The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

most people agree that schumer's criticism of bebe is likely to have little effect, but many feel his frustration.
at best, it may be biden sending a message that the u.s. will stop redrawing 'red lines'.
but i applaud schumer and sanders nonetheless because

A. bebe is a corrupt convicted criminal that, more than any other player, needs to extend this war to stay in power.

B. palestine will never win the global propaganda war. about 100 children die EACH DAY in 4 months of gaza conflict. israel will say they were terrorists and\or Hamas welcomes this, but israel is the party actually committing the act. what gets mainstream media headlines?...any hostage that IDF hasn't accidentally killed.
most arab nations see palestine as irrelevant, or an expendable tool as their business interests are on hold due to the conflict.

C. the u.s. should immediately stop sending funds to a rich country that commits war crimes against the poorest civilians on the planet. israel is not ukraine, so let them spend their own resources!
its likely the u.s. will defend isreal against war crimes to shield its own complicity, but at least this action does not interfere with true u.s. security interests in the region.
