I didn't change my mind when 9-11 happened. I doubt I will change it now.
There's a difference between the issue of Palestine v brain-dead religious whack jobs. You can be FOR a Palestinian homeland and be AGAINST terrorism...for any purpose, by anyone (including Wahhabists, neocons, rabid Zionists, and religious fundamentalists or nationalists of all stripes.) Don't be like SECOND. Don't lump everyone into one bag of prejudice.

Oh, BTW, that picture of "Arabs/ Muslims" doing the happy dance when the Twin Towers came down?
They weren't. They were Jews. In facts, Israel had so much to gain from 9-11 I can't help but think Mossad had a hand in it.

FBI director warns of heightened threats in US from Israel-Hamas war

Wouldn't be something we'd even think about at all if we never let any of them here in the first place.
Stay strapped.

Yeah, well the FBI said it was "investigating" Trump for colluding with Russia, and that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinfo. Heck, I remember after the anthrax letters they were turning over every rock and twig in the Muslim community in Orange County, in a totally misdirected effort to find the sender.
Not that they're necessarily wrong, but they might not be right either.
In any case, I don't feel personally threatened and you should even less so. And if the USA had another terror attack I wouldn't be shocked or panicked, as so many were on 9-12. It would be - or should be- semi-expected by now. And instead of being stampeded into destroying two utterly uninvolved nations- like we did last time- we should ID the perps, try them, and punish the guilty.
Anything else is just stupid.
BTW, I'm personally more concerned about regular crime, inflation, illegal migrants, and overall debt.

"WE" shouldn't do anything.
The way I look at it, it's two factions of people I have no love for that are half a world away that can take care of each other all they want to.
I just happen to favor one side over the other is all, and I really would rather not see that side lose since they're the only people with balls enough to fight the other side in current year.

Of course.
Honestly, I'm more concerned about whether or not Hollywood is going to learn the lesson that 2023 has taught it.
When the Muslim shitbag terrorists do their thing here again, it's not going to be me in the middle of a big Democrat run shithole city or on a plane where it happens. It will be some rich white people who are getting their college loans paid off by the Biden* regime.
I won't shed any tears when that happens either.

Israeli officials try to justify mass civilian casualties in Gaza by comparing it to the destruction of Hiroshima
It became evident to U.S. officials that Israeli leaders believed mass civilian casualties were an acceptable price in the military campaign. In private conversations with American counterparts, Israeli officials referred to how the United States and other allied powers resorted to devastating bombings in Germany and Japan during World War II — including the dropping of the two atomic warheads in Hiroshima and Nagasaki — to try to defeat those countries.

Last night a colleague sent me a gracious message, wishing for the safe return of the hostages and expressing disgust over the antisemites in my comment section. I wanted to share my reply:
You have no idea how much this means to me.
I’ve just been shaking with anger after an exchange with the latest antisemite to email me. After I asked her whether she really wished for my family and friends in Israel to be murdered, she said that if I “read a fucking book that’s not about computers,” I would understand that “violence is the language of the oppressed.”
The experience of the last few weeks has radicalized me like nothing else in life. I’m not the same person as I was in September. My priorities are not the same. 48% of Americans aged 18-24 now say that they sympathize with Hamas more than Israel. Not with the Palestinian people, with Hamas. That’s nearly half of the next generation of my own country that might want me and my loved ones to be slaughtered.

Results.pdf )
I feel like the last thread connecting me to my previous life are the people like you, who write to me with kindness and understanding, and who make me think: there are Gentiles who would’ve hidden me under the floorboards when the SS showed up.
Be well.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author who signed letter calling for ceasefire in Gaza has event moved from Houston synagogue
It was the second time in less than two weeks that a Jewish organization scrapped an event featuring Viet Thanh Nguyen, who was among 750 artists and writers in North America and Europe who signed an open letter that expressed criticism of Israel.
“At this remarkably sensitive time in our community, it did not seem to be appropriate to have this Inprint program at Emanu El,” Fredi Bleeker Franks, the executive director of the synagogue, said in a statement Tuesday to Houston Public Media.
What is in that letter? This:
"We can only express our grief and heartbreak for the victims of these most recent tragedies, and for their families, both Palestinians and Israelis," the letter reads. "Nothing can retrieve what has already been lost. But the unprecedented and indiscriminate violence that is still escalating against the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, with the financial and political support of Western powers, can and must be brought to an end. By cutting off vital electricity, food and water supplies; by attempting to displace by force over 1 million Palestinians from their homes, with no guarantee of return; and by carrying out continual airstrikes against civilians, including those who are attempting to evacuate, the state of Israel is committing grave crimes against humanity. Its allies, our own governments, are complicit in these crimes."

It's the same I don't give a fuck attitude that I have over Ukraine.
I've had to listen to your bullshit about how Russia was going to nuke us for years now.
Get fucked.

Liars say that Trump won in 2020 and will win in 2024. The liars let their imaginations take over their mouths.
Liars say that Russia will nuke anybody sending weapons to Ukraine. That hasn't happened despite Russians repeating that lie since the first load of ammo was delivered. By now, millions of pounds of ammo have been delivered, but still no nuke. The liars let their imaginations take over their mouths.
And liars are saying they are not targeting women and children in Gaza. Again, their mouths are speaking about an imaginary and idealistically run military operation that is very different from the actual and extremely crude operation that Israel is conducting in reality.

You're a liar. But admittedly, that doesn't speak at all to my ability to spot one.
It's blatant and regular.
