Should Hamas's Bloody Bet be Rewarded by the World?
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in World News
If Israel had responded differently maybe the world's reaction would be different too. Wholesale destruction in Gaza hasn't helped. And just look at what is going on in the West Bank. -

More nonsense from you. The point of her comment (subsequently apologized for) was that Jews were singled out in a way that was innocuous. -

Really? Politicians single out gingers? What imaginary constituency do you inhabit? -

What does a a particular instance of alleged fraud have to do with your assertion that Americans aren't allowed to own homes in Mexico? You've got nothing. -

Actually, there is now a vaccine against HPV, the virus that causes cervical cancer. It has already helped to slash cervical cancer rates. Children aged 11-12 should be vaccinated with it. -

It does bring to mind that questioned once posed by Groucho Marx: "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?" Does this mean Trump is a Marxist? Oh no.... -

Here's a link that legitimately bypasses the firewall so they can't claim the Rolling Stone article wasn't accessible. https://archive.ph/GAdZv -

I, for one, think he should be impeached and have the title of Official First Son stripped from him. -

What makes you think Americans can't buy homes and property in Mexico? Can North Americans Own Property in Mexico? Foreigners can own property in Mexico. It’s perfectly legal. Outside the restricted zones—50 kilometers (about 31 miles) from shorelines and 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) from international borders—foreigners can hold direct deed to property with the same rights and responsibilities as Mexican nationals. And inside the restricted zones, foreigners can control land through fideicomisos (bank trust agreements) again with the same rights and responsibilities as Mexican nationals. https://internationalliving.com/countries/mexico/mexico-real-estate/ -

Not necessarily. Looks like you need to brush up on evolutionary theory. Kin selection Kin selection is a process whereby natural selection favours a trait due to its positive effects on the reproductive success of an organism's relatives, even when at a cost to the organism's own survival and reproduction.[1] Kin selection can lead to the evolution of altruistic behaviour. It is related to inclusive fitness, which combines the number of offspring produced with the number an individual can ensure the production of by supporting others (weighted by the relatedness between individuals). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kin_selection -
"Initially, the Laax was listed as traveling to Bandar Khomeini in Iran, but after the attack, the final destination was changed to Fujairah, a port in the United Arab Emirates. The French naval forces, based in the UAE, agreed that the cargo ship was probably bound for Iran." Was it really bound for Iran? Or was the original listed destination just a ruse? Why did it end up in the UAE.? Maybe there's a good reason for that like continuing to Iran was too dangerous or maybe not.

Your concern for facts is quite selective. What makes a Japanese politician an authority on virology and epidemiology? Why should anyone care about his claims? -

So why aren't left handed people and gingers also singled out? After all, they too are not normal. Give your nonsense a rest already. -
Amnesia much? Not so long ago right wingers were frothing about Joe Biden sharing in the alleged ill-gotten gains he received for helping Hunter Biden quash the Burisma investigation. The only thing missing was actual evidence of him receiving those gains. Don't seem to hear much about that anymore. Hmmmmm....

In fact, it is the prevalent sentiment among voters now. It's called Bregret. I kind of doubt that Farag's reputation sparkles with the same cachet it once did among those once and future red wall voters. His promises and predictions are broken. This is his last hurrah. All he can do now is take the Tories down with him.

Foreign Volunteer Doctor Reveals Hamas Exploits Hospitals
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
Unfortunately, the good doctor's assessment of the low level of support for Hamas, contradicts what polling information there is: "A March 2024 opinion poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research showed support for Hamas among Gazans topping 50 percent, a 14-point rise since December 2023." https://www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/how-hamas-ends-gaza It should also be noted that the Kurds and the Israelis have very warm relations stemming from Israel's support for the Kurds in their struggle to create an independent Kurdistan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel–Kurdistan_Region_relations#:~:text=The State of Israel and,missions in each other's territory. -
One-Third of the World Still Criminalizes Same-Sex Acts

I wasn't aware that there was a unanimous opinion among Christians and Musllims. Here's some polling numbers from the United States: https://www.pewresearch.org/religious-landscape-study/database/views-about-same-sex-marriage/ It looks like, at least among Americans, Muslims are more tolerant on the issue than are evangelical Protestants, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and Black Protestants.
