For the love of God please just say latinos. You don't need to police our language.

Latines is better than Latinx which is a monstrous perversion, but spanish is just fine the way it is.

Yeah I'm gonna distance myself from you here. I'm not pro Israel. They have done and continue to do some horrible shit and I've seen first hand the effects of that. The unfiltered hatred some people there possess shocked me. They did not lose the public relations war, their actions alone have made their public relations what it is.

I was just advocating for nuance and honesty.

You're getting downvoted but you're not wrong. I lived in Israel for 4 years and I was in an Arab neighborhood. They were mostly christian, but they were all pre-israel descendants and they had all the same rights as anyone else.

I'm super against what the government of Israel does, but apartheid just doesn't fit.

I have also lived in south Africa, post apartheid but close enough that I'm very familiar with what it really was.

I see why apartheid is used, in some ways it is descriptive and useful but it ignores a lot and is ultimately inaccurate like you say.

Question, do these bodies have teeth? And if so would these teeth exist without the EU?

My understanding of the EU is that the only thing they can really do to coerce uncooperative members is threaten to revoke membership.

So, if these bodies are not EU, and it wants to impose a sanction against a member nation, by what mechanism can it enforce that?

Just wondering.

Reas this again like someone else wrote it. It's condescending and patronizing. You're not better than these people you judge.

Ever since I started riding (motorcycles) I don't even really notice it anymore. Anything less hot than "armored jacket and helmet under the sun" just doesn't register as hot anymore

This makes me wonder, who else here isn't actually a programmer but an IT professional who appreciates the content?
