  1. This has been my assumption too. Shaping the battlefield to maximize the effectiveness of the F-16s and maybe even try for some air superiority
  2. Coach Neon Deon?
  3. and where are baylor and aggy going to get the money to fire their coaches?
  4. writes for the times apparently It should be noted though, that the baby story is not confirmed by anyone at this time During these hours, a horrifying testimony about a baby's body found in an oven is being circulated on the networks. Millions, and perhaps tens of millions, have already been exposed to it in English and Hebrew. Naturally we receive a lot of reports and we are still checking things. Here is what we know as of this time: - The testimony is attributed to the president of the Salvation Union Eli Bir and was apparently quoted for the first time by the media person and newspaper owner @NewYorkSun , Dovid Efune. We have not found any more references to her that rely on other sources. - We contacted Eli Bir himself and other factors in the rescue union, but we have not yet received a response. -Journalist Yishai Cohen said that he contacted officials in the IDF, Zaka and Shura camp - who said they were not familiar with the incident. -Journalist Haim Levinson reported that he checked the story and found no basis for it. According to him, the testimony is based on a volunteer who saw a baby with "stove marks" in the camp. -Contrary to the claim that came up, the IDF spokesman did not present such an event in the closed screening of the materials that was made for the foreign journalists If you have more information - please contact us. It is important for us to say at this stage: There are horrifying and unimaginable testimonies from the massacre in the Gaza Strip, and still even today there are those who doubt their credibility, and they do so while taking advantage of specific testimonies that have no basis. Denying the massacre is in the interest of Hamas supporters and other hostile elements operating on social networks. If you see a testimony that has no source or official confirmation - avoid spreading it. Inaccurate testimony has the potential for great harm.
  5. Some good news, a hostage was rescued.
  6. Russia not letting a pogrom go to waste
  7. He's the closest thing we have to branding iron
  8. Sounds like the IDF found Shani's body and she's confirmed dead. It always seemed very unlikely she was still alive, or at least for very long. Edit: It was actually worse I've also seen tweets of some even more horrific videos found on Oct 7th victims phones, but haven't seen it coming from any official accounts or news agencies yet.
  9. There are reports that the fsb encouraged or organized the mob
  10. Didn't know this, anyone confirm it's true?
  11. Some good Twitter/Musk news
  12. Some stuff from a nyt article
  13. It's like you've never even been to Sinton before.
  14. just like south austin's mom. I'll also be there early sat morning for KState.
  15. are you asking which one of those gets screwed more? Cause I'm not sure...
  16. Nah, too close to Israel.
  17. Some hornfans admin is going to be wondering why their traffic increased 1000% this week
  18. How do you figure?
  19. I am pro-Palestinian. Some might be surprised by this due to my recent advocacy on @X for Israel, but you shouldn’t be. I am anti-terrorist, not anti-Palestinian. It is not inconsistent to be pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian. And my pro-Palestinian viewpoint is not a new one. My pro-Palestinian perspective began more than 30 years ago when I was introduced to the Palestinian community and their plight in the early 1990s. I have invested millions in helping promote Palestinian economic development and peaceful coexistence. We would do a lot more if we could be confident that the funds would be used productively. The crisis in Gaza is largely due to a failure of leadership. The Palestinians elected Hamas in 2006 after Israel withdrew and evicted 9,000 of its own citizens from their Gazan homes. Israel withdrew from Gaza for peace. It was a small scale test of a two-state solution. Rather than building the Singapore of the Middle East over the last 18 years, Hamas diverted funding to build tunnels, rockets and munitions to wage terror and war in an effort to eliminate Israel and kill Jews. Like the Israelis, the vast majority of Palestinians want peace. They want opportunities for employment so they can earn a living wage to support and educate their families so the next generation can build a better life. They want peace, beauty, happiness, health and prosperity as we all do. All of that would have been possible with Gazan leadership which focused on economic development rather than terrorism. Israel and (most of) the world wanted the Gazan experiment to succeed. Israel simply wanted peace. Israel built a fence and created checkpoints to protect its citizens from suicide bombers and other forms of terror. The Egyptians built a concrete wall at their border with Gaza for the same reasons. The need for a fence and checkpoints is made self-evident by the catastrophic impact on Israel when the fence was breached on Oct. 7th. Hamas is in the business of terrorism. Hamas makes money with grift, corruption, and funding from Israel’s enemies who support Hamas to achieve their own anti-Israel objectives. Hamas and those that support it don’t care about the Palestinians. The Palestinians are simply a tool to implement their anti-Israel and/or anti-Jew objectives. Like other businesses, Hamas has a corporate hierarchy where those at the top make thousands of times more than the ‘workers’ at the bottom. Hamas’ leaders have put aside hundreds of millions and even billions for themselves. Hamas uses their ‘culture’ of terrorism, cash, and other incentives to motivate young, brainwashed —often from youth—, radicalised militants to implement death, torture and destruction. Their ‘success’ at terrorism attracts more funding, amplifies Israel’s response, and the cycle continues. Hamas does not care about the Palestinian people. Hamas knew with certainty how Israel would respond to the torture, rape, beheading, and slaughter of Israeli women, children, seniors and infants on Oct. 7th. Hamas’ plan was to hide out in their tunnels and headquarters built under major hospitals, limit evacuations so that Palestinian citizens are exposed to the inevitable Israeli military response, and then rally the world against Israel in a globally coordinated response as innocent civilians die. Israel has no choice but to destroy Hamas. It cannot allow its survival, as Hamas’ existence remains an existential threat. If ISIS invaded our southern border, we would do the same. We would warn civilians to evacuate and then we would go in and destroy the terrorists. We wouldn’t cease fire until they were obliterated. The whole situation is an incredible tragedy. While I have always hoped for a viable and peaceful two-state solution, the Gaza experiment has been an abject failure. Future efforts for statehood for the Palestinians must learn from this catastrophe. As always, I welcome your input, critiques and rebuttal. What did I get wrong?
