"bulldozing Palestinian homes to build Israeli ones" occurs when they're built without planning permission, which happens in every country, including Israeli homes. It's just that when the country is Israel, and the illegal builder is Palestinian, it becomes an International incident.
By the way did you know that Jews aren't allowed to live in the Palestinian territories, and that under Palestinian law, selling land to a Jew is a capital offence?
Did you know that Israel has violated 28 UN Security Council resolutions (which are binding for UN members, which Israel is)? Or how about that Israel has been condemned in 45 resolutions by the United Nations Human Rights Council? Or that Israel has violated the Geneva convention multiple times, including by using weapons like white phosphorus on civilians and by allowing their civilian population to settle in territory they're occupying?
This is why Ned Flanders shuns insurance as gambling
Great reference and really a lesson of why insurance is in fact valuable as that episode wouldn't have any conflict if Ned did just have a standard policy which would have covered a freak occurrence of a hurricane blowing your entire house down which is the exact scenario your average person cannot self-insure for.
Of course then Ned would not have had his chance to solve his repressed anger issues but that plot point was abandoned pretty quickly in the show.
Also, Ned's house was completely back to normal in the next episode. Real life of course doesn't work that way.
No one in the US uses the term mum, unless you're in Texas around October. But that is something completely different.
True enough. It was probably deemed a "racist" term back when they blackballed Aunt Jemima.
Fewer and fewer kids in the US know any term for father. But that's something completely different.
No, its because we're not British. We say mom, and because a mummy is a mummified corpse and not a food.
One small step for man, one giant stumble for mankind.
