They must have avoided the nice areas.

It looks like that place has been in a war.

Where is the genocide?

Oh...

Hamas is bad, so starving and killing a bunch of Palestinian kids, doctors, journalists, and aid workers isn’t a genocide.

Should we discuss the direct quotes of people like Ben-Gvir? Or list all of the Israeli war crimes?

Or perhaps just welcome Bibi to the U.S. with open arms?

While it's pretty clear that Israel has committed atrocities against the Palestinian people, it is fair to debate whether those atrocities have risen to the level of genocide or not.

Back to Baldy's original post, celebrating a wedding is a sign of human endurance not proof that there was no famine, death suffering.

It’s certainly debatable. Baldy apparently is offended by my opinion but has trouble backing it up.
Section 1091 of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits genocide whether committed in time of peace or time of war. Genocide is defined in § 1091 and includes violent attacks with the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. There is Federal jurisdiction if the offense is committed within the United States. There is also Federal extraterritorial jurisdiction when the offender is a national of the United States.

As usual libs of chinese spying app is embellishing to the point of lying ...

Thailand & Cambodia
Phone calls from trump helped but mediation from Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and a delegation of Chinese negotiators played a greater role.

India & Pakistan
India says trump played no role.

Serbia & Kosovo
Haven't been involved in a live conflict. If they had, the EU and NATO have always been key mediators.

Egypt & Ethiopia
Have had tense relations but have not been involved in an actual war.

This is definitely a W for trump. An adult should be able to acknowledge something like that regardless of their feelings about trump (or whoever has accomplished the W).

It’s a positive step for you.

Also adults are not offended by Donald Trump. It’s the little spoiled brats, the Twitter punks, and the self appointed geniuses that are somehow offended. :nod:

If biden had done something momentous during his term, say negotiating a peace agreement between Ukraine and russia:
1) Would you be able to say the same (this is definitely a W) about biden?
2) Would trump be able to say the same (this is definitely a W) about biden?

This is a hypothetical situation so "biden couldn't have done such a thing" is not an answer. It's either yes, I could or no, I couldn't and yes, trump could or no, trump, couldn't.

If I wanted your opinion, I'd just read Mehdi Hasan's Twitter feed. :lol:

Hamas is the only "army" in the world that takes off their uniforms when the fighting starts and puts them back on again when the fighting stops. They willingly use civilians as human shields by firing rockets, artillery, and mortars from highly populated civilian areas. They purposely store their weapons inside and under hospitals, schools, and other civilian infrastructure.

Yeah, Hamas is "bad". :roll:
