Not God? All you have to do is read the Bible. As a matter of fact, everything is happening exactly as according to scripture.

I bet there will be some really puzzled assholes when even the US turns against Israel and yet Israel survives.

I worded that badly.  I agree with you. 

Queen Rania al Abdullah has come out in defense of the anti-Israel protests and riots that have cropped up across American colleges and universities. She has argued that the students who are leading these efforts simply want justice and peace, according to the New York Post.

Rania who is the wife of Jordan's King Abdullah II is a Palestinian and has been vocal about the Israel-Hamas war since Israel responded to a surprise attack that was carried out by Hamas.


If she cares so much about the folks in Gaza, why doesn't she convince her old mam to take in a bunch of them.

Quote from: Oliver the Second on May 04, 2024, 01:43:08 PMWell yeah but isn't that kinda Gods fault since he created us?

 No. The first humans had free will and chose to go against God. God could wiped us out then and there and been justified.

What Senator Rubio said should be common sense, but in today's environment it is courageous.

I'm GLAD, GLAD, GLAD, the civilians are dying!!! I shit on their corpses in fact! THEY elected Hamas and they should all die for it!

I guess that was a fatal error. Too bad.

while I do not share your enthusiasm at the idea of civilian causalities I do agree they should not be the cause for Israel to halt their offensive. That is the exact playbook HAMAS is counting on and will only lead to more of the same. Death and unnecessary bloodshed on BOTH SIDES

I don't hold the average Gazan accountable for the existence of HAMAS in their current position of power because I believe, for the most part, the vast majority of them were disenfranchised much the way we were in 2020. It's not like HAMAS is known for fair and transparent elections.

That makes me admire our founders all the more. The more the English persecuted them, the harder they fought. It also makes me sad that we've lost that fighting spirit.

But, apparently not enough to let Palestinians into her country.

They have let Palestinians in their country.  I have family in Amman that fled Jerusalem.  Thank God they were able to build a life there.  No they can't allow 1.5 million people in.  Thats crazy anyone thinks they can.

I've read that.  I didn't say they were taking refugees during this war.
