  1. IMO you shouldn't fire a coach without a plan. Because that path leads to the dark side. Without a plan you reach for something shiny. If it isn't well thought out you dive down the hole deeper with a weaker program and then it becomes a chain of poor decisions with an even weaker program. And it goes on.....no you don't hit bottom. You tunnel your way down till you pop out the other side into space.
  2. Ohohoh Maybe we could have them play dodgeball! That red ball to the face of some of them might improve things!
  3. But they didn't tell people to evacuate the war zone. All of Gaza has been a war zone. All they did was try and pack them in to the south while cutting off all the basic supplies they need to survive with no shelter. Ah, I finally see that last sentence there. You don't see any difference between Hamas and the Palestinian people. We're done, there's really nothing constructive to be gained in further conversation.
  4. It was the only part of the interview I found of interest. She mentions racial and economic inequality (check) climate change (oil and gas, corporate profit for the money boys is the over riding priority) for me those all hit my personal triggers leading me to the conclusion it's all been a lie. What I grew up being taught was just a mirage and it isn't how things really work. The past 7 years have left me feeling betrayed but how I thought things were. And that portion I quoted is that feeling in a nutshell. The dots all line up for me but they may not for anyone else.
  5. Well, that all men are created equal for starters. The country was founded by white, male landowners. Landowners were the rich at that time. Women, people of color and the poor were not part of that club. Not equal. The country then and now is set up to enrich the club. Everyone else is still fighting over scraps.
  6. First, you are correct in criticizing his FP. However that doesn't change the fact of what he said. Second, Hamas are barbarians, not the Palestinian people who have been existing in what amounts to an open air prison. In essence, they are as much hostages as the 200+ abducted Israelis. I can't speak for Obama, but for me some empathy and not viewing the Palestinians as being acceptable collateral damage. Given the history in that area it's not rocket science to realize the Israeli government views the Palestians with the same broad brush stroke as they do Hamas. As vermin. If they gave a damn they would have realized it's not reasonable to try and evacuate people WITHIN what is the most densely populated area on earth, for starters. If they can carry out a surgical strike now they could have been doing that to begin with. But the fact is they don't give a damn about anyone in Gaza and it never entered into their planning.
  7. Ok so most of you won't care about the article as a whole. It's the very last part which I found resonates with me. And I know some of you have had the same feeling. I just wanted to bring this up that It's apparently not just us thinking this. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/nov/15/naomi-klein-interview-wellness-culture-far-right?fbclid=IwAR2C2eSJ7p0XrORLNH1h5PJA1Tf9NKqdI34eHCttagyh116YVslCCAGmnnY
  8. Let me be crystal clear, in order to avoid any additional misplaced hysteria. What Hamas did, what their goals are is barbaric. I have no problem with the decision to eradicate that organization. What I do take exception to is the manner in which this is being implemented. It amounts to collective punishment. It amounts to a disproportionate response and an atrocity in and of itself. And for those who wish to try and excuse their response in Gaza, there is no excuse or reasonable rationale for what's being done by Israelis to Palestinians on the West Bank. Nor the comments by a government official that all Palestinians need to go to other countries because Israel will never accept a Palestinian state. See quoted official in link in previous post. Obama is correct. It is a complex issue and NO ONE has clean hands.
  9. yep And as I previously stated, the Israeli government and Jews I consider separate. I never said sneaky, that's you projecting. Any reasonable person can see that the term anti-semite, while accurate in some cases, is also being used inappropriately. No need to become so hysterical about it.
  10. You are right. But in my imagination of a semi just world Why are all the little response emotions so negative? Can we please have a cuddly kitten in there?
  11. What happens if...... The Israeli government is taking advantage of the situation to intentionally "cull the herd" and relocate it so they can grab the northern half of Gaza? Netanyahu is a power hungry Putin wannabe IMO. Look at what he was doing to their judicial system. There will still be Palestinians there to be used as hostages against the rest of the Arab world. Netanyahu is doing exactly as he pleases and no one currently has any influence over him. It's not like Biden could withhold aid or weapons. Congress would rise up against him. Well, the Senate anyway. I separate the Jewish people from the Israeli government. I have not faith in that government being anything but selfish and self serving especially when it comes to the Palestinians. I doubt Netanyahu gives a rip about the hostages.
  12. I think if they want a buffer, it comes out of their landgrab. That's only fair. Karma.
  13. 2 state solution with a large demilitarized (buffer) zone that can take up some of the land the Israelis stole based on the original treaty lines.
  14. I know I'm late to the thread.. I just want to say being pro-palestine and appalled at what is happening in Gaza does not automatically make one antisemitic. What Hamas did was barbaric. They do need to be eradicated. What is currently going on in Gaza is an atrocity. I don't like or agree with the +++++ing hair splitting of hey we aren't firing at civilians or hospitals! But they are firing AT hospitals and bombing civilians while targeting Hamas. Cutting off all supplies, power, water and crowding the survivors in a great environment for contagious diseases to spread like wildfire? It's Genocide.
  15. MOVED IT **apologies if this is the wrong thread. I'm sure antisemitism is on the rise however that term is sometimes being applied when it isn't appropriate IMO
