Sure. If anything, the last few years has shown American hubris and the limits of American power and influence.

I stand corrected!
So, I just watched some clips of the pro Palestine protests. Most of these people are very young. I can't help but wonder what in the tardation nation is going on with them. None of them, that I saw, looked mentally handicapped - but they're obviously simpletons or some such.

Islam is a system of hate that is forced on children when they're young. These people are brainwashed or unthinking as a result.
I tax my brain to come up with positive contributions to humanity from Muslims and specifically Arab Muslims. So far I've got nothing.

A city council member tried to insert language condemning Hamas.
This was the reaction… pic.twitter.com/r7aTb2mkrQ

I think you know the answer to that.
I'm white, male, lean right, and own guns. Pretty sure they'd consider me a terrorist. But Hamas is cool.

The psychosis is real.
lol, the abuse of misplaced empathy is a new form of religion in California.
I lived there when the seeds were sown. Fortunately, circumstances bade me leave there before germination took place. Can't see myself ever moving back!

I like the fact that the Oakland city council believes it somehow has a roll to play in an event in the Middle East. Isn’t their city a shit hole? I’m sure they’ve got plenty to worry about there. One thing Hamas and the IDF would agree on, if they were to ever hear about this resolution, is their reaction: “Oakland? What the fuck is that?”
lol
This is absolutely spectacular.

The Left, in general, has completely convinced their cult that every minority is oppressed and a victim of propaganda from the majority. Always and everywhere - no exceptions, and to even entertain other explanations makes you insensitive or racist or whatever.
It's a strange hypocrisy when everything else on the Left is about "science", "consensus" and "majority", except with identity politics then it's a right-wing conspiracy of oppression.
I don’t know, being killed for where and when you were born is kind of oppressive

Who is killing whom for where they were born?
Look at the thread title tardo

I'd say plenty of both sides killing the other for that very reason. This is all because of religion and will never be solved. The fact that the US finances one side is insane to me. I know its our de facto base of operations in the ME. But we're backing people who are there because God "promised" them that land versus people who are following a death cult.

If you support and/or harbor terrorists, you're not innocent. Silence is violence, right? Or I guess that only applies to, you know, minorities.

Do you really think if Hamas was wiped from that region that Israel is killing Palestinians randomly, much less systematically?
You see, that's how you know which side is good, the one that doesn't indiscriminately kill without provacation.

Children do not harbor terrorists. The IDF is going batshit crazy with way too many civilian casualties. That being said, Hamas has got to go.
Israel is acting more vindictive than strategic, kind of like the US was after 9/11. If they have to go boots on ground and house to house to save civilians, then that is what the need to do
Being born in Gaza in the last 20 years or so should not be a death sentenceposted by gutDo you really think if Hamas was wiped from that region that Israel is killing Palestinians randomly, much less systematically?

Nah, the Isreali model is to slowly take more and more Palestinian land to where there is no such thing as a Palestinian state in the west Bank and to isolate the people in Gaza.
Also, Israel is well known in its history to assassinate and kill people. A great book on the topic was released a few years ago, Rise and Kill First.
Your line of thinking is also very flawed as the last 20 years have shown us in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, etc in that bombings that kill innocent civilians does more harm than good. Israel is only creating the next generation of enemies with their bombing in Gaza. I know they have to defend themselves, but their actions is the next step in this vicious cycle that is just continuing.
No one and I mean no one is in the right in this conflict. Neither side really wants peace because it means accepting some deep and hard truths about living together that would strip away what both states stand for: Israel as a a Jewish state and the Palestinians right to return.
