It does sound like something that should have occurred decades ago.

Yes, when abortion is now illegal in so many states what's an honest fighter pilot going to do? /s

Can you not celebrate the first woman who happens to be pregnant??

The difference between Likud and the far-right has been minimized substantially over the years (during Bibi's leadership).

From Bibi's point of view, these people will let him do anything, including assuming dictatorial power.

And his voters are more extreme than he is, so most of them are happy with this far right government.

That’s so 1980’s, we need to see the first pregnant trans pilot of color!!!

What do you not understand? Racist likes racist

• An Air Force pilot has made history by becoming one of the first Air Force service members to fly a supersonic aircraft while pregnant.

• Maj Lauren Olme, assistant director of operations for the 77th Weapons Squadron at Dyess Air Force Base near Abilene, Texas, flew a B-1 Lancer, a supersonic bomber. Olme's child has also become "one of the first babies in the Department of Defense to clock 9.2 hours in a supersonic aircraft," according to an Air Force press release.

• "I can't overexpress how amazing it is that pregnant women now have the opportunity to fly in all types of aircraft," Lauren Olme said in a statement. "It's a very personal decision that [my husband] Mark and I made together because there are risks involved in flying the B-1 while pregnant but after conferring with Air Force and civilian medical doctors, we felt comfortable with me flying for a few weeks."

• The Air Force clarified its policy last year and removed some restrictions for pregnant Air Force members. Air Force members can now "voluntarily request to fly during pregnancy" and do not need a waiver "to fly in the second trimester with an uncomplicated pregnancy in a non-ejection seat aircraft if all flight safety criteria are met."

• "All pregnant aircrew are authorized to apply for a waiver regardless of trimester, aircraft or flight profile," the Air Force stated in an April 2022 news release.

• "These changes are a significant step in the right direction to empowering every member of our team to serve to their full potential," Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said in a statement at the time. "The Department of the Air Force’s most important asset is our people. We are focused on eliminating barriers that hamper the ability to attract and retain the most talented individuals who want to serve."

> I mean "it's their ancestorial homeland" doesn't much anything. A Kingdom of Israel existed in the 700s BC sure but plenty of other people of other ethnic backgrounds lived and settled in this area before during and after the period that was dominated by people of the Jewish faith. Why don't they have a claim to the area as well as their own ancestorial homeland?

This seems rather disingenuous since they were forced to leave.

> “The main thing that Israelis focus on is never again allowing ethnic Jews to be without a homeland or subject to extermination.” This kind of highlights the contradictions in the stated purpose and values of Israel. It's supposed to be a democratic state AND a Jewish state, but in order to make and preserve it as a Jewish state it's had to do some very undemocratic things. Not least of all was promoting immigration en masse to the British Mandate of Palestine before and after the Balfour Declaration. In essence an act of colonialism as the British never gave the people living there any say in the matter and the Jewish immigrants didn't care to ask either. These anti democratic actions were necessary to make the area majority Jewish.

More disingenuous statements. Balfour was in 1917, well before Israel gained independence. It also highlights how people love to claim, without any irony, how undemocratic Israel is while pointing to their alleged victims, who are not even close to being free, democratic states, and are also massively guilty of colonialism. Also, who has Israel colonized?

> And today of course you have the conquest and settlement of the Golan Heights and West Bank, which Israel clearly intents to annex.

What fucking conquest? Israel was attacked, gained control of those areas, which are strategically important for the security of the country, and offered them back in exchange for the simple concessions of accepting their existence.

> Whenever Israel has had to choose between it's Jewish identity and it's democratic identity it's always chosen the Jewish identity.

First of all, those things are not mutually exclusive. Second of all, when has that choice ever been made?

What is the problem with that sort of person, who goes right to false and vile accusations the very moment that they have any disagreement with anyone else? This seems to be a pattern of behavior that many others engage in, recently the comedic actor Jim Carrey had to warn accusers, that he would sue them for falsely claiming that he was on Jeffrey Epstein's island. They say the same lies about actor Tom Hanks. Maybe law enforcement needs to arrest and convict more of these guys who keep lying about everyone. They are often found to be guilty of the exact same crimes that they falsely accuse others of committing.

Wow. This article was kind of vague so I googled this woman and she is beyond terrible. Even worse than the headline indicates.

Is there an Israeli here who could summarize this weird new alliance between the Israeli right-wing and fascists the world over? It's very confusing to try to square Likud/Alt-right partnership. (End-of-days Evangelicalism doesn't explain it for me to be honest)

People vote for parties. He is elected by his party to attempt to form a coalition. The left/center parties said "hell no we are never working with you again", so to stay out of jail he went and told the "alt-right" that "I'll give you whatever you want if you let me tear apart the courts". And the constituents for the respective parties, for lack of a better term, have gone full MAGA.
