violations, even the ethnic cleansing of their own people (Turkey, Syria, etc.). Why don't they try to boycott for the Arabs in those countries? Better yet, why don't they invest in these areas to encourage peace, rather than denying them ice cream, of which is readily available from other companies.
Now many people are boycotting Ben & Jerry's as a result. This will turn out to be a very bad business decision for them.
Jim, the problem is that you have a massively inflated ego which is very off putting to readers. The only reason you get published at all is because TM is the only one nice enough to do so. Obviously, if the New York Times, or Washington Post or any other major outlet was willing to publish you, you'd be there in a heart beat. But none want your articles.
Perhaps it's time to start lowering your expectations and not alienate the last place that's still willing to publish you from time to time.
Actually Israel has, for example, early on a rocket killed 8 children in Gaza. Israel was blamed but Israel said they did not fire in the area, that it was a Gazan rocket that fell short.
You try to explain why so many children died in the conflict, but you fall into the trap of taking the word of terrorists at face value. Israel, a responsible democratic country insists that their surgical strikes at military targets killed far fewer than Hamas claims, and that the majority were terrorists. Why do you believe Hamas over Israel?
Hamas has been known to radically inflate the death toll and to pass off militant deaths as civilian deaths. They have also been known to "fake" children's' funerals - where after the TV cameras turn, bystanders' smart phones are still recording when the "dead" get up and walk away. And you fail to point out that about 1/4 of the 4,000 rockets Gaza fired, fell short and landed in Gaza itself - killing far more innocents than Israel's precision guided missiles. Yet Hamas blames these deaths on Israel as well. Apparently you do too.

Defeating Hamas Takes More Than Bombs
Yes, this is true. The PA employs very similar to the methods employed by the Nazis. They also teach math by adding up the murder of Jews:
