Your question to him was about what is "Jewishness." He basically implied in another post that I'm an anti-Semite. It was only natural to turn the tables with an equally absurd claim.

We gotta get people turned on to cross-country skiing.

I'm going to be lazy and not even look it up, but if I heard correctly from the NBC team that 1980 "Miracle on Ice" game wasn't even a gold medal game. I had always thought it was. They said in those days it was round robin and US won the gold later on aggregate. Whatever the case, that was a...

Please stop.

P5 may be an anti-Semite.

Yes, you're absolutely correct. That boat has shipped. I probably didn't make a convincing case in my prior post, but what I meant is this: From a strategic standpoint, allying with Iran would have been much more beneficial to us than Saudi Arabia, for instance. They have a more capable...

Permit me a brief rant. But regarding Oct. 7th, they knew! Israel knew! We know for a fact their government knew an attack was going to occur. US media hasn't reported about it because, well. But they knew. We know why Netanyahu allowed it. Because he was going to undergo corruption charges...

It seems most here are on the same page, but if you're not, just you look up Israeli settler videos from the West Bank. You talk about getting your blood boiled. The things they do to the Arabs there are just complete atrocities.

That is very well put. That aside, they're just flat out killing people for living space. You're a smart dude, and I'm sure you've seen them, but nothing like a video of Israeli settlers in the West Bank doing "their thing" to convince you of the nature of the general Israeli state. It is...

We've seen enough now to know what's happening. Gaza is a genocide. Plain and simple. What Israel doing in the West Bank with the settlers further confirms it. Just lawless. I guess "Never Again" doesn't mean ever again. As long as it applies to them. Somehow they became the Nazis...

If the US needed a true ally in the Middle East, it would be Iran. But, as you said, we screwed it up. As did they they. Perhaps in the future it can be repaired but I hope it doesn't require a war.

Yes, you're absolutely correct. And the Israelis must just laugh their asses off about it. The thing I fear, however, is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Where Revelations becomes true simply because dumbasses made it so.

Forgive me if something of this nature is already a thread but I did not find one in my search. What say you about the influence of Israel and Israeli interests in American politics? Curious your thoughts.

Now that I think about the robbery gone wrong angle a little more, I wonder why someone would ask ransom when they would be best served by trying to disappear. Perhaps the perpetrator is wanting to milk it regardless and hasn't quite figured out how yet? Whatever the case, it appears it was...

I haven't paid close attention to this because there's obviously other things going on in our world. I hadn't even thought about it just being a robbery gone wrong. But I believe you may be right. I have assumed it was a kidnapping attempt gone wrong (like you, I agree she died in the attempt...
