That's a very charitable interpretation of Macron you've made.
My TL;DR:
"I'm doing everything I can to support Zionist colonialism, but my colleagues in the present Israeli government keep doing everything stupidly and ineffectively and they really need to listen to me on tactics."
But he offered no consequences, so why would anyone listen?
I think you are quite correct on that, unfortunately.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

But there is always an audience...
Energy usage trends track economic power and political power rather neatly, it appears!
The Jewish community have entered, gained & lost power over a country, and then been allowed to leave, repeatedly throughout European history.
Professor Israel Shahak wrote a number of good books on the topic - https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/bafykbzacebiwo22xgjeucmqe7lksfq2uebmmzwnajl4ftdoabzd5m3e4zsywq?filename=Israel%20Shahak%20-%20Jewish%20History%2C%20Jewish%20Religion%20-%20New%20Edition_%20The%20Weight%20of%20Three%20Thousand%20Years%20%28Get%20Political%29%20%282008%29.pdf

Replacing the Geneva Conventions with "winner genocides all" would be a dangerous innovation, especially for the Jewish people.
Hamas is made up of United Nations employees?
That's a new one! Its almost like genocide is morally indefensible, so its proponents resort to pure fantasy.
Killing 8000 children is bad and wrong. Killing 6000 noncombatant women is bad and wrong. Killing thousands of civilian men is bad and wrong.
Violently dispossessing a population who speak a Semitic language is antisemitism. Concentrating a Semitic population is ghettos they cannot leave is antisemitism. Genociding a Semitic population is antisemitism.
Of all the successor states of Nazi Germany, only Israel has adhered so closely to Nazi race ideology - and now, Nazi methods.
I have been thinking about offering this as a service, but I need to get better at SIP and DID thrunking first!
"[...] one short-term solution for revitalizing ESG could involve ethical investment requirements for funds, ETFs, and 401(k) plans. Such a mandate could function as a booster shot in the arm of ethical financial interests"
Right! Fighting terrorism requires state violence to force involuntary investment in Woke scams.
And valorising it with vaccine-mandate imagery! :-p
There is no place in the world for parody!
OH! Of course!

THIS is what TRANSHUMANISM is all about.
Sex. I should have known. It's so obvious.
Sometimes, I'm just slow.

Depends on the skills of the operator, and how much information on you they're able to extract/buy.
If ever there was a use case for AI...! Automating Yahoo Boys would be a crime, but also a service to humanity. The social engineering equivalent of Cowpox.
Numbers that came from Gaza's Ministry of Health and international NGOs, you mean?
Sure, everything is Hamas now, except you and me :-p
And can I really be sure about you?
No, they have not. Rafah and Eretz crossings are closed and they have nowhere to flee.
Warsaw Ghetto 2.0.
Palestine HAS diplomatic recognition from more countries than Israel does. They have been "trying it again" every day.
What they don't have are nuclear weapons, and friends with disproportionate power over Western politicians and media.
They're not likely to get those, either, and neither are most of the world.
What happened to Palestine could happen next to any of ~180 countries if they have something the powerful want, but don't want to pay for.
World Bank Development loans are 0% for the first thirty years.
Wish I could get one!
The World Bank is fed by First World taxes, to impose a narrow Neoliberal imperium on the Third World.
Wish I could opt out!

America is the biggest impediment to peace.
Broad brush, much?
A network of powerful people with disproportionate control over Western governments is an obstacle to peace.
Israel's government is a huge net minus to their interests, but effectively holds a third of the world's Jewish people hostage.
Its really not about the USA...
I learned somwthing new today of importance

The PLO blocked Hamas from holding elections in 2021:
Abbas delays Palestinian elections; Hamas slams ‘coup’
“I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake. And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”

Somehow, I don't think Abu Mazen made the 2022 decision himself...
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Zoroastrianism
What is the oldest monotheistic religion? Zoroastrianism. A cool name for a religion. I figured I might as well go back to the very beginning, you know... for context
When I'm told what to think I always rebel, think the opposite and try learn about the issue in hand. Its my natural reaction to censorship- Totally gfy for a bit and I'll get back to you on it shortly, attitude.
So I've immersed myself in the ancient history and culture of the middle east areas, which was not the intended effect of the censorship I'm sure.
Cradle of civilisation the say. Maybe... but maybe not when you think about it. Its definately the foundation for western culture. One thing for sure though, its a fascinating area with a literally incredible history.
When I first read the Avesta, I felt cheated!
An obvious early draft of the "Abrahamic" religions, but centuries older than the oldest parts of the Mishna.
Fascinating
