Objectively, they didn't do good journalism and cite primary sources.

Primary sources were the interview with Yasmin Porat on Haboker Hazeh (which was censored by Israel) and the interview conducted with IDF helicopter pilots on, I think, Haaretz. Everything else is commentary on the same evidence.

The fact that the Tampa Bay Times failed to cite those two primary sources really calls into question their legitimacy as an institution for journalism. It's basic journalistic etiquette to cite primary sources where possible.

Is there a spectrum of genocides? One is "temporarily lock up a decent percentage of this race" and one is "eradicate and/or displace all people of this race with bombs and guns"

The IMF is fucked. Anyone wondering why countries prefer dealing with China need only compare the terms given by the IMF against the terms given by China. Chinese loan terms aren't only "reasonable": compared to the IMF, they look like you're robbing China blind.

The US is the occupier here. What is it with people and siding with the occupiers?

Ukraine isn't NATO and the West has given every indication that they see it as a proxy war with Russia. Israel is already dragging in the US, and risks dragging in Iran, which would force the Arab World to choose sides.

According to the IDF, Palestinians are subhuman. Why should subhumans deserve the same standard of care?
