  1. Yeah I also don't find his "condemnation" at all sincere.
  2. Episode 6 of Season 3 of The Young Royals which is the FINALE of the entire series is out today. Without any spoilers, I will call it an emotionally satisfying conclusion.
  3. Yeah when Trump was president he spoke for me. Sure thing, dude. He never got a majority of votes and never will. Hamas is on record as having every intention of doing October 7 attacks again and again and again and their intention is to kill all the Jews. Yet to you it's a bad thing that Israel is stopping them at least for now. Hamas still holds hostages as well. Calling for an unconditional cease fire is calling for Israel to surrender, and why should they? I'm not going to play into your simple minded cheap gotcha condemn on demand game. I said they made mistakes. I said Netanyahu shouldn't be in power. Going back I doubt October 7 would have happened if Netanyahu wasn't in power then, but that doesn't mean he's to blame for what the Hamas terrorists did and continue to intend to do if they are effectively crushed by Israel.
  4. Bingo. I'm not neutral. I support the right of Israel to exist and defend itself. I know for a fact that Jews are indigenous to Israel and the leftist narrative of apartheid, "white" colonialization, and genocide is a crock. I think Hamas set up a trap and Israel felt they had no choice but to fall into it resulting in Israel badly losing the PR war. Possibly permanent damage to the future of Israel. I hope not but Israel demonizers have cause for optimism. I can also see that Israel has made mistakes and that Netanyahu has been a disaster.
  5. More stupidity. Being elected doesn't mean your views gel with 100 percent of your region. Stop lying about my views on Israel. Yeah you're a real 50 50 kind of guy.
  6. Don't be so stupid. No group is a monolith. Not all settlers are right wing extremists. Many are there mainly because they can't afford decent housing in regular Israel. Everything has to black and white with you. The real world is much more complicated.
  7. Agreed but her views do not represent the Israeli government.
  8. That wasn't moaning. You obviously don't know from moaning.
  9. I'm not saying they should or shouldn't. My point is that people who fake being financially qualified with payoffs are by definition more suspect than those that follow the letter of the law. So in a REAL crackdown, they would stop the agent game. Yet they never do.
  10. The Arab leaders are lying. They can't accept a Jewish state in their region. Have Palestinian "refugees" for multiple generations is on them. They use that for internal political control purposes. They know they are same as any Arabs but they don't want to lose the eternal refugee card as a propaganda tool. Having an enemy to hate (Jews) takes the heat off their internal problems. If they absorb them then they lose that political tool, so the Palestinains are innocent victims of the Arab world. Of course Jordan has largely absorbed them so their political stance is different. If the conflict was Arab vs. Arab it wouldn't be an international issue -- PERIOD
  11. Does there need to be a point? How does that make you feel?
  12. It's way beyond that! Online stuff has made attention deficit disorder the norm particularly in digital native generations. There is no going back.
  13. I said: So one might ask, what's the point of this topic? You asked.
  14. Xenophobia always works anywhere to divert attention away from real problems.
  15. More like they never want to absorb Palestinians. Look at how Lebanon treats them.
  16. And yet mysteriously they never go after agents ...
  17. You need to view bloodbath-gate in the wider context. I repeat my previous assertion -- Trump is evil. Stop him now before it is too late. ‘Bloodbath’ aside, Trump’s violent rhetoric is unambiguous - The Washington Post (archive.ph) ‘Bloodbath’ aside, Trump’s violent rhetoric is unambiguous Trump has already warned of “riots,” “violence in the streets” and “death & destruction” if he’s wronged. All of that context is vital.
  18. Saying people are "not people" is quite strange, but we've come to expect strange things from Trump. Of course all people are people. Even Trump. On the other hand all people are also all animals (mammals). Some people are so violent that calling them animals is not really so objectionable. But Trump is trying to demonize ALL migrants with his hateful rhetoric and that is not fair though it will serve to fire up his rabid base of cult followers.
