We all have more time at home on our hands than we planned for. It makes for both a constant hunger for content to watch and very low expectations.

Palestinian neighborhoods in The West Bank. So Hamas launched a massive indiscriminate attack from Gaza out of sympathy? Nope. 

Close. Britain fired the first missile with Hugh Laurie playing a doctor in New Jersey with an undetermined Mid-Atlantic.

“Kayvan Novak sits down at a piano in his shabby walk-up apartment, the camera pulling back to reveal a charmingly crooked mélange of London rooftops as he sings”

Yet they have a long history of failing at it miserably when outside their borders. AFAIK, modern China has never won a conflict where people actually shot back. Also attacking Taiwan directly brings the attention of countries that they can’t really contend with. 

I agree with your sentiment 100%. But China is slowly destroying Hong Kong through corruption and incompetence in running a free marking, because it has access to it intact. Literally just handed over to them without a shot fired.

Funny thing about that is the first shots fired in this latest conflict came from a place with no Israeli settlements, launching thousands of rockets at communities for sh1ts and giggles specifically to provoke Israel reprisals. Hamas would rather have Gazans living in rubble and fear than actually try to govern the…

So where are the settlements in Gaza? Oh right there aren’t any. Its funny how Gazans don’t have adequate food, fuel, water, healthcare but Hamas always has thousands of the latest portable rockets on hand to shower on Israel. You would think that if Hamas actually gave a crap about its people then they would work out…

Shed some tears for suicide bombers and fratricidal terrorist organizations? If that is your thing. They are human beings, led by theocrats and kleptocrats. Leaders who couldn’t give a flying f--k about the welfare of their own people. 

Mostly because “genocide of the Palestinians” is not a real thing. 

That is splitting a hair nobody needs to bother with. 

“they leave out about the cause of the Second Intifada, or about the Israeli government’s walking back of various elements of the Oslo Accords, in particular regarding their control of the Gaza Strip.”

China has no ability to storm the shores of Taiwan without getting pulped in the process. Their navy is sizable these days but outclassed by potential adversaries.

Not so much that China let them go as much as China had no ability to do anything about it for a very long time. The “Million Man Swim” still is unlikely even with China’s new navy around. 

Like any civil rights movement, once it moves into their own backyards, white people start to peal away or switch sides

“Karen Gillan and Lena Headey as a mother-daughter killer duo”

True, but it was a venereal disease.

Or at least a Behrad-centric one like what Zari had with “Hedgehog Day”

“-If Jes Macallan wants to attempt a new accent and undercover character every week, I am here for it.”

Still not as bad as Arrow. Where normal humans were traveling half-way around the Earth, to the remote fortress in the Himalayas Nanda Pardat, as if there was a commuter bus going there.
