Amazing storm in Bend today. Over .5-.75” across a lot of town. Near quarter size hail, tons of CG, and even hail fog. Going on almost two hours of hearing thunder.
Please find me any text where I show even shred of support for Hamas.
I would have thought that I have made it crystal clear my positions on these past 19 pages. I will leave it up to you to interpret what I write however you like, as you do anyway.
Let's not delude ourselves that somehow we are any different than the Palestinians living in Gaza or The West Bank. If we were in their shoes, many Americans would act exactly the same with the same anger and alignment with extremists or worse. Enemy of our enemy and all that.
We live in absolute luxury compared to the Palestinians! That does not stop us from having idiots bombing abortion clinics due to their stupid beliefs. We have gang wars. We have white supremacists scattered across the country. Hell, we have mass shootings all the time! What's our excuse? No country backed by a world superpower is stealing our land, imprisoning/blockading us, and calling us the aggressors at the same time.
Our sheer luck of not having to live their lives allows us to pretend that we are different. We're not.
Take a look in the mirror and thank your God that you do not have to live like someone in Gaza. Christianity preaches gratitude and empathy, right?
I really love wet periods this time of year. Everything is so lush and green/blooming, and the way the rain smells. The contrast of brooding dark skies and a vibrant landscape. Totally different vibe than rainy periods October-March.
Ended up with a 63/47 day here. Morning mix of clouds and sun then more overcast starting later in the afternoon with some spots of drizzle. Looking forward to the rain tomorrow.
