I don't recall doing... but I do so love being bad. It's my nature.
Only thing I can think of is my understanding of Israel's war with Hamas, maybe?

I'm always joking, and I'm never not serious.
Although it's true; my greatest anxiety these days is Iran's progress towards nuclear armament, and the fact that neither U.S. presidential candidate is equipped to lead the country against such a threat. I express that discomfort in art and song, and am not sorry if it offends.

The notion that one does not possess any rights unless one is represented by a sovereign government is ludicrous.
Israel can be a Jewish-majority State, in which case, the West Bank Palestinians must be given freedom. Or it can incorporate Judaea/Samaria, in which case, the new Palestinian citizens will form a vast voting bloc.
Governments grant and enforce rights, though. That's what rights are. Some governments grant certain rights to non-citizens, but pretty much only when those people are inside that country.

We're gonna

Iran...
C'mon, y'all it's fun in the sand
Everyone should lend a hand
When we
Bomb
BOmb
BOMB
Iran
All the breaks will go to plan
All the bombs, because we can
Get some sun, get a tan
I'd rather that than see them fan
The flames of war in over-there-istan
It isn't fair, it's not our fight
But we're super and Israel's right
We cannot let them have The Bomb
And that's the moral of this song!
We're gonna
Bomb
BOmb
BOMB
Iran
Come now, Persians
Get your due
We can do this, we and you
It'll be just like a dance
Time to snap out of our trance and see that the only way through is to...
Bomb
BOmb
BOMB
Iran

Yeah, waddaya gonna do? Our dear, beloved, Zorral has a flair for sweepish commentary. I just mistook the focus of the post as Palestinians as a nationality, not ethnicity.

Oh, you!
You're not allowed to be cynical or snarky, even in jest. I count on you for unbridled empathy.

We already had this discussion didn't we?
I thought you were referring to Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank.
But anyway, and to this point:

There's a wild, wild, difference in having a government underperform in upholding individual rights and having no rights at all.

Supposedly every human on the planet should have civil, legal and human rights guaranteed, right? Right???
Supposedly. But who's to enforce such a standard.

Supposedly those who are Israeli citizens do, or should have, right?
Well, Israelis are citizens because they constitute a state right? It's the state that offers, guarantees, and enforces an individual's rights.
Is there an organization or entity that looks to guarantee, with enforcement, Palestinian rights or civil liberties?
The Palestinian Authority has no popular support, or enforcement power. And Hamas is not exactly a Civil Liberties kind of group.

Maybe if the Likuders etc. halted the theft of Palestinian lands, repression of their civil and legal rights, etc. Palestinians wouldn't have to die.
Do Palestinians have civil or legal rights?
One would think not, since they have no legitimate representing structure to guarantee them.

Caffeinated coffee is a drug...
Listen, Pot Head. Coffee had hundreds of years to be integrated productively into our societies. There's norms, customs and accepted uses of coffee.
Meanwhile, since 2012 weed suddenly became a very casual thing. Not all folks come equipped to have ready access to drugs.

Oddly enough... I'm with Zorral on this one.
Weed is great. I fucking love weed. Buuuuut... It is a drug.
Mistakes were made on our road to debauch.

So there's this cartoon on Prime Video called Hazbin Hotel.
I firmly recommend.
It's about the princess of hell, Lucifer's daughter. She's started a hotel where she attempts to rehabilitate sinners and get them into heaven, to help with hell's overcrowding problem.
It's just delightful! It's like a Disney cartoon, lots of singing and looking for the good in people... But in hell.
The concept alone, bravo I say. And the execution is delightful. Y'all should check it out.

He can do whatever he wants, as far as I'm concerned. If you're telling me we get some kind of smug Muad'Dib mooning after an enraged rebel Chani then I'm in.

I think you could do an opening montage of the jihad, narrated by Chani, that ends with Paul and she reconciling. That would be a good way to show the passage of time, at first Paul is leading alone but he returns to Arrakis for her.
Then they're back together for the events of Messiah. You could even have Paul be one of many Fremen returning disaffected from the jihad at the end of Chani's narration.
"What would I do, when I see him again?" She might ask the audience.
And when he steps foot back on Arrakis you see them embrace.
- Then we're back on track for the events of Messiah and the God Emperor's Golden Path.

Not Vietnam and the 1960's, here is what latterly the US wars have accomplished -- only evil for the people we tried to use as justification for aerial warfare and killing them.
The Open-Air Prison for ISIS Supporters—and Victims
Since the Islamic State fell, tens of thousands of people—many of them children—have been herded into Al-Hol, a giant fenced-in camp in Syria, and effectively given life sentences.

You know how we know it isn't the 1960's in the USA? The registered Republican voters are all in with the USA having dictators and loving Russia, and among the USA registered Dem voters, Israel is viewed as the Bad Guy. So by all means continue educating me in the historical changes from the Vietnam era as to just why eradicating massive numbers of innocent people from the air win hearts and minds and wars, and so why we must drop nuclear bombs into the bargain.
Huh?
ISIS is destroyed. Their ability to threaten U.S. interests is destroyed. All from the air, and not even with a fraction of what we're capable of... I didn't say you were gonna win hearts and minds. I said you could cap the enemy's capacity to wage offensive war entirely from the sky. Which is what happened with ISIS.
You don't need nukes for that.

7 at best and one year he was hurt in that span. He never got many sacks, didn't force or recover that many fumbles and outside of one year didn't get many picks per season. He just got a lot of tackles.
But he was a leader of men! A heartstone from which his teammates drew strength and found purpose. His effect on the field made him great, his effect on the soul makes him legendary...

20 years ago I was ten... And that probably would have been a better time to handle this problem, really. But thanks to Bush we wasted our Regime Change card on Iraq instead.
The world could end in thirty minutes due to the actions of nine political actors. As is, the nine have played rationally with their apocalypse machines. But what cannot come to pass is a theocratic regime, that expects to kill billions of heretics and non-believers as a precondition to paradise, becoming nuclear armed. No, no go. Can't be allowed.
And to be fair to Iran, my personal position is that no more players are welcome at the nuclear table.
No nuclear armed Egypt, or Sweeden, or Japan, or anybody. If you try to attain nuclear weapons it should be policy that America will come and break all your shit real bad.
Two nuclear powers is too many. Nine is insane. Ten is unthinkable.
