    Microsoft outlined this change in policy months ago -- before the Gaza war even broke out. Now it is being implemented on Instagram and Threads.

    You can see the posts on Threads by Adam Mosseri (head of Instagram and Threads at Microsoft) over the past months outlining this policy to not recommend political posts on either platform. Now it is finally being put in place.

    This change in policy will reduce election interference by bots by eliminating the promotion of these posts. You will need to follow a political commentator to see their posts. From my perspective this change of policy is a net win.

    What does Microsoft have to do with anything? And yes, thanks for reminding us that Gaza is a months' old conflict now.

    Israel has long been the leading recipient of U.S. foreign aid, including military support. That aid has come under heightened scrutiny amid Israel’s war to eliminate Hamas.

    The United States was the first country to recognize the provisional government of the state of Israel upon its founding in 1948, and it has for many decades been a strong and steady supporter of the Jewish state. Israel has received hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. foreign aid in the post–World War II era, a level of support that reflects many factors, including a U.S. commitment to Israel’s security and the countries’ shared foreign policy interests in a volatile and strategically important part of the world.

    The two countries do not have a mutual defense pact, as the United States has with allies such as Japan and fellow members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). However, Israel is among a short list of “major non-NATO allies” and has privileged access to the most advanced U.S. military platforms and technologies.

    About half of Americans hold favorable views of Israel, according to recent polls. But ongoing U.S. military aid to Israel has come under greater scrutiny amid Israel’s war with Hamas, spurred by the Palestinian militant group’s October 7 terrorist attack that killed more than 1,200 Israelis, the deadliest such attack in the country’s history. Some U.S. lawmakers and foreign leaders, the United Nations, human rights and activist groups, and other parties have voiced growing concern about the scale of Israel’s war to eliminate Hamas. They have been especially critical of its heavy bombing of the Gaza Strip, which has reportedly killed more than twenty-five thousand Palestinians—mostly civilians.

    How much U.S. aid does Israel receive?
    Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding, receiving about $300 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.The United States has also provided large foreign aid packages to other Middle Eastern countries, particularly Egypt and Iraq, but Israel stands apart.

    Israel tells US to fuck off when it wants at its own pleasure.
