There is years of accumulated evidence that this particular unit behaves like a far-right militia in army uniform, dominated by extreme settlers (some of them with criminal records) who commit regular crimes against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. axios.com/2024/04/20/us-…

1- In the late 60s, many students at MIT, Columbia, and Harvard were permanently expelled for their actions (breaking into Dean's offices, etc). I'm not sure why we're acting like what's going on today is new and unique. It's been a longstanding all American story.

An average Turkish Iskender kebab place in Turkey has food prices on par with Monaco Yacht Club, which has three starred Michelin chefs

I kid you not. This is the restaurant prices Turks face in Istanbul and other large cities.

There’s been 2 weeks + of large nightly protest in Amman over war in Gaza. Yet Jordanian AF shot down dozens of Iranian drones. Because *real* Israeli security comes from diplomatic agreements. With Jordan, with Egypt, with GCC. And, most importantly of all: with Palestine, ASAP
