Re: A very depressing video from Gaza

But...what to do? I don't see any good options for the IDF. It's a choice among evils, and I don't know what I would say to them. To Hamas and friends, I know what I would say. Stop shooting. I don't think they'll take my advice. It doesn't seem to fit with their goals. That's the exact point for H...

Re: Planet America

I don't think it's likely to happen - the Republicans will die before allowing two guaranteed Democrat states to be added. The interesting thing is that they don't actually need the Republicans to go along. Adding a new state requires a new law, but it doesn't require a constitutional amendment. At...

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza

I just watched this video https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2023/11/14/exp-gaza-hospital-idf-embed-robertson-pkg-111402aseg1-cnni-world.cnn It's a CNN reporter embedded with IDF forces. It's truly horrible. Mile after mile of complete destruction. And yet......they're being shot at. The devastation i...

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza

But I don't get it. Israel is committing atrocities, apparently, Such as......? What I'm seeing is war. Urban war. That's pretty atrocious all by itself, and people who start wars are bad people, in almost every case. However, what I'm reading in the articles is that fighting is raging. In other wor...

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza

The media coverage of the most recent situation is kind of weird to me. It's mostly about Shifa Hospital these days, and the tragedy that is occuring there. The headlines will talk about Israel having the hospital surrounded. Buried somewhere in the article will be a line something like "While ...

Re: Planet America

Here;s something very American, but that doesn't involve guns or bullets. Tipping. For those of you not familiar with the US, if you happen to be travelling to the US, please be advised that you are expected to leave a bigger tip in restaurants here than pretty much anywhere else in the world, as fa...

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza

The more I think about it, the more I think the only possible solution involves annexation of the West Bank, minus Jerusalem, into Jordan, and Gaza into Egypt. No one wants that now, so it isn't going to happen, but maybe in 50 - 100 years. Until then, there's plenty of profit to be made for weapns ...

It's the only way to be sure.
It's the expansion set for the "Is There a God?" game.

"Whose side is He on?"

And they can sit in Heaven or Hell, finally knowing, for sure, which side God wanted to have that Rock.

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza

I completely agree with The Atheist on this one. The only way Hamas loses this is for Israel to kill every last Palestinian in Gaza. So, how do they win? That's a serious question. What constitutes "winning" for them, and how do the October 7 attacks directly or indirectly lead to a win? ...
