“We want full accountability for this, this is a tragedy that should never have occurred,” Albanese told reporters on Tuesday

    The news is now basically “XXXXX has said these words” and almost never “XXXXX has done these things” and the media seems perfectly ok basing entire articles off talking points.

      A lot of people (including myself) criticize the arab world for not doing anything against Israel’s atrocities. We are seeing the similarities with the west now.

      Is the nuclear arsenal of US/israel that huge?

        Imperialism has always seemed to be insufferably indifferent everywhere it sticks its nasty little finger. To me it is so counterproductive to the long term sustainable goal of true free trade. If the only motivation for any country/business is self interest it’s a failure from the get go. But i guess if the market isn’t controlled via the bludgeon of imperialism/capitalism/all the other isms then you can’t crank out infinite profit and make the world a better place for all the shareholders.
