Though I do like the scene where Jude Law joins the Basterds in a tavern and gives away their identity by...
Fuck me. Again.
Fuck me. Again.
No response on the merits I see. Because it is indefensible.LOL!No response on the merits I see. Because it is indefensible.So what is worse? That Justice Alito, who has routinely given the middle finger to the idea the SCOTUS judges should avoid even the appearance of bias, flew his flag upside down in support of Trump's claim the election was stolen at the same time he was advocating that the court take up election cases or that, having been caught out, he threw his wife under the bus?LOL.
You copy that from a DNC news release.

Your gay apparel?I donYes, provided they leave like you advocate and let Israel control all of Palestine from the river to the sea, just like Ben Gurion envisioned.A complete distortion of history. Israel has always been willing to coexist with people who agree not to live in peace.I am not arguing anyone is a good guy. Not after 76 years of eye for eye.Hardly. Your selective use of historical facts cannot make the Arabs the good guys, if you will.Only if you want to ignore history and the historical context of what is happening in Israel and Palestine. Which is convenient for you.Going back in time to strangle Gavrillo Princip in his crib. Which is more workable than yours.A laughable redirection of the argument.
The partition of Palestine was a political decision by world leaders after World War Two.
The Arabs have bitterly disagreed but by choosing violence to protest have made Israel into a world power out of its need to survive.
Now as more Arab nations seek more peaceful solutions comes Hamas, with no allies, save Iran.
Their tactics have guaranteed the deaths of its own citizens, many of which are deliberately used as targets so as to engender world sympathy.
Hamas is evil. Arabs shun it. Israel, as it has done for 75 years, will do what it needs to survive.
That you are quick to loftily lament name-calling by other members here and yet so proud of yourself when you do it. Because you do not really object to the name calling you just find it convenient to raise when you are cornered.And your point is what?
He is fat and his name is Albert. And I first called him that after the Bodega affair.
As did many others.
Alvin. Not Albert.
Funny how quick you are to loftily lament name-calling by other members here and yet so proud of yourself when you do it.

I am not arguing anyone is a good guy. Not after 76 years of eye for eye. I am saying the UN ignoring the right to self-determination for the Palestinians has created an untenable situation. And Israelis are about as far from blameless as the Palestinians are.Hardly.

Yeah, it is an insult you unveiled here the day after Trump unveiled it in a speech in New Jersey. That is a fact you ignore because it is inconvenient for you.With 18 per cent inflation, tossing favors Willynilly to his voting base, a foreign policy worse than Obama, he better hope Fat Albert delivers a guilty verdict in New York or Biden will be a one timer.Bragg wore the meme long before Trump used it.
Not content with just voting for Trump, Red is now parroting Trump's "brutal" insults.
And it is hardly a racial epithet.
The original Fat Albert was a Bill Cosby created cartoon character that was very popular with his friends, one of whom was called Dumb Donald.imagine that.
But your post is typical of you. You stand for nothing so nothing you say is believable.
So you complete your garbage with lies .
That way you can ignore facts which are inconvenient for you.
November 29, 1947: The UN General Assembly passes UN Resolution 181, which calls for the partition of Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state.If only what? They had agreed to having the UN take their and and divide it up in clear violation of the UN"s stated principle of self-determination and which dispossessed their people of their lands and homes? Palestinians were 60% of the population and owned 90% of the land, and were being forced from half of it. Of COURSE they fucking objected. So would you. And despite the 76 years sine the partition, you would still be pissed about it to this day.
November 30, 1947: Palestinian Arabs ambush a bus carrying Jewish passengers near Lod (Lydda), an attack often cited as the start of the civil war in Palestine.
December 2, 1947: The Arab Higher Committee, the leading organizer of the Palestinian Arab nationalist movement in Jerusalem, announces a three-day strike against the partition plan. Riots break out in the city, and violence between Arabs and Jews escalates.

Well there you go.
Simple really.
If only...
Oh well, they didn't, so the wars began.

Greenland is a nice place to celebrate Passover and Chanukah, kibbutz ready and close to North American and European markets.Or Sitka. I really wish the Coens had gone through with making that movie.
So you support genocide - or at least the threat of it - for Palestinians?Because they want to live.What makes you think the Palestinians would accept the mass deportation from their homeland?No other Arab Nation would take them unless Hamas is wiped off the earth.So your only problem with "From the river to the sea" is who is chanting it. Good to know there are some genocides you support.You are arguing that Israel should create an Israel "from the river to the sea".Which is quite sensibly the last thing Israel wants. Unless they want to paint huge concentric red circles on the backs of the overseers and inspectors.Wouldn't a "Palestinian state...run and secured by Israel" actually be Israel?
Not necessarily.
Think of it as 'overseen', 'inspected'.
Well a two state solution is what the US, the UN, and most everyone else are in favour of.
The pro-Palestine protesters worldwide seem to hate the Jews/Israel and want them gone, with a new state of Palestine being "from the river to the sea". They are demanding it all.
That's one solution, with the Palestinians relocated to Muslim Arab nations.QuoteProblem with that idea is that no Muslim Arab nation seems to want them.Your ignorance of history is boundless. Something like 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes in 1948. Why would, or should, they accept a solution that normalized and approved that? Would Australia? Would anyone?
If the US abandons Israel because it won't accept redrawn boundaries in a two state solution, from where will Israel then get its weapons for self defence?
There was a two state solution in 1948, but the Palestinians never accepted that, so they probably won't accept it today.QuoteLooks like the perpetual war continues...no solutions possible.Not if you take subjugation of Palestinians as a starting point.
Relocating Palestinians to other Muslim Arab nations would not be genocide.
75 years is nothing. Ask the Irish. Or my wife's people. Or any action with a history of colonialism. And the world for the Palestinians in Gaza has not changed. They are reminded daily.QuoteThey are already pissed about the part they were expelled from in 1948.the Arab world of 2024 is 75 years removed from the 1948 decisision. Times have changed even if you have not noticed.
They only matter if they reject Hamas.
The only reason to think that deporting Palestinians is a "solution" is if you do not think they matter as human beings at all.
