An Israeli strike on a health center in southern Lebanon instantly killed 12 medical workers.

It was one of the single deadliest Israeli attacks in Lebanon, and it targeted a center run by Hezbollah’s health arm, the Islamic Health Society, which has so far lost 24 members.

Dozens of Israeli settlers stormed the Palestinian village of Jalud during Eid al-Fitr, torching homes and wounding at least one person.

The attack comes amid a surge in settler violence in the occupied West Bank, where over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023.

if there's one conclusion that the study of both labor history and imperialism converge on, it is that the richest people in the world are happy to burn money on control, power, impunity. and the "everything is about profit" version of anti-capitalism does not survive serious contact with either
Adding to this thread: it’s a common mistake (I’ve made it myself, many times) to think of the motivations of the capitalist elites as essentially mercantilist: that is, that they are largely still motivated *entirely* by profit and loss, selling product, etc. This has not been true for a while.
It's still smart for Brin. He's worth $240 billion; this tax could theoretically cost him $12 billion. This is a fraction of that.

But *even if the math didn't work for him*, he'd still do it. He'd spend $20 billion to save $1 billion of it came to that, because the numbers aren't the point.
