'Anti-Israel rioters burn US flag, attempt to breach Capitol Police line as Netanyahu addresses Congress'



Expect more enabling speeches from Harris and Biden condemning Islamophobia.

Lowering the US flag and raising the Palestinian flag in its place.


Vigorous displays of free speech.

.

Did they attack and injure police officers like Trumpers did on Jan 6??????????
Everything that happened today is a weekly occurrence in DC. I lived in the area. This stuff goes on every weekend lol
I remember back in the day the chant in DC at a protest "Sharone and Hitler are the same. The only difference is there name"
20 years later, not much has changed in DC
News is when the police get attacked and injured

A picture from today's protest in the NY post. Hmm
Wonder why Tanko didn't post this.
Orthodox Jews leading the protest against Israel
Protesting against Israel is not anti semitism

I hate him so much. Just a worthless human being in every sense (besides bank account, lol).

Will never get why certain people worship him.


He may be a bizzarro. But he is a visionary. Imagine the obstacles to making electric cars a reality. It’s not easy to open an ice cream parlor, let alone an EV manufacturing plant. Do you not agree that without his leadership the world would be years behind in EV use/production/acceptance/etc..?

Correct. There is a small percentage of the protestors against Israel that are not anti-Semitic. The majority of course are. The Houti’s in Yemen launched rockets at Israel? Do you support Israel’s counterattack even though some were killed? Or should Israel just ignore it when bombs are launched from Yemen/Syria/Lebanon at them?

he was brilliant in realizing that people would want EVs under the right circumstances

Traditional automakers were still making your basic piece of s@#t with their first offerings, as if they were making sure none of them had any appeal at all

but Musk took full advantage of government help too, and still is. They say they make much of their money by selling carbon offsets

>>>

googled,

For a decade, Tesla was de facto the only EV manufacturer. So, they were in the advantageous position of then being able to sell carbon offset credits to other automakers, who had zero EVs in their vehicle portfolios. Selling regulatory credits is a tidy business for Tesla.Feb 16, 2024

How Tesla is banking billions in regulatory emissions credits

Basically he made a performance car out of the gate that was very practical for drag racing gasoline hotrods. "ludicrous" mode.

I do not see what is so great about making EVs a thing. Just another car. And his have the ugliest interiors I have ever seen.

It's complicated

Netanyahu is determined to have a Jewish demographic majority in the West Bank through settlements. This policy is against peace.
Israel is taking this land therefore there will never be peace in this region
