See, like, it's this hysterical nonsense. War is sad, should be avoided. Breaking news!
That's what you get for driving one of these dumbass cars.
It's because the war in Iraq, for example, killed way more civilians but virtually nobody called it genocide. It's only genocide when it's like 1/20th of the number of civilian casualties and Jews have perpetrated it. Another example, no country let's non citizens vote or have most legal rights, yet it's only apartheid when it's Jews, despite the fact that Apartheid with a capital A from South Africa looked way different and was way more universally condemned than anything in Gaza.
Takes time and money to explain the truth. Lying is free.
I suppose in a strict legal sense, fuck him though.
Dude thinks the cyber truck is cool, and not the dumbest fucking vehicle ever.
Nothing legit about him. He has no chance.
Good let them infect each other.
Wow the rhetoric of Yoav Gallant is so compelling, except none of those things happened. There's diesel generators all over the place. There are new water treatment plants opening just last month. You got tricked by Qatari news and non profits looking for donations.
Also, it is a war zone. Maybe don't let terrorists build tunnels under everything and then nobody will have to blow everything up. 98% of Gaza evacuated and are alive.
They could have chosen peace. Nope. Inconcievable.
Representative government was always a capital offensive. "Western values" were always infidelity to the word of God and the prophet Muhammad. Violence to Israel began before Israel. Violence against Jews in the middle east is as old as recorded history, at the beginning of which the land was occupied by Hebrew speaking people called Judites.
Muslims could just stfu, have respect for other cultures. They lost in court. Israel exists. Give it a fucking rest, at some point, surrender and move on.
Nope. Inconcievable. A century of suicide bombers and "Martyrdom.™"
It's an indefensible culture. Leave it behind or die with it.
I could not say.
Some* suggesting flooding the tunnels with salt water to minimize the collateral damage caused by ordinance. This would destroy the soil forever, as I understand it. And potentially make uninhabitable for real. Obviously using gas in the tunnels is out of the question. How do you suggest that they be destroyed?
E whoops bad typo. I am not proposing that..
I think it's a pretty good defense. Terrorists don't get to have their own state, And they don't get to dictate the rules of engagement with absolute barbarity and disregard for human life.
Anyone not there willingly is free to gtfo the way with the other 98% of Gaza that's still alive. It sucks most for the kids, who are the most vulnerable.
Damn it was true all along.
No, very much the opposite of that. Hamas made the kids stand in front of them, though. Hamas loves dead children in Gaza. It's their most powerful weapon and look how well it worked against you.
I was traveling for work recently and saw one of these every morning, and God damn did it fire me up to rage against the machine.
That's your opinion. International law is based on precedent. Hamas is unprecedented: their zeal for the death of innocents, and tunnel warfare system, their international support from Iranian and Qatari oil oligarchs and monarchs, and their media. That's what you're defending right now.
How many more generations must be lost to instane religion hysteria because you're getting tricked by dead kids that were killed by Hamas and some imaginary world history in which Jews are not aboriginal?
How about revolting? How about defecting? Nah, inconceivable! Martyrdom™ for all!
You only consider them genocidal because you first considered them evil, though. Otherwise you'd see it how the many, many learned professionals and diplomats from throughout the West do, who don't agree with you.
Yes you can. There's no future in violent radical panislamism.
Have you seen these new directed energy weapons? A shot that used to cost literally a few hundred thousand dollars now costs 13 cents.
Massachusetts filed civil rights charges against the hate group. NSC-131 demonstrators unfurled a banner reading: “We’re not going anywhere.”
Comment on Headline: I don't know if swarm is the right word, I think that implies they entered the home? I guess a group of insects is a swarm whether it's inside or out. They had their Nazi party in the street, and the governor's home is protected at all times by state police.
...................................
> Dozens of Neo-Nazis demonstrated outside the home of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) on Saturday night, in an intimidating display of hate. Members of the group NSC-131 — which seeks to create a white-only ethnostate in New England — marched Saturday night through the Boston suburb of Arlington, uniformed in khakis, black jackets, face masks, and baseball caps.
> The NSC-131 members moved under cover of darkness, co-opting the progressive activist chant, “Whose streets? Our streets!” The neo-Nazis then lined up on the sidewalk across the street from the Healey’s home, which was protected by state troopers. The group’s members lit red traffic flares, and held these aloft with stiff arm Hitler salutes. They unfurled a banner reading: “WE’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.”
> The action by NSC-131 was an in-the-streets response to civil rights charges brought against the group by the state late last year. A 26-page complaint was lodged by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell (D) in December. Campbell denounced the group’s efforts to “target and terrorize people across Massachusetts and interfere with their rights,” and insisted the state of Massachusetts is dedicated to “holding this neo-Nazi group and its leaders accountable.”
> That legal complaint hits NSC-131 for actions that “unlawfully target and disrupt LGBTQ+ events,” including drag queen story hours; “unlawfully target immigrants based on race and national origin,” including by trespassing at hotels where asylum seekers have been offered temporary housing; “unlawfully attack members of the public,” with frequent brawling at NSC-131 marches; and for numerous efforts to “disrupt public peace and safety.”

Maura Healy was an aggressive lawyer for a long time before she was governor. I'm sure the AG is no exception.
Interesting that they think they are the ones not going anywhere in the state where America drew its first breath of liberty. Fuck Nazis.
The court weighed in on a dispute between the Biden administration and Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who installed the wire in an effort to prevent illegal border crossings.
"The brief order noted that four conservative members of the nine-justice court would have rejected the government's request. They were Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The Biden administration says the wire prevents agents from reaching migrants who have already crossed over the border into the U.S.
Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott, a Republican, installed the razor wire near the Rio Grande at Eagle Pass as part of an operation to address illegal immigration that has brought the state into conflict with the Biden administration.
Texas sued after Border Patrol agents cut through some of the razor wire, claiming the agents had trespassed and damaged state property.
A federal judge ruled for the Biden administration, but the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last month reversed that decision, saying agents could not cut or move the wire unless there was a medical emergency.”

Comment: I am unsurprised by this decision. The Constitution clearly grants immigration authority to the federal power.
Here is the order: https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/012224zr_fd9g.pdf
The U.S. has officially expanded its geographical territory by one million square kilometers. This U.S. territory expansion utilized the ECS.
Excerpt:
”In a historic move, the United States has officially expanded its geographical territory by one million square kilometers — an area nearly 60 percent the size of Alaska. The catalyst for this territory expansion lies in the redefinition of the U.S. continental shelf boundaries.
By invoking international law, the State Department has outlined new areas under the sea where the continental shelf, a seabed area surrounding large landmasses with relatively shallow waters, extends further than previously recognized.
This monumental addition is spread across seven distinct ocean regions, with over half of the new territory located in the Arctic.”
.........
1,000,000 square kilometers! I know, nobody knows how much area that is, what even is a kilometer? But it's an important area of the world, gives us a legit claim to keep Russia out of the area, and takes ownership of tons of natural resources.
The Arctic may be the cradle of the future of humanity, as the rest of the planet becomes to warm to inhabit.
Further reading: America's Arctic strategy: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/files/docs/nat_arctic_strategy.pdf
"We seek an Arctic region that is stable and free of conflict, where nations act responsibly in a spirit of trust and cooperation, and where economic and energy resources are developed in a sustainable manner that also respects the fragile environment and the interests and cultures of indigenous peoples."
Of course if the Republicans win again the strategy just reverts to "drill baby drill" and Trump will probably sign Alaska over to Russia as a gift.

Thank you.
