Israel–Hamas War: 10/7/2023 - Present

[Mister Terrific]

Young adults show the biggest decline in ratings of Israel, dropping from 64% favorable among 18- to 34-year-olds in 2023 to 38%. Middle-aged adults (those aged 35 to 54) show a smaller but still significant drop, from 66% to 55%, while there has been no meaningful change among adults aged 55 and older.

As a result, the modest age differences in ratings of Israel seen a year ago, when 10 percentage points separated young adults' and older adults’ views, have expanded. Older Americans are now nearly twice as likely as younger Americans to rate Israel positively, 71% to 38%, respectively.

Young people hate Israel. Older folk are still in love with Israel. Young people don’t vote, especially not local elections . Old people always vote everywhere. If you wonder why US politicians support Israel even though Israel is a net negative on our geopolitical positioning. There you go.

The polling only talks about whether you like or dislike Israel. Not whether you support GENOCIDE.

The majority of the public support a ceasefire. The overwhelming amount of the democratic party supports a ceasefire.

Biden's actions, acting like a cuck to bibi is why people hate him. Not because he supports Israel. They straight up lie, supply weapons, and a whole bunch of other obviously shady shyt.

Also, one thing that most people with brains notice is how many DUAL CITIZENS are in his cabinet of the blue and white. That is a conflict of interests and they should recuse themselves from all dealings involving Israel.

Federal and local judges have been taken out of cases almost exclusively because at one point in their life, they owned stock in a company currently in trial. Conflicts of interests is huge and having all your big foreign affairs agents be ISRAELI citizens is extremely bad optics.

East Jerusalem. 12 year old kid out playing with fireworks. Police killed him. Ben-Gvir is praising the cop

 

[Mister Terrific]

Definitely. Take off the head of the snake the rest of the body will die. Then you start helping Palestinians develop a political party to run shyt and you start supplying them with weapons to protect themselves. Completely flip the script on Israel and cut all ties with them.

Former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin says he's putting together investor group to buy TikTok

Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says he’s going to put together an investor group to buy TikTok after the House passed a bill that would ban the popular video app in the U.S. if its China-based owner doesn’t sell its stake.

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says he’s going to put together an investor group to buy TikTok, a day after the House of Representatives passed a bill that would ban the popular video app in the U.S. if its China-based owner doesn’t sell its stake.

TikTok, which has more than 170 million American users, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chinese technology firm ByteDance Ltd.

Speaking on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Mnuchin said Thursday that he believes TikTok should be sold.

“This should be owned by U.S. businesses. There’s no way that the Chinese would ever let a U.S. company own something like this in China,” said Mnuchin.

Mnuchin, the U.S. Treasury secretary under President Donald Trump, didn’t provide details on who else may be included in the investor group he plans on forming or TikTok’s possible valuation.

TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The House bill, passed by a vote of 352-65, now goes to the Senate, where its prospects are unclear. House lawmakers had acted on concerns that TikTok’s current ownership structure is a national security threat.

Lawmakers in the Senate have indicated that the measure will undergo a thorough review. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has said that he’ll have to consult with relevant committee chairs to determine the bill’s path.

US lawmakers see TikTok as China’s tool, even as it distances itself from Beijing



President Joe Biden has said if Congress passes the measure, he will sign it.

TikTok has long denied that it could be used as a tool of the Chinese government. The company has said it has never shared U.S. user data with Chinese authorities and won’t do so if it is asked. To date, the U.S. government also has not provided evidence that shows TikTok shared such information with Chinese authorities.

WHO ELSE COULD BUY TIKTOK?​

While some others have voiced an interest in buying TikTok’s U.S. business — among them “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary — there are a number of challenges including a 6-month deadline to get it done.

“Somebody would have to actually be ready to shell out the large amount of money that this product and system is worth,” said Stanford University researcher Graham Webster, who studies Chinese technology policy and U.S.-China relations. “But even if somebody has deep enough pockets and is ready to go into negotiating to purchase, this sort of matchmaking on acquisitions is not quick.”

Big tech companies could afford it but would likely face intense scrutiny from antitrust regulators in both the U.S. and China. Then again, if the bill actually becomes law and survives First Amendment court challenges, it could make TikTok cheaper to buy.

“One of the main effects of the legislation would be to decrease the sale price,” said Matt Perault, director of the University of North Carolina’s Center on Technology Policy, which gets funding from TikTok and other tech companies. “As you approach that 180-day clock, the pressure on the company to sell or risk being banned entirely would be high, which would mean probably the acquirers could get it at a lower price.”

HASN’T SOMEONE TRIED TO BUY TIKTOK BEFORE?​

Yes. The Trump administration — Mnuchin was Treasury secretary at the time — brokered a deal in 2020 that would have had U.S. corporations Oracle and Walmart take a large stake in TikTok on national security grounds.

The deal would have also made Oracle responsible for hosting all TikTok’s U.S. user data and securing computer systems to ensure national security requirements are satisfied. Microsoft also made a failed bid for TikTok that its CEO Satya Nadella later described as the “strangest thing I’ve ever worked on.”

Instead of congressional action, the 2020 arrangement was in response to then-President Trump’s series of executive actions targeting TikTok.

But the sale never went through for a number of reasons. Trump’s executive orders got held up in court as the 2020 presidential election loomed. China also had imposed stricter export controls on its technology providers.

Its ok to say you dont understand how social media algorithms work, how shadow banning works, how these things push narratives. And yes, most young america did not understand the plight of the Palestinians prior to tiktok. They thought oh israel is just a country of innocent indigenous jewish people trying to get along with the palestinians thanks to propaganda from the media.

The original chinese owner owns 20% of the company. The other 80% is owned by private investors including western investors. Clothes auto parts medicine food is all coming from this "hostile" nation. But the app is a threat put the kool aid down breh.
