US has sent Israel thousands of 2,000-pound bombs since Oct. 7

Not really complicated. That's why Irish MEP Clare Daly called him "Butcher Biden" and said he dishonors the legacy of his ancestors. It seems many Irish-Americans agree.

As far as I know, economy seats are still sold at a loss. They make up for it in the higher classes. I don't fly through Doha often but when I do, I do like getting on Qatar Airways.

Etihad Rail is one component of the Gulf Railway that will connect: Oman, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. So far it is the only part that is completed. Each country is responsible for its length of the railroad. The Arabian Gulf region is the least populated part of Saudi Arabia and therefore the Saudi length of the track is a low priority for the Saudi government and work is scheduled to start in 2026.

 
 

All lines are currently in service except the purple and yellow lines which are under construction. The UAE portion of the Gulf Railway begun freight service and will begin passenger service between Abu Dhabi and Dubai later this year.

The orange line is a dedicated High Speed Rail with a service speed of 300 km/h (190 mph). The remaining line are shared with freight and have a service speed of 200 km/h (120 mph).

Why are they dropping bombs that take out entire blocks though? They aren't even being precise about it. It is not like they have hidden their genocidal intents.

"The emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy" -- Daniel Hagari

"We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly" -- Yoav Gallant

Just a few of many quotes that reveal their intents and yet here you are defending genocide.

I do enjoy the hypocrisy of Western leaders, they aren't even tacit about it anymore, and the public evidently are so propagandized as to justify genocide even when they think they oppose it.

Brought to you by the only* democracy in the Middle East. If Israel is truly a democracy doesn't mean the people voted for genocide?

* not actually true

No, the US has been an empire from the start. Unless you don't count conquering and colonizing the indigenous peoples because they aren't "civilized" or something.

No one minds you voting for Biden believe it or not. We do mind being demonized and straw-personed for not voting for him.
