NYT today:

American Jews, long Israel’s strongest domestic backers, have turned sharply critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government over the Gaza conflict. A majority believe Israel has committed war crimes as it has killed tens of thousands of civilians and restricted food aid, and four in 10 believe it is guilty of genocide, a new Washington Post survey found — a charge Israel denies. The shift has created new incentives for even moderate Democrats in Congress to get tough on Israel, including by curtailing U. S. military aid.

The damage is also increasingly bipartisan. Despite Republican efforts to identify their party with Israel and to tag Democrats as providing aid and comfort to its enemies, younger evangelical Christians are breaking with their parents on the issue, seeing Israel as an oppressor rather than as a victim. And the breakup extends beyond evangelicals. "Everybody under 30 is against Israel,” the conservative commentator Megyn Kelly offhandedly told Tucker Carlson on his podcast last month.

The question is whether those younger Americans will be lost to Israel long-term — and what Israel’s advocates will do to try to reverse that. Israel’s dependence on U. S. support had become so glaring over the course of the war — in political, military and economic terms — that Israel would be motivated to treat its possible defeat in the court of American public opinion as an “existential threat.”

To ensure we all understand what we're talking about, here's a brief discussion.

Capitalism and Socialism are two distinct economic systems:

Capitalism is characterized by private ownership of the means of production and minimal government intervention in the economy. It promotes free market conditions where supply and demand dictate prices.

Socialism, on the other hand, involves public ownership of the means of production and greater government control over economic activities. The aim is to distribute wealth more evenly among the population.

The key difference lies in the extent of government control: capitalism favors individual initiative and private enterprise, while socialism emphasizes collective ownership and economic planning.

Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages, and many countries implement a mix of both to balance economic efficiency with social welfare.

In my country, many states (like many federations) in my country seem to have "had lots of opinions" about law and order in the last decade or two. Queensland, Victoria, even NSW in the 2000s.

I for one have gone on a journey politically and spiritually and in life experience and I for one even during Covid lockdowns and to the present, and even in years prior to Covid - I love my police, state and federal - and likewise I love the trade unions and the Labor party (or any other left wing party, Palmer counts also underneath his public persona surface, ssshh he's secretly a Leftie like me)

Law Abiding Citizen - the 2009 movie - I appreciate how it was originally written with roles reversed, the black guy the criminal, the white guy the lawyer/solicitor. Let's all appreciate that I for one share the personality of the Judge - and Nick to a degree the fictional Nick unlike this Nic here lol - I do believe in a kind, love-dovey legal system - with exceptions because some crimes really don't deserve bail and do deserve sentences, case by case basis as always and the character of a person. After all, I love the legal system and police. Remember, in the Left wing view, my interpretation, which is - it's always about the cut of a person's jib (their character, all the factors). I'm a personality guy.

Anyways - the anal sex joke never gets old. This upload is not mine and no copyright infringe and ©️ anyways again, wasn't my upload. 👀 📱anyways, I don't even own the DVD, yet I liked when the Judge and the Gerard guy were seeing eye to eye "I mean, what's wrong with bail" 👀😋

"The credibility of judges depends on their ability to offer public explanation for the legal basis of their decisions. When judges show their work, the public can assess it by the standards the judiciary sets for itself — reasoning grounded in law and judicial precedent. Without that, judges risk their legitimacy. Clear explanation is especially important for the Supreme Court, which sets national rules. When the court fails to make these rules clear, confusion can set in.

The current Supreme Court is creating precisely this problem by issuing many important rulings as brief, unsigned orders on its so-called emergency docket. On this shadow docket, the votes among the nine justices are not public, and the majorities typically offer little explanation for their decisions. Yet the justices have used the emergency docket this year to hand down a series of rulings allowing President Trump to expand executive power and alter the structure of government.

In following this path, the justices are ducking one of their crucial responsibilities: making persuasive public arguments.

The first problem is the lack of explanation, which leaves the public unable to assess the justices’ reasoning and lower courts and policymakers uncertain about the full meaning of the rulings.

The second problem is the perception of Supreme Court partisanship, which the emergency docket exacerbates via speculation & lack of individual accountability.

The third problem is that the Supreme Court is using this docket to make itself more powerful, too, deciding many of the country’s most pressing political questions in real time. This is a power grab, in which the justices reduce the role of lower courts, where judges are more evenly divided between Republican and Democratic appointees than the justices are.
