"9 Palestinians dead and 20 injured"..... (in an IDF ground raid in Gaza targeting jihadist militants planning attacks on Israel)...screams the headline today.
"In a 3 hour gun battle" the report continues.

Excuse me!    3 hour gun battle?

Hardly "innocent Palestinian civilians"!

Getting invaded can turn you into a combatant pretty quickly.

Report continues..."young men, seeing no future in occupation, burnt tires and threw rocks at Isreali troops".

Israelis are fighting now for their very existence...the majority of the world seemingly cheering for "free Palestine", and seemingly supporting the attacks on Israel as part of "the struggle" (sounds like the IRA and Northern Ireland).

Actually, that is a good analogy on how being made into a refugee and second class citizen in your own land can echo down through time. And how to end it. Because...

Irish America seemed to lose its desire for funding and supporting the IRA, when it got a taste of what terrorism is like first hand on 9/11.

Your time line and attempted causal connection are utter bull shit.

Their own land?

He who has the best weapons/army rules Palestine...it has ever been so.
This time around it's not the current "Palestinians".

He who has the best weapons/army rules has always been, everywhere in the world.
Guns beat spears.

What, precisely, is your problem with Hamas, then? They are using the weapons at their disposal, after all.

*

Strategically situated between three continents, the region of Palestine (also known as the Land of Israel and the Holy Land) has a tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics. Palestine is the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, and has been controlled by many kingdoms and powers, including Ancient Egypt, Ancient Israel and Judah, the Persian Empire, Alexander the Great and his successors, the Hasmoneans, the Roman Empire, several Muslim caliphates, and the crusaders.
In modern times, the area was ruled by the Ottoman Empire, then the British Empire and since 1948 it has been divided into Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.

I am sure you needed the history lesson.

Hamas, a terrorist organisation, who would kill me in an instant given the chance, likely cook me alive in a bread oven, can and will, do whatever it likes.
You have a problem with Israel's reply to its barbaric attacks on Jews in Israel, I don't.

I needed the exact history, I'm a long way from the Middle East.

You did not get one yet.

Close enough.
Maybe the Zionist militias thought Palestine was being taken over by Muslims.

Dig a little deeper. What percentage of the population was Muslim at the time of the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the Great War? At the time of the UN mandate in 1948?

Maybe they just wanted somewhere safe for the Holocaust surviving Jews to live.
Who knows.

Actually, we do know. Again, dig deeper.

I know one thing...in the here and now, all invading Israel and massacring Jews is going to get you is exactly what there is today.
Even someone with only 1/4 of their brain working should know that.

But those with more see more.

If the Palestinians today thought their Arab friends in nations near and far would take them in as refugees, seems they were sorely mistaken.
Hamas has caused all their problems...they keep electing Hamas to rule them...bad choice.

You focus on October 7 out of context

Interesting how Israel doing "whatever is necessary" (see today's eye opening report from Amnesty International) to defend its interests is held to be above criticism. 

Israel is above criticism?
It killed 500 Palestinians according to the NewYork Times, Washington Post, the AP, MSNBC, and the entire democrat contingent to Congress.

Liar.  I read AP and WaPo.  Both reported the explosion, and that Hamas claimed it was an Israeli attack, and that it was being investigated.

LOL  Not at first. Eventually when real news sources investigated they got the story right.

Liar. They reported it as a Hamas claim, which is accurate.

Which, of course,is the problem..

There were 13.2 million people employed in Texas in 2020, a 17.1 percent rise from 2010 according to data from the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics. By employment levels, restaurants, education, and health care are the three largest industries in the state. Feb 4, 2023

-----------

While I would recommend Battle Mountain, Nevada, for the refugees, they all appear to be going to Texas, Texas is the fastest growing state, and the jobs seem to be in food, education, and health care.

So, the Baby Boomers in Texas can have beautiful blonde nurses from Ukraine at the hospitals.

I would recommend pig farming outside of Battle Mountain, Nevada, and then selling pork and bacon to San Francisco, you can sell pork to China Town in San Francisco, etc.

But, you can raise pork and beef and chicken in Texas too, and they can supply the restaurants with food, etc. And I read that Texas is growing grapes and is making wine now, the Texas wine is supposed to be good wine, I wish them the best with that. Texas can sell cheap wine to Chicago and Detroit and to Saint Louis, etc.

And yes Bambu, it would be great if Australia could sell more wine to China, that would be awesome, Australia can send wine and beef and other good stuff to China, and in return China can send Australia solar panels, etc.

On the issue of helping the refugees, it is not human trafficking when UNICEF and Kiwanis International and when the Catholic Church, etc, helps the poor refugees to reach safe new homes. Charity and human kindness is not human trafficking. Kiwanis is great, and UNICEF is great, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Go the Republicans!
Republicans strike back to protect their state and America!

Youtube:

"BREAKING: Gov. Sarah Sanders Announces Chinese State-Owned Company Must Give Up"

give up land. Seed co. The lovely and wise Sarah explains perfectly...as does her Attorney General.
Go Arkansas!

Sky News:

"Pro-Hamas Harvard students cop backlash".

#####

No surprise.
Would anyone want students like that in their organisations?

"Palestinian protesters storm Capitol building".
LOL
What a joke.
Jan 6 minus Viking horns.

Terrorists have eyes!
One day, if security at the Capitol is not made absolute, terrorists will simply storm it, and blow it to bits.

As luck would have it, today's protesters were not terrorists - suicide bombers, military level bombers...in disguise.

Bambu, you were last terrorized by a goldfish. Before that it was a butterfly.

Bill Maher,
 Do not Go to an Elite College Like I Did,
They are Bigoted North Korean Re-Education Camps
That Make You Dumb


As an Ivy League graduate who knows the value of a liberal education, I have one piece of advice for the youth of America, Do not go to college, and if you absolutely have to go, do not go to an elite college, because, as recent events have shown, it just makes you stupid.
There are few, if any, positives to come out of what happened in Israel, but one of them is opening American eyes to how higher education has become indoctrination into a stew of bad ideas, among them the simplistic notion that the world is a binary place where everyone either an oppressor or oppressed.
In the case of Israel, oppressors being babies and bubbes.
The same students who will tell you that words are violence, and silence is violence were very supportive when Hamas terrorists went on a rape and murder rampage worthy of the Vikings. They knew where to point the fingers, at the murdered.
And then it was off to ethics class.

My mind is terrorised by terrorists.
If the Capitol building is not secured absolutely...terrorists ...will...blow it up, just like they did to the twin towers.
Hijacked commercial airliners, mind you, and flew them into the buildings...and into the Pentagon!

Blowing up an unsecured Capitol building, the way things are now, would be simple even for trainee terrorists.
The movies "White House Down" and "Olympus Has Fallen" are indicative.

You'd think that given what happened before, yesterday's invasion of the Capitol building would've been impossible.
Obviously not.
Honestly, some people in charge of securing America are obviously asleep (and I don't mean Joe).
Asleep, dozing at the wheel.
Sleeping on the job.

Well there you go!

Seems about correct.

[bambu.]

Israel has not occupied Gaza militarily since 2005....though it has kept tight control of it.
Given recent events, obviously not tight enough.
Israel was tricked by the terrorists in Gaza. Israel thought its security was absolute...it wasn't.
That needs to be fixed, properly.

[facilitatorn]

How does one keep tight control without a degree of occupation? Asking for a friend.

You cannot live your life with the mummified cock of Raygun up your ass without hating education.

The central pillar of reaganomics was to destroy the education system and national fabric that won the Cold War in order to degrade the population into dupes and victims to be cannibalized by the wealthy so they can get more of their depraved jollies off as we see them doing more and more each day.

Red likes to find ways to attack education and the social fabric though he is a victim and a dupe who will live forever impoverished in terms of brains, values, love and genuine self esteem.
