“The ‘investors’ are only interested in their own profit,” he tells me. “How many times do they say, ‘Yeah, it’s a great idea, a needed product even, but I can’t extract enough profit out of it, so it’s not investable.’” In other words, capitalism creates a system where great products or worthy entrepreneurs don’t get the chance to be successful if they can’t make Mark Cuban richer.“

“The resolution they adopted was historic in that it recalibrated the Palestinian liberation struggle to one that deemphasizes the two-state solution to one that embraces a more wholistic understanding of the nature of the challenges that Palestinians face.”

“This slowly emerging paradigm turns our origin story on its head—again. It implies that early H. sapiens did not, as many assumed, originate as a single, relatively large population that exchanged genes and technologies in a more or less random fashion and gradually expanded across and outside of Africa.”

I am OBVIOUSLY supporting Transgender people against the arguement that they are mentally ill. This is not hateful in the least and is in fact supportive of Transgender people. I appealed the issue. Let’s see what happens.

The Israeli military is criminally negligent in the killing of my son, daughter, wife and mother-in-law. I have tried now for 13 years to get them to take even a small amount of responsibility for the murder of my family, but they refuse. A friend of my father asked me about the issue so I had her listen to an interview I did with Dorit Tuval, who was the Commander of the IDF School of Law. It is 30 minutes, but it is worth listening to. I was never given any answers. https://youtu.be/9PJJ2bs00nk
