It’s starting to look more and more like the North didn’t actually win the Civil War.

He’s systematically dismantling the United States historical authority, in this case, early detection of viruses that are dangerous to the world.

This is very bad for the United States and the world.

How?

I mean, we and Israel are already ready and willing to pummel these guys. This feels simply symbolic.

If it is not struck down, we’re in big trouble.

Honestly, at this point, it’s not even about the morality of the law - it’s about the sanctity of the separation of powers.

The whole world has gone mad.

Ya… good luck with that…

I feel like there’s a nuance lost for most on this. The goal of Hamas - stated - is to destroy Israel and all its people. If Hamas achieves that goal, there will be a legitimate genocide.
Even though Israel has problems doesn’t mean the enterprise should be ended - any more than any other state.

Sadly, I feel as though a 2 state solution was lost in the early 2000s. I don’t know how we can get back to it. I don’t know who even is there to negotiate with on the Palestinian side. And I don’t think there’s anyone on the Israeli side who wants to (or has the political capital to do so)

If the worst thing done to them is that they were forcibly and violently torn from their family friends and homes and held in a tunnel for 15 months, that is still torture.

If they described any other cruelty while captive, you would likely dismiss it as propaganda.

And Fuck Hamas.

The protests have had a 0% influence on the end of hostilities.
January 19, 2025 at 9:37 PM
Hamas ABSOLUTELY was the manifestation of Palestinian Self-Determination. When Israel left Gaza in 2005, there was no blockade or wall. But Hamas killed all of their political opponents, and then began another Intifada which resulted in buses and restaurants being blown up in Israel.
January 19, 2025 at 9:04 PM
That is Wikipedia. It could have literally been updated by Hamas. It is an unreliable source of information, especially as it relates to anything related to Jews or Israel. But even Hamas probably don’t know where this family is.
January 19, 2025 at 9:02 PM
That is incorrect. One woman was abducted from her home. One was taken while escaping from the Nova Music Festival Massacre. One was taken from her parents home where she was visiting from Northern Israel. All of them were abducted on Oct 7, 2023.
January 19, 2025 at 8:49 PM
Do you think Hamas stopped firing rockets?
January 19, 2025 at 8:47 PM
I’m sure you quote verbatim exactly what Hamas says.

Who will play Gandalf? Who will play Strider?

Yes.

This is a good point - Anti-semitism extends into Zionist circles, too. And it’s a lot older than 10 years, it’s millennium old. But your point is very well taken.
January 16, 2025 at 9:21 PM
The fact that Israel has the Iron Dome doesn’t change the fact that if Hamas COULD, they absolutely WOULD kill many, many more. That’s not one-sided at all, except in effect.

I’m not trying to justify the horrendous deaths in Gaza, were it not for Hamas, it wouldn’t have happened.
January 16, 2025 at 9:20 PM
Even this comment is suspect - should we ignore Hamas’ _intent_ to kill Israeli civilians? Thousands of rockets over the last 18 months which have more than an inconvenience for Israeli lives.
January 16, 2025 at 9:19 PM
Imma wait for the 65” version.
January 16, 2025 at 5:20 PM
The disruptions are insane. It’s like they hear nothing. And maybe know nothing, except for Hamas propaganda.
January 15, 2025 at 10:29 PM
But I get the feeling that you wouldn’t really have ANY problem with that.
January 15, 2025 at 10:13 PM
Oh, we KNOW how that would play out. Between Hezbollah and Hamas, after the Iron Dome rockets ran out, millions (and I really mean millions) of dead Jews. We know because it’s what Hamas and Hezbollah says in their charters and all of their overt statements. They truly want to cleanse Israel.
