In Nov 2021, the FTC determined that, over a 3yr period, Amazon stole $61.7M in tips from its drivers and Amazon’s punishment was to simply pay back the drivers exactly $61.7M. Not even an additional fine. They just paid back the workers they stole from, said oopsie, and moved on

It’s not hyperbole to say this shit is incitement to genocide. Not only does this glib smearing of UNRWA as a “terrorist” front group endanger aid workers, it justifies cutting off food and medicine to civilians and seeks to erases Palestinian refugee status and Right of Return

North Gaza is now, according to The Economist, “uninhabitable for years.” Israel is now focusing its bombing and invasion on south Gaza, which presumably will also be left uninhabitable. When Gaza is made entirely uninhabitable, resettlement cannot, by definition, be “voluntary”

again, short of the full blown ethnic cleansing of Gaza, every liberal and liberal institution will eventually get to this position, it’s simply a matter of doing so at 10,000 dead Palestinian children, 15,000, 20,000, 30,000 or 50,000. It’s predetermined. It’s inevitable.
