My tree continues to produce unusually large lemons. It has produced thousands this season. We have given away at least 150 to friends and neighbours. My family is drowning in lemonade.

Lebanese President Aoun is making me like him more and more today. Here he says that in Lebanon, the only acceptable flag is the Lebanese flag. Anyone who carries a flag of another country should move to that country. Keep them coming, Prez!

An interceptor missile was fired toward another suspected Hezbollah drone that was identified over an area of southern Lebanon where troops are deployed, the military says. The IDF says the results of the interception of the "suspicious aerial target" are under review.

He's right, stupidity is no reason for someone to be arrested. He should be mocked relentlessly for being a dumbass.

שוחחתי אתמול בערב בטלפון ארוכות עם אלכס סינקלר. אזרח ישראלי, שוחר טוב, שישב בבית קפה במודיעין ומצא את עצמו נגרר לתא מעצר, ללא שום עילה חוקית, רק בגלל שהכיפה שלראשו לא מצאה חן בעיני מישהו. אותה כיפה, אגב, שהוא חובש כבר עשרים שנים. הסיפור של אלכס הוא לא רק סיפור על כיפה שנגזרה בגסות על ידי שוטרים. הוא סיפור על קריסתה של משטרת ישראל. מה שראינו במודיעין אינו קשור לאכיפת החוק, אלא ביטוי להתפרקות המוחלטת של המשטרה והפיכתה למיליציה פוליטית מסוכנת בשירותו של בן גביר. משטרה שאמורה להגן על אזרחים, מתנהגת כמו כנופיה שרודפת אותם על סמך השקפת עולמם האישית. כששמעתי את אלכס, הרגשתי כעס עמוק. כעס על השרירותיות, על האלימות הממסדית, על כך שיהודי שחובש כיפה נאלץ לעבור השפלה כזו במדינת היהודים, פשוט כי כיפתו מבטאת מורכבות ששלטון הפחד מסרב להכיל. גזירת הכיפה של אלכס היא סמל לגזירת הנשמה הדמוקרטית והסובלנית של החברה שלנו. השחתת סמל דתי על ידי לובשי מדים היא מעשה של טירוף מערכות מוחלט. אבל בתוך הכעס הגדול הזה, יש לי גם תקווה אמיתית. התקווה הזו נשענת על אנשים כמו אלכס, שלא מרכינים ראש, שמתעקשים על הזכות הבסיסית לחופש ביטוי ומחשבה, ושיוצאים להילחם על דמותה של המדינה. ישראלים רבים כל כך מבינים היום היטב שהמאבק שלנו אינו רק על מוקדי השלטון, אלא על עצם נשמתה של מדינת ישראל. החושך הקיצוני שבן גביר ושותפיו מפיצים לא ינצח. אנחנו נחזיר את המשטרה להיות גוף ממלכתי, מקצועי ונקי מכפיפות פוליטית מסוכנת. אנחנו נחזיר את השפיות, נשקם את ההריסות, ונבנה פה חברה שבה כל אזרח יכול לשבת בבית קפה, עם כל כיפה שיבחר, מבלי לפחד מהאנשים שאמורים לשמור עליו. אנחנו בדמוקרטים לעולם לא נוותר על המדינה הזאת.

@aryehazan So here we don't agree. That approach leads to endless culture wars as the balance of power shifts. Unless one values system snuffs out the other and you end up with Iran. Might be fun to talk for real sometime. Got to go. Shabbat shalom

@aryehazan At least we agree that the kipa is idiotic. I think it's better to let the stupidity take care of itself while we focus on the massive amount of important stuff we have to deal with - and win. In your bio "freedom (social and academic)" yet you want to pass laws to ban flags?

@aryehazan That's not what 78 years of history says. Maybe if we focused on one goal, like unapologetic victory, we'd be better off. We allow ourselves to be distracted by things that don't make our great country safer or stronger. They just rip us apart.

@aryehazan We haven't destroyed any of our enemies. So let's ban their flags instead? If we truly win, the flags don't matter. Let the guy in the coffee shop wear the Pal flag on his kippah. It doesn't matter. Changing the law to ban his foolish expression is a distraction. Win the fight.

@aryehazan No. For every Nazi flag flown, raise 1000 Israeli flags. Why ban the Hezbollah flag then allow them to reconstitute every few years and fire missiles at us? Fight to win where it matters. Banning flags and symbols doesn't make Israel safer or stronger. It makes us seem weak.

@aryehazan You wrote that we need a law to criminalize displaying the Palestinian flag. I disagree. Need people to think before they do stupidly provocative things, even if the expression is protected and understand that the consequences might not be what they expect. Shabbat shalom.

@aryehazan Never threatened anyone in my life. I was talking in the general sense about someone who thinks they are taking a principled stance but doesn't think about the people around them. Even when being right, someone can be wrong.

@aryehazan Even within the law, free speech should have limits based on common sense and sensitivity. The wrong words or actions in the wrong place or time without consideration can bring bad results that being technically "right" can't undo. I don't know why you read yourself into that.

@Osint613 Current UN Secretary General term ends Dec 31, 2026. I can't believe Macron doesn't have his eye on that. He can't stand not being in the spotlight, even if he has to buy one to shine on himself.

@hahussain Since the cease fire has expired, I wonder what would happen if suddenly there was a hole in that empty tanker. I mean, it might hit a mine or something else that explodes.

Wow! The Iranians are getting a 30 yr old tanker out of retirement to handle oil production overflow. This proves overland capacity is near saturation. VLCC takes up to 2 min barrels, which can keep them going two extra days without shutting down wells, which if they do, they risk losing permanently half a million barrels of daily production (Iran produces up to 3 mln daily). Prez Trump is waiting Iran out. Price of barrel of oil is on the higher end but below $100, which cannot cause a dent in the global economy or hurt US consumers, at least since waiting for Iran seems to be a matter of weeks, not months. Miad also previously explained that Iran had to import refined gasoline given its limited capacity in refining its own. If the blockade forces its storage to run out, that's another ticking clock that will further squeeze the Iranians and make them more willing to compromise.
Miad Maleki@miadmaleki

My earlier analysis estimated ~13 days before Kharg Island onshore storage hits capacity. @Tankertrackers confirms Iran has pulled NASHA (9079107), a 30yo VLCC, out of retirement to handle overflow. ~13-day figure was based on ~13M barrels spare capacity at Kharg ÷ ~1.0–1.1M bpd net daily inflow, projected from around early-to-mid April, which puts the saturation window squarely around late April, consistent with NASHA being activated today, April 23.

@Osint613 They agreed to disarm Hezbollah in November of 2024. Besides absolutely nothing, what has the Lebanese government accomplished towards this commitment?
