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 ...

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...

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.

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? ...

If you're able to ignore the limbs blown off babies and look at the "war" as an intellectual exercise, Hamas were smart as hell unleashing the attack. They absolutely knew Israel would go all America on their arse and massacre thousands of people, and Israel promptly did exactly what they...

But hey, it's growing a whole new generation of terrorists, so it's all good - we gotta have forever wars. Indeed. And that was predictable. I look at October 7, and I see a truly disgusting event. Really, really, bad. A massive, coordinated attack against primarily civilian targets. The people on ...

We shuttle about; get conquered; explore; exploit...why get zealous about one spot in time? Because it's a religious thing. "God gave this land to me" as the song goes. Israelis believe that they not only have a right to that piece of the world, they have a literal God-given right to it. ...

Maybe we could give a state to the Israelis. A Dakota. Call it Zion. Hitler wanted to give them Madagascar, but he couldn't work out the details, so he killed them instead. Well, not quite all of them. But no one wanted the survivors. My fantasy solution to the problem would be, instead of giving t...
