    I always laugh when I see the "LGBTQIA+ for Gaza" signs. OK, go wave that sign in front of Hamas.

    That is some 3D chess if true.

    Maybe its funny to people who don't understand the concept of solidarity or Christian love

    I like Irony - I think it is funny. This is dripping with irony because the thing they support would throw them off a building given the opportunity.

    Like I said, you wouldn't understand and they arent supporting Hamas, genius, only the brain poisoned think the people of Gaza (most of them women and children) = Hamas. Even if what you said was true, was Christ's love only reserved for the people that would do him no harm? Is mercy selective?

    I apologize for not being able to wrap my brain-poisoned head around "From the River to the Sea" condemning Hamas and only supporting the women and children of Gaza.

    Maybe that speaks to further brain poisoning thinking a chant that rhymes supports genocide or Hamas, or lack of good faith abound in general. Reminds me of the "ok sign" = white supremacy debate.

    What does Christ's love have to do with finding Irony funny? Not sure what you are getting at here.

    So we are excusing the chant because they don't understand the implications. Got it. I'm dismissing myself from this conversation. I'd hate to continue lowering the IQ of this board.

    Why would you laugh? I am a Jew, yet I'd defend a Nazi's free speech rights. It's not transactional. It's about principle and what's right. A gay person doesn't have to like Hamas to be opposed to Israel bombing women and children.

    Maybe Jesus was being ironic with "love thy neighbor," the golden rule ... "do unto others" big time irony bro. Ethics are so funny!

    Mostly the same land. As part of the Russo-Turk war, the Principality of Moldavia and other parts of the Ottoman Empire were ceded to Russia and formed the Bessarabia Governate (and yes, I had to look that up, not something that comes up in daily discussion).

    I took Ottoman history in college and I remember the weirdest stuff so it sounded familiar

    I somehow ran into a very brief rabbit hole last night about the Byzantine-Ottoman Wars. My world history knowledge needs some serious work!

    solidarity with people who want to throw you off of buildings? No thank you. I would just rather eliminate them.

    This is true. Just today CNN had a two hour special where all of the residents of Gaza were helping the Israeli soldiers find all of the tunnels. The Gaza folks were turning in all of the Hamas terrorist that were living in plain sight as well. It was awesome.


    Oh wait……

    never mind.
