How come Israel don't use Mossad to take out all of the Hamas leadership similar to what they did after Munich? Would this not be better than bombing stuff into oblivion?

Wrong question and framing.
Israel's goal is not to get rid of Hamas or their leadership.
Their real goal has been to continue the genocide of the Palestinian people so as to take 100% control of the Palestinian land and to kickout the natives.

Fugees - How Many Mics

100%
At its core, “How Many Mics” is a critique of the music industry’s focus on materialism and the pursuit of fame, at the expense of meaningful content. The Fugees, comprised of Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, and Pras Michel, highlight their commitment to using their platform to address social issues and shed light on the plight of marginalized communities. The lyrics convey a strong sense of frustration and disappointment with the state of hip-hop and the superficiality often associated with it.^[[1] https://beatcrave.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-how-many-mics-by-fugees/]
Go ask Alice if you don't believe me, I get in her visions like Stevie
See me ascend from the chalice like the weed be
Indeed we like Khalid Muhammad, MCs make me vomit
I get controversial, freak your style with no rehearsal
Au contraire mon frère, don't you even go there
Run through Crown Heights screaming out, "Mazel tov!"
Problem with no man, before Black, I'm first human
Appetite to write like Frederick Douglass with a slave hand (Bing)
Street pressure, word to papa, I ain't goin' under
...
One got slaughtered as he coughed blood from his mouth
The other tried to duck and caught a left with my Guinness Stout
Brother, brother, can't you get this through your head?
This is set up by the feds, they're scoping us with their infrareds
Star light to star bright, the freaks come out at night
Like my man Wyclef (I wear my sunglasses at night)
And my panache will mosh your entourage
Squash the squad and hide their bodies under my garage
And when the cops come lookin, I be bookin' to Brooklyn

And all your motherfuckin' enemies, they wanna off ya, like Hoffa
And dump your body in Lake Minnetonka (Shhh)
James Hoffa, an important leader of the labor union disappeared on July 30th, 1975. He was last seen in Detroit by a restaurant to allegedly have a meeting with mobsters. Hoffa’s body was never found and remains an unsolved mystery.
“Murdergram Deux” marks LL Cool J and Eminem’s highly anticipated first collaboration and the fourth single from LL Cool J’s long-awaited upcoming album, The FORCE. With LL’s nostalgic bravado and Eminem’s signature speedy flow and subtle wordplay, the song sees the pair boasting about their raw “unapologetic” style and credibility in the rap game. The track – a sequel to LL’s original “Murdergram” – is produced by Eminem and Q-Tip, LL’s fellow Queens rap legend and former member of A Tribe Called Quest, who has produced the entire album. Two months before the official release of the song, an unfinished version of “Murdergram Deux” was leaked to the public, visibly annoying LL. The song was officially released on August 30th as the album’s fourth single, which is set to drop on September 9, 2024.^[[1] https://genius.com/Ll-cool-j-murdergram-deux-lyrics]

Wednesday's rulings were the latest turn in the on-again, off-again saga of ballot access for independent and third-party candidates in Georgia. An administrative law judge disqualified West, De la Cruz, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the Georgia Green Party from the ballot. But Raffensperger, who gets the last word in such matters, overruled the judge, and said West and De la Cruz should get access.
Raffensperger also ruled that under a new Georgia law, Stein should go on Georgia ballots because the national Green Party had qualified her in at least 20 other states.
Georgia is one of several states where Democrats and allied groups have filed challenges to third-party and independent candidates. ^[[1] https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/judge-disqualifies-cornel-west-running-president-georgia-113604500]

De la Cruz and West – both of whom submitted more than the required 7,500 signatures to gain ballot access – have said they are prepared to take the case to the Georgia Supreme Court.
The Georgia Democratic Party didn't let up, making moves to appeal the secretary of state's order.
De la Cruz's running mate, Karina Garcia, slammed the Democrats for trying to strip third-party ballot access: "Unable to defend their pro-corporate and pro-war record, the Democratic Party's desperate plan is to twist the law to remove any alternatives from the ballot to cement the system of two-party rule. Working people are in crises, and neither party has any real answers."

[Image to text below of statement] >FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE >Abandon Harris Responds to the Harris-Trump Debate >(September 11, 2024) >[Logo]ABANDON HARRIS '24 >In what stands as one of the most vile and grotesque spectacles of our time, two pro-genocide candidates remain united in their appalling silence on the issue that should define the 2024 election: the genocide in Gaza, carried out by Israel with the unwavering support of the Biden-Harris administration and the United States. >Abandon Harris does not mince words: what's happening in Gaza is not just an issue it is the issue of the 2024 election. Anything less is a betrayal of humanity. >Kamala Harris cannot claim to care about climate change while endorsing Israel's destruction of Gaza's water, soil, and air. For 11 months, Israel has bombed Gaza so savagely that the emissions released in the first two months after October 7 were equivalent to burning 150,000 tons of coal. Yet, she remains silent. >Harris cannot champion healthcare while supporting the obliteration of Gaza's healthcare system. Palestinians are left to die, unable to access basic medical care, while polio spreads unchecked among Gaza's most vulnerable. Meanwhile, Israel endangers UN workers risking their lives to deliver lifesaving vaccines. No mention of this on the debate stage. >This is not about choosing between the "lesser of two evils." This is about two evils. One candidate proudly backs, funds, and endorses one of the worst atrocities in modern history, while the other promises to "finish the job." >Abandon Harris calls on every person of conscience to reject this monstrous, bipartisan endorsement of genocide and ethnic cleansing. Do not give your vote to anyone complicit in these crimes. Cast your ballot for third parties who stand on the right side of history, condemning U.S.-backed Israeli atrocities in Gaza. >"Our destiny is November 5th," said Abandon Harris co-founder Dr. Hassan Abdel Salam, "where we will work to ensure that, because of genocide, a sitting vice president loses the election at the hands of a people of conscience.

Duopoly will continue the status quo.
Today Israeli forces killed Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, a Turkish-US citizen, in the West Bank, shooting her in the head as she protested one of the country’s growing and accelerating illegal settlements in the Palestinian territory. The US and Israeli governments are claiming that it is unclear who killed her, but as multiple US outlets report, eyewitnesses and Palestinian officials in the territory say she was killed by Israeli gunfire, and the Israeli military admits that it shot at the protesters.
And . . . that’s it.
No statement from the president, vice president, or any administration official. No condemnation of the unnamed killers, not even a tepid one, nor is there any vow that they will be brought to justice.
In fact, reading the US statements, you wouldn’t even know that Eygi was killed by anyone — just that she tragically, mysteriously died, somehow. Nor has she received the warm, lengthy tributes to her life, character, and future dreams that officials rightly included in their statements on Goldberg-Polin. While officials went to great lengths to demonstrate their grief over his death, the response to Eygi is markedly emotionless.
In fact, we could just look at the last couple of weeks alone, when multiple US citizens have been attacked and shot by Israeli forces and settlers at the exact same protest that Eygi was killed at, and US officials not only didn’t utter a peep about it, they didn’t even bother contacting and checking in on them.In fact, we could just look at the last couple of weeks alone, when multiple US citizens have been attacked and shot by Israeli forces and settlers at the exact same protest that Eygi was killed at, and US officials not only didn’t utter a peep about it, they didn’t even bother contacting and checking in on them.
The end result is that the Israeli government effectively has a green light to kill Americans whenever it wants — a green light, and the means to do so, since these murders are supplied and underwritten by the US government itself.
Given that the Israeli military has itself now killed more than forty-thousand people, engaged in sickening sexual torture, and now also killed US citizens, what does that say about the Israel Defense Forces? And why is the US government still giving such an institution billions of dollars in military aid?

You Can’t Keep Your Parents’ Skulls [Caitlin Doughty | September 4, 2019 | theatlantic.com]
Under U.S. law, it’s nearly impossible to get permission to decapitate and de-flesh a relative’s remains.
Abuse-of-corpse laws exist for a reason. They protect people’s bodies from being mistreated (ahem, necrophilia). They also prevent a corpse from being snatched from the morgue and used for research or public exhibition without the dead person’s consent. History is littered with such violations. Medical professionals have stolen corpses and even dug up fresh graves to get bodies for dissection and research. Then there are cases like that of Julia Pastrana, a 19th-century Mexican woman with a condition called hypertrichosis, which caused hair to grow all over her face and body. After she died, her husband saw that there was money to be made by displaying Pastrana in freak shows, so he took her embalmed and taxidermied corpse on world tour. Pastrana had ceased to be regarded as human; her corpse had become a possession.
So where do skulls on bookcases come from? In the United States, no federal law prevents owning, buying, or selling human remains, unless the remains are Native American. Otherwise, whether you’re able to sell or own human remains is decided by each individual state. At least 38 states have laws that should prevent the sale of human remains, but in reality the laws are vague, confusing, and enforced at random. In one seven-month period in 2012–13, 454 human skulls were listed on eBay, with an average opening bid of just under $650 (eBay subsequently banned the practice).
If there were any legal wiggle room that might allow a person to get Dad’s head liberated from its fleshy shell, Tanya Marsh would know how to find it. Marsh is a law professor and the expert on human-remains law. “I will argue with you all day long,” she told me, “that it isn’t legal in any state in the United States to reduce a human head to a skull.”^[[1] https://archive.ph/SE19g]

Grinning Vladimir Putin suggests support for Kamala Harris as U.S. accuses Russia of election interference

Lots of Russia news, it seems: The Uhuru III trial in Tampa, Florida, is also going on; those were for socialists and for Black empowerment, though.
"I said that our 'favorite,' if I may say so, was the incumbent President Mr. Biden. He was removed from the race, but he recommended that all his supporters support Ms. Harris. So we will do the same, we will support her," Putin said, smiling wryly at an economic forum in Vladivostok.
"It's not surprising that Putin said this with a smirk on his face, that is what he tends to do when engaging in the most blatant and overt trolling of American audiences," Giles said. "It is a burst of trolling, and he's done it before. We had the same excited reaction from some sections of U.S. and international media when he previously endorsed Biden, but of course it is meaningless. There is a clear preference from Russia because there is only one presidential candidate that is so much in favor of Russian interests and would be so inclined to pander to what Russia wants from Ukraine, from Europe, form the world and from the United States," Giles said, referring to former President Trump.
The Biden administration accused Russia on Wednesday of attempting to interfere in the November election, including by creating fake news sites designed to covertly spread Russian propoganda among Americans.
At a meeting of the Election Threats Task Force, which included FBI Director Chris Wray and other top officials in the Justice Department, Attorney General Merrick Garland said Russia Today, known as RT, a media outlet funded by the Russian state, had implemented a scheme to fund a Tennessee-based company to create and disseminate content that was consistent with Russia's goals of pushing division within U.S. society and undermining support for Ukraine.
Documents about another Russian campaign, called the "U.S. Social Media Influencers Project," described the Republican Party as "currently advancing a relatively pro-Russian agenda" that can be "exploited by posing as ardent [Republicans] and relaying the part of their agenda that coincides with ours."
In July, U.S. officials with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security indicated that Russia was working to boost Trump's candidacy in this election cycle, as it did in 2016 and 2020, though they did not directly name his campaign.

He seems the same to me, from following him since he was in New York; he has always been a leader, not a follower.
He moved away from New York, if you followed all that happened in that state and the many videos he released after that.
We are also going through political tribalism being at an all-time high due to the general election, again.
He is the most outspoken and really open person discussing and talking about the right to repair, IMO. I don't know that many that do what he does.

All four are or were affiliated with the African People’s Socialist Party and Uhuru Movement, which has locations in St. Petersburg, Florida, and St. Louis.
The defense attorneys, however, said despite their connections to the Russian organization, the actions taken by the African People’s Socialist Party and Uhuru Movement were aligned precisely with what they have advocated for more than 50 years. Yeshitela founded the organization in 1972 as a Black empowerment group opposed to vestiges of colonialism around the world.
IMO: These are just more status quo fascists pushing for censorship of dissent, using another excuse to limit our first amendment rights.

How far back do you want to go?
Quick search:
Palestine in the ancient world was part of the region known as Canaan where the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah were located. The term `Palestine' was originally a designation of an area of land in southern Canaan which the people known as the Philistines occupied a very small part of.
Palestine came to be referred to by European Christians as the Holy Land and the First Crusade was launched to win it back from Muslim occupation in 1096 CE. This effort was followed by many more, supported by the Byzantine Empire, through 1272 CE at enormous cost of life and property but with nothing finally gained. The Byzantine Empire fell in 1453 CE, greatly reducing Christian influence in the region, and Palestine was held by the Ottoman Turks. The region continued to be contested throughout the next few centuries until the British involved themselves in 1915 CE during World War I at which time the western powers first devised plans to partition the Middle East for their own purposes and benefit.^[[1] https://www.worldhistory.org/palestine/]

Thanks for another owner-class media article.
unwitting right-wing American influencers
"Far-right" and "Far-left" American influencers.
I wonder which journalists in MSM get propped up by the owner-class; it seems many like to follow the status quo, whether they are "left" or "right" leaning.
Federal officials have accused Russia of using unwitting right-wing American influencers in its quest to spread Kremlin propaganda ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Tenet was founded in 2022 by Lauren Chen, a conservative Canadian YouTuber, and her husband, Liam Donovan, whose X profile describes him as president of Tenet Media. Chen hosts a show on Glenn Beck’s BlazeTV and is a contributor to right-wing activist group Turning Point USA. She wrote opinion pieces for RT in 2021 and 2022.
What sets the RT operation apart from many other interference efforts is that it appeared to reach a real audience, thanks to the recognizable names attached.
After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, many American cable distributors dropped RT’s U.S channel, RT America, from their lineups, and it eventually shut down production. The video scheme allowed RT to covertly reach American audiences without a presence on the airwaves, the indictment alleged.
“There was no influence exerted over me in that way. There's no change in my perspective or the nature of my content,” said Matt Christiansen, another Tenet Media contributor, in a livestream on Wednesday evening. “How am I unwittingly duped into saying someone else’s words when I wrote every one of them?”
Walker Hayes released “AA” on November 19, 2021.^[[1] https://genius.com/Walker-hayes-aa-lyrics] --- >For starters, the “AA” in this song is a shoutout to Alcoholics Anonymous, the well-known NGO which helps drunkards kick their alcohol addiction. The way the vocalist references said organization is in alluding to his own desire not to be re-captivated by such malady. The reason he regularly feels compelled to resort to the bottle is because, most simply put, Walker is a bit stressed out. >Up until this point Walker Hayes has a couple of multi-platinum hits under his belt, the most recent being 2021’s “Fancy Like“, which is considered to be his signature song.^[[2] https://www.songmeaningsandfacts.com/aa-by-walker-hayes/] --- >Part of the inspiration for this song was Hayes' near-relapse after his seventh child, Oakleigh, was born and died on the same day in June 2018. The evening after Oakleigh's burial, Hayes came close to drinking alcohol again after two years of sobriety. "That night I actually drove to a bar and I wanted to just get hammered and get in a fight, and I didn't have my wallet," he revealed on Apple Music Country's Ty Bentli Show. "And when I went home, I just broke down." >"When I walked in my house, and I was so ashamed, I saw my wife on the couch all by herself. I was like, 'I'm so sorry.' You know, I left her alone to just go self-destruct," Hayes continued. "And she helped me. She found an AA meeting in Williamson County."^[[3] https://www.songfacts.com/facts/walker-hayes/aa] --- “It was funny: three recovering, alcoholics, writing the truth,” Hayes tells Everything Nash. “Just saying, ‘I’m just trying to do these things in life that I fail at all the time. But I’m trying, and that’s what I’m up to.’ That’s how that song came about. I walked in the room and ‘Fancy Like‘ was just on a rocket. Luke just laughingly said, ‘Man, how are you? What are you doing? How is it going?’ And I said, ‘Man, I’m just trying to stay out of AA.’ He said, ‘Let’s go. You write that down.’ And that was the conception of ‘AA.'”^[[4] https://www.everythingnash.com/walker-hayes-shares-the-story-behind-aa-exclusive/] --- >The song “AA” by Walker Hayes delves deep into the raw and emotional topic of addiction, particularly alcoholism. Hayes, known for his honesty and vulnerability in his songwriting, bares his soul in this hauntingly beautiful composition. The lyrics serve as a confession and a plea for redemption, as Hayes openly admits to his struggle with alcohol and the consequences it has had on his life. >In the bridge, Hayes explores the crucial turning point in his life. He reflects on blaming his failures in life on external factors like his pitching in baseball. However, once he became a father, he realized that he had the power to make a positive change. The lyric “But once a man becomes a father, I’m told the pitcher ought to do well” reveals a newfound determination to be a better person and break free from the grip of addiction.^[[5] https://beatcrave.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-aa-by-walker-hayes-2/]

Document granting tax exemption status, with Cleopatra VII's signature and note ("Make it happen"), Ptolemaic Egypt, 33 BCE
jimmydoreisalefty

English: Duane W. Roller (2010, p. 134) provides a description of this papyrus document from late Ptolemaic Egypt, dated to the reign of Cleopatra VII:
In February 33 B.C. she approved an order granting certain tax exemptions to Publius Canidius Crassus, who had been with Antonius for a decade and would be senior commander of the land forces at Actium. The relevant document is a papyrus recovered from mummy wrappings and first published in the year 2000. Canidius was allowed to import 10,000 artabas of wheat and 5,000 amphoras of wine tax free, and the lands that he owned in Egypt were also exempt. What has excited interest is the subscript in a different hand: γινέσθωι ("make it happen"). There is little doubt that this is the writing of the queen herself, as there was a tradition in Ptolemaic Egypt of countersigning by the monarch, in part to avoid forgery of official documents. This autograph of Cleopatra VII certainly is one of the more exciting discoveries of recent years: the only other known royal autographs from antiquity are of Ptolemy X and Theodosios II, both somewhat less interesting than the queen. The document also indicates the dichotomy that still existed at the very end of the Ptolemaic era between the rulers (and their Roman allies) and the ruled, where the former continued to obtain special privileges.
Edit: added below
Kleopatra The Great
How accurate is the Roman writers’ portrayal of Kleopatra as an immoral, tragic queen of Egypt?

[Line to seperate] >Ethnic Cleansing: The establishment of Israel in 1948 was not merely a historical event, but a calculated act to force hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes, as part of a larger planned strategy. The continuous destruction of Palestinian homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, along with severe restrictions on the rights and freedoms of Palestinians, brings the Zionist Ethnic Cleansing closer to its goal >The Israeli invasion in 1948 for occupying Palestine and the creation of Israel led to the displacement of about 700,000 Palestinians, according to historians. >Hundreds of Palestinian villages were depopulated or destroyed during the Zionist invasion in 1948. According to Palestinian groups, Israel destroyed more than 500 Palestinian villages during and after the 1948 war. >Estimates vary, but common figures sug- gest that some 300,000 to 400,000 Palestinians were expelled or fled across Palestine's borders in 1948 >Israel's "Absent Property Law" of 1950 allowed the government to seize land and homes left over from Palestinian refugees. >United Nations data shows that more than 5 million Palestinian refugees and children have been registered in the relief and work organization of this organization as a result of displacements in 1948. >According to Human Rights Watch, since 1967, Israeli authorities have demolished more than 50,000 Palestinian homes in the West Bank (including East Jerusalem).

IMO:
US it’s all about how likely you are to repay your debt.
Yes, playing the game how they want you to will keep you in the safe area.
Not, like, how many times you heil Xi or avoid eye contact with Pooh bears (I joke) (or do I?)
