Why does the IDF, which occupies Palestinian territory for the sole purpose of stealing it and defending the people who steal it, not remove the people who steal the land? What a hard question. I guess I have to get paid 150k per year to work for a think tank to not figure out why.

When I was small, my father held a knife to my mom’s throat as I screamed and scratched at his legs. Later she made dinner, because refusing to do so would have been worse. That was a few days before we left in the night, her bleeding, me silent. It was the worst night of my life. And the best.

Reclaiming stolen childhoods: swimming classes resume in Gaza after three years of war
In sea pools built with sandbags and rubble, Amjed Tantesh gives traumatised children brief respite from their daily lives
Swimming classes have started again in Gaza after three years of war, with hundreds of children learning to float, doggy paddle and take their first strokes in five makeshift sea pools built from sandbags and rubble.
The lessons allow a few hundred girls and boys to reclaim their childhood for a few hours in a place where there are no playgrounds, no formal education and children live in fear of continuing Israeli attacks. A UN survey in March found that 96% of children felt death was imminent.

When Dems attack Trump's corruption, is that "leftist" or "moderate"? It's neither. People need to stop trying to map everything on to these ludicrously simplistic little templates, which are just designed to facilitate factional infighting and build online followings.
Here's the short version of why I think the idea that Dems can only salvage their brand with moderation is mostly bullshit.

I’ll share it, because I think this rampant anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bigotry is not only accepted by a dying wing of our party but being used to win primaries (see Abdul). It’s on us to see it, shun it, and protect our coalition.
