  1. Tragic. All used as meat shields by Hamas cowards. Big difference in morality. At the music festival, Israeli police put themselves between Hamas and the innocent. In Gaza, Hamas puts the innocent between themselves and the IDF.
  2. I seem to recall a border on the west side with another country though... ...and Gaza also manages to have one of the highest fertility rates in the world, a continually growing population (more than half a million in the past decade), and continuously increasing life expectancy. Pretty crap blockade.
  3. Define "occupation" and "Palestine". Because Israel hasn't occupied Gaza for a long time. These are not people seeking a political settlement to a problem. They have been raised from birth on poisonous propaganda, taught that their enemy (Jews) are less than human, and get paid when their children die in suicide attacks. How do you negotiate with someone whose default position is "you and everyone like you has to die"?
  4. Exactly. Instead, Hamas prefers to shelter in hospitals and schools and mosques. Places where collateral civilian casualties are virtually guaranteed. Then they can cry and mewl about the evil IDF. Ah yes, the evil IDF. WHen is the last time they entered Gaza to murder hundreds of peaceful young people attending a cultural event? Or kidnapped and raped countless women in Gaza?
  5. Not to mention the well known but rarely reported Hamas tactic of setting up shop in schools/ hospitals/ mosques. Something the IDF does not do. Nor does the IDF deliberately rape and murder and kidnap foreign nationals who have the misfortune to be caught in the crossfire.
  6. Trying to be original; 1. Apocalypse Now 2. Full Metal Jacket 3. Lawrence of Arabia Honorable mention to The Godfather 1 and 2, but both have been mentioned repeatedly.
  7. This is the key point. You cannot have a negotiated settlement or a "two state solution" when one of the states involved is only interested in the complete destruction of the other. At best it will be a way to delay the inevitable problem. If Gazans are serious about wanting peace, they would kick out all the Hamas terrorists and terror supporters in their midst. Refuse to be used as human shields and props for Hamas propaganda.
  8. There are also photos of dead female victims from the music festival who somehow lost all their clothing before they died....
  9. Except, of course, for the 20th century. Most muslim countries in the region forced out their Jewish citizens, who as you say had been there for centuries. Nearly one million Jews were expelled from countries from Morocco to Iran. North Africa used to be home to half a million Jews. Today, less than 3,000. There used to be 75,000 Jews in Egypt. Today? Perhaps a hundred.
  10. THIS is exactly correct. In the aftermath of the Israeli war of independence in 1948, the myriad Muslim/Arab countries in the area could have done the right thing and taken in their Palestinian brothers/sisters. Given them citizenship rights, allowed them to rebuild their lives. But that did not happen. Instead they were kept in camps and fed constant false promises of some day being able to return to an Israel empty of Jews. A lot of blame to be had there.
  11. Maybe he means like when FIVE Arab countries decided to attack Israel in 1948, after the state was declared by the UN. This is actually the root cause of the Palestinian refugee crisis today. Prior to the attack, Palestinians living in Jewish areas were encouraged to leave, so as to make it easier for the armies of the five attackers to kill all the Jews. Any Arabs that stayed behind would be presumed to be collaborators. So, the Palestinians fled thinking it was a temporary state of affairs until their allies wiped out the Jews. Then, they (the Palestinians) could move back in and reap the rewards. Things turned out differently though.
  12. I wasnt aware that Israel had invaded Gaza. A big help in ending this conflict would be if the Arab/Muslim "brothers" of the Palestinians actually did anything to help them. Seems rather that the Gazans are being used by other, cynical players in the region. Given the current death toll, it is the equivalent on American terms of having more than 20,000 dead. This will get ugly.
  13. Why does the EU have to plan for the refugees? There is plenty of space and money in the surrounding Muslim countries to take them in easily. Egypt the UAE, etc. Not a European problem in the slightest. Hell, they can go live in Iran with their buddies.
  14. Actually, it is called suicide. FAFO. Goodbye Gaza. If you are going to kick a tiger in the ass, you had better have a REAL good plan for dealing with its teeth.
  15. No, he didn't. He said, "not ONE MORE FOOT of wall" in the campaign. Even said it last week, "walls don't work". But he HAS to spend the money..... tell me, what would happen if Joe refused to suspend 26 laws and refused to spend the money on wall construction? What is the penalty for that?
  16. Not true. In many places, Biden was closing gaps and extending the sections built under Trump. But that isn't important. The President didn't say, "not one more foot of Trump's wall". He said "There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration, Not 1," https://www.npr.org/2020/08/05/899266045/biden-would-end-border-wall-construction-but-wont-tear-down-trump-s-additions Joe lied.
  17. Thousands of people rioting in numerous cities does not speak to a "peaceful transfer of power". Particularly when it happened both after the election and on Inauguration Day.
  18. "Largely peaceful" in the context of only a few buildings were burnt down, and only a few milion dollars in damage. Over the course of the evening, “anarchists” in the crowd threw objects at officers, vandalized local businesses and damaged cars, Portland Police Sgt. Pete Simpson said.Police publicly declared a “riot” due to “extensive criminal and dangerous behavior” https://edition.cnn.com/2016/11/11/us/oregon-protest-riot/index.html
  19. Not at all. You can quite clearly see the mother in the video keeping a VERY close eye on Joe, then giving him the "F off" pat on the shoulder, while carefully manoeuvering her child out of his reach. He has no personal boundaries. Either sniffing/touching women, or commenting on men's biceps. Very inappropriate.
  20. Nope, just stormed most major cities in the country. Thousands out rioting in places like Oakland, NYC, Portland, etc.
  21. You poor bastards. How in the world do you let your government rape you like this?
  22. Sure, just like in 2016.... oh, wait.... https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/10/us/trump-election-protests.html
  23. So, "not ONE MORE FOOT of wall", really means "25 miles of wall if we need it". OK. Be honest. This issue is starting to sting the Democrats. Most Americans think Trump would do a better job on immigration than Biden. So he is copying Trump's policy. Nothing wrong with that- just compare the numbers under the two and the results are clear.
  24. So, a wall is not the answer. WHich is why Mayorkas said that a wall was needed. Got it. And why Congress did nothing for 2 years to divert the funding. Sure.
