Re: Israel-Palestine Drama Thread
I won’t defend their ideological inconsistencies but to even suggest Israel could do better gets calls of anti-semitism. AOC at least appears to be condemning violence perpetrated by both sides.
"Today is devastating for all those seeking a lasting peace and respect for human rights in Israel and Palestine," Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a statement Saturday. "I condemn Hamas' attack in the strongest possible terms.
"No child and family should ever endure this kind of violence and fear, and this violence will not solve the ongoing oppression and occupation in the region."

Re: Israel-Palestine Drama Thread
When you’re outgunned, you play a geo-political game, sacrificing innocents, to remain at the table I guess.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/ ... tid=Zxz2cZEven as the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel was at war with Hamas and the other Gaza factions, it is important to understand what Hamas’s military aims did not include. Hamas fights its periodic conflicts for political reasons, to shore up support in Gaza and elsewhere and to ensure its continuing relevance.
Hamas’s military leadership is aware of its own capabilities. Taking and holding ground in Israel is far beyond its reach. As the kidnapping and killing of Israeli civilians makes clear, this is an operation that was designed both to terrorise and to have as wide an international audience as possible.
And while the proximate causes of Israeli-Palestinian violence are always urgent and important, not least decades of occupation, what appears key to the timing of this assault is the wider context in the region, not least the ongoing US-brokered normalisation between Israel and Saudi Arabia that has been gathering pace recently.

Re: Israel-Palestine Drama Thread
Israel deserves some criticism. As I've posted, they're 40-60% responsible for what's going on. I take exception with the zealots who want to put 100% (or 0%) of the blame on Israel.kalm wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2023 6:09 amI won’t defend their ideological inconsistencies but to even suggest Israel could do better gets calls of anti-semitism.

Don't tell me it's because conservatives like strongmen bullies. Historically conservatives have been opposed to nations that are rivals/adversaries like russia and china and many of them have been led by strongmen bullies like Stalin and Mao.
I think it's because trump has hijacked the conservative cause and he looks out for what is best for him and his crime family. He sees the potential to profit from his relationship with russia and putin so he puts American interests aside and pursues what is best for him. His MAGAt yahoo worshippers dutifully follow. MAGAt yahoos are not pro-America, they're pro-trump.

Conservative also means reluctance to change, honoring traditional power structures, monarchy, patriarchal, etc. Strongman theory is every bit as present on the right as it is on the left. See Hitler, Mussolini, Putin, Orban (Tucker’s and CPAC’s buddy).UNI88 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2023 10:26 amWhy is MAGAt pro russia?

I’m guessing the American revolutionaries were on the liberal - left side of history whereas the loyalists were conservative, traditional/monarchical right.
I agree with you it’s less prevalent in the U.S. thanks to constitutional freedoms and democracy.

For what it's worth, I do not believe Israel is NOT 100% blame free here as well. Couldn't guess the %, but after quantifying how bad W media lies, I can see some blame on Israel.

Well this has escalated quickly.

Meanwhile Biden’s mumbling through an address to the nation yesterday was certainly reassuring..

And liberal also means open minded and respectful of other perspectives. Two things that helped the revolutionaries lay the foundation for this great country and that are sorely missing in today’s illiberal left.

Israel is the real criminal and everyone has known that since the '40s Winston Churchill got the ball rolling in '37 making a statement in front of The Palestinian Royal Commission saying that he was going to drop all these European Jews on their own doorstep and leave them there.And now they act like that land belongs to them.

Unlike so many snot-noses here I'm old enough to remember when Republicans were all about standing firm in supporting our democtatic allies against the godless communists; at the beginning of the space race many of them were even convinced that the Russians were controlling the weather. Later on while serving in the Army the official line was that Ivan was 10 ft. tall and bulletproof. This all changed as the NRA began to accept Russian money come under Russian control through the VP of the NRA's KGB "girlfriend". I believe at one point they were getting $30,000,000/year - enough that Wayne "Lucky" Pierre could take private aviation across the country to go clothes shopping in Beverly Hills - which in and of itself speaks volumes about the NRA.
