The response from the echo chamber is predictable. Beliefs can't be challenged...just reinforce what I want to hear. Well, super-ignore works both ways. Good riddance.

He said they were protesting for "all the right reasons." Some of them are protesting because they support a terroristic genocide against the Jews. A better statement would have been "most of these people are protesting for all of the right reasons." Subtle but significant difference.

Your comment wasn't mean to challenge beliefs. It comes off as supremely disingenuous and I'm not even involved in the conversation. Everyone (including you) knows what Walz meant in that statement and there was nothing remotely incendiary about it.

Wow. That's not exactly a full throated endorsement, but in the context of US politics, that's a pretty brave statement.

How can it be a brave statement and extremely milquetoast at the same time?

Because some people that tend to fund political campaigns will get really upset and decide to contribute more money to Walz's opponents despite the fact that it's a fairly milquetoast statement.

The post directly above your post has nothing to do with your post. Your words are your own. I responded to your post because it seems to me a pretty egregious distortion of what Walz said.

If, however, you'd like to focus on how what Walz said can be both brave and milquetoast...in my opinion it is brave of any US politician to say anything remotely negative about the Israeli government even when the Israeli government is doing really horrible things.

It's pretty amazing how short some of these thread pages are now. It is confirmation he was simply dominating the thread with his nonsense.

I’m assuming y’all are talking about 2cups, bc multiple threads now have several pages of less than 10 posts, from my vantage point. And it’s better.
 


In other words, manslaughter? Crazy and yet utterly predictable that the IDF considers this a satisfactory resolution — our bad but we have to shoot wildly into crowds when we see a legit* target is consistent with bombing dozens or hundreds of civilians to get a few enemy combatants.

That's the conclusion one gets when you let the murderer conduct his own investigation.

Yeah, I'm sure the israeli government will get right on that "fundimentally changing their rules of engagement" idea.

All we've done is constantly draw and redraw a line in the sand then send a strongly worded email to israel to not step over it or else only to see israel step over the line

Nothing will change unless and until we stop sending them weapons and subsidizing a shitton of their public programs (among other things)

IIRC, isn't that type of homicide (formarly known as depraved heart murder) typically charged as 2nd degree murder in a majority of jurisidictions? I mean I'm sure you're not wrong that some jurisdicitons classify it as 1st degree manlaughter but I sure as hell don't remember which ones or how many.

Why do we have Netanyahu address Congress yesterday as if he is a U.S. president giving a State of the Union speech? Interposing FDR's words of 'a day that will live in infamy' in the same dwelling is presumptuous at best. Do we really need Netanyahu lecturing Americans about protest? Is this not the man who financed HAMAS for years because he mistakenly thought he could control them? Netanyahu is who he has always been and that alone should keep him out of the chamber of the House of Representatives.
