"What the White House did this week ... It seemed like a very significant shift, saying there would be consequences if they didn't allow essentially more humanitarian aid and take more care of civilian lives. Were you satisfied with that statement?" Raddatz asked.
"I think 'there will be consequences' is part of the problem," Andrés responded. "[There] should be already consequences. Support Israel right to defend itself, but you cannot be just giving weapons that they are [using to kill] American citizens who are humanitarians. You can be supporting Israel's right to defend themselves but, at the same time, you can be asking Israel to conduct themselves at the highest possible human level."

Not Understanding The Power Of The Sternly Worded Letter
Followed by Miller or McGurk or Blinken going out there with smirks and showing their crossed fingers to the assembled press.
Lane Lines
Teslas do not have adequate sensors to do what they claim to do and yet...
For years, Tesla and federal regulators have been aware of problems with Autopilot following lane lines, including cars being guided in the wrong direction of travel and placed in the path of cross-traffic — with sometimes fatal results. Unlike vehicles that are designed to be completely autonomous, like cars from Waymo or Cruise, Teslas do not currently use sensors such as radar or lidar to detect obstacles. Instead, Teslas rely on cameras.Elon basically said people just have two eyes so good enough for his cars (cameras). Of course our brains are capable of many things his computers aren't, which is why you need better sensors to have any hope of these things working as desired.

Musk of course doesn't have a robotaxi, but, more than that, he's just going to unveil a stage prop.

It Would Be Very Rude To Call This Ethnic Cleansing
So don't.
According to Arab mediators involved in the talks, Israel is open to permitting returns to the north at a rate of 2,000 people a day, mainly women and children. A maximum of 60,000 Palestinians could return under a proposal deemed acceptable by Israel, but they would mostly exclude men between the ages of 18 and 50.
Things We Knew Almost From The Beginning
Netanyahu wasn't concerned with the hostages; if anything, he thought they were an obstacle. This was no war against Hamas, it was a deliberate destruction of as much of Gaza and its inhabitants as possible with the intention of expelling them all, if possible. This was always going to end, at some point, with much the same resolution other than the scale of destruction and body count.
Not saying it has ended now, but for the first time there is some positive movement.
I would like one good faith powerful person (maybe one whose names rhymes with Leposi) to explain what changed between January and April and if that was really anything other than a reflection of their extremely poor judgment.

LOOK OUT BELOW, ELMO
Will take awhile before everyone understands, but this is Tesla quitting, basically, whether Elon knows it or not.
April 5 (Reuters) - Tesla has canceled the long-promised inexpensive car that investors have been counting on to drive its growth into a mass-market automaker, according to three sources familiar with the matter and company messages seen by Reuters.The automaker will continue developing self-driving robotaxis on the same small-vehicle platform, the sources said.
Momentous
I really don't think conditioning aid and arms sale on, well, whatever the fuck "we" want, is momentous.
It long ago ceased to be reasonable to describe this as a "war." It's a slaughter.
Or will Biden take the momentous step of conditioning the terms of US support for Israel in a war that was triggered by Hamas terror attacks in Israel that killed 1,200 people?Who's the fucking superpower?
It long ago ceased to be reasonable to describe this as a "war." It's a slaughter.
