Re: Israel / Palestine

A reminder of what Palestinian cities and homes look like after the Israeli military is done with them: https://twitter.com/PalestineChron/status/1783172154193785106 Last one. The author of this article, "journalist" Abdallah Aljamal. Was found to be holding 4 of the hostages in his family home ...

Re: Israel / Palestine

If you want to watch the always interesting Mehdi Hasan go to town on the Israeli military actions in Gaza in a recent debate, here is a thread with some good clips. https://twitter.com/I_amMukhtar/status/1838651874116845870 I'd encourage people to watch the entire debate rather than this thread ...

Re: Israel / Palestine

Israel has launched a large attack on Beirut, Lebanon. I guess this is more "de-escalation through escalation"? https://twitter.com/prem_thakker/status/1839706366069616724 Should we rename this thread to "Israel vs Palestine, Lebanon, ..."? They're just straight up bombing other countries now ...

Re: Israel / Palestine

It all makes sense when you realize that Bibi Netanyahu gets to stay in power and out of prison if he keeps war and conflict going. Popped by to see if it was humanly possible to spin Iran firing 200 ballistic missiles at Israeli civilian targets - a moved condemned by every self-respecting ...

Re: Israel / Palestine

It looks like Israel may refuse to negotiate a ceasefire (again). Little surprise when (a) their President depends on the unending war to stay in office; and (b) their army and leaders want to kill all the Palestinians out of bloodlust. How else will they get the baby blood for their rituals to ...

My only problem with Succession is that there isn't a single main character on the show that felt any sympathy for.
Well, Cousin Greg at least starts as the audience avatar.

Re: 2024 NBA Draft

Pass…not interested. I’d take Da Silva if he falls. If not give me DaRon Holmes or Yves Missi Holmes, sure. I'm not seeing it with Missi. My opinion is based solely on Youtube highlights, but he seems like pure catch and finish athleticism with limited skills and decision making. He dribbles like a ...

Re: Israel / Palestine

A terrorist organization that is also the leaders of the Palestinian people who mostly approve of the Hamas attack on Israel. Israel should be better? They have shown restraint for many decades. We lost 3000 people when terrorists took out the Twin Towers. We took out Iraq and Afghanistan over that ...

Yes…. I liked to because it’s a limited series so it all wraps up in 6 episodes. Reminded me of “Billions” if you’ve ever seen that. OK, didn't realize it was a series. Thought it was a movie. Haven't seen Billions or Succession yet. Please stop what you're doing and right this wrong immediately. Su ...

Re: Israel / Palestine

This will sound callous, but is fundamentally true: If Israel wanted to commit genocide, it could. But it doesn't want to, so it doesn't. It sounds really, really naive, not callous. It's not naive. And regarding the second half of that statement which you left out, I'd refer you to the Jewish ...

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 3 (Conf Finals) News Thread

Luka is moving better than he has in a while from my perspective. Crazy he can play in slow mo on one leg and still be better than the guy who allegedly couldn't have played with him. Crazy how the Suns made one of the biggest “draft for need instead of best player” blunders ever in 2018 only to rep ...

Re: Israel / Palestine

I don’t think Israel sees it the same way you guys do. When the Germans bombed the UK, how much aid did they deliver to the UK? When we bombed Japan, how much aid did we send? How much aid has Putin sent to Ukraine? This is Israel’s own occupied territory. Being an occupying power comes with res ...

Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?

I think you can game the system with that unprotected ‘31 pick. If you stay in the 2nd apron long enough doesn’t that pick move to the end of the 1st round? So, trade the pick, keep a high roster salary and limit the downside.

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 2 (Conf Semis) News Thread

Are the Pacers better when McConnell is on the floor over Hali? Sometimes. Haliburton is approaching enigma territory. He never seems to pressure the defense with drives, plays like Lonzo Ball on offense. I don't like it. I just don't think he's been right since he injured his hamstring.

Josh Giddey is getting traded to the Suns. Rumor or fantasy? Prediction. I threw that out a few days ago but don’t see it as super likely. I think if they did put him on the market, they could get more than we can offer. Also, James Jones had those “shooting” comments recently in terms of what he wa ...

It's so dumb that they have to build a $300m pier to deliver aid because Israel just bombs and destroys any trucks that try to drive through directly. How ridiculous is that? We have to build piers to get around the behavior of our *ally*.
You’re just making shit up at this point.
