No, I think Hamas really means it, but could change its position down the road.
As the PLO did.

The stated goal of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad is to conquer Israel and replace it with an Islamist state.

This is who you support.

 

[Hamilton Samuels]

There was violence on both sides.

There are some "very fine people, on both sides."


Right, genius?

We’ve All Been There

You know how it is. One minute you’re innocently walking down the street, minding your own business, and then suddenly you’ve thrown a Molotov cocktail into a police car and destroyed it. Could happen to anyone:

A terribly sad story. Two young and idealistic lawyers, get wrapped up in the BLM protest movement. In a moment of madness they throw a Molotov cocktail into an abandoned police car and burn it. Now they face a minimum 35 years in a federal prison.

The Making of a Molotov Cocktail
 Two lawyers, a summer of unrest, and a bottle of Bud Light.

It’s an audacious choice to pause in front of an Applebee’s restaurant on Flatbush Avenue and grant an impromptu interview to a video journalist shortly before you allegedly throw a Molotov cocktail into a police car.
 But the city was out of its collective mind that night, the Friday after the Monday George Floyd was killed.
Urooj Rahman faced the camera looking high-strung and distracted, answering questions as her hands waved and flitted around her body and in front of her face as if they were birds escaping from a box.

Rahman emigrated from Pakistan when she was 4 and now lives with her elderly mother in Bay Ridge; she works as an attorney at Legal Services in the Bronx, representing tenants without means in eviction proceedings. “This shit won’t ever stop unless we fucking take it all down,” she said. “We’re all in so much pain from how fucked up this country is toward Black lives. This has got to stop, and the only way they hear us is through violence, through the means that they use. ‘You got to use the master’s tools.’ That’s what my friend always says.”

Wrong!
The only way to stop it, and be heard,... is thru Peace, love and the law.

Peace never gets to "and be heard."

NEVER.

Just the weest bit of overreach.

Doesn't matter whether I approve of this order or disapprove of that order.

He doesn't have the power to make this happen - or at least, under any prior SCOTUS he didn't. I don't think he will this time, either.

So then Nancy and Chuck should sue.
I’m sure Americans will be proud of them denying everyday folks help in a pandemic.

I wonder how eliminatng payroll taxes (for people that are actually working) which funds SS and Mediscare (I'm keeping it as it works-heh) will play with seniors particulalry in the swing states?

and I'm sure the lower and middle class will surely appreciate lower capital gains taxes.

Motherfucker is looting the treasury before he gets run out of town.

He's a piece of shit.

A Red's kind of guy.

I don't support Hamas.
You're being incredibly dishonest by saying I do.

I don't support the Palestinian Authority or the PLO.
I do support the Palestinian people.

“For what could very well be the most important job on Earth, Biden has decided to hire exclusively on the basis of qualities that are both immutable and completely irrelevant—race and gender. And that’s it. But wait a second, you ask, isn’t that insulting? Isn’t it wrong? Isn’t it probably illegal? Yes, it is all three of those things.”

Peace never gets to "and be heard."

NEVER.

Peace does get heard...in the courts, legislatures. Laws are made by elected officials.
Thurgood Marshall showed it clearly.

Trouble with the BLM protests...some elected officials seem to think that the violence was/ is good.

Look where violence got the two young lawyers...their whole lives ruined...if only they'd stayed home.

He would never have been where he was if the Black folks in America had practiced what you preach.

I am done talking to you, as many have advised me.

Do you disagree with me, Ward?

It's a pretty simple question.

And McConnell ought to sue, too.

[bambu.]

Among the list of things I hate...is:

Minimum sentences...so cruel.

Minimum 35 years in federal prison for tossing a Molotov cocktail into an abandoned, already damaged police car?
Ridiculously harsh.

America's sentences for some crimes, breaches of the law, are way too harsh.
Horribly harsh.
