I think this is futile. ISRAEL was attacked October 7. Threatened to be completely anialated. You may go there and help them out with why they were supposed to just roll over and let that happen. Can you explain how Israel choosing to bomb Orthodox and Catholic churches is okay? There is no reasona...

It's trying to understand the mindset of the Jewish people. "The Jewish people" are not of one single mindset. There are very different viewpoints in Israel. Some people advocate a two-state solution, others a one-state solution, etc. I truly am not "evangelically" influenced ab...

This is very toxic to a free and open democracy.

My state rep's husband runs the regional AFSCME here. Youngstown used to be famous for being full of mob bosses who ran the local unions - but there isn't much left now except the public sector unions.
