  1. And Baghdad and Tripoli.
  2. Don't make me repeat myself.
  3. Adolis Garcia should be sent to Gaza to ride it out.
  4. This is a fun exchange, but nobody serious debates that al pastor is not the result of maronite/lebanase immigration to mexico, and a merging of the shwarma brought with them with mexican flavor profile.
  5. There will be no peace in the middle east until we can sit down and break bread and roast a beast. I mean, I vehemently disagree with their takes on shellfish and pork, but there is lots of common ground that can be found.
  6. I don't know anything about Aztecs grilling meat. I am sure they were great, and would not try to disparage. But I do know a bit I think about vertically and horizontally oriented rotisserie production of various meat products. If only our world could find a way to celebrate the mergers of the best of cultures, food, music, drink, and dance, but our race is dead set on fighting over the parcels of dirt and resources.
  7. But they brought shwarma, which became al pastor. Both go better with a side of lebneh, the latter with lebneh and cucumbers in particular.
  8. The merging of the cuisine of the levant with that of Mexico. Al Pastor is the result of the influence of maronite lebanese immigration to mexico.
  9. The merging of the cultures prior gave us tacos al pastor, so lets not be so dismissive.
  10. Germany might be more appropriate. But that offends certain European sensibilities.
  11. @Nivek, B'TSELEM is a well resourced group with observers in the WB and Gaza. They are not a Hamas mouthpiece. You might consider spending some time on their website reviewing their documentation of what has been taking place for decades in the OT. https://www.btselem.org/
  12. As my granny use to say, wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which ones fills up first. I see no reason to be anything other than fatalistic wrt the current political reality.
  13. Well, the intents and support of the Palestinian and Israeli people mean about as much as the public opinion polls of Americans do when it comes to political reality. Probably even less actually.
  14. Israel will never allow there to be a functional and sovereign palestinian state. Vaporize Hamas, shit vaporize all the islamists or swap them out with secular or christian palestinians, doesn't matter. There will never be a palestinian state that is allowed to operate within the area now occupied by Israel.
  15. Witness the success of US diplomacy.
  16. The US is really good at wagging its finger and saying a few words. And then pushing the approval through for the arms sales. Ask MBS, he knows how it works.
  17. Other than the bolded, which is kinda the main point of what I was responding to, I think that we are in basic agreement.
  18. Don’t fall for the bait.
  19. It's amazing to me how hard it is for some people to differentiate between income distribution and class attributes.
