Somehow I don't like Star Wars Stormtroopers in company communications, even as funny imagery.

I kind of would like not to be thought of as a fascist soldier, thank you.

I also remember one consulting corporate slide template with chess imagery. The first question was 'are we consultants the pawns, to be sacrificed when necessary?'

That question didn't get a proper answer.

#US Amb to #Russia Lynne Tracy said…that Evan’s detention is “not about #evidence, #DueProcess, or rule of #law” but about “using American citizens as #pawns to achieve political ends.” The amb may be granting #Putin & his circle too much credit…. #EvanGershkovich is not being held by an ideological superpower playing some great game of chess…. He is being held by #gangsters who consider #hostage-taking normal business practice.

The Atlantic · Evan Gershkovich’s Year in CaptivityBy Tom Nichols

Benzi Sanders, a former IDF soldier, explained on #Channel4News that Hamas is useful to Israel because its violent means and ways delegitimises the creation of the #Palestinian state.

It was odd that Hamas so very easily broke out of #Gaza and massacred a poorly protected collection of Israeli citizens.

Perhaps that was Bibi s intention?

You done this. SO WE WILL DO THAT
