    volcel-kamala best I can do is a 10% reduction in bombing for Palestinian college graduates with a Pell grant that operate a business with at least four employees that can program in JavaScript

        The list of people who could receive it just leaves this perfectly visible trail for exactly how and who argued and compromised to the "solution." It could be forever used as a case study of how compromise compromises. People who were super serious about needing to "deserve" the relief got it whittled down to business owners who succeeded in the market™ and a bunch of spineless white moderates got it to apply to black people in poor areas. When the first was happy that only deserving people got it and the second was happy that the group was limited to an oppressed group, they said "now it's a good list" and published. Just perfect

    The Israeli military said they would be no full ceasefire, just tactical, local pauses for humanitarian aid.

    Sounds like this is complete PR nonsense. They are not instituting any blanket 'pauses' really, but Biden admin wants to say they got Israel to do something.

      biden-alert "Listen Jack, we got Israel to institute 'humanitarian pauses' in the fighting"

      Liberal media: crying, telling their children about 'Joe Biden the peacekeeper', spinning up stories of how he should get the Nobel Peace Prize

      Reality: "We can just tell them that the time we already spend regrouping and resting between assaults is us doing a 'humanitarian pause' "

      "These pauses will be held in the parts of Gaza that go four hours without being bombed because we are bombing elsewhere"

    This is so cynical. Cartoon villian evil.

    Oh fine I suppose we can break for lunch and I need a couple hours bullshit to other countries to arrest their citzens making me feel bad about my final solution.

    I'd put money on the pause time calculation being based entirely on how quickly they can replenish bomb stockpiles.
