We had an incident earlier today due to someone having a compromised account. If you're reading this but can't log in, create a new account and make sure your password isn't something that I can Google search for.
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.
And where exactly would the Palestinians evacuate to? Egypt? Jordan? Lebanon? Syria? The U.S.? Israel? Nobody wants them for the same reasons why nobody really wants any refugees: They are a strain on the adoptive country. The surrounding countries already have a lot of Palestinian refugees. You probably also forgot about that blockade and barbed wire wall as well, huh? It's pretty heavily protected... except, for some reason, on Oct. 7th. Their total poverty and lack of travel options due to both Israel's blockade and Hamas' actions kinda makes them trapped in their own land.
And quite frankly, why the f*ck should they evacuate? It's their land. Try telling a Texan to get off their own land. Remember Waco? We're not a country that likes to take orders from outsiders.
You overlooked a lot, my guy.
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 while some doofus called Mr. Marine Layer judges you. 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.
