    What will it take for the atrocity propaganda people to acknowledge it, though?

    A complete reprogramming of our society and an intense campaign to to root out propaganda, holding distribution channels accountable for knowingly spreading misinformation, etc.

    But none of that will happen. We've crossed the rubicon and now live in a world where the notion of truth and reality hold no value for us as a society.

    edited to add: we need to want a society that seeks knowledge, questions things and yearns to understand things. But the powers that be have decided an uneducated, distracted, mindless society is better.

    I disagree with him. The beheading of children isn’t something you can come back from. Hamas is finished. 

    The movement towards the extreme (by both parties) will continue. That next new extremist organization may not be called Hamas, but it will be more violent. This is an intractable problem unless Palestinians lay down and give up, which I doubt they are going to do.

  3. random thought probably not worth mentioning: the fact this is all going down while the US basically doesn't have a functioning government is pretty fucking scary.

    You think after this weekend there are still dozens of differing viewpoints within Israeli society regarding Palestine? 

    Yes, of course.

    This is hyperbolic. You're fixated on stray statements from the most radical elements of that society and then imputing those sentiments to millions of people without any basis for doing so. Plenty of people have fled Palestine as refugees, integrated into the societies of the safe places they have made their new homes, and all but a handful of those refugees have done anything to "seek extinction" of Jews.

    If those refugees could feel safe in their ancestral homelands, many would prefer to return. The only reason they cannot feel safe is because the nation state with all the power has grown more brutal and inhuman. Give peace a meaningful chance here.

    I'll add to this. @Brisketexan your hyperbole has become toxic. You're an online caricature at this point.

    There's dozens of differing viewpoints within Israeli society regarding the issue of Palestine. And yet, when discussing Palestinians, you're convinced there is only one homogenous viewpoint.

    I think it's way to early to say this.

    But not doing so would be in direct conflict with God's divine plan for the Jewish people. We'll see how much sway their far-right leaders have soon enough.

    Surely, Israel has done contingency planning for what to do with Gaza after a (completely foreseeable) collapse of Hamas?

    I think the plan is to raze it and make it completely uninhabitable for Gazans, kick them out and make it part of Israel. Which would align with the stated goal of many of their far right leaders.

    It's a diplomatic social media post that he knows will be read all around the world.  That's why it reads like a greeting card.  Did you want him to make multiple posts discussing specific strategies, tactics, and logistics?  Particularly given the integrity of the site he's on?  

    You can relax now.

    Yeah, it's Russia.

    And this time there needs to be a proportionate response.  They're testing us with the mining of Romanian waters and drone strikes that have strayed into Romania.  If we don't respond to the test, they'll push even further until the only response available to us is a full military commitment.

    You'll get the strongest condemnation and more sanctions and you'll like it.

    NATO ain't doing shit so long as Russian troops don't invade a NATO country.

  10. So it seems like Israel is going to unleash hell on Iran. In the past when they've done limited strikes I feel like Iran hasn't done much in terms of an immediate response. I would think if Israel is going to start dropping bombs on Iran it's going to be pretty devastating this time around. How does Iran respond? I assume they unleash Hezbollah at which point Lebanon enters the chat and off we go? 

    Or is there somehow the potential this is a short war where Israel flexes its muscle and everybody decides they aren't quite ready to all die?

    So kick out the Nazis in the country? 

    He's talking about the Muslim Nazis, not the Christian ones. Those are fine people.

    I’m not a fucking Arab, was born in this country and am a Christian and not a Muslim and don’t hate Jews. Thanks for playing.

    It doesn't matter. You're brown and you've got to go. We've had enough of you people.

    Well I’m 38 and have been watching my beloved longhorns since I was 12 and James brown rolled left. I have maybe 20 more seasons left in me and I’ll continue to believe every year that my Horns can win it all and deal with the consequences later. We will win out and smack the shit out of ousux in December. For y’all not on the hype train I ask in my most polite Bo Davis voice “get in the Mother Fucker”!

    You planning on checking out at 58?
