Anyone who loves their pet would never donate their living little friend. Imagine the poor things in a holding pen waiting to be exterminated. Wouldn't recently deceased pets seem a more sensitive alternative?

Try googling "do statins increase risk of alzheimer's" to get other opinions on this issue.

So are you following the Atkins diet?

Usufruct and lease are not the same thing. Also, usufruct might be more secure than a lease which can be broken in certain circumstances. However, I seem to remember reading a while ago that a usufruct given by one's spouse is not as secure as with an unrelated person.

The "river to the sea" movement that is happening right now is Greater Israel. Hamas has already agreed to accept a two state solution, which is now the position of many countries that have finally realized that the status quo is unsustainable. The problem is to get to a point in the road to a two state solution where the concept of a sovereign Palerstinian state is clear and the process cannot be derailed by Amerika or its wagging tail. That would obviate the need or excuse for armed resistance to an occupation.

The US should help the people defeat the junta, then help them build processing facilities for their rare earths.

Unfortunately Zohran was born to Indian parents in Uganda, so he is not eligible to run.

The US State Department went out of its way to sabotage the Conference: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5419094-us-un-conference-israel-palestine/ And US official policy advocates the two-state solution!

With reference to Palestinian prisoners, they have been raped at Sde Teiman military prison in the Negev. It was big in the news, but you don't know about it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_and_gender-based_violence_against_Palestinians_during_the_Gaza_war https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/08/israels-escalating-use-torture-against-palestinians-custody-preventable https://theintercept.com/2024/08/09/israel-prison-sde-teiman-palestinian-abuse-torture/

https://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/uspstf/recommendation/prostate-cancer-screening The current recommendation is not to test PSA in men over 70, although this site announces that there is an update in progress. It has a number of sections (scroll down) on rationale, etc, for their determinations. When I recently had a colonoscopy in Bangkok, they would only do so under general anesthesia since I'm near 80 years old. Not my preference.

Israel needs to get over its paranoia. Now this has resulted in going rogue, violating the basic international rules through which it was born.

Individual countries or groups of countries can declare sanctions on Israel. They don't need Trump's permission.

One shouldn't take violence advocated in one's holy book too seriously. Israel will undo itself by its wanton obsession to dominate the Middle East. Try living in peace for a change.

Sanctions would be more effective.

Yes, and the perpetrators will say that they were just following orders. There are a lot of selfie videos they made happily committing war crimes, so their version may not be too credible.
