    Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza, U.N. Inquiry Says

    What I meant to convey, poorly, is that anyone who is capable of perpetrating the massacre of October 7, in which all victims were slaughtered at random, would not stop until they ran out of Jews to kill given the chance. The “genocide” reference described their mindset.

    Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza, U.N. Inquiry Says

    From the founding 1988 charter of Hamas: Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it just as it obliterated others before it ... Sounds like a promise to commit genocide to me. Now, try to convince us that Oct. 7 wasn't what an attempt at genocide looks like.

    New attack on West Bank Christian village of Taibeh

    Yes, the situation on the ground (as we've seen since Oct 7) can change plans and attitudes. But, that doesn't change the fact that Israel has always wanted peace. The 1947 declartion of independence was a giant olive branch that was greeted by bullets. Arab visceral hatred of Jews is the basis...

    Name a peace proposal made by the Palestinians.

    Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza, U.N. Inquiry Says

    Complete dodge. What should Israel be doing instead of trying to eliminate Hamas? Answer the question.

    Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza, U.N. Inquiry Says

    So, why did they pull out of Gaza in 2005? Why did they offer 98% of the WB and a secure corridor to Gaza in 2008?

    Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza, U.N. Inquiry Says

    Israel unilaterally pulled out of Gaza in 2005. They forced Israeli settlers to leave. The hope was that land-for-peace would ensue. How did that work out for them? They gambled with the lives of their own citizens and lost 1200 times on Oct 7. The ONLY reason they feel the need to recapture...

    New attack on West Bank Christian village of Taibeh

    Groups like the Irgun only existed outside the Haganah because of incessant terrorist attacks. The Haganah was a defense force only, and the offshoots were created to act more preemptively. They almost fought each other at one point. Maybe he "didn't have time" because the goat ate his...

    New attack on West Bank Christian village of Taibeh

    @Infinite Chaos I've been thinking about the most basic aspect of this never-ending shit show, and it comes down to the fact that Israel was even created in the first place. Should it have been? What right did Britain/France have in occupying Palestine, and what right did the UN have in...

    New attack on West Bank Christian village of Taibeh

    Can't argue with that. After UN 181 was passed in 1947, the Arabs immediately revolted, and began the wars that would create the Nakba. They too were offered a country in 1947 - not just the Jews - but that meant accepting the presence of a Jewish state as a neighbor, so they decided on...

    Should Transgenders be allowed to hold any job if they are qualified?

    Define qualified. If a pre-op male-to-female trans applies for a job as dressing room attendant at the YWCA, should he be hired? I'm a no on that one. Btw, I'm invoking the 2013 DSM differentiation between sex and gender when I use pronouns. I have chosen to use sex rather than gender in most...

    Wordle

    When I'm faced with more possibilities than I have reamining guesses, I try to think of a throw-away word that tests multiple choices. For example, if I've used 4 guesses and have S T A and E, but only the E in the 5th slot and green, the answer could be stake, skate, state, or stave. so, I...
