Watching a thing is definitely a hobby. Birds, trains, films, whales - hobbies aren't defined by you thinking they're worthwhile enough, they're defined by people doing them for enjoyment.

Watching a thing isn’t a hobby.

My dad has spent so much of his free time over his life birdwatching that I cannot grasp this statement as anything other than pedantry saying passive recreation can't count as hobbies. Maybe watching a thing isn't a hobby by the dictionary, but I think it's pretty clear what the word "hobby" is intended to mean here.

Consumption is my hobby. Content is my passion.

Netanyahu really got everything he wanted from the Assassins in 1995. It gave him power, and he used that power to destroy the peace movement in Israel and push for violence.

30 years ago there was a small hope that Israel could become peaceful with the shift of USA to being the sole world power, and the belief that McDonalds will conquer everything. That all changed for Israel with the assassination of Rabin by blood-and-soil type guys.. and then Benny from Philly was able to take control. Everything Israel is and does, is basically America in 2 years from now.
