The decision comes after a report published by Axios indicated that Blinken had decided to punish Israel’s Netzah Yehuda Battalion.admin (Palestine Chronicle)
...root of all evil.
On the other hand, it is clearly the greed of plutocrats, be it in the form of feudal lords, multinationals (#BigOil, #BigTech, ...-》 #Technofeudalism) that has brought human society to the brink of extinction and caused mass-extinction for thousands of species that were intrusted to us, at least if you belong to any religion having originated in the Middle East.

Thank you, I know that’s the problem, these were the same “children” influenced by Hamas propaganda who were in the streets cheering and celebrating when Hamas happily raped and then beheaded Israeli women, children and babies
🤷🏻♀️ These naive students do not realize that Hamas has openly set itself the goal of killing every Israeli and then everyone who is not Muslim
The toxic Hamas and Russian propaganda seems to work well 🙈
😂🙄 So that’s interesting 🤔 you claim that what the Hamas terrorist did on October 7 inside Israel was just some fantasy and it didn’t take place 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
With such believe it seems that you have no brains at all 🤷🏻♀️ But be careful and don’t start to tell this nonsense loudly around because people think you need desperately a psychiatrist 🤦🏻♀️
Or you are just a dangerous Russian troll who is determined to destroy the Western democracy 🙄

Litigation is a huge issue in the #US. Penalties often are astronomical seen from an international perspective. Also, malfeasance by police officers including #RacialProfiling and l, IMO, #PredictivePolicing seem to be much more frequent, maybe just more reported.
However, my bottom line is that

There is legal precedent, e.g.:
"In 1920, Eugene V. Debs, the Midwestern socialist leader, ran for president while locked up at a federal penitentiary in Atlanta. He had been convicted under the federal Sedition Act for giving an antiwar speech a few months before Armistice Day, the end of World War I. " 1)

#US / Google employees in the US were arrested after staging a sit-in protest at the office of the head of Google's cloud division
The employees were demonstrating against #Google's business ties with Israel, which they accuse of being an #apartheid government.
The protesters livestreamed the sit-in on #Twitch and were given opportunities to leave voluntarily, but when they refused, they were arrested by police.
According to the protesters, a total of 9 employees were arrested at Google offices in New York and California.
Google stated that the employees were placed on forced leave and had their access to company systems blocked, and that law enforcement was called in to remove them to ensure office safety.

In saying that, you are aware that #AmericanEnglish is, in many aspects, more original than British English b/c Noah Webster was so far ahead in his time in preparing his famous dictionary.
Also, have you had the change to place a full printed edition of Webster's next to the Oxford's Dictionary?
Even discounting the many neologisms, Webster has more than 1 million words, many more than Oxford's Dictionary or the German Duden.
