---Israel, Hamas agree to cease-fire to end bloody 11-day war---

The Ayatollahs must be ecstatic so many mujahedeen  followed their lead and dove into suicidal battle. In the old days every Arab nation would join in, now Egypt is the peace mediator.

---Biden pledges to rebuild Gaza, resupply Israel’s Iron Dome---

3.  When someone shoots up a temple,  it's a violent hate crime.  But when people with badges pull an injured black man from a car and beat him to death,  oh no,  no hate crime there.   No racial bias.  THEY HAD BADGES.  When an ex-sheriff deputy tries to detain a black jogger and then kills him,  oh no,  not a hate crime.   The guy was JOGGING SUSPICIOUSLY!  HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN A FINE UPSTANDING CITIZEN SO DON'T BELIEVE THE MANY PEOPLE WHO SAID HE WAS AND MISS WHAT HE BROUGHT TO THEIR LIVES!   


Stop already..... you embarass yourself.  Nobody feels this way.

Re the outcry on temple shooting versus outcry on police killing unarmed people (disproportionately BIPoC): it is so loud because we are raised to believe that police are supposed to uphold the law and protect citizens and respond in a proportionate way to situations,  acting as professionals who are impartial with regards to any person's race,  creed,  or socioeconomic class.   These acts are especially provoking because they seem to be a shocking rejection of duty.  For some people who've led sheltered lives,  and really weren't paying attention,  it's like learning Mayberry replaced Don Knotts with a Chilean-style death squad.   And those folks won't march in the streets over cracker bigots shooting up churches and temples because they don't see that as much of a threat to the Republic.   

People,  sadly, get used to nuts with guns.   Cops who execute:  harder to get used to.

Hasn't the job of law enforcement changed over the decades?  I am not sure you can equate today with what you were brought up to believe the job was.

Looks like one more night hospital and it’s to a rehab facility.

More metal to set off airport security

Good luck and godspeed.   Ask for the "special" sponge bath!

Read Uno's posts from yesterday.  That was what he was saying.   Cops don't commit hate crimes.   Blacks deserve what they get and contributed nothing to their community.
Jewish victims are good citizens.   The media should focus on them because they contribute.  It's all there in his racist drivel.

Heh

You put something out there - don't ask anyone to ignore you.

You don't need to take an extreme side on everything - just a bit of kind advice.

And while we are at it, let's consider that the vast majority of hate crimes in this country do not involve African Americans or Muslim Americans, but are instead directed towards Jewish Americans.

According to 2018 FBI data: Jews were 2.7 times more likely than blacks, 2.2 times more likely than Muslims to be hate crime victims.

Jewish Lives Matter.

And the percentages even higher in last 6 months, as it is for Asians

Not saying you are doing so - but likening a kid who shoots up a black church to every man in uniform that uses any kind of force is dangerous.

Posts that just comment on personalities but don't engage with the topic are the most ignorable of all.  If calliing out Uno's racist comparison between black lives and Jewish lives is "extreme," then sign me up for extreme, Barry Goldwater!

Hey, Bart, Kid just told you that the thing you didn't say, that he's not saying you said, is dangerous!  Ya been trolled.



I know Larry (?) already posted David Brooks on his interview with Biden, but I want to post it again, because it's really a useful window into where Biden came from, politically, and the distinction between Stevenson democrats and Truman democrats.

Having nothing to do with extreme vs non extreme...

What was racist about it?  What was incorrect?

I liked this part the most.


Biden told Brooks ....” people who take the big risks to generate wealth should reap the big rewards."

Common sense, but nice to see he agrees.
