please be sure of what you repeat....the Palestinians were trampling each other; and the Hamas were shooting them to get to the supplies. Hamas will use any way to cause lies about Israel.....Hamas wants to keep the supplies from the Palestinians...Israel wants the Palestinians to get supplies
Netanyahu is committing genocide in Gaza. He should be removed from office, but the far-right Israeli parties are in agreement with him and are protecting him.
Yes, what Hamas did on 7 October was horrible. But the response has been disproportionate to the Hamas attack. Over 30,000 Palestinians, almost all of whom were innocent people, plus hostages, plus members of international agencies, have been killed by the IDF.
Yes, Israel has the right to self defense. All nations do. Even Palestinians. But a legitimate response to a terrorist attack can go far beyond what is necessary to stop the threat posed by Hamas. Enough is enough. It is time for this to end. It's time for Netanyahu to be removed from power and tried for crimes against humanity.
The question has always been "what's Israel's endgame." Where does it stop. At the moment it looks as if their endgame is to bomb Gaza back to the stone age. And there doesn't seem like there is a thing Biden can do about it, except maybe to withhold money until Israel stops murdering civilians.
there is NO BOMBING in Gaza; just trying to find and save the innocent hostages....why does everyone forget the atrocities that were committed against The Israelis???
Hamas killed around 1400 people. Israel has killed around 30,000, or 20 people for each one Hamas killed. Where's the proportionality of that? Bombs aren't only dropped from airplanes, they can be launched from artillery. Israel shows no indication that they will stop until all Palestinians are pushed into Egypt or the sea.
Hamas/Palistinians did more than kill Israelis; they tortured them and sexually attacked and raped, and beheaded and kidnapped people of all ages and medical conditions....The people who died in Gaza did not care one bit about anyone's lives. The supported the murder and torture of innocents in Israel...They cheered an jeered when they saw the mutilated and destroyed bodies dragged into Gaza....Israel warned the populace of Gaza when the Israeli forces came in to destroy Hamas and the Hamas arms. The number of people killed in Gaza is still to be determined. Many were violent members of Hamas.
which the USA should absolutely be doing. I mean, we send the 4 billion a year as it is. They have universal free health care, living wages, free education and no homelessness.....and why?
Oh yeah! WE , the American Taxpayer, PAID FOR ALL OF THAT-FOR THEM! Our Congress, though, tell us it cannot be done here, not for us. It's sickening!
You know, don't you, that the 'money' that Israel gets isn't really theirs to spend on whatever they want, right? Those funds are turned around and used to support the military arms industry here in the good old US of A. It's not used for anything else in Israel. It props up our defense industry.
You know, don't you, that we let Israel do whatever they please? You think they have accounting for the money we send every year since the 50s? Hell! The Pentagon cannot even account for the money they get....look at Gaza right now, do you really think Israel is going to be held accountable? They spend that money however they see fit and we sit there and go "Oh ok" just like we are doing right now! I think you are looking at it through rose colored glasses!
OT update on the dizzy feeling--it was really minor for most of the morning, and I sipped some mineral water and that helped. Then it came back with a vengeance for about 15 minutes where I was walking like I was on rough seas, so I had more water and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I was better within the hour.
I'm thinking I somehow just got myself into a low blood sugar situation? I didn't eat all that much or well yesterday, and had some candy (which I almost never have), so maybe that was it.
Watkins has personal experience with Christian Nationalism (sorry, Andra) and if you watch the "parental rights"/Moms For Liberty beat (like I do fulltime. Heavy sigh.) it's worth bringing this one back from June: The hidden agenda behind the so-called Parents' Rights push.
Agree! I will sometimes lock my purse in the trunk of my car when I'm touring a botanic garden, doing short hikes, or similar outside activity. But my ID, credit cards, keys, and phone are always with me.
Rebecca, I think I may have *gained* a couple IQ points, what with finally, well into middle age, starting on the adhd meds I should apparently have been taking my whole life.
On today's episode of Terrified Wypipo With Shotguns: Kevin Monahan's house out in the sticks of upstate NY is up a long, winding driveway. One night an SUV made a wrong turn, and realizing their (soon to be fatal) error, tried to turn around. Ol' Kevin, doubtlessly trying to act out some right-wing movie super-hero fantasy, reacted to the retreating car by just blastin' away with his shotgun from the porch. Claimed he believed the house was "under siege" from...some fever dream or other, whatevs.
Fatally shot a 20 year old girl in the neck, as she sat in the passenger seat next to her boyfriend.
In a somewhat encouraging turn, this fucker just got 25-to-life, and called out for showing no remorse. Womp fuckin' womp.
MSM is going all both-sides about PAB and Biden visiting the border. One of these people is a PAB, currently out of office. Also a wannabe fascist dictator and blatant racist. He was going on about immigrants constituting an "invasion." The other person is the current President and not like that. Biden has actually placed some quite severe restrictions on immigration, which of course he is not getting any credit for, because he's not punishing immigrants enough and is actually letting some brown people enter the U.S.
MSM gonna MSM, but sometimes reality pokes through noise & sounds like that Jess Tarlov (?) Fox reporter @ border advocating OHJB border policies & attempts thwarted by R’s &! calling out Judge BW’s BS on FIX … FOX… Reality signaling through noise is encouraging at least? Maybe… these are Interesting Times 💯
I lost my IQ points when MSM decided wall to wall glowing GQP coverage was the way to win the hearts and minds of America. So some time during the Reagan admin?
They're going to kill us; there is a genocide coming, that's the end game. Project 2025 wants to declare being queer "inherently pornographic", then make pornography illegal so they can arrest every queer person. They're going to put us in camps, and then they're going to kill us.
I thought that during the Bush years. It's never really been far from my mind (I was just old enough to vote "oh god no" for Kerry) since. I've resolved that if they want me dead they're going to have to do it themselves, and that I will not be covering up, going under, detransitioning (I'm not sure I even could, believably), straightening out, or otherwise laying my hand to the shovel for my grave beforehand. Of course I hope that it doesn't happen, or failing that, that they just shoot me, because once I miss an injection on my immunomodulator the clock starts ticking, and untreated Crohn's is a messy way to go.
Most of the people calling for the un-aliving of the gays, like the evangelical Christian nationalist Fascist preachers, want the government to do the un-aliving. They don't have the balls to personally off a gay.
10/10 on doing this. They *love* it. Don't forget to order that USian pasta favorite oar-cheddar, and be sure to confirm with the chef that they make an authentic Carbonara, with peas, ham and heavy cream. Haven't had as much fun since I traveled to China and tried to find the real General Tso's Chicken and "crab" rangoons.

Also, possibly, MS.
Kinda.
Eventually.

check your "middle ear."
Proof that PB&J will cure almost anything..
Seriously tho, be safe and well.
No witty tab for this one right here, cuz it should just get out there. Out today at Salon, this from Andra Watkins on the Xtian Nash vanifesto that is Project 2025: https://www.salon.com/2024/03/01/project-2025-is-more-than-a-playbook-for-trumpism-its-the-christian-nationalist-manifesto/

A thing that confuses me about the Bobert Young Adult story: who keeps their credit cards and passport in their car??
Agree! I will sometimes lock my purse in the trunk of my car when I'm touring a botanic garden, doing short hikes, or similar outside activity. But my ID, credit cards, keys, and phone are always with me.
Your Fun!

I like zero of those red accents. The red square art in the white room looks like a fire call box.
Anyway, red isn't just red! This spoken by someone who for 10 years is STILL trying to find a perfect red lipstick.
As a person who decorated with ALL THE RED until my 40s, aren't they poorly done?

Can confirm: this is actually realistic, not overly dramatic. Keep your eyes open, or umm...stay woke, as we used to be able to say.
When in Venice, I find it helpful to correct the locals' pronunciation of Italian words to the proper Americanized versions of said words.
