Quote from: Josquius on Today at 01:05:40 AMYeah.... It's totally the Palestinians who are the genocidal ones here...

Going door to door slaughtering and abducting people, regardless of their age or combatant status seems pretty genocidal to me.
And an overwhelming majority of Palestinians approve of the Oct 7 attacks (85% or so IIRC).

You try having your town bombed to hell every night and your kids starved to death and see how readily you agree with shit being thrown the other way.

But I see the point completely eluded you here.
Denying the Palestinian people even exist and insisting the very word is a slur is pretty damn far beyond the pale.

Quote from: Josquius on April 25, 2024, 02:37:05 PMWe clearly aren't talking about the Muslim world here though. We are talking about in the west.

If we exclude the Middle East from a discussion about Israel then things get kinda weird.

Much less weird than if we were to exclude the Near East from a discussion about Israel. :smarty:

Or the Levant.

Quote from: OttoVonBismarck on April 27, 2024, 05:02:52 PMPalestinian should be considered a bad word--the definition of Palestinian is "an Arab who bases their identity on the genocide of Israeli Jews." It is not a nationality.

Yeah.... It's totally the Palestinians who are the genocidal ones here...

Boz Scaggs - Lido Shuffle

It is only in the second half of my life that I have begun to realize how much the songs of my youth impacted me.  This was a timestamp of my life in the second half of the 1970s as a kid.

Huh - lots of guys wearing suits and ties.  I'm perplexed.

What's with all the facial hair on catalan politicians?  Does no one know how to work a razor?

So between #4 and #8 - never go with the guy with the red tie.  That in my experience either means a leftist, or a Trumpist.

#8 it is.

I was going to vote for the brunette, but then I saw the prominent cross necklace and switched to the blonde.  :lol:

Saw some pro-Palestinian graffiti today which I thought avoided any antisemitism: "let Gaza live".
