A must Read for Today
From Ross K.
"While we remember that day of horror and tragedy, let’s also remember that protests against Israel began within just a day or two afterwards, far before Israel had responded. There is a scary and increasing level of antisemitism in America. It’s throughout universities and the Democratic Party and led, on the right, by Tucker Carlson with help from near-Nazi Candace Owens and gentle toleration by Vice President JD Vance. It’s not only Jews who should be concerned about what it means for and about the country.
And also, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Michigan seems way too pro-terrorist and yet might get elected in the massive voter reaction against Donald Trump, especially in a state that has a very large Arab population. You have so many idiots and Democratic politicians (there is plenty of overlap, which should not be meant to suggest that there aren’t lots of Republican idiots too, just not usually on this issue) talking about “Israeli genocide” or “apartheid,” all of which is utter nonsense. If Israel wanted to wipe out the Palestinians, they could. Israel protected Palestinian civilians far more than Hamas did."
cont..
"I have no patience or sympathy for any of the “Free Palestine” crowd. Palestinians had their chances. They threw them away. Now they have no chance at a “two-state solution” anytime soon, but perhaps they will stop supporting terrorists and murderers when they have an election and maybe they can be somewhat free. It will require them to recognize Israel’s right to exist and stop attacking; I don’t think that will happen anytime soon since they still teach children to hate and want to murder Israelis and Jews.
So, I feel only very slightly sorry for Palestinian civilians, too many of whom voted for Hamas and would do so again if they could (especially in the West Bank). This is this generation’s equivalent of Nazi Germany. Hitler won an election, too. Didn’t make him a good guy. Actually, the Palestinians are worse than the Germans who voted for Hitler, because most of the Germans didn’t understand that Hitler intended genocide, but the Palestinians understand that that’s exactly what Hamas (and other similar groups) want.
I’ve long described the difference between a radical Palestinian and a moderate like this: The radical wants to kill every Jew today. The moderate wants to kill every Jew next week."
conclusion:
"Hamas had their terrible day. Israel will never again let its guard down. For me, as an American whose primary concern is for America (though I do care what happens to Israel), it’s time for people of goodwill to stand up far more aggressively than most have against the horseshoe (far left and far right) of antisemitism that has infected the nation."
Is 70,000 known dead enough, not counting the bodies vaporized by the 2,000 lb bombs Israel is using on apartment blocks, that’s only recoved bodies presented to officials. It does not include the babies that died in the womb due to malnutrition. Just like in North Korea, where we have sanctions for decades, or Iran, where sanctions went up after they took back the oil from British Petroleum, that they took from Iran in 1953.
We also killed a lot of babies when Obama seized the wheat country and oil fields from Syria and starved them until they collapsed an now Israel is helping itself to Syrian land.
Bibi knew in advance about 10-7, btw, it’s all over the Israeli press.
I guess if you consider people subhuman, their deaths don’t matter.
The IDF killed a lot of Israelis that day too, it’s called creating a pretext, it’s useful to cover up a war of aggression.
Basically the hostages were subjected to the same conditions that Gazans have lived under.
If you guys read any history this side of the Old Testament, this stuff would make more sense.
@Jaq, I certainly consider YOU subhuman, prepared as you are to push every piece of Iranian and Hamas propaganda, no matter how absurd it is, with (as near as I can tell) some invented embroidery all your own. A southern Democrat in the 1950s talking about black prople couldn’t unleash a more spittle-filled but fact free diatribe.
I argue that the problem for Israell is not that they have done what you charge tbem with, it’s that they haven’t. The IDF’s job has been to see to it that October 7th never happens again. Well if they don’t kill every male of military age, meaning 10 to &0, then they’re asking for another October 7th but on a different date in a future year.
Jaq
You mind bleeding somewhere else. You're getting your feelings all over the carpet.
99% of people are shocked and unprepared for the collapse of the thin civilizational veneer they always believed was inviolable. No one is immune, but personal mental preparation and sometimes personality can cushion the blow. It will be with her the rest of her life.
tl;dr If the IDF is going to be accused of genocide no matter how much effort they put into avoiding civilian casualties, then they should just shrug their shoulders and show the world what genocide really looks like.
JAQ - you really are vile creep. Why not bugger off to Bleu Cry.
Does BS NOW have a chat room?.
I object to the term "genocide" being used.
Actual genocide is ignored by the same vile leftist-rightwing extremists Candyass lie buyers.
First: I can totally understand how that young woman still has mental anguish over what happened to her. I can’t begin to fathom what happened to her inside of whatever hell hole she was in. Second: I completely agree with peachy +2. Stop thinking that Hamas is only a small group of people. It was the whole population. Mothers willing to martyr their children, mothers willing to hide these hostages. Palestinians have had their chance multiple times and once you blow it as many times as they have, I say screw you. Third: There was no genocide in Gaza. This was called a war. It is more important that more bad guys die than good guys. I consider Hamas and the people in Gaza the bad guys. I consider Israel the good guys.
Corrupt mob-globalist assholes sure do like to import illegals on a mass scale - so they can keep winning elections.
If most are rage-fueled radical Islamists - that's OK too.
Paminwi - those are posts that I found interesting. Not my words.
Pamiwi said: "peachy +2. Stop thinking that Hamas is only a small group of people."
Where/when did I say that? Also - "Stop thinking"?
@Paminwi: I totally agree with you.
Yes it was popular front islamic jihad fatah and every other thing under the sun
I saw a ******* kefayah(sp) coffee shop in Austin giving discounts on Oct 7 if you come in with the headdress. Disgusting people, every damn one of them. I hope nothing ever is happy in their miserable lives.
I’m still stunned how the people who RAPED WOMEN TO DEATH are supported by the democrat party and the media. Whatever bad that happens to them and their families will be allright by me.
Thers no trauma like jewish trauma.
"Let me tell you about it..."
I will wait for the movie(s). Lol
Luckily the boomers are dying off and the diverse Americans coming up are determined to take America back from Israel.
๐บ๐ธ >i๐ฎ๐ฑ
Why am I obligated to support another mans religious state...forever?
That aint right.
Oddly it is the women who are most eager to kill off other people's children as if that has wo4ked to,protect their own... ๐ค
LIFE is better than poor military strategy and collective punishment. The jews of old knew that...
You are rooting for the wrong team if you want peace,ann. There's a better way... ✝️
My burrito just exploded in the microwave...
...I said a prayer for jewish propaganda. ✡️
Poor things.
What Hamas did on October 7 was a genocidal act. Israel's response was not.
Jaq: I had thought it impossible that pixels could stink up a room.
Every post of yours proves me wrong.
Well isn't that sad. Now the Times should do a story on the thousands of kids in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran who are maimed for life due to Israeli bombs and shells. Or the kids who saw their father blown up before their eyes, because the IDF wanted to kill someone in the same Apartment building.
Or talk to the relatives of the 160 Schoolgirls killed by our sneak and unprovoked attack on Iran.
Or talk to the Palestinians who are still recovering from being tortured in IDF Prisons.
The MSM in England and the USA makes me puke with their 1 Israeli suffering > 1000 Arab suffering.
RCO2
It's not working anymore. We've seen the stats. We've seen how the propaganda sausage gets made. IOWs we're on to you. Get another gig.
The IDF internet censorship brigade has shown up to defend their homeland. How shocking.
Carry on.
"Please use the comments forum to respond to the post. Don't fight with each other. Be substantive... or interesting... or funny."
LOL - when do Zionists ever play by the rules.
Jaq-Off posted “70,000 known dead enough, not counting the bodies vaporized by the 2,000 lb bombs Israel is using on apartment blocks”
Sounds like the IDF still has work to do.
Peachy: you might have misinterpreted what I said. And I never used quotes so I never misquoted you.
I meant to say I support your comments and the content of them. Not that they were your explicit words.
It's amazing, isn't it, how RC and Jaq and the rest of the "oh ebul bad Israel murdering poor innocent Gazans!" brigade never, ever say a single word about Muslim children killed by other Muslims.
Not a word. Not a word from RC about Christian children killed by Muslims around the world, burned to death in Nigeria, or sold into slavery. RC is happy when Muslims put Christian women and girls and children into iron cages and set them on fire. RC smirks when Muslims kill other Muslim children.
But apparently when "Da Joooos!" defend themselves and Muslim children die, those Muslim children are special and we must all weep and wail over them.... not over any other children killed by Muslims, mind you. Never, ever weep over those kids. Only children that are killed when terrorists hide behind them matter.
Isn't that correct, Jaq and RC? Oh yes: apparently children that die when Iran uses them as human shields also matter. But no one else!
"Not a word from RC about Christian children killed by Muslims around the world, burned to death in Nigeria, or sold into slavery."
The subject is Israel and their actions. Not Nigeria. But again, with the derail. Defend Israel. If you can.
The Palestinian savages killed everyone they could and filmed it - with pride.
RC Cola cool with it.
"The Palestinian savages killed everyone they could and filmed it - with pride."
So how did they take 200 hostages and release almost all of them more or less unharmed - if they "Killed everyone they could".
The Israel didn't kill everyone they could. They just killed 80,000 Gazans. Almost all of them old men, women, and Kids.
But Peachy is cool with that. And with Israel killing journalists, aid workers, UN workers, priests, clerics, medics, etc. etc.
And stealing people's land in the West Bank. And letting Israelis go to the West bank and murder Arabs at random.
God commanded Israel to exterminate the wicked people who had gone so far they were past redemption. Judges. In fact, God mentions how He let the palestinians ripen in iniquity until He had no choice.
Every society that sacrifices children does not last long. God destroys them quickly. From the Aztecs to the Carthaginians to the Molech worshippers... to, now, Gazans who sacrifice their children as suicide bombers.
So why should I be upset when Israel is, once again, the sword God is weilding against wicked palestinian child murderers, RC?
Also, note how RC says that "Sure, the women were gangraped and beaten and tortured every day for two years, but that's really mostly unharmed, because they are Jews so nothing is wrong with hurting them!"
I don't understand the refusal to distinguish morally between the targeted massacre and torture of a purely civilian population by Hamas, and the incidental deaths of civilians in a war intended to defeat a military enemy. Israel took unheard-of efforts to minimize civilian casualties
Its interesting how the attitude of the liberal MSM toward Israel mirrors that of their attitude toward the USSR in the 1930s. No matter how many millions Stalin killed and what crimes he committed, the NYT's and other liberal papers just couldn't get upset about it. Usually, they just ignored it or minimized it. Or reluctantly discussed it when one of those "rabid anti-communists" got too loud about it.
Meanwhile, they couldn't shut up about every crime committed by the fascists: Hitler, Mussolini, Franco. Every person hurt was headline news.
Now its: Every israeli injured is a headline. 1000 dead arabs is a footnote.
Put bluntly: Islam is either at your throat or at your feet. Sometimes you just have to kill enough of them for them to stop attacking you. RC says "no no, I want all the Jews dead! Hamas needs to be left alone to fulfill their goals! Same with Hezbollah! They only want to finish what Hitler started!"
Defend Israel, RC? Hamas and Hezbollah say, quite openly, they plan on conquering Isreal and killing every single Jew there. Torturing them to death. Israel is defending themselves against people who openly want to murder them.
But YOU have no problems with Hamas and Hezbollah's goals, do you. You've never, ever, ever said "this is how to stop Hamas and hezbollah so they won't try to exterminate the Jews." Nope. Nary a word of "What should Israel do to protect themselves." It's all "why are those mean evil Jews killing those poor people who only want to rape, murder and exterminate Jews? Why won't the Jews offer their throats to be cut and their wives and daughters to be raped and tortured to death?"
Why shouldn't Israel treat Gaza the way the Gazans loudly proclaim they want to treat Israel, RC?
Look, those that have morals and are Americans will understand what i'm saying. Those who are immoral Zionists will not. Adios.
RC is the kind of guy who wept over Hiroshima and says we should have just let Japan keep going. Who cried over US troops stopping what Japan was doing to the Philipinos. RC blames the US for the deaths of Japanse civilians on Saipan... the ones who threw themselves off a cliff. "oh, if only the US had just let Japan conquer the Pacific!" he cries. Then all those Japanese children wouldn't have been hurt! They would have grown up to rape and murder millions of koreans, chinese, vietnamese, philipinos, and more! Which was their right and I have no problem with any of that! Poor poor Kamikazes!"
Yes, IC's "Morals:" Treblinka was fine for RC. Hamas holding a baby in one arm while firing guns at Jewish girls is fine for RC. That's "Morals" for RC. Gazan mothers strapping dynamite to their 11 year olds and sending them to suicide on a checkpoint is "morality" to RC.
How DARE anyone question the right of Islam to wipe Christianity and Judaism off the planet! It's immoral to defend against the Pedophile Prophet and his minions of evil!
Pearl Harbor was a failure. This was a failure.
It is a lie to say Bibi knew.
Hamas wanted the pretext. The slaughter was to get the bullshit sympathy they get from slugs like Tim in Vermont.

They could do a peace on the thousands of kids killed and maimed by the Jews.
Or they could do a piece on the millions killed and maimed by Jordan.
Of course you celebrate when Jordan kills Palestinians.
The joooooos however you treat differently for some reason.

You are such a hateful little child when you start talking about tha joooooos.
Little Palestinain child Abdul is dead at age 11.
"Killed by Jordan? Yawn!" says RC and Jaq.
Killed by his mom strapping dynamite to his chest and telling him to go blow himself up and kill a jew? "He's a hero!" says RC and Jaq. That's the moral thing to do!
Killed by a Jewish soldier as little Abdul is firing a gun at them? "Evil Israel! Murdering children! How dare they! Don't they know the moral thing to do is let the little Muslim kid rape and kill them!" says Jaq and RC.
Hamas wanted the pretext. The slaughter was to get the bullshit sympathy they get from the decadent Israel haters around the globe. The lie-buying death cult adoration club.
October 7 and the Transition from Wokeism to Savage Culture
"Sigmund Freud once mused that civilization began when people stopped throwing spears and started throwing words. Today we might be experiencing the reverse, a slide from civilization toward savagery.
Recall that the day after Hamas slaughtered 1,200 Israelis, the Democratic Socialists of America hosted an anti-Israel protest in Times Square. The event, and its Hamas-friendly messaging, were enough to disgust Maurice Isserman, one of the founders of the DSA, and longtime celebrity member Sarah Silverman. Even so, it did little to diminish wider enthusiasm for the party.
In fact, New Yorkers would go on to elect DSA member Zohran Mamdani as their mayor. It might be tempting to chalk up Mamdani’s triumph to the peculiarities of New York City politics and a three-way race that split the “not-insane” vote. But if we do that, we’d have to overlook countless other signs of gathering savagery."
"Consider the broader renaissance of socialism in America. A sane populace has at least two reasons to reject the DSA: Its flirtation with terrorism and its embrace of old-school economic thuggery. New Yorkers still elected Mamdani even though he declared that his end goal is “seizing the means of production.” Cea Weaver, Mamdani’s director of the Office to Protect Tenants, calls home ownership a “weapon of white supremacy” and urges voters to elect, not more Democrats or Social Democrats, but more Communists — you know, those who have long achieved their aims through violence."
Yep - sounds like BS NOW and the leftists who post here.
"Hamas Disappointed Leftists Don't Believe They Massacred Jews After They Went To All The Trouble To Livestream It"
Hamas-holes filmed it all = with stolen phones. Proud of their savagery.
Teh left? nuuut uhh.
