    Hamas attacks Israel

    Ok, so….who’s level does Israel have to get to…for them to be a democracy. Canadas? Someone else’s? Hamas has agreed to the latest proposal from regional mediators for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal with Israel, a source in the Palestinian armed group has told the BBC. According to...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Well…according to the index above, it’s by far closest to being a democracy than anything else in that area. You can choose to ignore that if you desire to fit your own belief system as that’s your prerogative. Oh well…sounds like most of the western world where they’re trying. With a score of...

    UNRWA. It's like this...

    This again, from over 12 years ago, that was addressed and dealt with before your news article was published? It’s not perfect, and from what I can understand it’s a work in progress, but it’s a big step ahead of everything else in that neighbourhood.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    The above link goes back to a news story from 2013: …& looking at publishing dates, it looks like this was already dealt with previous to that new story: But here we are. It really did happen a little over 12 years ago, and was addressed.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Maybe the British just promised the same chunk of land to several different people almost simultaneously and then when it came time to pay up, they had to cut the same pie into the many pieces? It was like Oprah promising everybody in the audience that they get a car, but there was only one...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Not for Israel, but for Arabs in the British Mandate, which is what I’d said, so not sure where you’re going here. Let’s call that area the “East Bank” in the British Mandate…as in that area east of the River Jordan. Which Palestinians? Which ones where don’t have what rights granted to them...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    I’ve always liked Mandy Patinkin, as an actor. Here’s my favorite scene: (YouTube & Dead Like Me - We all have a finite amount of time) So I watched the video posted by Serryah & the clip she chose to post, & in it Mandy Paninkin doesn’t actually ever mention Hamas or anybody else doing...

    By they, I’m assuming, you aren’t referring to the Palestinians.😉. Black September-Style. Etc…

    Hamas attacks Israel

    There’s a whole lot of that in this thread. So, how do Israelis distinguish Al Qassam from Hamas and Hezbollah and Houthis and Islamic Jihad and Iran’s various domestic antisocial playmates, etc…apart in conversation?

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Anyway, Trump on Sunday promised "BIG PROGRESS ON RUSSIA" in a social media post without specifying what this might be. Sources briefed on Moscow's thinking told Reuters the U.S. and Russian leaders have discussed proposals for Russia to relinquish tiny pockets of occupied Ukraine in exchange...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Maybe if Canada was to invade Ukraine, or threatened to invade Taiwan, we might get a much fairer shake on the tariff dice?😉

    Independent Hopeful probably most common sense person running

    After the last decade of Trudeau, and all the crazy scandalous shit that they were doing, whereas even the last couple years, the CBC was calling them out…& it was scandal on top of scandal on top of scandal overlapping continuously for years, & even though many of the news medias were picking...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Ok. I could see the Palestinians referring to the armed branch of Hamas in that way, as that’s their local team, but why would the Israeli’s (?) when Al Qassam literally means “the armed branch of an (not the) Islamic movement” when in the last two years alone they’ve been attacked by Hamas and...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    I’m just taking a break from mowing before I go back for round two, as it went for being pretty damn cool this morning to mug and gross if you’re actually doing labour-ish stuff this afternoon. So, is “everybody” waiting for the tanks to roll into Jordan something something Jews? Is that a...

    Next group coming for coffee to probably arrive shortly….then once they jump to aquariums after coffee, I’m jumping to lawns (ours and a few others)….but’ll come back to this when time permits.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Sorry, I missed this paragraph earlier. Getting into the semantics of things, let me circle back to an earlier post of yours this morning. Etc… as I think I can see where you’re trying to tie things together. Much like my question about how you’re defining “pencil pushers” regarding the Nazis...
