    Yes, I seem to recall reading that those who later came to be known as "Native Americans" practiced slavery long before Europeans arrived in the "new world". Oh wait .... this must have been Russian disinformation as it just can't be true.

    But this is O/T with regard to Hamas starting a war with Israel.

    Just take a look at a world map, and watch how quickly it transforms over the years. Blood spilled over arbitrary lines. Imagine there are no lines.

    Man, you go WAY over the top with your rabid defense of this military action in Israel.

    There's no need to nitpick you over whether there are some people, very few in the USA probably, who profess their support for Hamas. But that's not the majority, and not really the reality.

    The reality is that people opposed to Israel's military response are every bit as rational and clear-eyed as you are. Maybe moreso. There's nothing wrong with asserting that Israel apparently has no endgame, and a far too low aversion to civilian death and human suffering.

    But you're about a skip and a jump from calling people terrorist supporters. Just look at your quoted post. To reverse things, it's like someone saying to you : "Why don't you go explain yourself at the funeral of a dead Palestinian baby! Let THEM know why their kid's death is so acceptable!!"

    Jesus, be better. Don't be like that Skippy, Sport guy.

    Once again keeping in mind with the motivation of Israel's adversary in Gaza.
    Hamas's Sinwar said to laud high civilian death toll as "necessary sacrifice" in Gaza
    Said in several other posts in this thread, Hamas values martyrdom and civilians especially women and children make much better martyrs than fighters and Sinwar's statements confirm what has already been obvious.
    Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar has insisted that civilian bloodshed in Gaza is a necessary sacrifice that will lead to the liberation of Palestine, according to a report published late Monday, bolstering accusations that the terror group has intentionally put its people in harm’s way over the last eight months of devastating war in Gaza.

    In dozens of messages sent over several months and acquired by The Wall Street Journal, Sinwar communicated to Hamas compatriots and mediating parties alike that he had no interest in pursuing a ceasefire with Israel, as he believed that the growing civilian death toll would serve to benefit Hamas more than a cessation of fighting would.

    And no religion too? Didn’t mean to bring up religion. It was the only line I was certain I would get right from John Lennon’s imagine.

    Show me specifically where anyone mentions Hamas. Anti-zionists are not inherently “pro-Hamas.”

    I’m not sure why you insist on painting with a broad brush like that and it’s not a good look.

    So no issue with the rhetoric ? “ This is your chance to get out ?” Asking ‘Zionist’ to identify themselves

    not sure you’d be so dismissive if those keffiyeh were replaced with red hats. Would be lead story on every network.

    I would imagine because he's been in a bar fight he can spot a terrorist sympathizer too, people who know about violence have that skill, unlike the rest of us

    The rhetoric is terrible. Clearly intimidating and just shitty behavior in general. My issue is with you calling anti-zionists “Hamas groupies.” You’re conflating assholes with terrorist supporters. And you keep doing it.

    Wellll writing the comment that ‘Groupies are keeping it realz. With a Z’ is usually an indicator of tongue in cheek, but this train full of a jack wagons is a lot closer to sympathizer than opposed to it.

    interesting point. I absolutely recognize that like you, that that train of people is about as much of a threat as you are with your PokeMon. That little dweeb trying to lead the chant wouldn’t have 2 words to say in the face of someone opposite. No surprise he tried to bully people he outnumbered in a closed environment

    Wow, that is just aBsOlUtElY iNsAnE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That appears to be........a train full of college kids or college age people who are probably heading to a protest or political event. And they are just SOOOOOOOO violent that one of them initiated a pretty mild seeming cheer!!!

    Shocking, I tell you, just SHOCKING!!!!! I'm as shocked as if people shouted anti-Gator things at me while I walked into a football game in Knoxville!!! Why, I'd feel like it was.......OPEN SEASON ON ME!!!



    A little more seriously; yeah, that appears pretty lame. And it appears to probably be exactly what I described. And it almost 100% certainly doesn't happen on subway cars in NYC anywhere in the US other than on very random days. And it looks like nobody probably was ever, or truly would have felt, threatened.


    So quit with the laughable gaslighting.

    You dont have to double down on stupid. This is more humiliating than insisting it was all tongue in cheek.

    Good. So they're no threat, and it's no longer "open season."

    You just posted something calling this crap "open season", even though it's clearly no threat, because.......

    .......well you just wanted to post something inaccurate.

    Very enlightening, thanks.

    Talk about a twisted world view by Hamas and the leadership VA....SMH.

    Sadly, comments like this, from leadership, is why I don't think Bibi and the IDF will ever completely
    eradicate the Hamas thornbush.
