  1. That's the key point. The military actions ordered by Netanyahu and Gallant were in defense of Israel and its citizens; the Hamas attack on Oct. 7 was pure terrorism. The civilian casualties Gaza suffered were almost entirely the result of Hamas' policy of using Gazans as human shields. There's zero moral equivalence between the actions of the state of Israel and a terrorist group sworn to destroy it. The Allies deliberately bombed civilians during WWII; think Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne and many other German cities as well as the U.S. firebombing Tokyo and dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hundreds of thousands of women, chikdren and the elderly were killed in these Allied aerial attacks. Churchill and Rooseveldt, as well as the heads of the British and U.S. air forces, are regarded as national heros. The civilian deaths in the strategic bombing of Germany and Japan was seen as a tragic but anavoidable consequence of winning the war. Eighty years later, Netanyahu has a warrant issued on suspicion of war crimes against Gazans for ordering the same type of areial bombing against Hamas. Can someone explain why it was not a war crime for the UK and U.S. to bomb German and Japanese civilians but is a war crime for Israel to bomb Gazans?
  2. I have a feeling he won't be able to answer your questions or mine. Let's see if "reverse psychology" works.
  3. Why are you calling him deranged? Hamas has been declared a terrorist group by the U.S., the U.K., the European Union, the 35-member Organization of American States, Canada, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and others. Twenty-six countries or regional groups list Hezbollah as a terrorist group, although some only regard the military wing as terrorist. Are the government officials of those countries deranged as well? Hezbollah and hamas have openly called for the destruction of the state of Israel in their maanifestos as well as public statements and inerviews with the goups' leaders. What exactly in your opinion did @Nick Carter icp get wrong for you to call him deranged?
  4. The development of the full English breakfast as we think of it today is an interesting chapter in food history. Like so many food trends, the concept of a big morning meal originated with English royalty, was copied by lesser nobles and the landed gentry, then spread to the (economic) upper class and on to the middle and working classes. But it didn't happen overnight; it took about 600 years for the full English breakfast to take the form we recognize today. As breakfast slid down the social scale and into the bellies of the broad masses, it became a much simpler and smaller meal. Bacon (and/or sausages) and eggs emerged as the focal point of the full English in the early 1900s, mainly for practical reasons of concern to hotel and restaurant kitchens as well as home cooks. Bacon and eggs were cheap to buy and easy and quick to fry. Almost all the components of the full English are fried, the one outlier being tinned beans. According to the English Breakfast Society (https://englishbreakfastsociety.com/english-breakfast-recipe.html}, the ingredients in a full English breakfast for two should be: 4 Pork Sausages 6 Strips Of Back Bacon 4 Eggs 1 Tomato 2 Cups Of Mushrooms 1 Can Of Baked Beans 200g Of Black Pudding Tea or Coffee Fresh Orange Juice 6 Pieces Of Sliced Bread (two of which are fried, the others are toasted) Selection Of Newspapers Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes Yield: Breakfast For Two NUTRITION FACTS: 750 calories and 55 grams of fat per serving. The Web site also maintained beans should NOT be served on the same plate as the other components and gave this photo to illustrate. I added the yellow arrow).
  5. Yes, it certainly does. There had never been an independent kingdom, nation or state called Palestine before the PLO declared the creation of the State of Palestine in 1988. Arabs living in Mandatory Palestine had been offered a state under the 1947 U.N. partition plan, but the Arab League rejected the plan. What Israel took over on May 14, 1948, was the territory allotted to the Jewish state under the United Nation's partition plan for Mandatory Palestine, which at that time was under British control. Before the U.K. received the Mandate for Palestine from the League of Nations, the Ottoman Empire had ruled the region we today call historical Palestine since 1516 CE. Prior to the Turks, the rulers had been the Mamluk Sultanate; Ayyubid Dynasty; European Crusaders; Fatimid Caliphate; Mongol Empire; Abbasid Caliphate; Umayyad Caliphate; Rashidun Caliphate; Byzantine Empire; Roman Empire; Seleucid Empire; Ptolemaic Kingdom; Achaemenid (Persian) Empire; Babylonian Empire and Assyrian Empire. You have to go back to Biblical times and the Iron Age to find centuries in which people who were actually born in historical Palestine ruled the region. That would be the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah. . "After Roman times the name [Palestine] had no official status until after World War I and the end of rule by the Ottoman Empire, when it was adopted for one of the regions mandated to Great Britain." https://www.britannica.com/place/Palestine https://x.com/BryanLeibFL/status/1712594390445617178
  6. The police investigate and if they believe a violation of the law in terms of incitement to action has occurred, they will pass the evidence on to a prosecutor, who will determine if it warrants prosecution. The prosecutor presents the case to a judge or judge and jury, which will decide if the defendant is guilty.
