  1. He wouldn't have wanted to but it literally doesn't matter. You have infinite leverage over Israel to force him to agree. We can make them do anything we want, they can't afford to say no if the alternative is losing the infinite money spigot. The US government just doesn't generally have the desire or stomach to do it. Like, I don't think people appreciate just how precarious their situation is from a fiscal standpoint. Their populace enjoys many social safety nets and things like free education and health care that we don't have in fucking America, directly as a result of our financial support. They can't even come close to being able to afford fighting wars on multiple fronts and keeping their society intact at the same time without us, that's just plain fact. Just the threat of losing all of their creature comforts would be enough for Israelis to start calling for Bibi's head more than they already do.
  2. Sounds like he's a perfect fit for Alabama senator
  3. It is what it is. They're not overlooking it, they just think it's good. Anyway, moving on... Surprised no one has posted this: Trump suggests Hamas has approval for internal security operations in Gaza | Reuters I was more than a little surprised at this. Not necessarily surprised that we would give Hamas approval to do stuff like this, but very surprised that the sitting President would just come right out and admit it. Especially considering, ostensibly, that Hamas must disarm and cede control of Gaza for this peace process to proceed fully.
  4. You might be right but, frankly, Bibi can't do shit about it if the President decides what is what. At the end of the day, we hold the cards, not Israel. There could have been so many fewer lives lost if we had put our foot down at the right time instead of giving them 2 years to destroy Gaza.
  5. Good watch if you want to see most of the stuff inside the football facility. This dude has been to every P4 stadium.
  6. This isn't it, the US made the boss call because it's politically convenient and an easy win for Trump. We could have done the same back in January or during the Biden administration.
  7. And now that stupid bitch is in charge of CBS news.
  8. These people being executed are most likely part of the militias/gangs that were stealing aid and being funded and armed by the IDF, and directly collaborating with the GHF, helping them set up and defend the kill box fake aid sites where they were slaughtering Palestinians seeking aid. The Popular Forces being the most prominent example. If those people are the ones being executed, which seems likely, those people deserve worse than a quick death. Cry me a fucking river. Now run away you fucking pussy, until it's time to post in the middle of the night again so you can more easily run away. Also fucking lol at this hateful little dickhead pretending to care about Palestinians getting killed now. Pathetic little worm.
  9. Keep posting so you can die faster
  10. I wonder what the username count is up to now
  11. I think, if Israel does violate the ceasefire (and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now, even though they don't really deserve it) it's more likely they use the inability to recover some number of hostages' remains to do so, rather than attacking outside peacekeeping forces. If they do what you're suggesting, and I'm not saying it's impossible, all hell will break loose.
  12. You're not really wrong, it's just more complicated than that. Just like people love to point out the "fact" that surrounding Arab nations won't accept Palestinian refugees because they're "too dangerous" or whatever, when the reality is that (Egypt as the most pertinent example) accepting a bunch of Palestinian refugees would be tantamount to giving tacit approval to ethnic cleansing. But anyway, I am not going to push it anymore, and I apologize for being confrontational. I am worried for family and I am just glad (as I'm sure you are) that seemingly real steps are being taken toward peace.
  13. No argument there. You're, again, generalizing your disdain for the PLO/Hamas/whatever in the direction of every Palestinian, in a way that suitably dehumanizes them and allows you to rationalize the destruction of their lives, that you would certainly object to if it was directed towards Jews/Israelis.
  14. I just want to leave this here and point out how incredibly racist this statement, and really the entire post is, including the part I quoted earlier. First describing Palestinians as inherently distasteful to anyone that spends time around them (similar to how the Nazis described Jewish populations), secondly describing all of the peacekeeping forces from the Arab/Muslim nations as "Islamist". I'm glad we have the board's staunchest supporters of the modern Jewish supremacist movement using this opportunity to let everyone know just how gross they think Muslims are. Fantastic.
  15. Lol There it is If only they weren't so stinky!

  17. And that was the last we saw of @ABSR
  18. This. This is new territory. I understand @Nice Guy Eddie's skepticism and I share it to a degree, especially since there seems to have been no consideration for what's happening in the West Bank, but still. Progress is progress.
  19. It's the Dughmush clan and some of their militias were supposedly collaborating with the IDF with regard to aid (GHF) similar to the Popular Forces. You're right that the fighting will likely get worse because there are a number of militia groups involved here, including a number that were Israeli-backed. The "next step" in this process needs to hit quickly. Yep hopefully this happens fast.
  20. It's honestly hard to believe but you love to see it. Also lol @ the chuckle fuck brigade demanding we call Palestinians animals again because they're killing a few collaborators. Fuck em.
  21. Are you gonna cry?
  22. No, don't run away. You wanted my attention and you now have it. You confidently asserted: That we are attempting to spin our NIL spending in some way That CC is running a commercial that is claiming that: Things in college football need to change to save it Money should be taken out of the game All of that is entirely made up. We haven't tried "spinning" our NIL spending in any way, we've owned it fully, and I find it absolutely hilarious to me that you claim to admire SMU for doing, quite literally, exactly what we are doing. Hell, I do too, but at least be honest. You want to praise them and shit on us. That's fine, just own it. The commercial says nothing of the sort, as far as I know he doesn't hold any position anywhere near that. He position is that pooling media rights nationally and keeping them out of the hands of private equity and out of the control of the conference commissioners will lead to an overall increase in revenue for everyone, to the tune of billions of dollars, which in turn will allow sports other than football to flourish across the board. He isn't saying a damn thing about college football needing to change or that money being in the sport the way it is now is a problem. You're just making that up whole cloth. And look, I'm not even saying I agree with him. I think he doesn't fully understand what he's talking about, I think his position is highly speculative/wishcasty, and I think his talking points when speaking to the media about this or even in his commercial are far too vague. I think the only reason anyone is taking him seriously on this is because he has Trump's ear. Like I said before, if you wanna talk shit then talk shit. I don't care, I love it.
  23. Yeah I'm not gonna lie, Lance Leipold is a whole bitch. He was crying like a little girl about the tortilla toss during the week leading up to the game and cried about it to the refs during the game. Of course, there is no video or photographic evidence to back up his claim, which means he's just dead set on becoming new aggy I guess.
