Bill Maher shuts down the " .but Israel's bad too" crownd

Indeed, last night's show sickened me more than most his shows and most leave me very queasy.

He and the little alphabet person he had on had hate in their eyes. They were not capable of thinking or speaking with any objectivity.
Bill mentioned his hate of American's most esteemed educational institutions scores of times.

No one challenge him or teh alphabet guy to point out that we last Saturday we all stood with Israel and it was not until after the pics of what 6,000 bombs in 5 days does to a densely populated city that people started to say, WTF, stop that shit Israel.

Maybe he gets a check from the Israeli propaganda chief to do what he did with his show last night?
Tlaib's office called. They are hiring PR people. You should apply!
 
<<<this is what a real journalist looks like


They would be an international pariah state if they nuked Gaza. But by killing them through thirst, folks like you will still defend them.

Klattu pays tribute to Trump with his sloppily written thread titles. W3ll done, sir.
WOW- You win the 'most creative way to work Trump into a thread' award!
 
My God. It's a simple argument. You realize they haven't depleted their munitions, right?


If they do, the international community will reject them. I don't think that's the plan.

You still have to concentrate conventional weaponry for it to be effective. Israel doesn’t have thousands of strategic bombers on call.

Then why have they called on the million civilians who live there to flee?

I don't date fat women so she should call someone else.
Plus, my card is full.

Stop. It's a simple argument. Israel could have exerted much more force if it wanted to.

Because that's what armies do when they're about to engage in urban warfare against terrorists.
 
True or false, it's customary for warring factions to supply each other with fresh, clean water?

Israel is at war with the civilians of Gaza?

The US never cut off water to the citizens of Fallujah when we rooted AQ out of the city.

No, it couldn’t without using nukes.
 
True or false, Israel has cut off access to water for Gaza.

I'm sure the IDF will take that under advisement ,consider the source and dismiss it
one thing you should know about the Israelis. They aren't Christians. They ain't turning the other cheek. You slap them on the cheek , they aren't going to slap you back. Expect them to bash your other cheek in. This they have learned from decades of experience dealng with a group of people who only understand just that.
A boojie American liberal squisher wouldn't get that.
 
Comments don't get more obtuse than that.


We bombed any and every utility we could find going into Germany.

The Germans bombed the shit out of Stalingrad as well.

How‘d that go for them?

And on 10/7 they(yet again) saw the results of those choices.
 
I don't watch Meher for anything more than entertainment. Heck I don't watch the News Channels for anything more than entertainment.

As for what Arab states have done since the establishment of the Jewish State in the Middle East, that has nothing to do with the Palestinians. Arab states have attacked Israel for their own selfish reasons from the instant Israel declared its independence. We here in the US made that worse by orders of magnitude when we eliminated Iraq as a genuine buffer between Saudi and Iran. We completely destabilized the region when we went to war with Iraq and over false pretenses for that matter.

Oh and lets not forget that we turned Iran into our enemy when we installed the Shah at the head of the country flipping their own legitimate government in the process. Just because a government is doing things we do not like within their own borders does not make them illegitimate. What did the government of Iran do to deserve our wrath? They began nationalizing the oil industry in Iran.

But here is what I know to be true just from history. Human Nature is to group up as a defense mechanism. Once in a group we look to align ourselves with other groups again with the same intentions, mainly defense sometimes against real threats sometimes imagined or at the least overblown.

The Palestinians have never had any real alliances with anybody. The Arab States never cared about the Palestinians and they don't now care about them. If a group has no alliances nor supporters from anywhere they will be kicked to the curb, abused, used, taken advantage of. While I do not find any equivalencies between Israelis and Hamas it is clear that the Palestinians have been short shifted if not forever at least through the 20th and now 21st centuries, probably longer.

So while I would not "blame" the Israelis necessarily for their treatment of Palestinians to not recognize what has been happening in that region particularly after 1946 is to deny human nature. Maybe we just don't like to recognize what often motivates us.

Did the Native Americans have any alliances here? Did we not bulldoze them into the ground, slowly, slyly and ultimately completely claiming that THEY WERE THE PROBLEM the entire time?
 
You realize that it takes time to concentrate conventional weaponry, right?

They are about to go in and flatten Gaza City.
I don't think the Israelis intend "flattening" Gaza City. But the end result might be the same.

This is no cake walk the Israelis are headed into despite Israeli bluster. This will be a brutal bloody battle and the outcome is far from clear.

Lets not forget that the "other" Iran proxy, Hezbollah sits right across the border in Lebanon ready to strike if they see an opportunity that truly presents itself out of this crisis. I don't even want to think about the consequences of that. However I doubt either Hezbollah nor Iran is thinking about it.
 
I wonder how long Maher can sway back and forth on that fence?

You have to go back 70 years to before smart weapons existed. That’s how pathetic your position is.

Apparently for Israeli Jews, “Never Forget” is actually about making sure to remember the techniques the Nazis used so they can repeat them.

You’re the one saying because the Israelis aren’t Christians they are going to kill civilians without batting an eye.
