...what communities are you in that you regularly identify a group of liberals preaching for Israel's genocide?

Releasing hostages was NOT something Israel said would end the conflict. They pulled that little line out of their agreed deal. Temporary ceasefire if they release all hostages..so..long enough to look pretty for the camera and then start it all over again.
You've said before that the only actions taken in the last 70 years in that region were from Palestinians attacking Israel, ignoring every single event that Israel took the lion's share in. Are you being willfully ignorant as to avoid finding out details you don't like?
Not a single person in this thread is praising Hamas, no one is advocating for the death of civilians, or celebrating it. But they are calling out dehumanizing behavior, like personally signing (with a cute message no less) bombs that may or may not be dropped on civilians. Historically speaking, like, within the last week even, we can assume some of those bombs were dropped on designated safe zones.
And those companies, with the right laws on the books, would hopefully think twice about breaking said laws for fear of their executives going to jail.
Potential executives would think twice about joining companies that might be prone to being sent to jail.
This example always gets brought up, that people will just replace them, but they won't if we de-incentive it and continue to enforce it. You can't stop murder, but you can make it easier to catch murderers and place enough consequences that the average person doesn't feel inclined to commit it. Sure, then there's career criminals, there's people who would see that punishment and still go for it, but note that the number would be drastically reduced than if we just let them continue on unimpeded.

New Outlook exists
Customer: "I hate change, can't you just put it back to how it was"
No, I can't. You can use Classic Outlook, but that won't have the features you want, and it's going out the door so you have to change. No, I can't program the Ribbon to look like it used to, that's just what Billy Microsoft decided.
In the show, defense attorneys were called out for being knee deep in the system and their careers holding more value than 'justice', or that's how I read into the Jake-dating-a-lawyer episodes. Her boss was dirty, she was mad he exposed that and jeopardized her career.
Casually laying out biblical punishment after insulting some hypocrisy or another. In want that God
That's so upsetting, mostly because fuck anyone that takes that joke as a legitimate call to violence from some of the nicest guys to have ever toured.
I think you absolutely CAN make those jokes, and you should. Nothing is 'sacred' as a space for jokes, and surely not the literal satanic piss stain. The 'right' gets put on blast for making legitimate calls to violence, and making jokes. You have to do both.
This pearl clutching over "wish he died" jokes is so stupidly puritanical. The world WOULD be a better place if he hadn't pulled through, the same that it would have been if Bush had been taken out before the 27 middle east invasions. Same if you'd dropped Duterte off a building, Putin out of a window, Mussolini (his granddaughter, the people already got to the man himself) off a cliff. Authoritarians and warmongers and xenophobics have no place in the realm of polite, they gave up their seat, and so they can sit on the stage and be mocked for the spectacle they are.
This is hands down one of the most depressing articles I've read in recent memory.
Not that worse things haven't happened recently, just that the people in this article are despicable in a way that leaves me feeling defeated. Christ, not a single woman who needed help in that article got help, and the people put in place to help them told them "don't show off your shoulders, slut" and then intentionally filed it away in a manner that shows as "no sexual harassment complaints since 2001". Fuckinf hell
And that's what I think they're failing to measure. I think they're unable to accurately divorce the increase in sales from other incentives/market forces, and so they're just doing what they've been doing regardless of actual merit, or the merit is being improperly evaluated
I was just talking about this the other day. I think Coke and some companies have reached a saturation point that makes advertisements useless.
I dont know if we have any data to model off of, but I'd love to see if their profits dip by any meaningful amount if they stopped advertising for 3 months straight. Let the movie theaters, and the restaurants, and the culturally embedded soft drink preferences do their thing and see if the dial moves.
I don't know what communities you're in with a Liberal lean that aren't lambasting the Democrat party's stance on Israel.
I agree with you, anyone taking a pro Israel stance right now is pretty reprehensible. But I hope you're not conflating "vote Democrat so we don't get Trump" as pro Israel sentiment. Most of the people saying that, from what I'm seeing, have been pro-Palestine or are under the belief that a more authoritarian leaning party (like the one we had from 2016-2020) would result in worse conditions for the Palestinian people.
