  • Ah, Lindsey graham, still giving idiots around the world hope that they too could be a US senator one day.

    1. We have 2000kg guided munitions now, we don’t need to nuke Gaza. As barbaric as that seems, we really have moved on pass nukes.

    2. Nuking Gaza would mean radiation for everyone else. Including Israel. Generations of Jewish people would battle cancer for 2-4 generations.

    3. They are children you bloody nutter. What is seriously the worst thing a 6 year old can do that would warrant a nuke? Unless you have blueprints of a cyborg-ninja 6 year old, I don’t want to hear it.

    4. Waste of US resources and good will for… nothing?



  • Changes narrative – Republicans have a plan! And it’s much more reasonable than the AAA Initiative

    Sounds like the republican plan is to take credit fro the AAA plan that they are actively fighting against. Because Lords knows they aren’t going to go more then 15 weeks. They aren’t going to sound “reasonable” when they are actively being inflexible.

    Plan A could potentially pull votes from AAA Initiative

    If Republicans didn’t act like lunatics when Roe v. Wade was pulled to states rights, then put women through 2 years of this crap, people might have been a bit more trusting.

    Puts Democrats in a defensive position to argue against partial birth abortions, discriminatory abortions, and other basic protections

    Democrats won’t argue on that front, because they already are winning on the “Republicans took away abortion rights” and that argument is winning them elections. This tactic will just put them on the defense twice.


  • “I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second,’”

    You know what, I could agree with that opinion if the irony wasn’t lost to folks

    No. One. Would tip for a blizzard game.

    1. Blizzard DOES nickel and dime you at every second. Literally.

    2. Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2.

    3. Blizzard made 8.71 Billion in 2023. They can afford to pay their developers without relying on public donations.

    Fair point.

    Though counterpoint: if someone is willing to spend $3000+ on an apple computer and cool swag. The ads already worked.

    However, if the Q/A on your product is so bad, that someone who spends $3000+ would rather install an ad-block to get rid of that experience, maybe the quality assurance on those ads or products aren’t as good as people think.





  • “The IDF has taken action and will continue acting to identify misconduct and behavior that does not align with the expected morals and values of IDF soldiers,” it said in a statement sent to CNN.

    The problem is, this kind of behavior aligns perfectly with:

    In one video, a soldier is seen going through a woman’s wardrobe, including her underwear, making derogatory, sexist remarks about Arab women.

    A photo shared online shows a soldier standing next to a Hebrew sign spraypainted on a wall in Gaza that says: “Instead of erasing graffiti, let us erase Gaza.”

    The Israeli soldier looks directly into the camera, then turns around and sets a pile of food supplies on fire. “We turn on the light against this dark place and burn it until there is no trace of this whole place,” he says as another soldier fuels the flame.

    I couldn’t be more disgusted with where my tax dollars are going.


  • If you are wondering who is the commission, the United Nations has a good overview on their past and accomplishments.

    They all don’t have a history of Anti-semitism, as claimed, but more along the lines such as:

    • Human rights in Gambia vs. Myanmar
    • Human rights on housing
    • Inquiry into Detention in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

    These guys are no joke, they have done this before. But more importantly, the comment that got them suspended?

    “We are very disheartened by the social media that is controlled largely by, whether it is the Jewish lobby or it is specific NGOs, a lot of money is being thrown into trying to discredit us,” he said in the interview.

    But above all that, the excuse that Israel is using is:

    When asked by The Times of Israel what these claims were based on, Haiat said, “The commission of inquiry is there to investigate Israel without any time limits, unlike any other commission of inquiry from the UN system.

    Keep in mind, not even the investigation team knows how long it will take, so of course there won’t be a time frame. And they work for the UN, why do they need one?



  • do you have empathy for those killed on oct 7? do you have empathy for those crammed in shelters due to indiscriminate or blatant attacks on civilians by hamas? while their rockets may not be precision accurate, the ballistic characteristics alone offer enough accuracy to avoid them dropping in the middle of population centers in israel. do you have empathy for that?

    We call this multi-tasking, but yes. Generally one can feel empathy for more then one party, it isn’t a zero sum game.

    empathy goes out the window after what happened oct 7. i watched the twin towers fall on 9/11 in new york. there was no talk of empathy. from anyone. but i heard a few comments about the world needing a reminder of what a nuke can do.

    It is a shame people only watched our rage, and didn’t learn the lesson 10 trillion dollars later, and all our hard work evaporating in 3 days.

    Hypocrite that I am, fool I am not. Learn from our mistakes or be doomed to repeat them.

    we are beyond empathy here. eliminating hamas and their underground infrastructure requires the tactics israel is using.

    I disagree, there are better methods, more informed methods, safer methods for sure, if we thought about this any other way beside treating bombs like magic pixie dust that makes problems disappear.


  • legitimate targets among civilians and human shields, THAT IS THE WAR CRIME HERE.

    Like when Israel bombed a refugee camp to get a single Hamas Leader?

    Oh, maybe you meant when Hamas targeted the preschools on Oct 7?

    There are no saints in this war.

    you deal with that by attacking anyway and demonstrate to the enemy that tactic does not work and will not be tolerated.

    Hamas, seems to be doing fine, it’s the people of Gaza that have to take the hits. Also not a warm idea for the hostages you’ve doomed to death.

    the situation is beyond the point of tiptoeing around world opinion and rose-colored glasses wearing people like you.

    Empathy, the word you are looking for is called Empathy.

    any org that employs the tactics hamas has used should be wiped out.

    Agreed, use better tactics, aim, and FFS stop hitting the children.


  • unlike what you see here…
    what you see here is propaganda.

    Propaganda for better solutions that don’t involve bombing city blocks because one gang thug had an RPG outside a hospital.

    Maybe I am not comfortable with Israel’s aim

    Maybe I am not comfortable with killing children and teenagers for the sins of a gang of thugs.

    Maybe I am not comfortable with killing civilians if it is going to lead to a broader war.

    Either way, what really irks me, is that everyone is okay with it. If this happened in any other place in the world, we would be clawing bloody murder, but because it happens in un-wealthy Gaza. I am a propagandist?

    Guess it’s okay to kill kids so long as they are poor and (possibly) Muslim? What kind of propaganda are you spewing?
