Strike a Blow at Tel Aviv!
-->
@cristo71
It's amazing how little most people know about Gaza beyond the conveniently contrived chirons on establishment media. Gaza is no better than any place in Africa ruled by a warlord's fist (Hamas). All of those places are worse than an "open air prison." More like an open air torture chamber.

Hamas is like Biden in that they are both incompetent, insensitive to the suffering of their own people, and need to create chaos in order to maintain power. God help us.

if Hamas uses the Palestine peoples money to build bunkers and rockets instead of desalination plants, wouldn't you want to eradicate Hamas so that the children could have water? What about the parents of those children that support Hamas...eradicate them too to save the Palestine children from an open air prison of their own making?

@Mharman
I don't think it's reasonable to ask someone who wants boots on the ground if they would go themselves.
In the context of this thread, we should explore support for war and killing with actions. The women in WW2 took action by working at war factories. Moral support wasn't nearly as important during WW2 as the actions people took to support the war.

MSNBC REMOVED Muslim Hosts to bow to Israel.
MSNBC has quietly taken three of its Muslim broadcasters out of the anchor’s chair since Hamas’s attack on Israel last Saturday amid America’s wave of sympathy for Israeli terror victims.

The network did not air a scheduled Thursday night episode of The Mehdi Hasan Show on the streaming platform Peacock. MSNBC also reversed a plan for Ayman Mohyeldin to fill in this week on the network for host Joy Reid’s 7 p.m. show on Thursday and Friday. Mohyeldin, an Egyptian-American journalist and veteran NBC News correspondent covered the conflict from Gaza for two years…. Two network sources with knowledge of the plans told Semafor that the network also plans to have Alicia Menendez fill in this upcoming weekend for Ali Velshi, a third Muslim-American host who on Sunday interviewed a spokesman for the Palestinian Authority.

Tani added, “Some staff at MSNBC have been concerned by the moves, feeling all three hosts have some of the deepest knowledge of the conflict. NBC says the shifts are coincidental, and the three continue to appear on air to report and provide analysis.” Tani also documented intense debate, sometimes including incendiary accusations that reporters who called for contextual reporting were guilty of being terrorist apologists, on MSNBC’s internal Slack channel.

In their vehement rejoinder to Tani’s report, MSNBC claimed that the three Muslim-American hosts were removed only for "logistical reasons" and that their religion had "nothing" to do with the decision. One complexity of the story is that the three employees continued to appear on MSNBC as reporters and analysts even as they were sidelined as hosts.

We can all count on ORO to shill for the Billionaire class and billionaire owned media. Fake liberal shows its fascist colors now and then.

why do so many people act like biden or trump have no redeeming qualities?
Until you can show me actual examples where the politician who gets sworn in is not the politician who received the most votes from the people in their constituency, 
Not one person voted for any lobbyist nor did anyone vote for any head of any Alphabet agency. All of those currently have all the power in the USA. We saw what happened to Trump. That was a warning for all future presidents to watch themselves.

Schumer said it best:

Pool discusses the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, highlighting the divisive nature of the issue. He mentions the polarization and shifting alliances within the culture war, with former allies becoming enemies. Pool criticizes the left for supporting Palestine without fully understanding the situation on the ground, particularly the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community in the region. He also touches on the Anti-Defamation League's refusal to call out Black Lives Matter despite concerns over statements by its founders. Pool argues that both the left and right are deeply entrenched in their positions on the Israel-Palestine conflict with no room for nuance. Pool expresses his frustration with individuals on both sides who are pushing for censorship, intervention, or taking extreme positions based on little information or heavily modified narratives. He emphasizes that war is a terrible and complex issue, with no easy solutions.

Pool criticizes the ADL for not acknowledging its role in exacerbating the conflict and for failing to address concerns about Black Lives Matter's stance on Israel. He argues that the conflict is exposing the hypocrisy of various woke institutions. Pool advocates for the U.S. to stay out of regional conflicts and focus on domestic issues. He stresses that people are entitled to their opinions and that tweeting at him won't change that.

Us as the voters? It hasn't been up to us for a very long time. Trump's failed presidency proved that the lobbyist class are collectively far more powerful than ANY one man, and they have plenty of tools to eliminate the competition.

I am a little upset with the BBB (Biden's crown jewel policy). We haven't seen such a massive corporate welfare scheme in the hopes of trickle-down since the Reagan days.

They got worse because of the aftermath of COVID, which would have been the case regardless of who won the election.
People who hate Trump probably knew it was going to be bad, but they had faith Biden would fix things. Maybe Democrats just had too high hopes for Biden.

Only 30 % of today's democrats want Biden to run again...so today, that's not even close to half the country considering democrats are only 30% of America. In 2020, the best thing about Biden was that no news agency reported anything bad.  In 3 years, they were forced to cover reality. People blamed Trump for not delivering on his border wall promise and removed him in 2020, but they had no idea just how much worse things would get both around the world and at home.

No, because the world operates on might makes right, and wars have consequences.

That's why nations have standing armies and borders change after a war to end the war.

The ONLY reason why Hamas is allowed to artificially exist is because Israel refuses to exercise might to end that evil on the Earth. In my opinion, a nation that refuses to eliminate genocidal enemies deserves to have their children beheaded. Go woke, get smoked.

That is evidence that Hunter was telling people that joe was involved. That was kind of a core part of the scheme. He would tell people that if they gave him money, his dad might do stuff for them. Then he kept the money.

The email claimed his Dad took half of his earnings. Not that he kept the money.

It's mostly because feminism taught women how to be happy alone. So many women have a nice place, many cats, and all the wine you can drink.

"It’s really heartbreaking for me to see Neil go down this woke rabbit hole and have to use these wild forms of mental gymnastics to justify these insane beliefs. I absolutely adored Neil’s remake of Carl Sagan's Cosmos, and his book 'Astrophysics, for people in a hurry.' I’ve always said that if I had a science teacher, or any teacher for that matter like Neil, then I would have been far more interested in school and education at a younger age. He was always so passionate about communicating and teaching; he really was a genuine force for good in regards to education because he was able to make anything sound fascinating and interesting. But it seems like he’s lost the plot. It seems like he can’t distinguish reality from ideology and, in fact, tries to blend them, him and Sam Harris."

Because he uses a logical progression to convince people that his position is right; but at the same time ignoring when logic invalidates his position. There are numerous articles online with examples. Some people go so far as to say Harris KNOWS he is wrong, he just doesn't care. It's winning the argument that matters.

There are numerous examples of such groups gaining eventual prosperity in their adopted country despite discrimination. Often, they will take on roles between producer and consumer, such as trading and moneylending. Famous examples such as Jews throughout Europe even at times when discrimination against them was high, Chinese throughout Southeast Asia and North America, Muslims and Parsis in India, Igbos in Nigeria, Indians in East Africa, Lebanese in West Africa, and many others.

Middleman minorities usually provide an economic benefit to communities and nations and often start new industries. However, their economic aptitude, financial success and clannishness, combined with social prejudices by other groups against businesses and moneylending, can cause resentment among the native population of a country. Middleman minorities can be victims of racist violence, terrorists, bullying, genocide, racialist policy, or other forms of repression. Other ethnic groups often accuse them of plotting conspiracies against their nation or of stealing wealth from the native population.

"Words and actions should help to unite, not divide, the people of our various nationalities; They should be beneficial, not harmful, to socialist construction; They should help to consolidate, not weaken, the people’s democratic dictatorship; They should help to consolidate, not weaken, democratic centralism; They should help to strengthen, not discard or weaken, the leadership of the Communist Party; They should be beneficial, not harmful, to international socialist unity.

Of these six criteria of words, the most important are the socialist path and the leadership of the party."
