The eagles had important bird things to do. They were too busy.

I’ve heard that as well about the bows.

Man if it’s made well and some people like it, that’s a mid.

A lot of the people that now sympathize with ISIS are people that the US and other Western countries propped up in various ways to help fight the Soviets.

The Houthis were friendly with the Soviets. The Soviets were friendly with the imamate.

This what? These people are religious fanatics so self absorbed in superstition and nonsense that they will literally blow themselves up and kill a bunch of people just out having breakfast because they don’t like the hours of operation one group sets for a pile of rocks some other group wants to visit on one day but not on another day. It is their utter lack of empathy and rationality that makes them evil pieces of shit. They aren’t fucking freedom fighters standing up for innocent people. They are morons who want religious control over their own people and every other person, absolute male domination of women in society, minority rule, and the ethnic cleansing of Jewish people from the middleeast.

With the support of useful idiots as you, of course.

I don’t even know where to begin with this idiocy.

They’ve apparently been gaining ground since the coup but I don’t think that’s the case as of the past couple of weeks. Either way anything they’ve won has been through violence and intimidation and not the consent of the people. The people voted and rejected Houthis bullshit twice, elections in which many Houthis refused to participate.

What a stupid and incorrect response.

I could be convinced. I’m just not. Not on any mission either. Though I do really want to understand more about the politics of it all.

Did you read the long post I wrote about what I would consider to be evidence of genocidal intent?

The facts to me show Israel is defending itself. I’ve criticized Israel plenty and believe some IDF soldiers have committed war crimes and should be prosecuted at the Hague.

No but I’m partially retired.

You know history did not begin on October 7th. The calculus certainly did change though.

I mean, reading the article, seems like the three people the UN charged with leading the investigation already have their minds made up. One of them said Israel should be kicked out of the UN. Obviously, Israel isn’t going to let that guy hang around.

Not sure how I feel about this story. Victims and people’s stories need to be put on the record as soon as possible. I’m not sure we will ever get to the truth of things, though. Israel is always going to say they were striking a tunnel or striking Hamas members. And Hamas and the Palestinian Authority is always going to say the victims were just civilians and that there were no tunnels in the area.

Hamas and the Palestinian strategy is one of human shields and martyrdom. If they ever admit that the deceased are members of Hamas, or that they really did build tunnels that open up into the basements of hospitals and elementary school, they lose that sympathy and credibility.

But those tunnels didn’t build themselves. The 3,000 Iranian-made rockets Hamas launched at Israel on October 7 didn’t carry themselves over the border from Egypt and into the tunnels.

Neither side is credible. I find Israel more credible though in light of some of these facts.

Can you understand Israel’s position without supporting it? I do.

Ha.

They did that in WW2 as well. I’ll find an article about them.

Skimmed a bit of the diary at the link: one part he’s talking about setting up the bakery in a factory, next paragraph he’s talking about how much he hates the Jerries (Germans) and nobody in his baking unit would take a prisoner, he’s itching to slit one of their throats. He calls the Jerries “he.”
