  1. SEC already protecting Bama
  2. Love ESPN lol "Take away the game they lost and all the passes that have been dropped and Ty Simpson's stats are incredible!"
  3. She's not afraid of people on this site, just who else might be reading it.
  4. Wow, UNT is better than Florida!!
  5. Love the classic, predictable right wing dipshit Uncle Tommy reference @RollLeft well done
  6. Yeah I suppose my original comment was unclear, I was just referring to Western powers enabling/funding the current cycle of violence.
  7. Damn, RIP
  8. @Captainant attacked it from a different angle but also correct
  9. Yeah, so what I mean by that is that the current conflict is largely driven by American money and weapons. The average American (or Westerner in general) knows dick all about what is going on, the history behind it, and our role in perpetuating it, which is the main reason why the conflict persists as it does. Without our complete capitulation and unlimited money, Israel could not afford to do what it's doing, straight up. There would still be conflict, but it would be very, very different. And that's only speaking of America, there are a number of Western nations that are complicit in the same or similar ways. Germany, ironically enough, is also a major enabler of Israel's bad behavior, for obvious reasons.
  10. No not at all, I completely agree with you there.
  11. Like, I'm sorry for being a dick about it, I really do like you as a poster, but this kind of shit just can't be tolerated anymore. It is baby-brained, orientalist bullshit that is completely ahistorical and oversimplifies thousands of years of history into a take that is just plain wrong. I'm not saying that instances of violence and persecution haven't happened throughout history, but takes like the one you just put out there ignore the vast majority of history between Arab and Jewish populations that is mostly marked with long periods of peaceful coexistence, cooperation, and cultural exchange. The current conflict is in no way representative of the overwhelming majority of history and was 100% driven by the rise of Zionism and Arab nationalism in the 20th century.
  12. This is an incredibly stupid post, none of this is real and you should be embarrassed to post some racist ass garbage like this. Please, think before you fucking post. I know you're not a racist person based on your body of work on this board, but this is trash. You need to go the fuck back to school if this is what you believe. e: Western brains being wired this way from decades of agitprop is literally the #1 reason this conflict exists as it does today. Be better.
  13. What do you want me to say, man? You're just monologuing. I'm not saying any of what you're saying is wrong but...how do you expect me to respond? It's like you want me to acknowledge something but won't come out and say what it is.
  14. The "first stage" of this plan is almost exactly the same as the plan agreed to in January. Like, basically verbatim.
  15. And with basically no promise for any meaningful withdrawal and no mention of West Bank settlements. It's a piece of shit deal that will amount to nothing and the killing will just resume as planned.
  16. I'm sorry but were you born last week? You'd have a much easier time listing off the things Israel has done post Oct 7 that haven't been completely insane than the opposite. They have broken literally every single ceasefire to date, and assuming this one won't be any different is the logical position to take.
  17. My ultimate suspicioun is that Israel uses this peace deal to get back the remaining hostages and just immediately resumes bombardment and conquest. I hope I am wrong. Considering there seems to be no movement on anything with regard to the West Bank, I suspect I am not.
  18. You realize these two situations are vastly different and completely incomparable right?
  19. Israel and Hamas sign ceasefire and hostage deal | Reuters As I said in the other thread, I'm more than a little bit skeptical that Israel will actually adhere to these terms. They've violated every single ceasefire to date. If they do, that's great, and hopefully Hamas does what it has agreed to as well. It's a decent first step, but not nearly enough. I suspect, as do most experts, that Israel will not cede control of most of Gaza, ever, as it should. This deal should require a full settler withdrawal from the West Bank as well, but that will likely never happen.
  20. I am more than a little bit skeptical that Israel will actually follow any of these terms. They've broken every peace deal and ceasefire to date. I hope they do, though.
  21. IDF withdraws 50 feet and says "well, we did our part"
