Don’t worry. Once that Nigerian bank releases his funds, Kavanaugh will clear up everything.

Yeah his fucking bros just all decided to pay him back at once. That’s totally believable. 

Great comment. This deserves to be its own article really. 

I agree with the first part of your statement, but not with the second. Israel exists. If you were saying this right after the Six Day War, I would probably agree with you. Now? No. Israel doesn’t have to be an apartheid state; it can choose to be better, no matter how difficult that is. I do not favour Israel’s…

The Holocaust demonstrated how tenuous that survival is. The thing to remember is that Jews will always be an outsider group in almost any country. They’re not the only ones, either; you can look at almost any country with a minority racial/ethnic group and see that group’s vilification and disenfranchisement to…

Hey Cody!

‘Ongoing’ or ‘recent’ can’t really be your yardsticks. What matters is justice for the living and a sensible conclusion that works for the future. It is not sensible to expect that Israel will somehow be wound up and forgotten. Israel is there to stay, or at least for the foreseeable. To forcibly dissolve Israel…

You’re half right, with the exception being that both Israel and Palestine have a right to exist, and unfortunately share a homeland but will share nothing else. But Israel sure the hell is an apartheid state that was imposed on Palestinians at the close of WWII. That shit never ends well. See also: divided Germany,…

It’s more that he is essentially a gender flipped Ayn Rand, who was Jewish.

The fight to create Israel was way before ‘48, and I count generations in roughly 20 year chunks like everyone else except you does.

I have a feeling the comments on this one are going to get out of hand. Which is a shame as this is a very interesting article.

The choice of Byelorussian (Belarusian) Jew is particularly interesting from a 20th century Eurasian historical context. I’ll admit I didn’t really follow the Bioshock mythos that closely—I’ve only beaten the first and third game, and while I was a huge System Shock 2 fan, Bioshock never really spoke to me in such a…

A massive number of countries are established on land that someone argues to be stolen. Israel has as much right to exist as does the USA.

As a politically left Israeli, I mostly agree with you. But the question is what kind of Israel is needed. Currently it stands on a crossroad that asks which identity is more important, the secular culturally Jewish Israel which grew on the values of humanistic democracy, or the increasingly aggressive orthodox…

An idealized homeland for a displaced people that is founded with the best of intentions and worst of fears?

Michael, good article and great context about how debt was weaponized in the post colonial world, but you’re shooting fish in a barrel. Maybe you should write a post about a country that white men *didn’t* fuck up: ya know, like.... uh... I’m drawing a blank here.

So what you’re saying is that Haiti has higher standards for presidential candidates than the US?

Earthquakes are to blame. Or hurricanes. Or [insert natural disaster that gives white people a pass for their horrible crimes against others].

It seemed crazy when I first started posting this a month ago... and yet...

They can already cross-play with PC and Mobile players, so your argument about this being to stop PC cheating in the games is kind of out the window.
