I've been there and those protesters are giant dickheads for doing that on the Holocaust memorial day at Auschwitz. I've been to it and it's heavy as hell when you are in there. Protesting people sobbing in there does exactly nothing other than making the people in there more upset or hardening them against their cause.

I don't think they can be personable enough to win anything but they can swing money around if they got it. George Soros is a goblin but he is a rich goblin.

If these kids doing performative activism realized how the game is played, they would start a lobby and use mommy and daddy’s money to start buying politicians. They are all for sale.

That’s just performative activism. Wait till a felon gets smoked by a cop between now and the election. The Ukrainian and Palestinian flags will go in a closet and white chicks will have BLM on their foreheads. It’s a big joke.

Sorry about the long diatribe.

Bear in mind, you can find retards everywhere. When I did work for FEMA, families would have elderly family members and still refuse to evacuate even with help. They would aggressively tell you to leave then the water rises and grandma drowns during a way more dangerous evacuation. Completely preventable. Obviously it’s not apples to apples but I wouldn’t use some idiot as a metric for the opinions of most Gazans. Different note: If I got shot at the mall because of Obama calling in drone strikes on a civilian target, I would hope people wouldn’t go “well the majority of people voted for him so Logic had what was coming to him at the Auntie Anne’s”. Also, their elections are probably a sham and it’s not like you would live too long if you did make a fuss about Hamas stuffing ballots. That said, it doesn’t mean the IDF shouldn’t move forward in trying to wipe out Hamas. It does mean that there shouldn’t be some move by parts of the media to try to dehumanize people in a shitty situation. A 6 year old being buried under rubble is fucked. That doesn’t mean the brakes will be pumped on trying to weed out Hamas.

Yeah I don’t love what will essentially be a nuclear armed Wahhabi led government in Saudi Arabia. If they didn’t have the oil, they would be riding camels and be some forgotten backwater middle eastern country. But they do have oil and they can flex that power internationally. It’s not even that we need it (we could be energy independent) so much as we don’t want China getting it and having a buddy deal with the Saudis.

I think Israel will get by. They are a first world country with a first world economy. They are still an ally so if say Iran directly sends troops (they won’t after getting their hand smacked), we would respond. The only reason the US is slowing or halting arms is because they just cut a defense deal with Saudi Arabia. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-saudi-arabia-nearing-agreement-security-pact-sources-say-2024-05-02/

I have a strong feeling most if not all of the hostages are dead.

I also don’t think the folks behind this legislation understand the internet or how trolls work. The second you tell people that you want special treatment, circumventing the 1st Amendment, autists will work furiously to test the bounds of that law.

For reference HR 6090 will be using the IHRA contemporary definition of antisemitism that includes talking about Jewish involvement in the death of Christ. Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion. Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions. Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews. Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust). Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust. Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations. Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor. Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation. Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis. Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis. Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.

Netanyahu said that if he had just one more guy stopped in traffic in Philadelphia on his way to work by protesters that he would call the whole thing off. They did it!

You get real sad or real sick if it’s Boeing or the Clintons having issue with you haha.

Maybe we can catch them on the escalator haha

We could make all the changes we want but ultimately asking the developing world to forego using all of their natural resources to appease western liberals seems like a hard sell. All of them are playing catch up and should do everything possible to raise the standard of living in their countries including utilizing all of their natural resources.
