Trump is not cool in Israel. Neither is Bibi.

It would not surprise me if he knew and let it happen as a way to wage war and get the heat off his quest to ruin the judiciary and end the protests against him.

Everyone wants Trump to shut up but Trump, which is too bad because the one Trump is hurting overall the most is himself. He will never see it that way nor will his worshipers and so he won't ever stop.

There’s no likely solution to this which doesn’t involve massive death and destruction. The only possibility which could work would be negotiation from Day One, and what are the fucking odds of that?!?

"75% saying the government holds most of the responsibility" OK but there doesn't seem to be any brief at all for TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. ttps://www.discoverypoint.com/blog/teaching-children-to-take-responsibility-for-their-actions/

Teaching Children to Take Responsibility for Their Actions

Are you tired of your child’s excuses? If they never seem to take responsibility for their own actions, it may be time to teach them about accountability. It’s natural for us to want to shift the blame onto others to avoid negative consequences. However, at some point we have to learn this behavior won’t get us anywhere we want to go. … Creating a culture of accountability for your family won’t happen overnight. It takes time for everyone to learn there are real repercussions for their actions.

Start By Controlling Your Own Reactions

When your child makes an excuse for their behavior and insists something isn’t their fault, don’t feed into the power struggle by debating your own views. Always respond calmly, and avoid engaging in any kind of argument. Remember, this is a learning opportunity, not a court case. 

By maintaining a calm demeanor even in these more frustrating situations, you’ll make it a lot easier for your child to come forward with the truth ...

Galant referred to Hamas as animals, not the Palestinians. Every progressive was taught to repeat ‘Hamas isn’t the Palestinians’ (though every Hamas member is, and Hamas has massive Palestinian support). If so, let’s take him at his word that he’s talking about Hamas and not all Palestinians. No Israeli official said that. Are Hamas not animals? I’ll take any definition someone else has for what their death squads did.

Your statement about Hamas, having massive Palestinian support is in grave error, and a supposition which reality does not support reality .Aside from that, we know that the majority of Israelis support the federal government. That is how you win elections. They are the perpetrators of crimes against humanity and attempted genocide. Far worse and the original instigator of terror.

Unbelievable that the Zionist have brainwashed people into thinking being anti-human rights, violations, and anti-crimes against humanity is somehow, anti-Semitic!

Expand full comment

What federal government, you ignorant jackass. Are you imagining that Israel is part of the US or Australia? Which 'federal government'?

If you aren't aware that Hamas literally has genocide on its charter, and in its actual actions (look at the news, the videos they proudly publish), then you're deeply clueless. People that yammer that zionism is racism or whatever else, are antisemitic lunatics.

Your Cyrillic to English software needs a serious update if you don’t understand my remarks concerning the Israeli federal government. STFU about atrocities! Anyone that equates denouncing crimes against humanity with ANTI SEMITISM isn’t worth the effort to refute or the powder to blow them up. Go away.

One last thing. I hate to break it to you, but this was an obvious Netanyahu false flag. There are only three people that benefit from this. BB, Trump and Putin. Hamas nor the Palestinian people certainly didn’t. BB Netanyahu is the greatest terrorist on planet earth right now. The morally bankrupt thievery, and grift of Trump and the casual Soulless murder of innocent non participants. You need to learn something about the topic before you speak on it. It will make you appear infinitely smarter and much less unannounced agenda driven

NOT A SINGLE Palestinian HAS EVER FORCEFULLY CONFISCATED AN ISRAELI FAMILY HOME! FORCED THE POPULATION INTO A VIRTUAL CAGE. ATTEMPTED TO BLOCK THE IMPORTATION OF BASIC ITEMS NEEDED TO SURVIVE.

You truly are an ignorant fool. At the end of the civil war in 1948, there were hundreds of thousands of Palestinians on the Israeli side, who eventually became Israeli citizens. On the Arab side, not a single Jew remained, ethnically cleansed out of places they've lived for hundreds of years continuously. For 19 years they weren't even allowed to pray in the old city of Jerusalem, where they were the majority before. Also during that period of time, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt owned the entire Gaza strip and West Bank, yet failed to create a Palestinian state.

And now? We see what your Palestinian liberation looks like - a genocide of all Jews in the country, as was show by Palestinian death squads.

Your "open air jail" is also a fucking joke. What jail gets filled up with tens of thousands of rockets and Russian antitank missiles, assault rifles, heavy machine guns, mortars? That "jail" has a border with Egypt, which is open most of the time now. Israel doesn't owe any entrance to people who wish to kill its citizens. Maybe you were living under a rock these last 8 days, but that's what happened when Gazans freely flowed into Israel - murder, torture, rape, kidnapping, looting. That's your Gazans given the opportunity to not have a wall separating the border with Israel. So what are you talking about. You have a problem with the Gazan poverty, complain to pro Palestinian shits who let Hamas off the hook for anything. Israel just completed years of appeasing Hamas (Bibi is a fucking moron strategically, but that's beside the point). Qatari blood money came in freely. Tens of thousands of Gazans crossed the same border Hamas poured in through, to work in Israel every day. So STFU about your "cage" lie. Stop eating idiotic propaganda, or at least get your facts right, you old fool.

Jails that the jailer looks the other way. Putin and Netanyahu, or in on this together. Mossad is the finest intelligence agency on the planet. You think they somehow didn’t notice this? Your ignorance is an Olympic medal stand worthy.

"Practicing genocide" means what? There are millions more Palestinians now than when they got unfortunately added in 1967, there are millions of Arab citizens of Israel, Israel is far more diverse than any other country in the middle east, what genocide. What universe do you live in that you swallow such patently wrong, easy to identify pro Palestinian propaganda.

It's a rhetorical distinction without an operational difference. While most (pro-Israeli) public figures say that Hamas and Palestinians are separate entities and should be treated as such, we all know they don't. When the IDF drops its bombs and sends in its tanks, the killing is indiscriminate. As IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said: “The emphasis is on damage, not precision.”

The ONLY time they ever say anything remotely critical of Trump is when they can criticize him for not being enough of an orthodox right-winger. And for all the effect it has on the base, they might as well say it in Chinese. Trump's fans like reality shows, he's a reality-show star, they see this election as the ultimate reality show, and they don't give a crap about "issues."

Daughters in the patient's room (also from out of town) - classic Karens who think me and the rest of the nursing staff are their servants. I work evening shift so when I am in the room Hannity is on - I AM A YEAR OLDER THAN HANNITY - to me he looks so old (he's only 61).

He seems to have aged quite a bit in the past year as well. I never watch, but it seems to me he used to have steel grey hair, not the white-grey mop he's sporting now.

This is the same "news" organization that told us a 1 Trillion Dollar platinum coin would weigh as much as 89 blue whales...

This is the same "news" organization that today, right this moment, has a story about the 1918 Flu pandemic with the following quote: "Known as the deadliest in history, the 1918 flu pandemic — also referred to as the Spanish flu — killed an estimated 50 million people, or one-fifth of the world’s population."

with just a cursory glance at teh googlez, it would seem that the world population in 1918 was approximately 1,800,000,000 and that the flu killed in the neighborhood of 1% of the world population. Even the highest estimate of deaths was less than 5%

They lie, every day, every minute, every way, for one thing. To scare old wipipo and make money.

huh? Spanish flu? surely they mean the Kansas flu?

Expand full comment

Fun trivia fact: It was referred to as the "Spanish flu", even though Spain had a LOWER occurrence of the flu, because Spain was the only country whose newspapers covered it.

The rest of the world was rah-rah for WWI, and they didn't want to distract from that.

Fun fact. The Spanish Flu was part of WW1. In fact it was a war crime by, amongst others, the Americans on Americans.

even more fun is how VERY bad they are at math, geography and googlez... here is a quote if you search for US Population in 1918:

"103 million

The estimated population of the United States on 1 July 1918 was some 103 million (Linder and Grove 1943), so approximately 0.5 percent of the US population died as a result of the epidemic. Worldwide, the death toll is generally put at 20 million."

that means that they don't know that the world population does not equal the US population, and that they are dumb enough to think that 0.5 percent equates to 1/5 of the GLOBE gyahhhhh run buy some gold, hide from teh browns!
