Israel under attack from Hamas

I watch MSM everyday and 3 years ago I saw blm shit on a daily basis, but in the past 2 years I barely see anything that blm has done. I mentioned their recent support for the terrorists and I think it’ll be the beginning of their end. Did you read the article I posted that blm support was dwindling, written in Nov. 2021?

I used to see many blm support signs in yards throughout Bloomington, 2-3 years ago. I see none now. If blm no longer has white liberal support they’ll be finished. The recent terrorists support will surely sink them and they’ll be an extreme fringe group.
Yeah. They're mostly irrelevant. And splintered. There are over 100 BLM-branded X and IG accounts. The BLM-Chicago account is managed by one guy.
 
We are all progressives and liberals. We just don't hive mind 100% of the time and will call bullshit bullshit in our own house. You are a true conservative and can and have done the same about your side. MAGA is a cult that wouldn't dare say that bad about their dear leader.

And Cori Bush? I hadn't thought about that guy in... I don't know when. He reps a small area of the country that must have some like minded people. That's how our country works. Don't like it? move or try and change the constitution.
And yeah she is a moron if she is literally for defunding the police and it's not just some figurative way of saying "police need better training".

Morons are an abundant resource in Congress these days.
 
S Korea. The funds are restricted for food etc. so if you know you have money for this covered you can use other money for nefarious purposes. Still complying with restrictions.
Not really. It moved from an account North Korea lost to an account Qatar has access to but needs permission to spend.
 
the capitol group was going after the gov. that's a far cry from blm rioters and other lefties going after private stores, the public, and neighborhoods etc. i'll take maga any day. the comparison what blm and rioters did across america to maga is no comparison.
This is so backward I can't tell if you're scratching your watch or winding your a$$.

One group was raiding stores.
Another group was searching out legislators trying to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power in our country.

Now, just because the Gravy Seals suck at what they do, doesn't mean BLM and the lefties are worse.

Thousands of cops injured. How many dead. Billions in damage. Some cities still haven’t recovered from progressives. Jan 6 lasted two hours. The system held up. As I said there’s no comparison and I don’t believe in elections fraud

And should they link money from Iran to Hamas...guess what happens?

Are you going to also pretend this money isn't freezable again?


The Biden haters and those who benefit from Biden haters are overly thirsty on this one. The gullibility is outstanding.

Right. Freeze it. But that doesn’t speak to what I wrote. There’s a temporal element
 
American foreign policy since Wilson has been a disaster. And that's both sides of the aisle. Policing the world doesn't work. We've been playing both sides of this particular conflict for 70 years. We gave Eastern Europe and Asia to the Communists, and then proceeded to fight Communism for the next 50 years. As bad as the fascists and imperialists were, they don't hold a candle to the deaths inflicted by Communism. And in our efforts to curb Communism in the ME, we arm bin Laden and help create the Taliban. We helped create the current system in Iran, then armed Saddam to fight them and the Turks. Then we go after Saddam for using our weapons to fight the Kurds (Of course when we helped fight the Kurds that was ok). We support the overthrow of Qaddafi (successful) and Assad (unsuccessful) by arming the Muslim Brotherhood and other militant groups. And round and round we go. Neither Biden, nor Obama, nor Trump are to blame for what's going on, other than the fact that our meddling/policing helps to keep these fires stoked and Americans in continued danger both here and abroad.
Ton of falsehoods and half truths in that post and everyone just let it stand. Except Hickory who apparently likes falsehoods and half truths. But what the hey, this place is a cesspool of falsehoods and half truths. It’s tiring to address them these days. Carry on.
 
It’s a well-reasoned opinion AOC offers- it’s probably safer take to not to just quote Metallica and say “kill them all”. A tribal conflict that has lasted centuries will not easily boil down to black and white like most on this message board do by absolute rote
I, & I suspect others, aren’t interested in finding out if Israel has it coming. There is one group of people in this conflict that would like to see us (Americans) dead & have killed thousands of us, & one group whose values & interests generally align with ours. I’m sure Israel has some fault in it, but seeing as they’re not chanting about chopping my head off, I’ll ride with them.

Lasted more than two hours. Sure the system held up because there are places in the Capitol the Gravy Seals can't get to.

Had they caught Pence, then what? They just let him go? Hell no. It turns into a standoff, which the Gravy Seals likely wouldn't have been prepared for. So at best our VP gets held hostage by a bunch of newbs.

Those businesses raided cost the insurance companies money.

I'm no condoning the violence of the riots juxtaposed to BLM protests. I have many friends, young men who I know from coaching, who participated in the BLM protests. I did twice as well. None of them participated in any riots. You want to link the two, go for it. Attacking the government, regardless, is far worse.

Im ignorant of this: are Twitter accounts for organizations usually managed by more than one person?

I disagree. Your post calls for speculation on Jan 6. Im telling you what happened. Insurance. That’s as disgusting as the call on smash and grabs. Insurance. Get the f out of here with that bs

I'd like to wipe the entire region off the map.

They're literally fighting over buildings and spots on a map. I'd give them all a month to get out then level the place. Both sides. Religion is the root of so much evil.

Typically they are, but it's still a very small circle, 3 or 4 people, and for something like that one of them typically wouldn't act unilaterally. Sometimes the interesting detail is which device/app the tweet came from.
 
So does your, assuming riots are linked to BLM protests. Now what?
Of course they were linked. You think the timing was just - coincidence? The summer of love riots weren’t temporally connected to blm protests? Wtf. That’s as out of it as mr highlife on cori bush being a man.

Joe may not like to see his hardware store on fire, but I'm a helluva lot more concerned about the mob threatening the VP.

I don’t have time or desire to correct all of it because I’ve done it before. Let’s just look at one part of it - Iraq’s Order of Battle (weapons and weapons systems) under the Saddam regime. He claims we armed them. WITH WHAT? Tanks? Artillery? Aircraft? Ships? Missiles? Small arms? None of that was US stuff. It was all Soviet/Russian. We did not arm Saddam’s Iraq. It’s easily looked up. It’s total nonsense which I’ve pointed out previously. Most of what he posted was total nonsense and some was kinda sorta true if you stretch it really wildly. This is standard left wing propaganda which I’ve dealt with here on many occasions. Like I said, it’s tiresome.

The system only held up due to the miraculous spine of Mike Pence- Trump and his ilk wanted to steal an election- it’s about the clearest case of disqualification for a candidate yet your bream team pounds off for him- get better brother

I don’t believe that. And I do think trump wanted to steal it. But the system was and is more than pence

I don't understand. As a small business owner I have insurance so I don't need to defend my inventory with my life.

You won't believe it, but I have read people saying as it grew near dark, new people began arriving to the protests. Many others that had been protesting left. At least some of the rioters were not protesters, they were using the protest for their own purpose. But fee of the daytime protestors wore face coverings other than COVID masks. At night, full face masks were far more common.

I have no idea how many were protesters, how many were "other". None of us know, all we can agree on is there was some non-zero percentage of both.

Personally I view the two riots similarly. A whole lot of people attended the speeches on the mall, chanted, left, no problems. It is unfair to target all of them for the bozos that went in. You can look back, I have said that for many months.

In the other case, a whole lot of people showed up, protested, chanted, left. It is unfair to target all of them for the bozos that did more.

What I don't understand, a horrible tragedy happened in Israel when Hamas terrorists butchered civilians. Why is the thread devoted now to BLM? Sure, there are some crazies in the group and some legitimately concerned people, but BLM is secondary to the real news from Israel. Trump is secondary, MAGA is secondary. The real news is what is happening/will happen in Israel and Gaza. Maybe Lebanon, maybe Iran.

BLM backwards is MLB.

yes and no. i think the news in part is what is happening here. i was just listening to the rep from the local anti defamation league on the radio working with the fbi to monitor threats. blm and other organizations, colleges allowing protests, etc is topical and in some ways more germane to our actual lives. i think of the justice being shouted down by the students at stanford yet many of that same ilk are absent in shouting down these protests. anyway it's interesting. of course it's fun to throw it in the face of hte left as they enjoy throwing maga in the face of the right, and it serves that both sides have their idiocy, but it demonstrates much is more involved than we see on the surface. blacks and jews. colleges. our representatives. left and right
 
Doesn’t matter. Republicans will continue to trumpet that.
Do you not understand how money works? Are you that elementary?

If I know I have 6 billion dollars coming in unexpectedly, then it frees 6 billion elsewhere.

How is that not understood in this discussion??
 
I didn’t see the ceasefire and that’s not why people questioned me. I said that this evening. You questioned me BEFORE that. Like I said, I hadn’t even seen it and obviously I still didn’t see the whole statement, but you questioned me before I commented on that.

I questioned you about knowing the meaning of fungible. And I questioned you if you condemned BLM and the squad AFTER you failed to answer stoll but rather corrected him with some semantics.

Please show me where I questioned you on anything but the above.

And your lack of effort to research simple statements by politicians such as AOC displays your blind loyalty to progressives.

Mo, have to believe Hamas has been planning and building its supply of armaments for sometime with Iran obtaining the use of 6 billion only recently.

Not arguing without Iran the horrendous Hamas attack on innocent Israeli citizens would never have occurred.
