Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you.
I think I am funnier than I really am.

Re: War in Gaza
I would be rather surprised if George Soros were paying anyone to engage in anti-Israeli protesting, given that Soros has a long history of promoting pro-Israeli policy. I guess I could see him conducting a “false flag”?

Re: War in Gaza
For anyone with the time, this is a really good piece on the moral dilemmas in this war and just how hard it is to do anything right. There's an auto-generated transcript on the Youtube version.
Benjamin Wittes on Israel, Gaza, and Implications for U.S. Foreign and Domestic Policy
Benjamin Wittes on Israel, Gaza, and Implications for U.S. Foreign and Domestic Policy
On April 24, Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes delivered a Watson Distinguished Lecture at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University to discuss the Israel-Gaza war and the implications for U.S. foreign and domestic policy. He talked about Israel’s incompatible objectives of freeing hostages and eradicating Hamas, the moral context of the war, U.S.-Israeli relations in this context, what the U.S. and Israel still have in common—and what they no longer have in common—in this environment, and how the war could affect U.S. presidential elections.

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

but on the same scale as Gaza?Robert wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 9:48 amIt is called the Three Block something or other. The first block is the fighting, The next block is the securing the infrastructure and the third block is humanitarian, if I am remembering it right.

(on a scale like we currently see in Gaza)

The old woodcutter spoke again. “It is impossible to talk with you. You always draw conclusions. Life is so vast, yet you judge all of life with one page or one word. You see only a fragment. Unless you know the whole story, how can you judge?"

The operation in Iraq was much larger scale. Of course, it didn’t work in the long run.Ernie wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 12:04 pmbut on the same scale as Gaza?

Re: War in Gaza
News is reporting that Hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal: https://apnews.com/article/israel-pales ... 4aa4be53e0
And that Israel and Netanyahu are the obstacles and announcing their rejection of a ceasefire.
I'm curious to see if international pressure and US pressure will lead Israel to reconsider. I think at this point Netanyahu believes that continued war is in his political interest. So we will probably get more war in the service of Netanyahu's political career.

Re: War in Gaza
Any evidence that this is true? Something we can look at? He makes a lot of very concrete claims. Should be easy to show the proof if they are true. He says he actually looked at the evidence.

It’s a political minefield for biden. i doubt morality has anything to do with it.HondurasKeiser wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 10:49 am This piece from Politico suggest it's a complicated morass of interests and donors.
i’m off-put by his attempts to insert the U.S. as THE DEFINING AUTHORITY in this (and every world conflict).
biden wants to be seen as the big hero, much as W did in Iraq. for politics.
