How essential a component of modern Zionism do you think is the belief that the Jewish people collectively have some kind of justified, legitimate historical claim on Eretz Yisrael? I know that in the early days of Zionism, some proponents considered other locations for a Jewish homeland, but I have the impression (correct me if I’m wrong) that this proposition is widely considered very reasonable in Israel, whereas I think it’s ridiculous.

Other than a funny anecdote that Hertzel once considered Uganda (which morphed into a meme of sorts called “why not uganda”, which you can use whenever you complain about something going bad here), nothing remained of those proponents.

Zionism in Israel is the idea of a Jewish nation in Israel. When the Labor party rebranded as an all inclusive party of the Jewish left-wing it called itself “The Zionist camp”, which also sound like the worst summer camp ever.

No movement is completely homogeneous, but the prevailing view of Zionism is that of the Second Aaliyah, that became the “elite” of the early Israel country.

Looks there about ~250 with active bulletins, lot of them IV/injectable. Not sure if Teva makes those or not. I imagine the biggest teva ones that would be noticed by general population mostly ADHD stimulants and other psychiatric medications

Thanks. A quick look through those suggest that many of those shortages are a bit more nuanced.

I.e. it’s a specific solution and syringe type, etc.

While Teva clearly do important work, and tbh, the spread of generics is one of the best things to happen to humanity, I think the very fact they operate in generics which by their very nature are pretty commoditized will reduce impact.

AMONG THE MOST prominent themes of the discussion were getting the FBI more involved in investigating American college campuses, and fears of outside agitators stoking the anti-war protests. New York University Chair Emeritus and Executive Vice Chair Bill Berkley, whose campus this week welcomed police to arrest over a dozen students, claimed that a New York City-based Palestine solidarity group had been very involved in leading protest efforts in the city and suggested that the feds should investigate.

Might I suggest the FBI create a program to counter these protests using intelligence.

Abolish the fbi.

Yeah it’s not like they have 20 drugs on patent that would suddenly be completely unavailable by any other means. I think they have less than 5 like that.

But even the generic ones would cause problems for longer than we would expect. The profit margin on generics is so small even currently there are already frequently shortages requiring patients switching meds/etc due to minor manufacturing setbacks let alone one the biggest players just being completely unavailable.

Reduce sure, but we’ve been struggling with various generic drugs and supplies since 2020, but things are better this year. It’s a more fragile ecosystem than you would think

This is one of those “could go in about six different threads” things

So students protesting to stop genocide are being anti-semetic, but NYC chief of patrol posting anti-semetic “jews control everything” talking points on twitter is a-ok?

Makes perfect senss. Great job, media.
