ivxferre is right, so I'll just state of a few examples:

Baito, which in fact comes from the German arbeit and means a part time job.

Apiiru, which comes from the English appeal but actually means to emphasize or play up something as a way of making yourself more attractive or making a point. For example, you can say "He looks like a good guy but that's all apiiru".

Cureemu, which is supposed to be the English claim but refers to complaints or having an issue with something in general.

So, about honorifics: Whether they'll actually correspond to keigo is a hit and miss depending on the actual relationship between the characters. This happens for a few reasons, but the most important one is that in Japanese using an honorific other than san or sama (or not using one at all) is a declaration of either a large difference in status, a close relationship or shonen protagonist syndrome. It's more complicated in real life, but this is how it usually goes in anime. So anyway, one common example is that highschooler characters will usually address each other with san even though they never use keigo.

About #4, where do you even see TN nowadays? I'm pretty sure I haven't seen one in years.

As another guy who finds life easier with CCs (suspected audio processing issues + not a native speaker): Holy fuck this sounds terrifying. Both in a "what the fuck are you idiots doing" sense and in because having your perception of reality (or "reality" in this case) distorted by dumbasses on a keyboard is actually a scary idea. What are they even thinking?

I legitimately have no clue what the state department is doing or thinks it's doing.

Pretty sure the state department actually objected to Biden's encouraging of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. It's just that Biden and Blinken are true believers here. It's not about US interests or geopolitics or any of that stuff; they just want to see a greater Israel from the river to the sea.

Okay, so what are these people recommending then? I’m trying to be generous, but they sound like fucking retards.

They're not recommending anything. I think that's the point.

I mean I'm not sure why you only value Israeli security in this arrangement, but presumably yes they would be. At least nobody would be launching rocket attacks.

/ It's not Israel that's the problem to these extremists, it's the jews.

Shut the fuck up. Seriously. These people have been suffering apartheid and slow-burn genocide, accelerating to full-blown genocide last year, and they're extremist who have a problem with Jews? Are you even listening to yourself?

Adding to what everyone else said, this is still a tentative deal. This is not the final form of the contract they'll sign.

Me neither but honestly widespread automation should come with a UBI system. Otherwise people will starve.

You're knowingly be disingenuous, but if not you should know that Israeli Palestinians are the exception in Israel's system of oppression. They're the number of Palestinians Israel found acceptable to be in their territory in 1948 when they were kicking everyone else out.

Honestly, I don't think justice for Palestinians is likely. As I see it, peace is inevitable but moderately far at the pace we're going, but justice would require a perceived violation of Israel's integrity that Palestinians will never have the bargaining power to demand. It'd be throwing a wrench into a peace process that will likely be reluctant and fragile already. Justice would be nice to have as an addon, but Palestinians will likely choose to take the fastest route towards human rights, which will be a two-state solution where Palestinians make some concessions but gain a state with real sovereignty. If something drastically changes justice might become possible, but in my thinking it'll be Palestinians, not Israelis, making concessions to make peace possible a la the Oslo Accords.
