If Palestine can't even agree that the Hamas org is a terrorist group, by its goals, then you're back at square one.
Looking in history you can play victim sides all day long . It makes jt easy to justify whatever you want in a present conflict .

The problem is there is no trust, and trust is required for any ceasefire. I personally would love a ceasefire.. But I also understand the US logic for wanting to add terms to ensure trust

Action needed to be taken against Hamas. Israel is not taking the right action, not even close.

What I have trouble sympathizing with is the use of civilian deaths as a sympathy tactic. This war is literally want Hamas wants. The goal of the ruling Gaza government is to get enough of its own citizens killed so the rest of the world punishes Israel. It should be condemned, yet it isn't. And I don't know why people seem to ignore that fact.

For one it makes it so you can't discriminate based on pre existing conditions and extended parental coverage to yr 25.
And with regards to setting up your own government funded pharmacy... That would be very costly and very technically challenging. What we would get is essentially the same industry as our defense industry, but for Healthcare. And our defense industry is not cost effective

Honestly the time for action and sanctions was years ago.

US gov is not giving aljazeera an order. They are asking for reasons of national security. They aren't breaking any of the US laws, and the US converses with many news networks in private all the time

I think youre giving companies a lot more credit than they deserve.
No joke, I think a lot of it is fomo. With a heaping load of greed. If they have this profit, they can cut cost by making more profit, and labor is a huge part of cost.
Labor can be used for development and improvement, if already good, cut labor and maintain in low touch mode. Maximize gain
