It's probably an American thing. Not wanting to have to choose to live without.

It, like a weird number of films from 2008, has a very similar name to a far inferior film from 2007. In this case, that would be Margot at the Wedding, easily the worst movie of Noah Baumbach's time as a name director. I wonder if there's a relationship to that.

That happens to him an awful lot…though ironically not in Black Hawk Down playing a character who IRL got his clothes burned off.

I miss Mad Men. I ache for its unique mix of hard-earned postwar optimism and Fellinian insanity.

He definitely hasn't seen the tailor.

In more ways than you'd think.

Thus placing her in the same esteemed position as Jamie Kennedy.

How dare they ask to be paid! They should count themselves lucky that they got the experience to work for such a prestigious organization! I say, these millennials have no work ethic, wanting to be paid! Bah!

Huh. I just assumed it was something that was just weird in the US. Like our bizarre aversion to the all-encompassing popularity of Kylie Minogue (not necessarily an endorsement).

No, but not caring is their thing, and that's part of Russia's problem (though the French have somehow made it work).

We should've given them their Marshall Plan money then. If Germany had to re-sign the Oder-Neisse treaty just because it reunited, then Russia should've gotten Marshall Plan Money.

I was talking about BDS, incidentally.

And Hamas does not have a part in the repression in Gaza? The people of Gaza needs food, Hamas smuggles weapons. The people of Gaza want a vote, Hamas keeps the strip out of the PA. And then it uses Israel's measures to maintain security, staying out of the territory itself, to put its own people further in danger for…

Except that Israel is the only one of those that people in the wider world seem to care about.

An Israeli Jew would know, as the organization you are defending chooses not to, the difference between Israel and Israeli settlements.

Israel wasn't built on religion either, it was built on a people. Religion was outside the mainstream and discouraged by the powers that be until the late 70s.

A distant second, but nevertheless, I'll bite.

I disagree. It's times like this that we need the symbols of our union more than ever, lest they take them for themselves.

And you're conflating attitudes toward Israelis with attitudes toward the Gush Emumim and the Netanyahu government.

Linking to the fact that the Israeli government has investigated an organization with widely-documented antisemitic links whose members have spoken out against the very existence of the Jewish state, and whose actions, when occasionally effective, are materially damaging to both Israeli and Palestinian quality of life…
