You are cherry picking. The sale of TikTok conversation goes way back and has little to do with Israel and more to do that they were caught spying on our phones.

saying "we have a Tiktok problem"

All the more proving my point that TikTok is filled to the brim with anti-semitic content and "Palestine" content is in no way restricted.

Twitch updated it's Hateful Conduct Policy to say "Zionist" is "hate speech"

Good. Calling for destruction of Israel is hate speech. Which is how "Zionist" is used most of the time.

Fox to buy Roku 1 month ago

The only entity that "passes" laws in this country is Congress.

You mean via executive order? That's not exactly passing a law.

That works for relatively simple scenarios. When you have to add deploying sql changes or something having to update something in the cloud, you'd have to include a lot more plumbing.

Provides a lot of ammunition to Israel that is killing thousands of innocents in Gaza and Lebanon

I love how you just casually throw this out there as if it's an accepted fact. Casualty figures in Gaza/Lebanon are heavily disputed and have been from the get go. Hamas health ministry numbers don't distinguish combatants from civilians, ignore Hamas's use of human shields and embedding in civilian areas, or account for misfires/own goals. "Innocents" is subjective in urban warfare against groups like Hamas and Hezbollah (both designated terror orgs by many countries), whose charters and actions explicitly target Israeli civilians.

weapons will lead to more weapons, more violence and more war

This is naive at best, dangerous at worst - western, white savior thinking. Weakness invites aggression. Example Russia's invasions or Hamas's Oct 7 attack. Deterrence matters and has mattered since day immemorial (cold war, for instance).

Arms races don't automatically lead to wars - they have deeper roots like ideology, territory, resources, etc... One-sided restraint has sometimes led to worse outcomes. Example here would be 1930s appeasement.

It says US-Israel Bloc military deaths - 74. Iran military deaths - 10,500 It has no information what is the source of information. Seems like made up numbers.

I think part of the issue in California at least is that you must have insurance. You gonna get a giant fine if you don't.
