  1. The IDF is not using excessive force. If anything, they have restrained their response too much, risking the lives of young soldiers, to save "civilians" who participated in the atrociteis.

  2. And he calls dead terrorists civilian.

  3.  @louisvf  There is something wrong with inventing bogus human rights violations, for one group, while ignoring the real violations of another. For example, all the idiots saying Israel is committing genocide, despite having the least collateral damage of any army, while ignoring the actual genocide going on in Nigeria and Darfur.

  4.  @atlehman69  No, that is an absolute lie. The civilian to combatant ratio of the US, in Mosul, was 9:1. The ratio in Aza is 1:1, the best of any army in the world.

  5.  @Resenbrink  They could condemn those who use human shields, rather than pretend it is the fault of those Hamas attacked.

  6. Is a rational fear, based upon an obvious danger, a phobia? Islam-awareness would be a better term.

  7. The Arab occupiers were killed by other Arab occupiers. Why do you blame the indigenous people for what they do to each other?

  8.  @NicholasMuscat-cl1qo  The only ethnic cleansing, is when the native people, the Jews, are removed from their land, as was done by the British during the mandate period, and by the Jordanian army in 1948. How do you think Judea and Samaria came to be occupied by foreign Arabs, rather than the Jews who had planted the fields?

  9.  @sandcastledx  It's not even a fact, but a falsehood. The US pressured Israel, to allow Qatar to fund Hamas, which is why that aid was allowed.

  10. But, Israel is not massacring civilians. That was Hamas. Who are directly responsible for all the civilian deaths, among Israelis and the Arab occupiers.

  11. They will what-about everything, and deny the video is accurate or true. Theirs is an emotional argument, they are believers in their cause, and facts will not shift their disgusting beliefs.

  12. Hamas came from Egypt. If any other nation had a hand in their founding, it was Iran or the USSR.

  13. I looked at the FBI crime stats, and came to the same conclusions. He stated that those stats, and the records maintained in the Washington Post were his sources, not the Nature article. Sorry if he burst your bubble. But the truth is preferable, to good people, than lies.

  14.  @BrianFinnegan-cn5mk  What do you base your statement upon? Are you aware that the majority of Iranians no longer are muslim? They are so angry with the oppression, of the theocrats, they refuse to practice islam.

  15. The Arabs didn't have to occupy any part of Israel. They didn't have to murder the indigenous people. They don't have to oppress their fellow Arab occupiers. All their problems are of their own making, and only a truly evil person sympathizes with these brutal colonizers, who have turned the entire Levant and northern Africa into a hellscape.

  16. Tactical experts say the same thing.

  17. No, it is not a credible claim, but pure victim blaming. There was genocide, committed only by the Arabs.

  18. And the oppressors, throughout the Levant and northern Africa, are the Arab colonizers.

  19. Do you know what song he was singing? It was the Hymn of the IDF. And his voice was surprisingly good. Would you make fun of a US president for singing the Marine Corp. Hymn too? I doubt it. Your racism is showing.

  20. One big difference, most human liars have a tell. Plus, AI doesn't exactly lie, it hallucinates, or confabulates in a very convincing fashion.

  21. The whole story about "settler violence" is just another blood libel, a vile and racist lie. Do you know what the UN considers Jewish violence? Just visiting Har Habayit (Temple Mount) within the hours Jordan allows. Defending yourself from murderous attack is also considered "settler violence". Stop two siding a one sided problem. All the violence comes from the Arab occupiers.

  22. Indeed. The US may have been the first truly democratic country, in modern times, but the ideas behind our democracy come from the ancients and British conservatives, like Locke.

  23.  @MoonBerryShrimp  Did the Allies give Germany food, water, and power? There never has been a war, where the victim of an unprovoked, atrocity filled attack was required to give supplies to the attacker.

  24.  @andrewm4767  No, it was one of many heinous pogroms, filled with atrocities, that the Arab colonizers have committed against the indigenous people, the Jews. They committed similar incidents in 1929, and 1880s, etc. etc.

  25.  @BrianFinnegan-cn5mk  The hijab rule is forced on non-muslim Iranians as well. And we all know what happens to those who refuse to wear the hijab, they are graped and murdered by the 'morality police.

  26. There are fewer idiots with guns in Norway, so perhaps the cops there are less jumpy. I've lived over 60 years, and have watched the police become more and more wary of the public, as the war on drugs upped the arms drug dealers carry. My first home in LA was in a gang area, but gang members were only armed with knives and chains then. Now, they have military style weapons.

  27. Of course all this is due to colonization. Arabs are native only to Arabia. Every country Arabs control in the Levant and northern Africa is land they colonized, by killing many of the indigenous people, enslaving and oppressing the surviving natives, and stealing their land. This includes Israel, where the indigenous people are the Jews. Incidentally, the Arab invaders and occupiers of Israel, called themselves Arabs prior to 1964, when the Egyptian Arafat told them by using this false name, they'd fool the ignorant into not realizing they are invaders. Gaza is historically Jewish land, and even after centuries of Arab colonization, Jews were still the majority until the British forcibly removed all Jews, in response to an Arab pogrom of the Jews, the war crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

  28. Anti-zionism is and always will be antisemitism, and the only people who argue otherwise are antisemites.

  29. Has Musk studied epidemiology, virology or immunology? Is he an expert any of those fields? If not, his opinion is worthless. As to Sweden, they are a precautionary tale of what not to do. And the nonsense about anyone with the virus is counted as a Covid death is just another urban legend. There are many, many deaths from Covid that are not counted, as the victim never could get a test. Only people who would not have died, if not for the virus, are counted as Covid deaths.

  30. OMG Trump isn't Hitler, he isn't even Berlusconi. If your measure of autocracy is kleptocracy, then both parties are guilty. Please don't pretend that the Bidens haven't enriched themselves through backroom deals and cutouts. Your aversion to anything populist is extremely elitist and anti-democratic. Unless you want to return to the way democracy was established here, where only those who were 1. male, 2. adult, 3. free, 4. propertied (and in many states, 5. christian) were allowed to vote, you're going to have to accept that democracy is populism, the rule of all the people, not just the elites. And, if your aversion to populism is that, in the past, it was often quite racist, you'll find that today the worst racists have degrees in the humanities, and the salt of the earth is less bigoted and more open minded.

  31. Sam beleives in science, and listens to experts. Trump hates experts, because they make him feel stupid, and prefers to listen to the voices in his head. It is not deranged to despise Trump's mismanagement of this pandemic. It is deranged to continue to support him.

  32. The only only ones suppressing the Arab colonizers, are other Arab colonizers.

  33. If you can't see all the war crimes are committed by the Arab invaders, you are willfully blind.

  34. She makes some good points, but has serious tunnel vision, which leads her to miss a lot of nuance.

  35.  @anovosedlik  Zoom stock has also shot up, so it isn't just Amazon that has benefited. I'm terribly sorry you and yours had to go through such sorrows. Frankly, I think that Michael's Mina's idea to have cheap, although less sensitive, tests is the way out of this pandemic. The fact that asymptomatic individuals are transmitting this virus is causing too many families to suffer as yours did.

  36. No, but like every human, he has his biases.

  37. I consider a president, that is trying to overthrow a recently democratically elected leader of an ally the real threat to democracy. Trump never tried that. Biden is trying to do that right now. For all of Trump's craziness, he is not as great a threat to democracy as Biden.

  38. Trump gives intellectuals a lot of reasons to distrust him. But, the US is in the unique position of having to choose between two reruns, neither of whom the majority of the country wants a repeat of. So, we could decide to vote based upon our economic well being under each man, in which case Trump would win. Or, we could vote based upon the men's foreign policies, and how peaceful the world was under each of them. As Biden has been appeasing the worst dictators, and harming our allies, this is also a win for Trump. Or we could look at which man is the greater threat to democracy. Both stole top secret papers. Trump didn't relinquish power with much alacrity when he lost. Not good. Biden has ignored the Constitution on numerous occasions, taking for himself power granted only to Congress. He has used the justice department to hamper his political foe. And Biden has used US tax dollars and the CIA, in an attempt to bring down the democratically elected leader of an ally. So, in the threat to democracy department, Biden is the greater threat. Will you accuse me of TDS because I strongly dislike the man, even though, being a rational being, I'm going to vote for him?

  39. The report you quote separate those who never show symptoms, asymptomatic, from those who have not yet developed symptoms, presymptomatic. It goes on to state most of the virus is spread by presymptomatic individuals. People are at their most infectious about four or five days before they ever show symptoms.

  42. Both China and Russia have well developed propaganda machineries, that they have employed to support Iran and its proxies. (ie. Tiktok) Also, for some weird reason the Marxists, who have capture US college humanities departments for over half a century, have made common cause with the Arab colonizers. What I don't understand is why all these students are ignoring the actual genocides occurring in Darfur and Nigeria. Could it be because the perpetrators are also the muslim Arab colonizers?

  43.  @b12deficient24  False.

  44. No, because fools think they are brown. If you look at the Arab occupiers, and the majority of Israelis, the Israelis are darker.

  45. You needn't look for other cases to see the double standard at work. There were three men, not just Penny, who restrained the lunatic threatening those riding the subway. But, as the other good Samaritans were black, they were not charged with any crime, only the white one was. That demonstrates bias.

  46. The very term 'islamophobia' is false, as fearing islam is rational. But, every argument against Jews is always based upon falsehoods.

  47.  @AaronPerles  So, like many powerful people, he was right on some things, and very wrong on others. Let's remember him for his good attributes, wanting to live in a colorblind society, and forgive his mistakes, like thinking socialism was anything but harmful to society.

  48. Zionism is intrinsic to Judaism. Nazism is not intrinsic to being German. Your argument is flawed, and only demonstrates you didn't listen, or were blinded by your own racism.
