You might want to bow to the master Norm MacDonald on this one...

That would work, except for one tiny flaw in that pesky piece of paper they call the Constitution.... presidents have to be natural born citizens.

Frankly, UNRWA just needs to go a way. They have been an impediment in Gaza and indeed all Palestinian areas. The material they teach children is shocking- no wonder they support Hamas 75%. Not to mention that 80 years as refugees is enough. Time for a programme of de-Hamasification, followed by aid to build up Gaza that does not get stolen by terrorists or fat cat supporters living in luxury overseas.

I heard it more like, "the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's ass and made a brown stain on the mattress. I am partial to, "someone should pull a cvnt over your head and fvck some sense into you!"

Not a fan of the Ram these days. He comes across all smarmy, like the kid in class who would always ask the teacher, "did you forget to give us homework?" at the end of class. My dream would be Nikki Haley for Pres, plus Kristi Noem for VP. Or possibly Tim Scott, although he seems almost too nice a guy for bare knuckle politics.

If you want evidence from an 'unbiased source' about Hamas' tunnels, how about Al Jazeera; Some of these are serviced with oxygen tanks, water pipes and electricity lights. An exclusive video from Al Jazeera Arabic from 2021 shows concrete-reinforced corridors leading to an underground office with a functioning phone line and rooms storing weapons. The system is believed to have a periphery, with shallower tunnels easier to destroy from the surface, and a core which is where the commando centres, weapons storages, missiles and, more recently, some of the about 240 Israeli captives taken by Hamas, are believed to be. Tunnels allow fighters to conduct surprise attacks and to move quickly across the strip without Israeli eyes being able to trace them. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/13/very-risky-israel-faces-months-long-campaign-against-hamas-gaza-tunnels

Would CNN do?

I get it. It was OK for Hamas to torture and murder babies, as long as they didn't behead them. Gotcha. Beheading was only for adults. Like the Thai farm worker who was beheaded while still alive. Or the German girl, Shani Louk- they waited until she was dead before they beheaded her. Obviously Hamas has standards.

Whenever Hamas releases the so-called casualty figures, the media should use the phrase "without evidence" every time. This is the group that claimed 500 deaths in an Israeli hospital bombing that turned into 50 deaths in a failed terrorist missile crash. To say "take their numbers with a grain of salt" is altogether too credulous.

...and so it begins. Any weapons found are safety checked and unloaded before journalists are allowed inside. That is standard procedure. As is putting them in the open for all to see. Much like how the Thai police proudly display seized drugs and various illegal goods on a table before the media's cameras.

The obvious answer is that this problem could end tomorrow. The Hamas cowards who are burrowed under the hospital could surrender, thus saving all the civilians trapped there. But of course they won't. They prefer to use meat shields to save themselves. At least those who aren't already in Qatar, living the good life at the Sheraton.

Chances are the large media organizations didn't know the score. BUT... the 'freelance journalists' they were using did seem to have unusually good access to Hamas. To the point of riding on a motorbike with them to the scene of the slaughter. Or perhaps you can believe that they were just very lucky to be 'on the spot' at the right place at the right time. The problem comes if the journalists knew the attacks were imminent, but did nothing. Did not inform anyone that a slaughter was planned. At very least, that would put their credibility in question, if not their humanity.

Area a bit south near the Russian Market is interesting. Also, if you can handle it, a visit to the school/prison from the Khmer Rouge days and the killing fields seems like a necessary thing to do. Loved Siem Reap. But you need to be into history. There are very very cool temples outside the city, you need to book a private car to go. Koh Ker and Beng Melea can easily be done in a day. Beng Melea still has some land mines around though- the touristy area is limited. When we went, a young police captain volunteered to give us a "back country" tour of the temple, around the ruins and through the interior. It was fascinating, his English was good, and it was a side that others don't get to see. He was genuinely surprised that I gave him a $20 tip for his troubles, but it was well worth it. Stayed at the Royal Crown Hotel, about 35 bucks including buffet breakfast. 5 minutes' walk to pub street, laundry across the road (a dollar a kilo), and a small supermarket with 65 cent cans of beer a block away. You can rent a motor bike these days too in Cambodia, about 10 dollars a day. Great way to see the Ankor complex and the countryside.

Which 'occupant' would that me? The place was a patchwork of Muslim, Jew, and Christian. Obvious good solution was to give them separate countries. Much like Pakistan and India but without the chaos (hopefully). The refugee problem was created when the Arab League chose to invade Israel instead of accepting the UN partition plan. Simply put, they wanted ALL the land and wanted the Jews to die.

Gotta say, Jenin "refugee camp" is doing pretty well- there is a KFC in it!

Yeah, just casual day tourists. Maybe curious to see a real dead Jew in the flesh, perhaps steal a few things, maybe desecrate a corpse or two. You know, innocent civilians that need protecting.

Found a fascinating article from Honest Reporting. The photos in it show very clearly that none of the Hamas cowards were wearing any kind of discernable uniform when they were committing their crimes. So, given that, how exactly is Israel to separate the Hamas from the innocent civilians? The terrorists revel in blending in with their own people, happy to make martyrs out of the unwilling. https://honestreporting.com/photographers-without-borders-ap-reuters-pictures-of-hamas-atrocities-raise-ethical-questions/ Here they are breaking in to the Kibbutz Kfar Aza, the scene of some of the more horrific atrocities from October 7:

Something at least we all can agree on. Maybe, God forbid, even putting aside the petty squabbles we get so wrapped up in here. We get to fight with keyboards, not rifles, thanks to them.

Uh, yeah. I know. I have two surviving veterans in my family (brother and cousin).

A moving poem and tribute, written by one of my fellow countrymen, John McCrae. Sadly didn't survive the War himself either. So, let the protesters come. And let the veterans and those who support them show how men take care of business. I could see this being a tipping point, if any Remembrance Day ceremonies are disrupted there might well be a price to pay.

You may be right about Hamas, if that was their ultimate goal it may well succeed. Sadly, it shows how fragile any form of peace or co-existence really was in the area. All it took was one shove and all came tumbling down like a house of cards.

They probably believe that anyone working for a Jew is even worse than the Jew. That the worker has so debased themself that they are beneath contempt and deserve whatever happens.

Non combatants by the very name NON combatants dont get involved in fighting. They hunker down or escape, and curse the cowards (in this case, Hamas) who got them into the mess. Any who DO get involved, especially if not in uniform or in a recognized fighting force, are considered illegal combatants and may be subject to summary execution.

There would be a ceasefire in an instant if; Hamas surrendered All hostages were released The terrorist infrastructure under Gaza was destroyed.

The slaughter is 100% at the feet of Hamas. IF Israel wanted to slaughter, they would have been bombing indiscriminately since October 8. And Gaza would be flat.
