Prove it. Its easy to claim Israel has targeted local and foreign media and I think that's all you have is a statement without proof. As for the Palestinians, lets talk about all of the Israelis and Jews who have been wounded or killed by terrorists in Israel and overseas.

The Arabs and the Palestinians chose war and terror starting in 1948, Israel is defending itself.

Parents aren't there. These are the kidnapped kids. If you were wondering what happened to them, you can stop wondering.

I'd very much guess there are more kids behind the stage with guns to their heads. "Do what we tell you or your new BFF is dead, and it'll be your fault."

Putin blew up his own people to get into power, what's a few more foreign kids' blood on his hands?

Right there with you. Solid GenX here.

Lately i'm just fucking speechless at the pro-Russian spew from the GOP.

Like, they've openly said - for fucking decades - that their goal is to destabilize and destroy as much of America as possible. Last I checked, that's still their perhaps largest geo-political aspiration.

Not to mention Putin has been nothing if not consistent in his desire to watch us burn. I sincerely believe that he's capable of 'pushing the button' taking us all out rather than being perceived as a failure on the world stage.

He's fucking dangerous in a way that's too often missed because he doesn't shout and pound tables.

Yup. When it comes to aircraft accidents, he's a great resource on getting factual information and analysis.

I've learned a lot about general aviation from watching his channel.

Israel will never uproot the major West Bank settlements. The deal would be 100% of the land area of the West Bank with land swaps to make up for the settlements. They’re too engrained. But I agree it’s terrible policy to create new settlements.

Israel uprooted 100% of its Gaza settlements in 2005 (and at the same time uprooted several WB settlements) and was rewarded with Hamas. If Gaza had become a democracy, it’s logical to presume settlements would have continued to be uprooted in the WB. But Gaza became a terror state and since the WB is much closer to Tel Aviv than Gaza, here we are.

The QAnon movement, among others, shows otherwise. Just show things close to a person's belief and then keep ramping up as they go down the rabbit hole. Jordan Petersen has been a gateway drug to right wing extremism for years (even before he went full mask off).
