Thank you.

Irony.

True.

Sadly Hamas embraces that spirit as well. They know that conflict, power doesn’t come only out of assets, but out of willingness to endure loss (or not prevent it).

Crying wolf, crocodile tears, are in their arsenal, as well as in Israel’s.

Meanwhile real suffering goes on.

He can only be rich through insider trading? Fascinating.

My point being: some *usually* good thinking people will say “everything it’s false, because the picture is out of context”.

And it sucks.

(I hope Charlotte reads this before blocking me… I value her work).

I concur.

And I hate those odds.

Yep… No need to appease coalition partners.

(Not that it wasn’t on the workings to happen sometime or another, I’m afraid).

Words to remember.

But is there a Daf Yomi for shulhan Aruch?

On a more serious note, I’m not sure non observants who engage in DY do it to learn the Halacha.

Unless they are on tschuva path.

I guess because over 99% of gentiles that have heard the word Talmud (which is not many), have not heard of the SA.

And antisemites wouldn’t GAF, even if they knew about it.

Agree, though both the Israeli govt and Hamas had signaled for some years that they preferred de-escalation, so it was unexpected.

Iran’s open policy of wanting to obliterate Israel has been ongoing.

Houties’ and Hezbollah misiles are an example.

And the acronym DOGE is a lie, but the harm is real.

1. Armies are not political bodies. They routinely draft plans for every stupid contingency or scenario, however unlikely, because that’s what they are expected.

2. OTOH Hegseth is as unqualified as his boss, & their Greenland policy is nuts.

1 & 2 are unrelated.

Not defending Hegseth nor his motivation.

But the Pentagon and almost any country’s military HQ, big and small, has plans on how to invade any neighboring country, or to defend from such an invasion.

It hits differently because usually they don’t expect to act on it.

I get it.

But I know that from blue collar to pristine white, to creatives, the impact is across the board.

And just because “it has happened before”’ it doesn’t mean the result will be in the same scale, nor that it will not have strong social or political impact.

The one opinion that unites secular Jews and Haredim.

Messianic Jews don’t understand how universal the dislike for their “superceding” theology is. Too much persecution on its name.

Also sus is the “dolores” in his handle, it is a very catholic name (usually it comes from “Virgen de los Dolores”.

He could claim to have Jewish ancestry (anussim, and so on), but he won’t get very far in being considered a Jew.

He’s too handsome!

(Seriously, be thankful, the “pure” MC have deformed faces. Humans have cursed those cats with unnatural standards).
