Yet without the acquiescence of his friend in the White House, President Donald Trump, and the virtual silence of his centrist rivals on the territorial issue, Netanyahu would not be upping the ante in this way—after declining to make such plans during his 13 years in power. from CNN
But whether it was Menachem Begin's landmark peace agreement with Egypt in 1979 or Israel's acquiescence to allow limited Palestinian self-government during the 1993 Oslo Accords, what has consistently led to success, Thrall shows, is the willingness of outside parties (primarily the US and Arab states) to apply pressure. from Vice
Most of all, if we really want to remake our world, let's choose radical, inclusive love and never abuse the sacred responsibility of providing life-saving food, education and economic empowerment by dangling them in exchange for attendance at religious meetings, acceptance of religious literature or acquiescence to prayers and presentations. from CNN
Encouraged by the jingoistic state-run media, Russian society seems to applaud war policies that would subject a Western leader to fierce inquiries or removal from office by a disapproving electorate (the British prime minister Tony Blair's fate after his acquiescence in the American-led Iraq war is one example). from The New York Times
Earlier this year, when he called for Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other new members of Congress to "stop acting like young people," it felt exactly like something an older white guy on a Sorkin TV show would say to a young woman upstart, to be met with her flustered acquiescence. from Vox

Instead of drawing attention to important women's issues, like the enhanced risk of gender-based violence unique to female refugees in Germany, Uddenburg's sculptures merely objectify the ways in which women are all too often portrayed, leaving nothing to the imagination other than some thinly veiled trope of superficial acquiescence to gender theory. from Hyperallergic
They point to the stark economic contrasts in the two eras: industrialization, rising working-class wages, and violent class conflict in the first Gilded Age; de-industrialization, falling working-class wages, and what Fraser calls "acquiescence" to exploitation — including modern phenomenons like mass stock ownership, the gig economy, mass indebtedness, and more — today. from Vox
In fact, just today Facebook bought Redkix to enhance its offering by giving users the ability to collaborate via email or the Workplace by Facebook interface, but Atlassian's acquiescence is a strong signal that if you had any doubt, Slack is a leader here — and they got a big boost with today's announcement. from TechCrunch

The Al Sauds have survived by making three compacts: with the Wahhabis to burnish their Islamic credentials as the custodians of the holy places of Mecca and Medina; with the population by providing munificence in exchange for acquiescence to absolutist rule; and with America to defend Saudi Arabia in exchange for stability in oil markets. from Economist
In few other countries does a constitution play such a central, and often contentious, role in public life: that passionate attachment protects its checks and balances, and the erosion of long-held rights, more effectively than anything else - since laws and constitutions are everywhere only as strong as public support, or at least acquiescence. from Reuters
Rejecting London's efforts to negotiate Egyptian acquiescence, Zaghlul wrote to Secretary Balfour that the new "spirit of the age" demanded that "every people shall have the right to self-determination," revealing a conviction that, despite Wilson's betrayal, a radical transformation had nevertheless come about in world affairs and it rendered obsolete old justifications for colonialism. from The New York Times
What makes it possible for someone like Trump to attain power and hold it is the acquiescence of people, both voters and politicians, who aren't white supremacists, who sort-of kind-of believe in the rule of law, but are willing to go along with racists and lawbreakers if it seems to serve their interests. from The New York Times
A moderate conservative would have the best chance of getting confirmed by the GOP given the current makeup of the Senate, but would also represent a bit of a acquiescence by Obama given the possibility of Democratic gains in the Senate this November and the currently very muddy waters of the fight for the Republican presidential nomination. from Vox
Mr. Netanyahu has had rocky relations with liberal American Jews, partly over what they see as his lack of interest in resuming peace talks with the Palestinians, but even more over his acquiescence to Israel's ultra-Orthodox rabbis on contentious debates with Reform and Conservative leaders involving conversions to Judaism and prayer at the Western Wall. from The New York Times
I couldn't get close to my own story until I was in my late 30s, a father, no longer a Hemingway fan, a seasoned sportswriter who understood that while most jocks considered us nonjocks not much better than girls, they themselves could be less than manly in their acquiescence to their bullies — coaches, owners and superstars. from The New York Times
Paul Julian (a veteran of the Looney Tunes background team) and Les Goldman (who shared an Oscar with Chuck Jones in 1966 for "The Dot and the Line") employ creepily angular imagery to illustrate Maurice Ogden's poem "The Hangman," a rhyming allegory about a town's acquiescence to an executioner who keeps demanding victims for his gallows. from The New York Times
But the dramatic shift in tone and policy, toward bilateral talks between the two Koreas, suggests that Mr. Kim sees an opportunity to develop and accentuate the split between Mr. Moon and Mr. Trump, betting that the United States will be unable to mount greater pressure on the North if it does not have South Korean acquiescence. from The New York Times
Bouchard peaked on social media Sunday night when she agreed on Twitter to go on a date with a random fan who bet her that the Patriots would come back to beat the Falcons in Super Bowl LI.

Unlike the United States (which already has multiple military bases in the Arctic, including one at Thule in Greenland, and so has a well-established presence there), Pompeo claimed that Beijing is surreptitiously using such supposedly economic activities for military purposes, including, heinously enough, spying on US ballistic missile submarines operating in the region, while intimidating its local partners into acquiescence. from Business Insider

So, in a week during which we should be celebrating a young man's achievements, we instead have to return, yet again, to point out the nonsense begotten by a devil's compromise between the players' union and ownership—a system that has achieved the union's acquiescence by directing the vast majority of salary dollars to powerful big-league vets, who in return limit the earning power of young players like Snell. from Vice

But back to Marine Le Pen, the presidential candidate much-maligned by the left: daring to say "no" to the argument that France, today, as a whole and without exception, should branded an accomplice to the murder of thousands of Jews — that the shifting acquiescence of a murky alliance of psychopaths, cowards, the morally-indifferent, the politically opportunistic, the absolutely terrified and the deeply confused, all operating under the occupation of one of history's most savage regimes — translates into a wholesale moral failure on the part of the entire nation, is a bold and honest move. from The Hill

Hawthorne Heights' infamous lyric "Cut my wrists and black my eyes / So I can fall asleep tonight or die" from 2004's "Ohio Is For Lovers" has become one of emo's most immediate reference points, and "Play Russian roulette as we kiss / I'll be your cheap novelty / Blow your brains out on me" from Senses Fail's "Choke On This" and "Take this razor, sign your name across my wrists / So everyone will know who left me like this" from Bayside's "Synonym For Acquiescence" didn't do much to dampen a reputation that twinned death and romance in a way that reduced emo en masse to a vision of heartbroken dudes crying in Taco Bell. from Vice
