The only way there ever will be peace in that area is if every Jew or every mohaminidin dies. One survivor and the war will continue!

I am just hoping this war does not cost us $200B in 'aid'!!
Note, aid is the new codeword for political corruption. |

Joe and Barry gave Hamas money via Iran.
And , Domestic protests and tension around Israeli PM Netanyahu’s efforts to change some laws. Israeli ultra-Orthodox baby boom(up 30% in last 10 years, projected to double in the next 20). Palestinian baby boom(2m to 5m in last 30 years). Israel wants to liquidate Iran’s Mullahs and IRGC just as much as Iran’s Mullahs and IRGC want to eradicate Israel Iran is providing Russia with kinetic support(loitering munitions) against Ukraine, so Iran is a player in that regional war as well as part of a network trying to kneecap US global geopolitical power. Israel is providing only non-kinetic support to Ukraine, while possessing broad, deep, and long-standing ties with Russia’s oligarchy which potentially positions Israel to be a significant player(or at least influencer) in how a temporary or permanent negotiated end-state to the Russia-Ukraine War is achieved. ——- So I see two overlapping themes: 1)The seeming inevitability of war between two extremely fast growing, culturally/diametrically/ideologically opposed ethnic groups(Palestinians and Ultra-Orthodox Jews) crystallised in their beliefs fighting over a postage stamp sized piece of dirt at the local tactical/operational level. A multi-decade conflict with an occasional kinetic layer, and a multi-decade competition between competing ultra conservative baby factories(as well as 1 million Soviet/Russian Jews alone emigrating to Israel). 2)The seeming inevitability of war between Israel and Iran. Israel was besties with the Shah/SAVAK and middle-manned the Iran/Contra Affair that armed Iran….just enough to maximise the Iran-Iraq War bleed, and not enough to win. Iran has spent over 40 years focused on UW/asymmetric warfare in Lebanon, Syria, and Palestinian Territories to distract and disrupt Israel. Tides and compassion for old Jews is lessoning. And retards think Palestine is legit.. They dont even have a country song or their own damn passport. |

This area of the planet has been a festering shithole for the past 15,000 years. These 'people' cannot, and will not ever get along. Ever. No matter how much Democrats want them to. I say nuke strike the whole area and turn it into glass and then take the oil. Hell yes.

Everyone can either convert to Islam or we can get rid of the entire idealogy of Islam.. Start with Mecca, and make it happen with Irans name all over it.

Descendants of Ishmael. The illegitimate son of Abraham and his mistress Hagar. A curse on humanity.

Well, turns out Ron Paul was right again. How simple would it be to just end ALL foreign aid to everyone, period? Cut it all in half on year one, cut other half at the end of year two. No playing favorites, no winners and losers, everyone gets cut off the teat, period.
Instead, I guarantee you the first order of business after the House elects a Speaker, is going to be sending tens of billions of tax dollars to Israel and the Ukraine. How about no. Recall that when Trump was president, Ukraine asked for anti-tank missiles and Trump SOLD them to Ukraine. Now it's all free, free, free, just like it has been with Israel for 70+ years. Israel is no different than multi-generational welfare families in the US that live in bad neighborhoods, on the dole from generation to generation, and none of them have enough self respect to say, hey, thanks for the free shit, but we're strong, smart, successful people now, and we don't want to take your welfare anymore. It's embarrassing. Except none of them are embarrassed, they're just laughing their asses off as they shear the US sheep decade after decade. If Israel or Ukraine wants military hardware, maybe they should get their checkbooks out, instead of feeling entitled to it for free. Shit, the government won't even give me a free M-1 Garand....I have to buy it from the CMP. But they'll hand out M-4's, tanks and Humvees for free to foreigners. |

2. Take Ukrain's money and send it to Israel 3. It would be better if the US would stay out of religious wars. REally any wars's. 4. Israel was invaded and they have a right to defend themselves. They have lost as many as 9/11. Look what we did to Iran because of those civilian deaths. 5. PortDawg has every right to post but this post is political not a Off Topic post like whats on that thread.....What day of the week is your favorite? or What color blue in the sky is your favorite? |

Talked with my leftist sister today.
The TV told her to be concerned with what she called the terrorists killing innocent people and they aren’t following the rule of war. (I’m sure she got that talking point from the TV) I said why hasn’t Israel followed any rule when killing innocent Palestinians and stealing their homes? She said that’s my opinion. Edit: I don’t mean to discount the horror happening but there is way more going on than we know. |

Cliff's Notes: Become economically and militarily strong, but avoid foreign entanglements. Be strong enough no one wants to **** with us, and don't get involved with the bull**** of others. His whole farewell address speech should be required reading for every American citizen, and should be taught in every school in a civics class, perhaps once in elementary, once in jr. high, and again in high school, so the kids are exposed to the idea, then, as they develop, they can read it again with more perspective. |
