  • Because Isreal is a leading military power in the Middle East. They are Western in most of their views and the US can deal with them. You can’t say the same about any of the other Middle Eastern nations.

    Israel is coming down hard on Gaza and Hamas to make an example of them. They are going to send that strip back to the Stone Age. This operation is a statement, “this is what happens when you fuck with us. “

    No other Middle Eastern powers give a shit about Gaza. They make noises to appease their populations. But no other Nation has offered direct military assistance or action.

    In short it would be stupid to drop Israel as an ally over this.








  • It’s silly but it addresses a real problem. You don’t see job ads stating no women, Blacks, Mexicans, people with disabilities, etc. (This was very much a thing in the not too distant past, just look at job ads in the USA from the 60s)

    Age was added later because employers prefer hiring younger people as they can often pay them significantly less and get more work out of them because of their inexperience.

    There are examples of employers firing all of their older workers to save money (though many of these companies turned out as terrible for the long term health of the company).

    Older people tend to vote more and the state doesn’t want to pay unemployment to people so hence the law was amended.

    This is just another example of age and deviousness triumphing over youth and enthusiasm.
