It means the same as “spy”, in my experience.

By what metric is the US “the world’s leader”?
I know this from personal experience after reading the entirety of the Left Behind book series as they were published. At the start I was spending my summers in the equivalent of that Jesus Camp documentary, and by the time I finished was at the end of my personal deconversion journey and come out the other side as an opinionated college atheist.
So, yeah, quite terrifying to see that kink for the apocalypse continue to play out in front of us.
Russia and Iran have already won this round. Palestinians will be paying the price.
Hamas is not all Palestinians.
Source? Was it actually a BBC reporter or someone they were interviewing?
Depends on what we mean by “space”, but IMO this sentiment is much more contemporary than what someone living in the space-based luxury we see from Starfleet would think.
Good question, should ask Israel the same thing.
Or, counter-counterpoint, everyone and their dog knows that Israel is spying on everyone and their dog, so all communications by people planning this shit are kept to in person or paper. Anything that has to be transmitted electronically likely is said in code phrases that are agreed on in person.
This has been standard practice for anyone involved in the intelligence world for over a century, so I would sure hope so!
It’s still a huge intelligence failure, however, as infiltrating such groups is the primary focus of counter-intelligence organizations. This is also a long-standing practice, which is why all modern terrorist groups use compartmentalization to ensure nobody knows the entire plan.
Blowback like this is the hidden story of the modern age. Every world and regional power has attempted it and been burned, multiple times over.
Heck, one could argue it’s exactly what happened in 1776, and the trend has never stopped!
If someone is born in Gaza and wants to leave, you think they should be denied simply because of where they come from?
Not sure if you know this, but every single Palestinian is actually not an active member in Hamas.
They are also an oppressed people with no other options.
This is standard policy for Israel, the same entity that pretends giving people a ‘warning’ before blowing up their home is a good enough excuse.
Why are you blaming Biden and not Congress?
But of course I wouldn’t do that, but they don’t know o they are thinking I will.
Because of the implications.
Is this based on actual statistics of any kind, or just your ass?
It’s not fair that they have degrees that don’t count for anything here.
Fair to whom? Are those degrees from institutions that are regarded as credible by the local country? If not, what evidence is there that the lack of value given to certain foreign degrees is improper or otherwise not based in reality?
The past happened, we can’t ignore it. Acknowledging that injustices happened in the past and we have the ability to do something now to try and reverse that is not “living in the past”.
Or help with fighting the climate change? Or helping developing nations to get to our level?
Arguably, both of these are exactly what we mean by “reparations”.
Any official acknowledgment of the rising threat from ring-wing domestic terrorism is good. The first step to solving a problem is identification!
Most sitcom actors run into that. I’m sure Jim Parsons won’t ever be seen as anyone else, or for an older example all of the cast of Seinfeld (arguably besides Julia).
