  1. Right. So, do you believe in the irrelevance of historical examples where other native peoples responded in brutal and horrific ways to their oppression? Or is that only in the case of Israel?
  2. It was big news, as a matter of fact. Of course, if you only get your news from Fox and the like, it's possible you might have missed it.
  3. How would the consequences of 100^ of them believing that change their conduct when they already have so many legitimate grievances against the Israelis? Would they accept Israel's response as legitimate?
  4. Enraged people are good at not facing facts. Sometimes the grounds for their rage are legitimate. Other times, they are enraged because they lost an election. And believe in ridiculous conspiracy theories rather than accept the loss. Not that you'd be one of those types.
  5. You realize that Saudi Arabia with US support was the reason that at the time, Yemen suffered from the worst crisis of starvation in the world? The Saudis inflicted huge damage on Yemen via its invasion.
  6. Given that that truth is bad enough as a motivating force, I don't. Most Muslims are enraged about actual actual Israeli conduct. How much angrier or more aggrieved can conspiracy theories make them?
  7. Appaarently enough to justify attempting to starve 2 million people. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/21/israeli-soldiers-and-police-tipping-off-groups-that-attack-gaza-aid-trucks
  8. Like dragging immigration irrelevantly into so many discussions? That's what qualifies as drivel.
  9. I don't think it makes much difference given all the actual horrors that Palestinians are experiencing in Gaza and on the West bank. There's more than enough fuel for rage there.
  10. There is a six page topic on it. Lots of viewpoints in a 6 page topic. Feel free to quote yourself from those pages so I know what your take on the issue is.
  11. Thanks for not answering the question. How does it not bode well?
  12. Wow. Not only was your reply irrational, but personal as well. You've got less than nothing.
  13. They won the local election but they can't read the room? Maybe you should look for a case of electoral illiteracy closer to home.
  14. In what percentage of those cases did the defendants repeatedly violate gag orders?
  15. Yes blood clots. Microplastics Found in Blood Clots in Heart, Brain, And Legs Earlier this year, we got news from a landmark study that microplastics – tiny shards of plastic shed from larger chunks – had been found inside more than 50 percent of fatty deposits from clogged arteries. It was the first data of its kind to draw a link between microplastics and their impact on human health. Now, a new study from researchers in China reports finding microplastics in blood clots surgically removed from arteries in the heart and brain, and deep veins in the lower legs. https://www.sciencealert.com/microplastics-found-in-blood-clots-in-heart-brain-and-legs
  16. What chums are these? Just more ridiculous caricatures from you. The goal now is to stop using it as a fuel and contributing to global warming. It would be a nice thing if bioscience can come up with a feasible way to replace drilling for the stuff as well. And to replace plastics of which the microparticles are now found in human tissue and even in blood clots. But the technology to achieve those goals isn't there yet.
  17. Oil that was not turned into CO2 and other noxious gases.
  18. Here's a link to get past the Bloomberg paywall: https://archive.ph/WDk04
  19. According to a source close to the investigation, the target of the raids is Guillaume Pradoura, a former assistant to embattled EU lawmaker Maximilian Krah, of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Pradoura -- who was expelled from France's National Rally over an anti-Semitic picture -- now works for the Dutch far-right lawmaker Marcel de Graaff. The prosecutor's office said searches were being conducted at a staffer's home in Schaerbeek, northeast Brussels, and his offices in both Brussels and Strasbourg -- with cooperation from French authorities. https://www.thelocal.com/20240529/police-search-european-parliament-over-possible-russian-meddling
  20. I find it very difficult to believe that anybody sits through sits through 2 hours of something like this without being a firm believer beforehand. Moore is a serial liar. He has repeatedly claimed to be a founder of Greenpeace. That's a lie. Basically, he's a shill for polluting industries. https://www.desmog.com/patrick-moore/
  21. Israel has no plan for what to do after the war ends. Why Israel can't destroy Hamas Amid ever-increasing global outrage, the objectives in Israel's war are out of reach. https://www.vox.com/today-explained-podcast/352059/why-israel-cant-destroy-hamas If the war ever ends. Now Israel is predicting it will likely last another 7 months: Israel says Gaza war likely to last another seven months as tanks probe Rafah https://archive.ph/OfMIV
  22. "At the donor meeting, Trump, who joked about the presence of “98% of my Jewish friends,” did not mention Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by name, reflecting his ongoing resentment over Netanyahu's recognition of Biden’s 2020 election victory." It figures that out of the many possible reasons to disapprove of Netanyahu, Trump managed to find a rare instance where Netanyahu actually behaved honorably.
