Complete Siege
Plus: Against simplistic colonizer narratives, how Hamas evaded Israeli surveillance, our century of bad art, and more...
Overnight developments in Gaza: Earlier today, Israel regained control of the towns near Gaza that had been invaded by Hamas, in addition to full control of the Gaza fence.
This past weekend, the Palestinian militant group Hamas fired thousands of rockets at Israel and breached the border wall, catching the Israeli army off guard on a holiday. Hamas massacred, raped, and tortured hundreds of civilians, in many cases recording the killings and posting them on social media. At least 11 Americans have been killed over the last few days by Hamas, in addition to at least 900 Israelis, most of them civilians. More than 260 were killed when Hamas invaded a music festival, and 100-plus hostages have been taken, including children and the elderly.
In response, Israel ordered a "complete siege" of Gaza, cutting off their access to electricity, food, water, and fuel from Israel. A blockade has already been in place for 16 years, enforced by both Israel and Egypt. "The blockade restricts the import of goods, including electronic and computer equipment, that could be used to make weapons and prevents most people from leaving the territory," reports The New York Times.
Hamas says that, with each air strike that Israel rains down without warning, they will slaughter a hostage in retribution. The Israeli military claims to conduct "precision strikes" only, attempting to take out Hamas commanders and critical sites, not civilians. The military also frequently warns Gazans when offensives are coming. "Palestinians say that strikes on heavily populated areas amount to a collective punishment and that civilians have been targeted," per The New York Times.
In Gaza, roughly 2 million people—so the entire population—live in squalor. Half of adult Gazans are unemployed. The median age there is 18, compared to 28 worldwide (the Gazan fertility rate is extremely high; Hamas pressures women to have lots of children allegedly so they can have a larger army). Up until now, Israel had offered work permits, allowing many Gazans to flow across the border in search of jobs in agriculture, construction, and auto repair. Now, that lifeline is gone, and conditions have gotten a lot worse for inhabitants of the Strip, which includes almost a million children (or about half the population).
By the numbers: More than 150 Israeli hostages are currently being held in Gaza though Hamas doesn't seem certain as to the number. The total death toll for the conflict tops 1,500 with nearly 6,000 reported wounded. Israel is working to mobilize 300,000 army reservists, with those who had been traveling or living abroad getting priority flights home via El Al. The United Nations reports that 180,000 Gazans have been internally displaced due to the fighting.
A senior defense official in the U.S. says the military is "surging support" to Israel, including air defenses and munitions. "Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced Sunday that he has ordered American military ships, including an aircraft carrier and additional aircraft, to move closer to the eastern Mediterranean in response to Hamas' unprecedented, multi-fronted attack on Israel," per CBS News. Israel has been "the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II," according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, receiving $104.5 billion in military aid from the U.S. since 1947.
"Under discussion among some national-security hawks this weekend was a potential legislative package that lumps Israel aid in with a big Ukraine package that Congress is still trying to pass," reports Punchbowl News.
Under no circumstances do you have to hand it to Hamas: Many American leftists, from Harvard student groups to members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), seem to be gravitating toward disturbingly simplistic narratives that minimize the atrocities—massacres, rapes, and kidnappings, with many deaths livestreamed to Facebook pages and uploaded to TikTok—committed by Hamas.
"We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence," reads a recent statement issued by more than 50 Harvard student groups. "The apartheid regime is the only one to blame," they say.
"It's the easiest thing in the world to criticize Israeli policies toward the Palestinians, and to view the occupation of the West Bank and the isolation of Gaza (the result of a combination of Israeli policy, Egyptian policy, and the fact that Hamas rules Gaza) as fundamentally unjust, while also condemning the murder of civilians," writes Jesse Singal, criticizing the recent DSA rallies and statements.
"If basic moral principles aren't enough to sway groups like DSA toward decency, they should consider the impact their disgraceful performance will have on their ability to accomplish their own goals," adds Singal.
Scenes from New York:
At JFK Airport in Queens, the El Al counter is busy with Israeli army reservists checking in for flights back home to fight against Hamas. Some Brooklynites are tending to fellow Jews by providing food and donated supplies for those who must return to Israel.
QUICK HITS
- Simplistic colonizer narratives don't make sense here:
I think this is very poorly understood outside of Israel: something around half the population is full or part mizrahi. This is neither pure American-style settler colonialism, nor the British Raj. A lot of folks have mental models of Israel that are still stuck in the 1970s. https://t.co/Pfy6uo2Pbd

A conservative country is a nation where traditional values and practices are dominant within the society. These countries often have strict laws and regulations regarding social behaviors including public displays of affection, dress code, and gender roles. They also tend to be more religious in nature with strong ties to traditional religious practices and beliefs.

About religion.
Israel is a xenophobic stolen apartheid state. Jews have oppressed and terrorized Palestinians since they stole Palestine and started the Middle East conflict in 1948.
What business do we have promising unconditional support for a satanic religious cult? What do we get out of it?
Jews are all members of the same religious cult, Judaism, it isn’t a race.
While god in Christianity is the spirit of truth and Satan is the father of lies, the holiest Jewish prayer on their holiest day is clearly a plan to lie to people.
Here is the Kol Nidre text. Jews lie to themselves and others by claiming that it is about lying to god, not people. But the simplest logic demonstrates that lies can’t work on omnipresent beings like god who exist simultaneously in the past present and future.
“All vows, obligations, oaths, and anathemas [curses]which we may vow, or swear, or pledge, or whereby we may be bound, from this Day of Atonement until the next we do repent. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, and void, and made of no effect: they shall not bind us nor have any power over us. The vows shall not be reckoned vows; the obligations shall not be obligations; nor the oaths be oaths.”
Lying is coercion. It is compelling people with the false authority of truth to act in the liar’s interests instead of their own.
What wealth couldn’t you have if you could compel anyone to act in your interest instead of their own?
Freemasonry is a secret society of satanists who compel others with lies to act in their interests. It is an ancient pyramid scheme for wealth and power. It is rampant worldwide, one third of the founders were Freemasons and the group is symbolized with the pyramid on the US 1$ bill.
Jewish leaders have publicly claimed ownership of freemasonry. Secrets require lies and lies require secrets.
Here is an informative video made by a Freemason Altiyan Child’s who used the pyramid scheme to achieve wealth and fame but who later felt guilty and decided to expose it to the world instead.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPisjVhIZSc
How do we stop satanism? Simply, we criminalize lying.
Jews will need to find a new religion and won’t be getting unconditional support from anyone.
You two deserve each other. You should hook up.
You could go hunting for conservatives and Jews together. Maybe catch a little Hasidic Jewish boy in the evening for Pluggo to rape and Misek to rage kill after.
Thanks for demonstrating the thoughts that consume you.
We know that you’re a liar Kol Nidre boy.
You demonstrate what you are when you open your mouth.
The liar here is you, you psychotic nut.
I’m interested though in why you think this, “Kol Nidre boy” is an insult. It’s a prayer, so maybe it frightens demonic orcs like you.
The Kol Nidre is what all faithful Jews chant on their holiest day.
It is clearly a plan to lie to people.
Obviously, you advocate this behaviour.
That doesn’t make it any less insulting.
Wikipedia says: “Kol Nidre /ˈkɔːl nɪˈdreɪ/ (also known as Kol Nidrey or Kol Nidrei;[1] Aramaic: כָּל נִדְרֵי kāl niḏrē) is a Hebrew and Aramaic declaration which is recited in the synagogue before the beginning of the evening service”
If it frightens demons I’m okay with it.
The Kol Nidre is what all faithful Jews chant on their holiest day.
In which the hugely talented, centuries-old conspiracy that pulls the puppet strings behind the world manages to reveal their evil plan so openly and blatantly that even a moron like you can run around screaming about it every day.

Go back to Stormfront you Nazi faggot bitch. All you will get here is derisions and disgust. Except from the pedophile with whom you have so predictably allied yourself.
Or better yet, just commit suicide. No one could possibly ever love or respect you. You know I’m right.
Now, now Elmer! Stop defaming LGBTQ+ people by using our slur for Misek!

He’s not welcome in my Poly/Pan circle either! Orgies in his kind of showers aren’t much fun and cookware definitely doesn’t belong with his kind of oven!
I have no issue with gay people. But Misek is a faggot Nazi. ‘Faggot’ not necessarily being indicative of homosexuality.
Back again for more, Nazi boy?
More rubbing your face in your lies and bigotry. Absolutely!
You mean openly denying primary evidence and people laughing at your ignorance.
Your pathetic “evidence” has been refuted.
“Rob Misek 20 hours ago
You consider that some unidentified bodies in a grave during a war is irrefutable evidence of a holocaust eh? Fuckwit.
The story from a nation that defines the proof refuting any claim of a holocaust a crime eh? Fuckwit”
I’m pleased with these optics.
When did you refute it? Saying nuh uh is not a refutation.
Misek, another ass-clown of the commentariat, lies. It’s all he ever does. Misek is a Nazi, and a pathological liar, entirely too stupid to understand that what he posts is no more than bigoted lies.
If he posts anything that isn’t a bigoted antisemitic lie, it’s totally accidental.
Misek lies; it’s what he does. Misek is a lying Nazi antisemitic piece of shit.
/apologies to Sevo.
The Holocaust is a proven fact you stupid faggot. There is an ocean of evidence. While you have scraps of ravings from fringe elements that are not evidence in any logical sense of the word.
The holocaust is a lie.
I’ve refuted key elements of that lie with correctly applied logic and science right here countless times and none of you fuckwits have ever refuted anything that I’ve said.
It’s delicious that you’re desperate to refute something, anything that I’ve said, but can’t. Hahaha
Nuh uh.
There. Refuted.
I’ve refuted key elements of that lie with correctly applied logic and science right here countless times
No, you haven’t. You’ve simply declared that all of the evidence is fabricated and every single person who claims to be an eyewitness is an actor being paid by the International Jewish Conspiracy. For you, all evidence is evidence of the conspiracy, and the total lack of evidence for your position is just evidence of how well the Truth is being covered up.
There is literally no point arguing with someone like you because you are not mentally fit.
And let us not forget that your primary source was written by a guy who also wrote a book arguing that Paul McCartney died in a car accident in 1966 and was replaced by an actor, which they then couldn’t help but brag about on their album covers and hint at in their songs, because that’s what all the clever conspiracists do.
And still you stomp your feet, clench your fists and cry that no one takes you seriously.
You wouldn’t know how to correctly apply logic if it had it’s arm up your ass and was working your mouth like a ventriloquist’s dummy.
Is there a single forensic investigator anywhere in the world who would pretend that attempting to do DNA sequencing would produce anything usable if attempted on whatever’s left in mass graves of hundreds (or in some cases thousands) of bodies buried without any kind of preservation for more than 40 years before the most primitive versions of the technology was invented? That tech in the 1990s had trouble with freshly collected blood if there were samples from 2 or more individual people combined, the idea that it could make any sense of what’s left after complete decomposition of corpses that were stacked 5 or 10 deep in bare dirt is every bit as insane as the rest of your fever dreams.
The fact that a futile some series of unproductive testing on material that wouldn’t be expected to produce meaningful results wasn’t done proves only that the people running the labs understand their business.

The holocaust is a lie.
Nice to know what we’re dealing with here. Maybe you need your ass dragged through Auschwitz and beat over the head with Mein Kampf where Hitler says exactly what he’s going to do, including the Holocaust.
Tell me, Nazi, where did those 6 million Jews and 6 million others (Roma, handicapped, political prisoners, Slavs) go?
I’ve refuted that bullshit propaganda story countless times and to date none of you fuckwits have ever refuted anything that I’ve said.
There are only two possible explanations for this.
First, I’ve shared the truth that cannot be refuted.
Second, you’re too stupid to refute what you deny.
Which is it fuckwitS?
The following points refute key elements of the holocaust with logic and science. Truth can’t be refuted.
There has been no objective forensic analysis at any supposed site. There is no physical evidence. Any activity that demonstrates and shares evidence to refute the holocaust is a crime in every nation where it allegedly occurred.
The fact that all evidence that refutes the holocaust is criminal in every nation where it allegedly occurred is especially relevant if you are accepting any evidence at all from those nations.
Refusing to consider evidence is the definition of bias, bigotry and a disregard for justice.
Without objective forensic evidence all we have is a story made up of piecemeal recollections of events from paid and coerced fuckwitnesses.
I refute those stories with correctly applied logic and science.
The crucial event of the story is the cyanide gassing of millions of Jews. That couldn’t have happened as claimed. The story is bullshit.
Jews have published books illustrated with pictures of themselves shirtless dragging piles of gassed bodies from the chambers to cremation ovens.
But cyanide is absorbed through the skin and NOBODY could have survived a single day of such activity much less collecting reparations into their old age reminiscing about it years later.
Those fuckwitnesses lied.
Anyone who ever saw the naked body of somebody who died from cyanide asphyxiation would NEVER forget the red skin colour. The bodies necessary reaction to being unable to process oxygen.
Not a single surviving fuckwitness ever mentioned it.
Also, no dark cherry red skin discolouration was visible in any supposed photographs of bodies of so-called victims of the holocaust.
The fact is that you can’t explain it and your bigotry prevents you from recognizing the ONLY logical conclusion.
Not a single fuckwitness testimony or alleged photograph of bodies was of anyone who died from cyanide exposure.
So much for the “evidence” of a holocaust.
And so it goes with every bullshit story told by paid and coerced lying fuckwitnesses. The facts prove otherwise.
Have you ever heard of the Bletchley park decrypts of the famous German enigma machines? It was credited for turning the tide of the war as allies knew what military actions the Germans were planning.
Only released in the 1980s those translated messages included prison camp information, deaths, transfers and requests for medicines to treat illnesses. The numbers of dead don’t support the holocaust narrative of which there was also no mention of.
Here are some actual enigma decrypts from Bletchley park in 1942 when deaths were at their highest.
Covering the period 3rd Aug. 1942 – 25th Sept. 1942
A further examination is made of Concentration Camp figures; deaths from typhus have reached a very high figure in AUSCHWITZ.
A suspected case of typhus is reported from AUSCHWITZ (223b/42). It is probable that on the 6th August Nachschubkdtr. Russland Mitte requests typhus vaccine for 50 men and spottenfever serum for 20
For the first time returns are given for deaths of prisoners (223b/14,24,43,50): the figures for August are: NIEDERHAGEN 21, AUSCHWITZ 6829 (or 6889) men, 1525 women;.
Firstly the number of dead for the month are nowhere near what is necessary to support the holocaust narrative.
Secondly, notable is the concern over typhus deaths and the requests for medical supplies to treat.
Thirdly, are you willing and eager to perform the feeble mental gymnastics required to believe, as the story goes, that Germans were communicating in code about prison camps while talking plainly about their military actions with their top secret enigma machines?
That would require you to really believe that Germany INTENTIONALLY lost the war to cover up the holocaust while ostensibly leaving lying witnesses alive in the prison camps to tell their stories as they retreated. The contradiction refutes the story.
Let’s not forget another old timey favourite.The story of Babi Yar is a popular lesson in Jewish schools described as the single largest event of the holocaust.
The lesson is that between 30,000 and 100,000 Jews were taken to a ravine in Ukraine where they were killed.
The story is told by one Jewish survivor, Dina Pronicheva, an actress who testified that she was forced to strip naked and marched to the edge of the ravine. When the firing squad shot, she jumped into the ravine and played dead. After being covered by thousands of bodies and tons of earth she dug herself out, unscathed, when the coast was clear and escaped to tell the story.
She is apparently the only person in history to successfully perform a matrix bullet dodge at a firing squad. The soldier aiming point blank at her never noticed her escape. Never walked a few steps to the edge of the ravine to finish her off.
They were stripped naked to leave no evidence. Naked she had no tools to dig herself out from under 30,000 bodies and tons of dirt.
Only after the deed was done, the nazis realized that so many bullet ridden bodies were evidence. Oops, rookie move. So they brought more Jews and millions of cubic feet of firewood to dig them up, cremate them on gravestones and scatter their ashes in surrounding fields.
There has been no forensic investigation at the site. None of the bullets allegedly burned with the bodies have been recovered. Not one shred of physical evidence of this has ever been found.
There are military aerial photographs of the area at the time but they don’t show any evidence of the narrative, no people, no equipment, no firewood, no moved earth, no tracks of any kind.
Simply stating these facts is a crime in Ukraine where the Babi Yar narrative is taught in school.
The numbers of dead from German enigma decrypts does align with Red Cross numbers.
The Red Cross was founded in 1863 with the purpose of protecting the interests of victims of conflicts.
The Red Cross regularly visited all prison camps. It was their job to report the cause of all deaths. They recorded a grand total of 271,000 among all camps for the entire war. It is a matter of record.
The holocaust fairytale requires us to believe that they were so unaware of what might be happening that they completely missed 95% of the victims in prison camps.
AND that they had not so much as an inkling that a holocaust was going on right under their noses even though allied media propaganda was reporting it and it was their sole mission to identify it. Because there is no evidence of any Red Cross document suggesting they did.
Are you performing those feeble mental gymnastics? How gullible are you?
Zyklon B is an off the shelf insecticide used among other places in Prison camps to delouse clothing and bedding to save lives by preventing deadly typhus. The system used for years before and during the war throughout Europe employed heating to release cyanide gas, fans to circulate the gas and more to exhaust the chambers to make the de loused articles safe to handle.
Pictures of this equipment and the small de lousing buildings with clothing racks still exist in Prison camps. But no evidence of any gas delivery system has ever been found in the shower houses where the bullshit holocaust allegedly occurred. In fact, the story has changed to that they just threw the heat activated pellets onto the cold drainless floors in rooms full of people.
Such an inefficient method would have taken too long to kill the required number of Jews. The pellets couldn’t be spread evenly in rooms full of people. The cold drainless floors would have delayed the release of cyanide from the pellets that people would have swept away from themselves. Any dead would have released all their bodily fluids and their bodies covering the pellets. Vomit would have been added to the floor prior to entering such a room.
According to the testimony of the so called survivor, the timing entering the chambers immediately, the details shirtless survivor, piles of bodies with unvented cyanide gas pockets in every space, death from repeated exposure as per testimony would have been necessary, not just possible.
According to Martin Gilbert in his book, Holocaust Journey, the gas chambers at Treblinka utilized carbon monoxide from diesel engines. At the Nuremberg trial of the Nazi war criminals, the American government charged that the Jews were murdered at Treblinka in “steam chambers,” not gas chambers.
Gasoline engine exhaust contains about ten times the carbon monoxide than diesel. Diesel exhaust is relatively safe. Even if the Diesel engines were running at their maximum of 500 ppm, death would take several hours. Far too long to support the narrative.
If Germans had used gasoline engines, death would have been in a few minutes. But in the holocaust narrative for treblinka diesel was used even though Germany had plenty of gasoline for their tanks. Nuremberg still recorded that they were “steam chambers”.
Somebody is lying. They weren’t both steam chambers and diesel gas chambers.Which stupid lie is more believable? Does it even matter to you?
The story of gassing Jews began as British propaganda to turn popular opinion against Germany. It was inspired to draw attention away from Jewish Bolshevik war crimes in Russia because that would work against allied propaganda. It also served global Jewish interests to create undeserved sympathy for Jews who had publicly organized boycotts of Germany to drive Germany to war.
There is a documented letter from the head of British propaganda to the head of the war office recommending that they cease the “gassing Jews“ propaganda because there was no evidence for it and if found out would work against their propaganda efforts.
Head of British Psychological Warfare Executive (Propaganda), Victor Cavendish-Bentick in a handwritten note, wrote on Aug 27th, 1943,
“We have had a good run for our money with this gas chamber story we have been putting about, but don’t we run the risk eventually we are going to be found out and when we are found out the collapse of that lie is going to bring the whole of our psychological warfare down with it? So isn’t it rather time now to let it drift off by itself and concentrate on other lines that we are running.”
Public Record Office Document F0371/34551 revealed by Stephen Mitford Goodson, ‘Inside the South African Reserve Bank’.
Jews had been publicly claiming a holocaust of 6 million Jews in various nations no less than 166 times between 1900 and 1945. Only to coerce sympathy to raise money. Like the wastes of skin who fake cancer on go fund me pages.
What’s the probability after being proven lying about 6 million Jewish deaths by holocaust over 166 times that the 167th claim is true? Better to buy a lottery ticket. Though the bullshiit narrative has been like a lottery bonanza for Jews.
The only thing the bullshit holocaust narrative has in common with WW2 is that they were both the creation of Jews.
These Jewish leaders are admitting it. Are they lying?
They are properly referenced quotes from Jewish leaders demonstrating that they had intended to create and force Germany into WW2.
That kind of evil is absolutely relevant when considering the character required to lie to the world about a holocaust for the 167 th time.
“We Jews are going to bring a war on Germany”. David A Brown, national chairman, united Jewish campaign, 1934.
“The Israeli people around the world declare economic and financial war against Germany …holy war against Hitlers people”
Chaim Weismann, the Zionist leader, 8 September 1939, Jewish chronicle.
The Toronto evening telegram of 26 February 1940 quoted rabbi Maurice l. Perlzweig of the world Jewish Congress as telling a Canadian audience that” The world Jewish Congress has been at war with Germany for seven years”.
Dude, GFY, lying Nazi sack of shit.
Dude! Like you need to learn to beg better.
Hahaha
Right……..
Your ravings and obscure fringe links outweigh thousands of eyewitness accounts (including WW2 vets I personally knew), photographic evidence, forensic evidence, confessions of Nazi conspirators, and all of the Nuremberg proceedings.
Are you truly this retardedly delusional? If so, just kill yourself. You have no business stealing any more oxygen.
The fact that you think you’ve proven a negative (that something absolutely didn’t happen at a time/place where you weren’t present actually proves definitively that you don’t actually understand the meaning of “properly applied logic”.
The fact that there were fairly detailed records kept and testimony confirming those records by the people who were there and did it themselves isn’t something that’s in any way “refuted” by your baseless claims that every witness (and confessors who ended up being executed because “I was following orders when I did it” was deemed an invalid defense at tribunal) was bribed.
Unidentified bodies in graves alone isn’t proof, but bodies in mass graves combined with records of non-combatant people having been brought to that location in huge numbers and not leaving (or still being alive at the end of the war) tends to point in a certain direction, and the fact that levels of forensic analysis which weren’t invented until decades later were never done at sites where they’d have no hope of reaching any conclusive result other than confirming that hundreds or thousands of bodies were all left to decompose together under a shallow layer of soil (and in many areas wildlife and the public were allowed to pass through and “contaminate” the the area for 70+ years since then) haven’t been attempted at those sites now only proves that there’s little interest in wasting the time and resources of the labs that do that analysis.
There’s no need to refute your baseless claims, and it seems like all of your “evidence” amounts to subjective interpretation, incomplete translations, and statements of opinion made by self-declaring activists in support of their chosen cause.
Quod gratis assertur, gratis negatur.
The only people I’m bigoted against are bigots (like you) and stupid people (also like you).
Bigotry is demonstrated by the refusal to consider counter arguments. Are you refusing to consider this fact?
Hatred is conflict. Conflict in speech results from lying.
If you think I’ve lied, refute the lie.
If you can’t refute what you deny and refuse to consider that it might be truth YOU are demonstrating the behaviour of a hateful bigot.
This irrefutable evidence of correctly applied logic and science is how I discern truth, not by the hateful bleating of bigoted sheeple like you.
I’ve considered your comments, and I find you and them severely lacking and severely full of antisemitic shit. Tell me, how much of your garbage that you spew here comes out of the highly discredited Protocols of the Elders of Zion? You do know that everything in that book is false and a hoax, right?
You may have considered my arguments but who would ever know it? You have never addressed them. Talk about lacking!
Simply identifying the corrupt behaviour of Jews is your criteria for being a Nazi which you use to justify your bigotry.
You certainly have never proven that I am one or even refuted anything that I’ve said.
A simple link to and description of what you think you’ve ever proven or refuted will do fuckwit.
I’ve read your comments, antisemite, and I find you to be an asshole, fucktard.
“…A simple link to and description of what you think you’ve ever proven or refuted will do fuckwit…”
Fuckface, you’ve been handed your hat many times. While we all know it, you are simply entirely too stupid to understand it.
You are, in fact, too stupid to understand simple concepts such as “relevance” and what constitutes evidence.
Not sure if you have to be abysmally stupid to become a Nazi or if becoming one makes you that way, but regardless, you are one DUMB fuck.
Piss off and die.
Hahaha
Misek, another ass-clown of the commentariat, lies. It’s all he ever does. Misek is a Nazi, and a pathological liar, entirely too stupid to understand that what he posts is no more than bigoted lies.
If he posts anything that isn’t a bigoted antisemitic lie, it’s totally accidental.
Misek lies; it’s what he does. Misek is a lying Nazi, Holocaust-denying, antisemitic piece of shit.
You certainly have never proven that I am one or even refuted anything that I’ve said.
Guy who’s here celebrating the massacre of Jews, openly calling for their genocide, and denying the Holocaust ever happened thinks someone else needs to provide evidence that he’s a Nazi.
Who is?
Can you prove it?
Who is?
Can you prove it?
You. And yes, I can prove it by referencing everything you’ve posted on this very page.
And just to note in passing, Holy Christ you are one stupid motherfucker.
Misek, as much as I hate to say it, makes Pluggo look smart, and that’s not saying much.
Bigotry is demonstrated by the refusal to consider counter arguments. Are you refusing to consider this fact?
Oh the irony.
“Bigotry is demonstrated by the refusal to consider counter arguments. Are you refusing to consider this fact?”
Ignorance is demonstrated by the lack of awareness that you’ve yet to make a meaningful argument other than subjective expressions of opinion and creative (if we’re being kind with the description) interpretations of the significance of certain fragments of information.
You’ve repeatedly claimed that every eyewitness account confirming the events of the Holocaust and the organized implementation of what the highest levels of the 3rd Reich Government called “The Final Solution” was from someone who’d been somehow bribed, but you have yet to present “receipts” or records of such financial transactions (or even records indicating that any of them might have happened). By your own standard of how to respond to any factual assertion without substantiation, this claim is a lie, and you for having made it are a liar.
“If you think I’ve lied, refute the lie.”
As you’re fond of saying, it’s not on us to refute your lies, it’s on you to substantiate your claims or else admit you’re lying. Produce objective proof that every eyewitness to the events of the holocaust and the conditions of the camps when they were liberated (including thousands of US, British, and Russian soldiers and many of the German solders who had been assigned to guard the camps and to carry out the genocide, including those who testified in their own trials at Nuremburg) was bribed to tell the same false story, or else you’re proving yourself to be a liar by having repeatedly made that claim as an assertion of fact. Or are you just clinging to the idea that they were all bribed as an excuse to not consider the aggregate weight of all their accounts and testimonies (and are therefore, by your own definition, a bigot)?
You are a Nazi.
As a Nazi, you are, above all else, a craven coward.
You are afraid to compete with others as equals because you know you
can not measure up.
You are afraid of your own inadequacy, so you want to murder your
betters.
You are afraid of the truth, so you want to murder those who would
tell it.
You are afraid of history, so you want to murder the past, to wipe
out the knowledge of the degeneracy, cowardice and failure of National
Socialism.
Finally, you are afraid of the power of educated, informed adults.
Freedom of choice terrifies you… which is why you choose minor children
as sexual partners. You can not interact with competent adults in a
consensually sexual way. You need to be able to impose yourself on a
helpless victim, be it a prepubescent boy, or a patient in a mental
hospital.
That is what you are, a Nazi, and there is nothing polite or honest
about it.
The fact that you can’t prove your claims demonstrates that you are a liar and as such there can be nothing that you have to say that anyone needs to hear.
As a proven liar, Kol Nidre boy, you disqualify yourself from rational discussion.
You are a nithing- homo sapiens by birth, subhuman BY CHOICE. The
key word is CHOICE. You were born with the same human nature as the
rest of us. Your CHOICES made you a nithing.
Bill explains what nithings are.

Define and Dehumanize the Enemy: Jihadists as Nithings or Nidings
by Bill Levinson
It is an ancient principle of magic (which modern people recognize as
stories that reflect a society’s culture and psychology) that
knowledge of a person’s real or True Name delivers power over that
person. What it really means is that, if you know the person’s
psychology, you can gain an advantage over him. It is also well known
that the side that controls the language of an argument controls the
argument. As an example, Hamas terrorists and their enablers refer to
Israel’s military as an “occupation force” and terrorisitic violence
against civilians as “resistance.”
We have long sought a single word that strips the enemy of all
humanity, and reduces him to something less than an animal that is
worthy of nothing less than extermination. As far as we know, the
English language contains no such word, although “dreck” (garbage or
refuse) comes close. “Homo sapiens by BIRTH, subhuman by CHOICE”
describes Islamic supremacists perfectly, but it is a phrase and not a
word. We now propose to refer to Islamic supremacists as nithings or
nidings: a Scandinavian word that strips its object of all humanity.
Webster’s dictionary (1913) defines it as “A coward; a dastard; — a
term of utmost opprobrium.”
We remind readers who object to the dehumanization of Islamic
supremacists that those enemies are already attempting to dehumanize
Jews, and to a lesser degree Christians, with images that could have
come directly from Adolf Hitler. As they have chosen to sow the
dragon’s teeth, our position is that they must now reap their rightful
harvest: the complete hatred and loathing of all civilized human
beings.
nithings
Nithing or niding was more than a common insult, because Scandinavian
culture required its subject to fight a duel with the accuser or
become an outlaw: totally devoid of rights, honor, and even
recognition as a human being. Per the Wikipedia entry,
The actual meaning of the adjective argr or ragr [= Anglo-Saxon
earg] was the nature or appearance of effeminacy, especially by
obscene acts. Argr was the worst, most derogatory swearword of all
known to the Norse language. According to Icelandic law, the accused
was expected to kill the accuser at once. …If the accused did not
retort by violent attack yielding either the accuser to take his words
back or the accuser’s death, he was hence proven to be a weak and
cowardly nithing by not retorting accordingly.
A nithing was devoid of all human rights, and he was considered the
enemy of civilized humanity: a perfect depiction of Islamic
supremacists. The word therefore strips the enemy of all humanity, and
degrades him to the status of a wolf or strangler (per Scandinavian
tradition) or a virulent disease like the Black Plague. Black Plague
is a deadly and contagious disease whose vector consists of plague-
carrying rats, while the Green Plague of militant “Islam” is a deadly
and contagious ideology that is spread by bipedal rats: nidings or
nithings, non-humans that raise violent hands to all of civilized
Humanity.
The immediate consequence of being proven a nithing was
outlawing. The outlawed did not have any rights, he was exlex (Latin
for “outside of the legal system”), in Anglo-Saxon utlah, Middle Low
German uutlagh, Old Norse utlagr. Just as feud yielded enmity among
kinships, outlawry yielded enmity of all humanity.[63] …”Yet that is
but one aspect of outlawry. The outlaw is not only expelled from the
kinship, he is also regarded henceforth as an enemy to mankind.”
The actual definition of a nithing is somewhat more involved and
complex, and it gets into sexual perversions and zoomorphical
transformations (Loki’s transformation of himself into a mare to have
sexual intercourse with a stallion, and thus beget Odin’s horse
Sleipner is probably an example), but the following line is pertinent:
“The nithing used its malicious seid magic to destroy anything owned
and made by man, ultimately the human race and Midgard itself[6], due
to its basically unlimited envy, hate, and malice that were nith.”
“Destruction of everything owned and made by Man” (the Palestinians’
destruction of the greenhouses in Gaza comes to mind immediately) and
“unlimited envy, hate, and malice” describe militant “Islam”
perfectly, and further underscore the application of nithing or niding
to describe it. The propensity for mindless destruction also appears
in Orson Scott Card’s Alvin Maker series, in which a supernatural
enemy is known as the Unmaker: a personification of evil that is the
total antithesis of God the Creator.
The Unmaker is the main antagonist in Orson Scott Card’s
alternate history/fantasy series The Tales of Alvin Maker. Never
directly confronted, it is a supernatural force that breaks apart
matter and aims to destroy and consume everything and everyone. …To
make something is to oppose the Unmaker, but a point often made is
that this is futile. By natural law the Unmaker can tear down faster
than any man can build.
This also is an outstanding definition of militant “Islam” or Islamic
supremacy: an ideology that seeks to destroy everything into which it
comes in contact, and with which no reason, negotiation, or compromise
is possible.
In summary, a nithing or niding is the enemy of Civilization, a
subhuman (through its behavioral choices, and emphatically NOT due to
its racial or ethnic origin) monster with total hatred and malice
toward all human industry and arts, and worthy of nothing but
extermination like any virulent disease. This is the word we will now
apply to Islamic supremacists and their enablers, and we encourage
others to do likewise.
You’re a proven liar.
I have no interest in reading your drivel other than to refute it whenever I please and rub your face in it.
Like I just did.
Nuh uh. Again refuted.

Read that sentence over and over again, slowly, to yourself, until you understand why everyone thinks you’re an idiot.
The following article explains your pathology.

History’s oldest hatred
By Jeff Jacoby
Globe Columnist / March 11, 2009
Email|Print|Single Page||Text size – +
ANTI-SEMITISM is an ancient derangement, the oldest of hatreds, so
it is strange that it lacks a more meaningful name. The misnomer
“anti-Semitism” – a term coined in 1879 by the German agitator Wilhelm
Marr, who wanted a scientific-sounding euphemism for Judenhass, or
Jew-hatred – is particularly inane, since hostility to Jews has never
had anything to do with Semites or being Semitic.
Perhaps there is no good name for a virus as mutable as anti-Semitism.
“The Jews have been objects of hatred in pagan, religious, and secular
societies,” write Joseph Telushkin and Dennis Prager in “Why the Jews?,”
their classic study of anti-Semitism. “Fascists have accused them of
being Communists, and Communists have branded them capitalists. Jews who
live in non-Jewish societies have been accused of having dual loyalties,
while Jews who live in the Jewish state have been condemned as
‘racists.’ Poor Jews are bullied, and rich Jews are resented. Jews have
been branded as both rootless cosmopolitans and ethnic chauvinists. Jews
who assimilate have been called a ‘fifth column,’ while those who stay
together spark hatred for remaining separate.”
There was Jew-hatred before there was Christianity or Islam, before
Nazism or Communism, before Zionism or the Middle East conflict. This
week Jews celebrate the festival of Purim, gathering in synagogues to
read the biblical book of Esther. Set in ancient Persia, it tells of
Haman, a powerful royal adviser who is insulted when the Jewish sage
Mordechai refuses to bow down to him. Haman resolves to wipe out the
empire’s Jews and makes the case for genocide in an appeal to the king:
“There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among . . . all the
provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different from those of
other peoples, and the king’s laws they do not keep, so it is of no
benefit for the king to tolerate them. If it please the king, let it be
written that they be destroyed.”
When the king agrees, Haman makes plans “to annihilate, to kill and
destroy all the Jews, the young and the elderly, children and women, in
one day . . . and to take their property for plunder.”
What drives such bloodlust? Haman’s indictment accuses the Jews of
lacking national loyalty, of insinuating themselves throughout the
empire, of flouting the king’s law. But the Jews of Persia had done
nothing to justify Haman’s murderous anti-Semitism – just as Jews in
later ages did nothing that justified their persecution under the Church
or Islam, or their repression at the hands of Russian czars and Soviet
commissars, or their slaughter by Nazi Germany. When the president of
Iran today calls for the extirpation of the Jewish state, when firebombs
are hurled at synagogues in London and Paris and Chicago, it is not
because Jews deserve to be victimized.
Many Jews are no saints, but the paranoid frenzy that is anti-Semitism
is not explained by what Jews do, but by what they are. They are the
object of anti-Semitism, not its cause. That is why the haters’
rationales can be so wildly inconsistent and their agendas so
contradictory. What do those who vilify Jews as greedy bankers have in
common with those who revile them as fiendish Bolsheviks? Nothing, save
an irrational obsession with Jews.
At one point, Haman lets the mask slip. He boasts to his friends and
family of “the glory of his riches, and the great number of his sons,
and everything in which the king had promoted him and elevated him.”
Still, he seethes with rage and frustration: “Yet all this is worthless
to me so long as I see Mordechai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
That is the unforgivable offense: “Mordechai the Jew” refuses to blend
in, to be just like everyone else. He goes on sitting there –
undigested, unassimilated, and therefore unbearable.
Of course Haman had his ostensible reasons for targeting Jews. So did
Hitler and Arafat, so does Ahmadinejad. Sometimes the anti-Semite
focuses on the Jew’s religion, sometimes on his laws and lifestyle,
sometimes on his professional achievements. Under it all, however, it is
the Jew’s Jewishness that the anti-Semite cannot abide.
With all their flaws and failings, the Jewish people endure, their role
in history not yet finished. So the world’s oldest hatred endures too,
as obsessive and indestructible – and deadly – as ever.
Maybe people have just always hated Jews corrupt behaviour.
It’s nothing to be proud of Jew.
Misek, another ass-clown of the commentariat, lies. It’s all he ever does. Misek is a Nazi, and a pathological liar, entirely too stupid to understand that what he posts is no more than bigoted lies.
If he posts anything that isn’t a bigoted antisemitic lie, it’s totally accidental.
Misek lies; it’s what he does. Misek is a lying Nazi, Holocaust-denying, antisemitic piece of shit.

Keep saying Kol Nidre, it is a very persuasive talking point.
It works for me.
So does masturbation.

Please, don’t harsh self-pleasure. I don’t want Herr Misek in my head like that.

Yes. Clearly. This is one of many, many reasons why everyone thinks you’re an idiot.

A self inflicted gunshot to the head would also work.
Best thing for you really. Your comments are going nowhere.
It works ON you. The only person who believes your drivel is yourself, especially when you refuse to meet the standard of proof which you attempt to hold others to.
None of us need to prove you’re a liar because by your own definition, you’re proving it yourself with every post.
Repeating empty platitudes which only convince yourself is something which makes masturbation seem productive by comparison.
Or should we assume you’re left-handed since “kol nidre boy” is mostly on the right hand side of the keyboard?
The Holocaust is a proven fact you dumb cunt.
Ya, you know all those conservative groups who simp for China and backwards middle eastern countries.
Oh wait, those are almost all liberals, progressives, and socialists simping for the backwards, authoritarian, terrorists
Conservatives hate plurality, dude. They strive to keep their respective cultures “pure”. Blood and Soil. Make (insert country) Great Again.
“Conservatives hate plurality, dude.”
Now you’re just spitting out random shit and hoping to get a rise.
Bullshit.
“Preserving the traditional hierarchy” is the essence of conservatism.
(see definition above) Words have meaning, you know. You just can’t redefine a term to suit your argument.
Liberal defines words a day says things, shtike treats it as fact.
It was Hillary talking about deprogramming the masses just last week dumdum.
What does that have to do with your accusation?
And your made-up definition that inserted “hierarchy” in the place of “traditional institutions, customs, and values” aside, today’s traditional values are liberalism from the sixties. Probably why a radical fascist like you hates it.
turd never does anything but lie. turd lies when he knows he’s lying. turd lies when we know he’s lying. turd lies when he knows that we know he’s lying.
turd lies. turd is a lying pile of lefty shit and a pederast besides.
You’re pals with the resident Nazi kook. How does that make you feel Shreek? I’m sure your lord and master, Soros, would approve. As he loves Nazis too.
He’s projecting. Doesn’t seem to be aware of how obvious the strawmanning and projection are. Which adds lack of self-awareness to his weaknesses.
You mean every western government since WW2? Who has opposed Israeli terrorism?
Challenge your bigotry and watch the three minute segment of the video I’ve presented below. After all, it is a prominent Jew speaking.
I would prefer to hear from both sides before making a decision.
Which mainstream media outlet is interviewing the Palestinians in Israel, particularly the West Bank who have experienced 75 years of Jewish terrorism, apartheid and oppression while their homes and communities are bulldozed and new Jewish ones are built in their place?
Let’s hear from the Palestinians to recount what Jews have done since they promised to bring the US into WW1 in exchange for the British promise of Palestine via the Balfour Declaration.
Hell, since that won’t happen in our environment of propaganda and censorship, listen to an uncommon Jew tell the truth.
Miko Peled is an Israeli, an author, a public speaker and the son of a famous Israeli general.
He is also opposed to Israeli apartheid of Palestinians.
In the following video he puts into perspective what you won’t see in our western propaganda.
Between 40:40 and 43:45 in the video he describes Israeli terrorism.

Fuck off and die, Nazi shit-pile.
Challenge your bigotry and watch the three minute segment of the video I’ve presented below. After all, it is a prominent Jew speaking
I though all Jews were liars?
Only faithful ones.
So the ones who betray their oaths are the trustworthy ones?
Misek, another ass-clown of the commentariat, lies. It’s all he ever does. Misek is a Nazi, and a pathological liar, entirely too stupid to understand that what he posts is no more than bigoted lies.

If you love the Palestinians, then why not rail against both Al-Fatah and Hamas locating their military weapons among civilians, where civilians inevitably get injured or killed when the Israelis strike back against terror?
If you love the Palestinians, why not support their Individual Right to peacefully protest against the corruption of their self-proclaimed Hamas “leaders” in The Palestinian Authority, instead of supporting the Hamas thugs who forcibly suppress the Palestinian protesters?
If you love the Palestinians, why not support Palestinians who exercise their Individual Rights and renounce Islam and religion, who are subject to violence and murder by their so-called Muslim “brothers?”
If you love the Palestinians, why not support equal Individual Rights for Palestinian women, who like other women under Islam are regarded as less than full citizens and are the property of their Fathers and Husbands?
If you love the Palestinians, then why not support LGBTQ+ Palestinians and their Individual Rights to live their own lives and love whom they choose, against their so-called Muslim “brothers” who throw LGBTQ+ people off of cliffs in the country and off of buildings in the cities?
I think we all know the answer to this: You don’t favor Individual Rights for anyone, including Palestinians.
You favor “The Common Good Over Individual Good” like a certain 25-Point Party Platform that held that Individual Rights be damned.
And we all know who wrote that Party Platform, right?
Fuck Off, Nazi!
Here is what Israel has been working on for a while to kill terrorists against their citizens without collateral damage to innocent civilians:

This something neither Islamofascists nor your ilk could or would come up with in 100,000 years relying only on your supposedly “holy” texts of The Holy Bible, Al-Qu’ran, and Mein Kampf.
Fuck Off, Nazi!
When it’s communists or Muslim fundamentalists doing it, the left considers it to be “culture”, not “authoritarianism”, and “you can’t judge other cultures”…
To the left, it’s only “authoritarian” or “fascist” if it’s being done by someone they voted against but who they also know won’t react to criticism with violence.
Anyone calling NK a conservative country is more retarded than you are.
Liberals have this constant delusion that they can simply declare anything bad as conservative. It is a religion. The same as a hard-core Christian claiming anything bad that happens is the work of the devil.
North Korea is very conservative. Preserving their heritage is the top priority.
turd lies. turd lies when he knows he’s lying. turd lies when we know he’s lying. turd lies when he knows that we know he’s lying.
turd lies. turd is a lying pile of lefty shit and a pederast besides.
The entire God worship done by their current leaders father was a disruption of their culture you retarded fuck. Due to the overthrow you can claim it was a liberal government using your bullshit definitions.
Shreek is really doubling down on being brain dead today. That 9 year old boy hogtied in his closet must be playing hard to get.
Sure.
But what matters more to libertarians is the degree of authority claimed and imposed by government.
Would you rather live in a laissez-faire conservative country or a totalitarian liberal country?
He prefers the latter, controlled by Soros.
Anyone else take note that Pluggo is associating with a real anti-semite burning with hatred for Jews and Israel while calling everyone else an anti-semite for calling out George Soros and opposing his “Open Society”?
totalitarian liberal is an oxymoron.
But I would choose liberal Sweden over conservative, oil-based, religious, low-tax Saudi Arabia.
Really? How would you define Hillary’s vision for America? Or any of the big-government progressive visions?
Hillary’s vision for America?
Don’t know. Don’t care.
turd always lies. turd lies when he knows he’s lying. turd lies when we know he’s lying. turd lies when he knows that we know he’s lying.
turd lies. turd is a lying pile of lefty shit and a pederast besides.
Socialists and communists all believe they are liberal. Fomenting change and living off the work of others.
Try again.
Good , move to Malmo, go for the plurality stay for the diversity.
I guess the word “liberal” has been pretty corrupted to often mean the opposite of what it once did. But that doesn’t mean we have to use it as a synonym of “left-wing” or “progressive”. “Totalitarian liberal” should be an oxymoron.
Maybe it should be, but in US political jargon “liberal” has come to mean significantly left of center, with overlap into “progressive”. We have to use “classical liberal” to signify philosophies more in tune with historical meaning.
So while “totalitarian liberal” might seem like a contraction, plenty of people who call themselves liberal are proving it more correct–and more possible.
North Korea is a communist country.
I mean since before 1948 their government has not been a continuous cultural center dumbass. Less than 100 years.
https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/History_of_North_Korea
So your definition of conservative is just dumb.
Actual liberal ideals have nothing at all to do with the modern “left-right” political spectrum, especially in the USA over the last 20 years.
Actual liberal ideas are centered around individual sovereignty and authority deriving from the consent of the governed; that’s why so many libertarians refer to their worldview being “classical liberalism”. It’s only in the places where the Democratic Party and their media proxies are controlling discussion that those ideas are now deemed to be “right wing”.
Totalitarian regimes, whether they’re based on leftist or far-right ideology are fundamentally illiberal, as are believers of any stripe who would prefer to exist in a world where ideas other than their own can be openly suppressed, marginalized, or even criminalized.
turd, the ass-clown of the commentariat, lies; it’s all he ever does. turd is a kiddie diddler, and a pathological liar, entirely too stupid to remember which lies he posted even minutes ago, and also too stupid to understand we all know he’s a liar.
If anything he posts isn’t a lie, it’s totally accidental.
turd lies; it’s what he does. turd is a lying pile of lefty shit.
Seven of the ten countries are controlled by Islamic fundamentalists and theocrats, while the three other countries are controlled by left wing communists.
Muslims and Marxists……..
Sounds like monsters you fight in a role playing game.
Venezuela, Communist country that is has been for a while now, is one of the more conservative countries in the world, per that site. Makes total sense.

But you don’t criticize black conservatives policies, you target them for their race, talk about their race and “imitate” them in Minstrel. As demonstrated in the examples I’ve shown.
You’re the DNC’s self-appointed n*gger catcher. Attacking any who escape the vote plantation.

No wonder you’re all in for the democrats. They love racism.
No. You’re just upset everyone points out your good ol’ Southern white boy resentment of racial minorities who disobey your commands.
How DARE T. Scott (H. Walker, C. Thomas, etc.) not vote the way I told him to! Damn ingrates! My party does so much for THOSE PEOPLE!
You gave away the game by obsessing about Walker for months after he lost, while admitting you have no problem with Senator Hoodie McStrokebrain.
Sandy, I had a genuine fear that a Senator Walker would be shucking and jiving us good liberty-loving Georgians every day.
And more racism.

Maybe Trudeau would take them into Canada? If they’ll harbor a Waffen SS officer for 80 years then celebrate him as some kind of national hero, why not take in a couple million actual refugees?
Personally, I’d like to see Biden lean on one or more of the other Arab nations to take in at least the ones who would leave during a humanitarian cease-fire. MBS has to owe us one at least if we could call in that chit.
After the civvie population (and anyone else who would leave and can’t be provably tied to Hamas) is out of there, flatten the whole area is step 2. Step 3 is to relocate all jewish selttlements out of the West Bank, and set them up in Gaza, then pull back the IDF to the border and offer official recognition to the PA/Fatah government in the West Bank as the “Nation of Palestine” with the understanding that as a sovereign nation, any future attacks on Israel originating from that territory will be treated as an act of war by that Nation.
See if they’re stubborn enough to refuse a formalized two-state condition over a non-contiguous scrap of land that they could never have effectively defended or meaningfully governed anyway.
“Under no circumstances do you have to hand it to Hamas: Many American leftists, from Harvard student groups to members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), seem to be gravitating toward disturbingly simplistic narratives that minimize the atrocities—massacres, rapes, and kidnappings, with many deaths livestreamed to Facebook pages and uploaded to TikTok—committed by Hamas.”
Liz Wolf is so refreshing after years of ENB and the regular Reasonistas.
They handwaved the massacre of a music festival as a “bunch of Hipsters” too. Since it’s Hipster types who fawn over Socialism, this means these fuckers are eating their own! That alone makes the DSA types beneath contempt!
If they weren’t so stupid they wouldn’t be socialists.
If they weren’t so stupid, and lazy, and could support themselves financially and emotionally, they wouldn’t need to be socialists.
Racist.
How is critiquing socialists racist, Pluggo?
He has truly given up all pretense, and probably lost all sanity.
I wonder if maybe DSA types are botherd by Kibbutzers since people who choose to live in a Kibbutz are the kind of socialists who sacrifice for the group, while most DSA loyalists see it as the job of “the 1%” to do all the sacrificing so they themselves can be handed everything for free.
Most of the pro-Hamas spergasms from the DSA and campus commies are due to decades of anti-colonial and anti-natalist doctrines being preached in academia. It’s really nothing more than knee-jerk indoctrination at work, although it should be noted that Hamas is a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated group, and the MB itself is marxist is character and philosophical framework.
Another thing to note about Palestinians is that they are generally considered to be the ghetto hood rats of the Arab world. For all the lip service the Arab nations give to supporting them (and it should be said that Iranians are NOT Arabs, they’re Persians), literally no one wants them actually settling in their country because they’re such a subversive, disruptive people. The one country that did welcome them with open arms during the 1948 war, Jordan, was rewarded with the assassination of Abdullah I in 1951 and the Black September coup attempt in 1970-71, and they also made Lebanon a battleground with their monkeyshines.
Also, this narrative that’s emerged as being “Muslims vs. Jews” isn’t really accurate. There’s a significant percentage of Palestinians, especially in Gaza, that are Orthodox Christian, but ultimately, metaphysical religion is NOT what’s important to Palestinians. Their real religion is politics and Palestinian ethno-nationalism, and to a certain extent the Third World, anti-western pan-Arabism that was promoted by Nasser in the wake of the Bandung conference of 1955. That’s why so many Palestinians that migrate to America quickly become radical left-wingers that support the Rainbow Mafia and pretty much any neo-Marxist left-wing movement that seeks to tear down and take over the US.
Any white Anglo-heritage fans of anti-colonialism should just kill themselves.
My favorites are the “anti-colonials” who embrace soccer on the basis that it’s “the most popular sport in the world” and can ignore the fact that the global popularity of the game is possibly the single biggest success of European Colonialism.
Do they think that all of humanity across multiple continents and cultures all spontaneously developed a sport which is completely uninteresting to watch and in which it’s not uncommon for matches to end in a scoreless tie?
Almost as good in California are the people who think that expecting immigrants from central/south America to learn English is “colonialist” but that allowing them to operate permanently in their “native” Spanish is “anti-colonial” (as if Spanish was the indigenous language of the places they’ve come from).
“Also, this narrative that’s emerged as being “Muslims vs. Jews” isn’t really accurate”
A week ago people might have believed that. But let us look at what actually happened.
Hamas truly caught Israel by surprise. And had they stuck to attacking real military and security targets things might be quite different right now. Plenty more of the usual suspects would be calling for a ceasefire and Israeli restraint.
This would be seen less as atrocity and more as a military/security black eye. Probably enough that is could have brought down the Netanyahu government in favor of one less hardline.
But they just could not help themselves. Given the opportunity to rape and slaughter helpless Jews that is exactly what they chose to do.
Sure, but that doesn’t invalidate my statement that this really isn’t a religious war, but is rather an ethno-nationalist one.
But that is almost always true, and has been for millennia.
Of course. My point is that people who think this is simply a “Jews vs. Muslims” thing are taking a very blinkered view of the conflict.
Agreed.
So you argument is that it is only some Muslims that want to kill the Jews?
It is a joke to think that you or any other outsider can declare there is a difference between the religion of Islam and the politics of Islam.
You are striving to rationalize blatantly and self defeatingly irrational bloidthirst.
Rhetorical djinn dancing on the heads of pins can never outweigh the reality on the ground.
Again, they had the chance to live up to your assertions, but events proved otherwise.
You’re missing his point entirely. It’s “Palestinians against Israelis” or possibly “Barbarians against Civilization”, more than “Muslims against Jews”. Because it’s not just Muslim Palestinians, it’s all Palestinians, and they hate all the Israelis — even the ones that are Arab and Muslim, for not joining in their barbarism — not just the Jewish Israelis.
Your position is less dismissive of the Palestinians than his, because yours presumes it’s only the Muslim portion there that wants to murder Israelis, and that they only want to murder the Jewish ones.
TL;DR — He’s not defending the barbarians.
Read what I actually wrote and try again. If you’re going to continue putting words in my mouth, you ought have been around here long enough to understand that I have no problem telling you to shove your assertions up your ass.
Here, since it takes you an hour and half to watch 60 Minutes, I’ll paste this from my OP to help you out:
“There’s a significant percentage of Palestinians, especially in Gaza, that are Orthodox Christian, but ultimately, metaphysical religion is NOT what’s important to Palestinians. Their real religion is politics and Palestinian ethno-nationalism, and to a certain extent the Third World, anti-western pan-Arabism that was promoted by Nasser in the wake of the Bandung conference of 1955.”
The bulk of the Arab/Muslim world who use the Palestinian cause as a smokescreen for their hatred of Jews is much more about the “Arab” part of it and less about Muslim solidarity. When the giant Tsunami caused so much destruction in the islands of the South Pacific and some of the coastal areas of Southeast Asia, the Saudi Kingdom sent a pittance (single digit $Millions) to help the world’s most populous Muslim nation (Indonesia) recover and rebuild; the people in that country might follow Islam, but since they’d failed to be ethnic Arabs, the House of Saud couldn’t be bothered to help out with more than the amount of “walking around money” carried by their poorest cousin.
The Arabs don’t do much to help other Arabs out, either – otherwise, the refugee camps would have been closed in a few years, when the Arab nations found places for the refugees. Instead, they’ve been left to rot in those camps. Children born in them are now grandparents – and still there.
So it’s Muslim Palestinians and Orthodox Christian Palestinians vs. Practicing and Secular Jewish Israelis. Big whoop. Makes no difference to the victims, which ultimately will extend to the rest of us.
And ackshuyally, the Palestinian Authority enforces Islamic Sha’ria prohibitions against LGBTQ+, so where do you get this stuff about Palestinians and the so-called Rainbow Mafia?
Read what I wrote and try again, you simple simon dumbfuck.
I read it and I still stand by what I said.
Hamas and Hezbollah, being supported by Shia Iran, would not hesitate to practice Taqiya–the doctrine that it is permissible to lie to the Kuffir (Unbeliever), to ones spouse, and even to other Muslims in the course of Jihad.
(Really, Sunnis Muslims practice it too, simply because a murderer will lie in pursuit of murder, but Shia Islam makes it official doctrine.)
They will not hesitate to lie to Orthodox Christian Palestinians and Marxists or even pose as Orthodox Christians and Marxists if necessary to get sympathy and support for their cause.
The Shia practitioners of Taqiya are the real runners of the show in Gaza and In Shia-controlled spots of Lebanon. Hence, it really is Islam vs. Jews and everybody else, and any common cause on the part of Muslims with either Marxists or the so-called “Rainbow Mafia” is a sham.
They sure fooled you, Dummy!
I’d kinda like to show up at one of those rallies with a sign along the lines of “RAPE AND MURDER ARE ACCEPTABLE WHEN THEY HAPPEN TO MY ENEMIES” and see if they actually object.
Wait, is that not ok?
…see if they actually object.
Fewer than you’d hope. Most of them just wouldn’t get it, the ones that do would agree with it.
I mean, my hope would be that any of them would object, at this point. I’m not sure if I have even that much hope for them, though.
Probably not worth the effort or the damage to my self-control budget. I’d have to expend a lot of it to avoid giving them the atrocity they’re begging for.
So Biden moves a couple of ships and then takes a nap.

The attack by Hamas, the savagery of their actions, and the deliberate targeting of civilians make clear that the Oslo process (two states for two peoples) is dead, and disengagement (just put a big wall between us) is dead. Managing the conflict by ‘mowing the lawn’ is dead. All are complete and utter policy failures. Hamas’ charter specifically cites the destruction of Jews as a part of a covenant to which they swear.
There is no path to peaceful co-existence. None whatsoever. That is now clear.
It is time for Israel and Hamas to fight it out, once and for all. Anything less than the physical obliteration of Hamas in Gaza is an unacceptable outcome.
One other thing: Americans were murdered, and Americans have been taken hostage. How any American can support Hamas is beyond me; they are fucked up, morally.
“Hamas’ charter specifically cites the destruction of Jews as a part of a covenant to which they swear.”
^ this.
There is no workable solution. They tried it, and Hamas has landed on doing everything to attack, invade, and has called for eradication of all Jews. Sorry, game over. Dont mow the lawn, get out the flamethrower this time
It’s pretty clear that Hamas was expecting this attack to galvanize support in the Middle East and kick off a regional war against Israel by showing how vulnerable they were. Hamas, even with Iranian support and arms purchases from God knows where, are simply not kitted out for a protracted fight beyond a couple of days, and it was inevitable that Israel was going to go full bore once they’d gotten over the shock of the attack and re-organized their defenses. If you start a war of annihilation, you better know for damn sure that every other Arab nation has got your back–and the problem for the Palestinians is that the leaders of these nations simply don’t give a shit.
Erdogan is Muslim Brotherhood, but he’s got enough problems in his own backyard and isn’t going to devote anything other lip service support. Saudi Arabia sees Israel’s existence as a business decision now, since they are a counter to Iran. Qatar is hosting the leader of Hamas, but the Emir is still caught between keeping things calm between him and Iran due to the Gulf gas fields, and the rest of the GCC nations who actively despise him for hosting more extremist Arab leaders. The UAE doesn’t give a squirt of piss for the Palestinians, the Egypt does not want a Muslim Brotherhood revival in the country, Syria’s still trying to secure its own territory, and any involvement by Hezbollah from Lebanon gives Iran’s involvement away.
With that said, this kind of attack shows that Mossad got extremely complacent relying far too much on technology such as cell network capture and defense sensors, and their HUMINT ops have degraded significantly.
On top of that, Abbas hates Hamas and has absolutely no incentive to support them from the West Bank, even if the inhabitants there decide to chimp out on their own.
Let’s also remember Muslims in China being sent to CONCENTRATION CAMPS had no impact on the ME states. I do not see why “Palestinians” would generate more empathy.
It is just social signaling with some collective hysteria added in. There is no moral compass being followed.
Mossad is probably all still “working” from home trying to avoid “covid”.
Hamas, even with Iranian support and arms purchases from God knows where…
Ukraine says hi.
Let’s not forget about the discount pricing on modern US weapons systems available in Afghanistan after the sloppiest pullout ever.

Yeah, I’m sure there’s no shortage of American made weaponry floating around the black market at this point.

Agreed.
Without involving US troops we must fully support Israel and Ukraine against their murderous aggressors.
If America can retrieve their hostages, we involve ourselves and rescue our people. Other than that, let Israel take care of business and stay out of their way.

That sounds fine and well until the rest of the towel-head countries, Russia, China, the EU, and of course our stupid asses in the US get involved.
It is time for Israel and Hamas to fight it out, once and for all. Anything less than the physical obliteration of Hamas in Gaza is an unacceptable outcome.
Those are nice words and I agree with them as words but no one has ‘Hamas’ tattooed on their forehead to identify their corpses as such. There’s no effing way Israel is going to head in to a city of 2 million for block-by-block street fighting. This is going to be the sort of war we Americans tend to believe in now (but that NEVER works) – aerial destruction using American planes and American armaments.
The sort of war that we can ignore since publicly it only costs money for us. But every one of those deaths of a kid (half the population) or a woman (presumably half the rest – assuming they’re not suicide bombers which is of course possible), will create an entire tribe (not at all the same as ‘Palestinian’ in the Arab world) of permanent enemies OF THE US. They know who supplies the weapons even if we ourselves ignore that. And that resentment is what will create blowback in the years and decades going forward. They won’t/can’t attack a modern Air Force because they can’t. They will attack civilians instead.
Further, you’re not even stating a military objective which is what the Israelis actually need to achieve. You are ranting emotionally. Which is exactly what is required for public support of a war but is irrelevant to – and mostly undermines – a war’s real mission. Substitute emotion for a real mission and all that happens is that the public will support the war until we orgasm at the death toll and then go off to the next warboner wanking.
“And that resentment is what will create blowback”
The blowback theory has always been bullshit, and it is long past time that we recognize it as such. Belief in that theory is the reason Israel has never gone all the way to defeating Hamas or Hezbollah or their other enemies. It is the reason the US never even tried to defeat the taliban or the iraqi insurgents – instead engaging in worthless “win hearts and minds” nonsense.
Where was the blowback in Japan or Germany when we obliterated their cities? Did I miss the history chapters on those insurgencies?
Ya, we definitely need to be worried about blowback. They might even get really angry and go through civilian towns raping, beheading, and murdering women and children, while recording it on camera bragging about it…
The blowback theory has always been bullshit
It wasn’t bullshit on 9-11-01.
Hamas isn’t the world’s most powerful entity like the US.
It’s a shitty little extension of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that’s hated by the Arabs even more than they hate Israel.
I was commenting more on the blowback theory in general than in this specific situation.
I’mnot sure I got your point. Are you suggesting that Israel or the US could go to war with Hamas without blowback? Wouldn’t that require an impossible precision to avoid innocent casualties?
Blowback occurs when those who react against the attack react against those who didn’t ever even realize that they were involved in an attack. re the US, it occurs with video game warfare (bombardment from on high), proxy wars, or clandestine stuff done by the CIA/etc.
JFree….I laid out a very clear military objective: The physical obliteration of Hamas in Gaza. Yes, I mean hunt them down and kill them. There is nothing unclear about it. I will not mourn their violent deaths.
Two states as a policy is dead.
Disengagement as a policy is dead.
Mowing the lawn as a policy is dead.
Policy alternatives have been tried, and failed. It is time for war. The sides are Israel, or Hamas. Easy to choose sides here….I choose Israel. Surprise!
Israel has explicitly warned Gaza civilians to leave immediately for the last three days. Rafah was open (not anymore). Gaza civilians who remain in Gaza should get as physically far away from Hamas members as possible. If they do not, they will die. Those deaths, I will mourn.
The physical obliteration of Hamas in Gaza. Yes, I mean hunt them down and kill them. There is nothing unclear about it. I will not mourn their violent deaths.
This is not about lack of clarity or lack of forthrightness. Certainly you can pile up corpses and count them but how the fuck are you gonna know who is Hamas? Answer? You can’t know. This is entirely about a magical death toll that creates an emotional release. You’ll know it’s enough when you see it right?
Policy alternatives have been tried, and failed…Israel has explicitly warned Gaza civilians to leave immediately for the last three days.
Leave for WHERE? Israel has blockaded Gaza for a couple decades now. They can only move from one neighborhood to another and then they will be forced to move back into rubble so the rest of it can be turned into rubble.
You tell me what do you think the end game is here? I can speculate on it but it is merely speculation.

You can’t have “blowback” if there’s no one to “blowback.”
And a “war’s real mission” for peace-loving and freedom-loving people should be totally destroying an enemy’s capacity to initiate force against Life, Liberty, and Property.
The only exception to the NAP should be for those who violate the NAP. And prosecution of those should be severe.
The NAP is a principle of civil society. Those who reject it are not protected by it.
Human animals who ride in, kill indiscriminantly, then steal the women and children, have clearly rejected any notion of civil society.
No…NAP stands for “Non Aggression Principle.” It’s not pacifism, it’s the “Don’t start shit,” mentality. Once someone has taken an aggressive act, defend yourself thoroughly, and don’t stop until the aggressor is no longer a threat.
Yep. NAP until the other party decides to “fuck around”. Then, it’s their turn to “find out”.

The CBC is the Canadian equivalent of the BBC. NPR is more divorced from the government than they are.
I like how Elon pissed them off by referring to CBC as “state owned media” and when Trudeau et al bitched, changed it to “69% state owned media”
Yeah, that was a beauty, eh, watching Elon tell that hoser Trudeau to take off.
I just looked it up, to see context.
Ars Technica was the first hit other than Snopes, the article actually said that it wasn’t true because it was “closer to 66%” — the fuck? It was about a paragraph of actual information on what happened and ten paragraphs bitching about Musk ruining twitter.
I don’t consume much media. Reason I just look at for laughs, and because I don’t get censored for saying anything I want in the comments section, but whenever I do venture out it seems like literally everyone has a bone to pick, nobody just writes news.
Oh well. At least here nobody’s saying “Dude you can’t say pigfucker in front of Jesus.”
This is like Reuters refusing to use the word “terrorist” after 9/11. Fucking disgusting what counts as news media nowadays.

It takes some balls for the Palestinians to gun down people at a music festival, go house to house kidnapping and murdering people in their homes, gang raping women and desecrating the bodies, and then bitch that their civilians being killed in the retaliation is “collective punishment” and therefore out of bounds.
They don’t need balls, just a fair helping of cognitive dissonance crossed with double standards.
All part of the standard revolutionary-nihilist mental package.

Why should government help out a party convention, Governor Commodius Maximus? If the DNC can’t afford it, then the DNC should go bankrupt or not hold it.
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_8994f676-66f0-11ee-a826-5fa5a0c63694.html
Chicago will host the 2024 DNC at the United Center from Aug. 19 to 22. The convention will likely take place in the middle of a continued influx of migrants being transported to Chicago after crossing the southern U.S. border. About 15,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago over the past 13 months. Many have been left without adequate resources and the city is facing a lack of funding to properly care for the arrivals.
On CBS’s Face The Nation Sunday, Pritzker was asked if he thinks the city will be able to handle the convention in the middle of a migrant influx.
“I am confident that we can handle it. But again, it will require help from the federal government, and someone needs to work in Texas with these border politicians to have them stop sending people only to blue cities and blue states,” Pritzker said.
State Rep. Kevin Schmidt, R-Millstadt, told The Center Square that any issues that may come up around the DNC will be a direct result of Pritzker’s handling of the situation.
“The Democrats in Illinois have kind of made this problem on their own by making Illinois a sanctuary state,” Schmidt said. “You have got a lot of liberal elites that are in favor of certain ideologies and policies, but whenever it hits home, and they see it in person, it’s a little different world then. They don’t want that in their backyard. They want it in someone else’s, which is pretty typical for a liberal elitist.”
and someone needs to work in Texas with these border politicians to have them stop sending people only to blue cities and blue states
I don’t get it. Maybe because I’m not in the right bubble or echo chamber(s), but even among relatively pro-immigrant leftists, this seems to be landing about as well as him literally and effectively saying “The buck stops somewhere else.”
All the people, like Fiona, who were and are 10,000% on board with the “Sanctuary State” ideology are getting sold out and to pretty much everyone else, it’s a rather transparent “I support immigration when it’s politically convenient.”
Even the reporter simply asking the question about the convention in the immigration flux even tacitly asserts the notion.
And 15k of the horde is nothing, as a percentage. They’re not even close to population parity. They can comment when they’ve taken in another 180k of the darlings into their sanctuary city.
Right up Misek’s asshole alley regarding the Nazis and Hamas. He’d be right at home with them.
https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/10/09/how-the-nazis-helped-to-inspire-hamas/
Hamas’s terror attacks on Israel are part of its standard strategy, albeit on a far larger scale than ever before. By murdering and maiming as many Israeli civilians as possible, Hamas aims to draw Israeli retaliation and then rely on international politicians, NGOs and the commentariat to condemn the Israeli response.
Indeed, the Western media are already peddling one of Hamas’s standard lines – namely, that its actions are born out of desperation. But that is misleading. Hamas’s total rejection of Israel’s existence is not a recent stance adopted in the face of Israel’s brutal treatment of Gaza. On the contrary, Islamist hostility towards Jews in the Middle East predates the founding of the Jewish state in 1948, let alone the occupation of Gaza in 1967.
Some Arab leaders in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were willing to compromise and work with the early Zionist movement. But some of the founders of the modern Palestinian-nationalist movement were different. Inspired by virulent anti-Semitism, they were intent on preventing and reversing all Jewish migration to the region.
Take Amin al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem during the 1920s and 1930s. With the rise of Nazi Germany, al-Husseini became a devoted supporter and ally of Adolf Hitler. His aim was not simply to send Jews back to Europe, but to bring the Nazi Holocaust to the Middle East.
Al-Husseini certainly did not inspire the Holocaust. But he was an enthusiastic supporter of it. Anecdotal reports of al-Husseini’s visit to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in the summer of 1943, as part of an Arab delegation, was later confirmed by photographic evidence.
Then there were al-Husseini’s meetings with Hitler, his intervention to prevent the transfer of Jewish children to Switzerland, thereby condemning them to Auschwitz, and his role in recruiting Bosnian Muslims to serve in the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS.
While al-Husseini is only a marginal figure in the history of the Nazi Holocaust, he was among the most important Nazi propagandists in the Arab world. During the 1930s and 1940s, he played a major role in developing the modern Islamist movement, and in embedding anti-Semitism as a cornerstone of postcolonial Arab identity.
Hamas plays on the Western media’s obsession with Israel. It instigated its latest attacks in the knowledge that the resulting narrative war would be fought by others on its behalf. It is well past time that the true nature of Hamas’s ideology was properly understood and rejected in the West and the Arab world alike. Not only for the sake of Israeli civilians, but also for the sake of the Palestinians, who continue to be sacrificed to Hamas’s brutal and barbarous aims.
something something g*d told them it’s okay to lie something something they should be illegal. how was that?
They have identical rhetoric to Hitler and the Nazi’s, as well as goals.

On a serious note, that story says what I have long said about Haj Amin Al-Husseini and about Islamofascism. The term Islamofascism is not hackneyed, but has basis in historical fact.
What is that about great moments in unintended consequences?
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/chicago-eliminates-subminimum-wage-for-tipped-workers/
Chicago is phasing out the subminimum wage after a 36-10 vote by the City Council Oct 6. Tipped workers by 2028 will make the full Chicago minimum wage.
But one study found the policy will reduce tipped employment in restaurants. Those who keep their jobs will not earn enough to offset the lost wages of those who are either laid off or never hired to begin with. Raising tipped minimum wages was not effective in reducing low incomes, either, researchers found.
Some tipped workers are worried about exactly that as customers start tipping less and the waitstaff loses out.
Tipped workers had been making at least $9.48 an hour, 60% less than the $15.80 Chicago minimum wage, with tips making up the difference. When they don’t make up the difference, employers had to cover the gap.
The Illinois Restaurant Association said the new ordinance will hurt the city’s 7,000 restaurants, employees and customers because of higher costs. Association President Sam Toia said even with the compromise of the five-year ramp, they “wholeheartedly disagree” with the ordinance that they believe will shutter some establishments. They argue the Illinois median for waitstaff at full-service restaurants is $28.48 per hour, thanks to tips.
Most American Jews who are pro- Israel vote Republican. When I was in college 30 years ago, the pro-Palestinian students were the pot smoking trust fund kids of hippie Jews. Nothing has really changed and there’s no political advantage for Sleepy Joe to do anything here, unless gas prices go way up again.
Most American Jews who are pro- Israel vote Republican.
Ridiculous.
There are 35 Jewish Democrats in Congress that are all pro-Israel.
Really? Every Jewish person I’ve met was a raging liberal Democrat.
“Pro-Israel” to a Fundie-Nut means something completely different.
Oh, you mean bringing about the Rapture and all that?
Fundie-Nut? wtf is that?
Anyone to the right of Pluggo.
“Pro-Israel” to an Evangelical means to preserve Israel as a landing-spot for when Jesus returns on Judgement Day to pull out the guts of all the Jews/non-Christians.
Yeah, I know a few of those. They get all excited when there’s conflict in the Middle East, hoping they’ll be taken away.
You should know better than to believe Buttplug by now. No Evangelical denomination believes that Jesus will kill the Jews when he returns. Not a single one.
In fact, the opposite. They believe that what they call the “Time of the Gentiles” will be over, and that the Jews will again become the heirs of Gods promise, and that the one trying to kill the Jews and wipe out Israel will be the Antichrist. They believe that those who bless Israel will be blessed by God.
Maybe it’s nutty, whatever, but it’s the exact opposite of what Buttplug claimed.
Sarc remains ignorant in everything g he knows. Like how he knew the order of books in the Bible mattered. He should repeat this mantra daily…

Well hell. I was wrong
It would save so much time.
Interesting how you ignore the first part of his sentence because it’s fairly accurate, while I ignored the last part because it looked like word salad.
Fact is there is a significant number of people who secretly smile at news like this because they’re hoping it’s The End, and most of them are Republicans.
Nobody anywhere disagrees with the first part so that’s moot. It was his last part that you needed to pay attention to.
I know you’re looking for allies in your war on us, but for fuck’s sake, Misek and Buttplug aren’t them.
You might want to ask Saint Pete to check the guest list a.k.a. The Book Of Life before you say that.
🙂
😉
As for this Atheist Gentile, I support Israel because it’s already Hell-On-Earth. Supporting a nation that is closer to Secularism and Political, Social, and Economic Freedom than its neighbors is one way to make the Earth a less Hellish place.
And the Palestinians, Arabs, and Persians can help make the Earth less Hellish by doing what Israel, the U.S., and Western Civilization has done to get the nice things they’ve got.

Yeah, that’s not any denomination’s doctrine either but originates in 19th and early 20th century cartoons.

The amount of online child sexual abuse has skyrocketed in the past few years, according to the latest annual report of the UK-based NGO and watchdog, the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF). As many as 255,588 URLs were confirmed to contain images or videos of the abuse last year, up from 132,676 URLs in 2019.
According to the report, “self-generated” content has become particularly prevalent in this time, with the number of confirmed URLs containing images or videos of “self-generated” material rising from 38,424 confirmed cases in 2019 to 199,363 in 2022.
This is where children have been groomed and coerced into taking the images without the abuser present in the room, which have then been put online.
This is a six percentage point increase on 2021 when 72 percent of actioned reports (or 182,281) were captured in this way. Girls aged 11-13 were the group that appeared most frequently in this content.
Oh come on now! These kids are just expressing their sexuality and/or chosen gender identity, what’s wrong with that?
And trying to get an A+ on their school assignments.
“with the number of confirmed URLs containing images or videos of “self-generated” material rising from 38,424 confirmed cases in 2019 to 199,363 in 2022.”
As gross as it is, self-generated drawings and AI stuff is in no way similar to real photos of rape and abuse. Pixels are not actually victims.
That said, I think the fake stuff encourages a taste for the real.
Now if by self-generated they mean pedos tricking kids into taking selfies, then that’s a different story.

The brutality of the attack put the anti-israel folks on the back foot, but this movement has been going for decades. They’ve got a lot of experience glossing over atrocities. Hopefully though, this is big enough that people will remember it happened long enough for Israel to do something to cut off future attacks.
I have to give Liz Wolfe credit: describing RFK Jr. and the Libertarian Party as “the worst people you know” is one of the best summaries of what Reason has turned into that I’ve ever seen. It’s almost as good as “CNN for libertarians.”
how is RFK one of the worse people we know. wtf did he ever do except talk shit about pfizer?
Piss off the sponsors *cough* Pfizer *cough*?
what more is there than talking shit about pfizer?
Koch probably has stock in Pfizer.

And while sex trafficking of women and girls has received considerable attention, human trafficking of boys is growing significantly. It’s now almost identical to the percentage of girls trafficked—girls account for 18 percent of trafficking victims. Boys now account for 17 percent, the DOD’s 2023 Trafficking in Person’s (TIP) report found.
In its latest report, the ILO estimated that 49.6 million people are being trafficked globally—with 27.6 million in forced labor and 22 million in forced marriages. Women and girls make up a majority of those in forced marriages.
Within the forced labor category, the ILO reported 17.3 million victims in the private sector, while 6.4 million are being exploited for commercial sex, and 3.9 million are in forced labor imposed by the state.
Of the forced labor victims in the private sector, 11.3 million are men and boys and 6 million are women and girls. In the sexual exploitation industry, 4.9 million victims are women and girls and 1.5 million are men and boys. More than 3.3 million victims of forced labor are children.

Of 17 socialist pols The Post called for reaction to the Democratic Socialists’ celebration Sunday of Hamas’ massacre of Israelis, not one offered a simple, unequivocal condemnation.
After Hamas terrorists savagely slaughtered more than 900 Israelis and kidnapped 150 others (grandmothers, babies, young kids), when Israel’s supporters and those who’ve lost loved ones are still grieving, pro-massacre protesters at the DSA rally came out to rub salt in the wound.
AOC didn’t respond or comment on the rally but blasted Hamas’ attack Saturday, while also railing about (Israel’s) “oppression and occupation” — and seeking a ceasefire that would let terrorists suffer no consequences and keep the hostages they took.
Few tests can reveal a politician’s humanity — or lack of it — like their position on the DSA rally and Hamas’ bloodthirsty attack.
I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Gaza should be a smoking crater ready to be filled with the waters of the Mediterranean Sea after this.
hey look everyone, new beachfront!
“…Many American leftists, from Harvard student groups to members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), seem to be gravitating toward disturbingly simplistic narratives that minimize the atrocities…”
What do you expect of lefty shits?
‘In Gaza, roughly 2 million people—so the entire population—live in squalor. Half of adult Gazans are unemployed. The median age there is 18, compared to 28 worldwide (the Gazan fertility rate is extremely high; Hamas pressures women to have lots of children allegedly so they can have a larger army). Up until now, Israel had offered work permits, allowing many Gazans to flow across the border in search of jobs in agriculture, construction, and auto repair. Now, that lifeline is gone, and conditions have gotten a lot worse for inhabitants of the Strip, which includes almost a million children (or about half the population).’
Where is Fiona to tell us how we need to welcome all the people from Gaza into the US?
She’ll probably have an article up later today. 😛
Wait, we should be fair. Let me tell you the ways Gazans can help America.
The palestinians are very industrious. I mean, they set the standard at building terror tunnels, and generally doing more with less. They are quite adept at concrete-work, as the terror tunnels are lined with thin slabs of concrete. Their homebrew missile production is truly the envy of the world.
The palestinian life insurance industry is sadly bankrupt. You see, those industrious palestinians seem to have workplace accidents that blow their industrious asses up. They’re flat busted. So that is a downer.
However, the palestinians do have a capitalist core. I mean, they are world class when it comes to gun smuggling and drug smuggling. They truly are world beaters there.
With so much to offer a sponsor country, who would want to reject them? 🙂
“I mean, they are world class when it comes to gun smuggling and drug smuggling. They truly are world beaters there.”
The Taliban achieved better results. But they had American help with their drug and gun activities. The Palestinians deserve credit for the efforts under much more difficult circumstances.
Unlike South Americans, who might rape her, Palestinians definitely will.
What America really needs is a million more inbred 65 IQ military age males steeped in marxist resentment

Ann Coulter Blames Donald Trump for US ‘Crime Wave’
Conservative pundit Ann Coulter on Saturday mocked former President Donald Trump, saying a “crime wave” began during his presidency as he “sat around tweeting.”
.
Coulter was once among Trump’s most avid supporters, even penning the book In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome! in 2016. However, the right-wing commentator has since had a falling out with the former president, becoming one of his most vocal GOP critics.
.
“The US crime wave began under Trump — as he sat around tweeting ‘LAW & ORDER,'” Coulter posted on X. ” He pushed through the pro criminal 1st step act. He bragged about releasing criminals in his first debate with Biden.”
https://www.newsweek.com/ann-coulter-blames-donald-trump-us-crime-wave-1832904
Yes, Ann. The looting and the pillaging are all part of MAGA. Shame on you for ever supporting that criminal.

I’ve been wondering the same thing.
Is Jeffy gone too?
“jeff” has been gone for at least a month. foo_od I think is jeff or something
Jeff ran away after the great unsocking. Like he did when cytotoxic was discovered as a sock for him.

Whats stopping hamas from just issuing work permits to make jobs magically appear?
No idea. Don’t they have a WPA of their own, building tunnels and missiles?
Can we trade 1 American AWFL or DSA palestine advocate, for every 1 jewish prisoner? Would be a win win all around, and the American lefties could go and help out the people they care about most
Let’s offer a 10-for-1 deal.
Don’t low-ball the offer. Go for a 20-for-1 deal.
Count the number we have, divide by the number of hostages; there’s the offer.
500-to-one? Fine by me.
Wrong. So wrong, what a chump! Count the number we have, divide by the number of hostages, then divide by two. When they counter, increase the number 10%. When the deal is done, throw in the remaining % because you’re so humble but lavishly wealthy that you get up every morning and hammer out hostage deals while sitting on a gold toilet.
Have you learned nothing?
I approve of this plan.
And do the same for every fan of Ukraine, Venezuela, Russia, Nicaragua, etc.
Under no circumstances do you have to hand it to Hamas: Many American leftists, from Harvard student groups to members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), seem to be gravitating toward disturbingly simplistic narratives that minimize the atrocities—massacres, rapes, and kidnappings, with many deaths livestreamed to Facebook pages and uploaded to TikTok—committed by Hamas.
If by minimize, you mean “cheer them on” then we’re in complete agreement.
But… well-meaningly cheering them on…
Contrast that with how they feel about the Capitol riot.
Are we experiencing a century of bad art? “To pay attention to culture in 2023 is to be belted into some glacially slow Ferris wheel, cycling through remakes and pastiches with nowhere to go but around.”
The “movie posters” alone for everything made after 2019 on Amazon just LOOK terrible, I can only imagine how terrible they actually are.
Art has been pretty terrible for more than a few decades now.
“glacially slow Ferris wheel, cycling through remakes and pastiches with nowhere to go but around” sounds like an accurate description of “Campbell’s Soup Cans”.
Maybe not “glacially slow” if you look through them quickly.
It makes one pine for a simple Bob Ross landscape.

“”If basic moral principles aren’t enough to sway groups like DSA toward decency, they should consider the impact their disgraceful performance will have on their ability to accomplish their own goals,”
Decency is not the goal. The goal is to end the occupation. And terror and the killing of civilians can be effective. After the bombing of the King David Hotel, the British finally left Palestine. After the seizing of the Achille Lauro, America and Israel finally decided to recognize the PLO and negotiate. Every conflict between Israel and her neighbors has involved the killing of civilians. It’s a given. And it will continue as long as the occupation continues.
Or until there is no one left alive to oppose the occupation.
There are only a finite number of people available to oppose the occupation, after all.
I, for the first time, have been living in fear of this comment section.

The population of Gaza is increasing, and is one of the most fecund places on the planet. According to wikipedia, fertility rate there is 4.2, about double that of the US. Of course it’s possible to exterminate the lot of them, but it’s every day becoming more difficult.

I dunno about squalor, I saw a video of a Palestinian woman complaining about airstrikes and her home was really really nice, a hell of a lot better than what I live in,
Obviously, she was not the norm, but squalor exists everywhere. We don’t see Americans from trailer parks cutting off the heads of babies in nicer parts of town
“her home was really really nice,”
‘Was’ is the operative word here.
“We don’t see Americans from trailer parks cutting off the heads of babies in nicer parts of town”
You mustn’t have seen any of those Marxist zombie movies so popular with the kids these days.

“We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” reads a recent statement issued by more than 50 Harvard student groups. “The apartheid regime is the only one to blame,” they say.
