Need more info. Does the earth immediately stop spinning and start spinning in the opposite direction? Or does it gradually stop over an arbitrary amount of time and reverse directions? Haven't seen the episode....

I was getting ready to say....whoever's in that Gumby suit is probably terrifying out of the suit as well. Look how big that body has to be to be. Fuckers shoulders are like 6' off the ground.

So, by your argument, just "glassing" Gaza would be totally acceptable in your eyes? That the deaths of Palestinian people are acceptable collateral damage in an effort to defend themselves from Hamas? I mean, where do you draw the line between killing a few, and full blown genocide?

Because they take on the risk of what happens if you don't pay it or default. They have to pay out a massive amount of money that they could have used for other investments, instead you become the investment and they just hope you'll pay off, literally.

You don't have to have the bank front you a loan though, you could just save up for 30 years and pay it all off with cash, but given the way housing prices are increasing, that seems to be a terrible plan. By the time you've saved up $150k for that $300k home, that home will likely be worth $450k lol. It's better to get in early, lock in a rate (and refinance later), and start to pay off your mortgage now.

No, I was implying that most people in Washington are blindly siding with Israel on this matter.

Israel doing a ceasefire doesn't meant they just let Hamas blindly attack, literally no one is saying that. Israel is one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world. They declare a no man's land, they monitor for attacks, and they allow for the evacuation/humanitarian support of Palestinian citizens. America has forces there - they need to help mediate and figure out what the next steps are. Because carpet bombing Gaza is not the acceptable answer.

I don't believe that Palestinians should be spared so that Israelites die in their place.

This is the argument that's been used for years to justify the countless death of Palestinian citizens. Check out the chart below....how one sided it is.

They both made that statement based on reports at that time. Omar has since retracted that claim after US officials concurred with the evidence, but Tlaib hasn't said anything. Sure, I agree that she should walk back the statement and issue a correction, but I don't think anything about calling for a "ceasefire" is unhinged. It's worth noting that she's also Palestinian. This is an issue that literally hits home for her. I'm happy that she's one of the few that is standing up to support the Palestinian people here, and not just blindly siding with Israel.

Is it?

Check my next post where I detail how many Palestinian buildings have been destroyed. They gave everyone 24 hours and then just decimated the city. "Accidental rockets, bombs, and missiles are making their way over to civilian populations. Hell. There's a video making the rounds on Reddit about a young, hysterical Palestinian boy who witnessed his friends head explode and his brains splattered on the ground after an Israeli missile.

The IDF and Hamas are no different. Both are committing horrific atrocities. Don't be fooled into thinking that they are morally justified in anything that they are doing right now.

How am I misrepresenting any facts? Pray tell.

That is literally factual information. You seem to think that Israel is totally justified to do whatever they want and that "the ends justify the means". Wanting to eradicate Hamas does not give Israel carte blanche to just eradicate Gaza.

I don't see how this can be anything other than a "justified" land grab. Theyve done this for years. Declared someplace as "state land" kick the Gazans out and then build settlements there (Source). This time, that have all the justification they feel that they need to rush in and take as much as possible - they will 100% never give that land back that they've taken. In order to make it more difficult and futile for Gazans to get their land back, Israel has been destroying Infrastructure there. So far, in their "War on Terror" they've destroyed 22,600 residential units, 90 education facilities, 18 places of worship, 19health centers, 20 ambulances, 70 industrial facilities, and 49 media offices (per United Nations - Oct 13th). Israel is using this war to destroy Gaza, not just Hamas, and it's been supported by people like you.

This is more than just a war on Hamas. This is why people like Tlaib are calling for ceasefires. What's happening to the Gazan people in the name of "Fighting Terrorism" is absolutely criminal.

Fuck what Hamas did. But that doesn't give Israel the right to displace everyone in Gaza, drop bombs on them with reckless abandon with no regards to if there are innocent people there, and steal their land. Israel's response to this is sickening. I don't support Hamas, but I literally can't support what Israel has done to, and is actively doing to the Gazan people in the name of fighting terrorism.

Friendly reminder that Netanyahu actively sabotaged any peacetalks by literally supporting Hamas. He gave funds inappropriately to Gaza, purposefully knowing that the funds would reach Hamas. He literally fought against peace talks as he didn't want a Gazan state.

Yeah. I can agree with that. I think he was trying to provide a unique brand a la Colbert Report. I agree it can be a little schlocky, but the information is typically really good. I think one of the biggest improvements he could make would be to do shorter segments. Split his videos up into more videos. He'd get more money by doing it, and the information would likely be easier to digest. It's a lot of deep dives which can get a little exhausting. Still, he's fighting the good fight, so I can't complain too much.

Calling for a ceasefire is not showing support for Hamas. It's to prevent the needless slaughter of thousands upon thousands of men, woman, and children that have nothing to do with the fight or the issues.

How do you not get that? Or are the deaths of these people just acceptable collateral damage to you?

I'm struggling to understand your rationale here. The image below from the link that you posted....that's showing support for Hamas? So this really is just a black and white thing for you? It's either support Israel and support their apartheid, almost genocidal approach to killing Gazan people.....or supporting Hamas? Seriously? She's calling for ceasefire so that people aren't needlessly being slaughtered. Maybe figure out a way to help people so that horrific shit like this doesn't happen.

Cody is fantastic. His videos are always witty, and his "exhausted; so done with the bullshit" character is just so on point. It's almost reflective of how so much of us feel, but he's still there putting up the good fight. I really hope he keeps it up and grows bigger. This dude is destined for great things.

Blindly supports Hamas? Point where she fucking did that at all...ever....in any of her speeches, because I guarantee you that's not true. You're literally making shit up at this point.

Calls for ceasefire so less innocent civilians die...

Called unhinged.

Nice.

That sounds like some weird "alpha male" shit.

Soooo...toroidal fan blades and something to dampen sound, like aerogel? Powered by "aerospace tech" is quite the marketing spin for something like this.

Yo, but the facts don't care about your feelings. Lol

Disney is printing money whether you like the content or not.

The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) are fucking monsters. There is no justification for hitting a hospital full of civilians except to cause pain, suffering, and fear. The IDF is no better than the terrorists that they fight against.

This is no "accident". The IDF have some of the most hi-tech weaponry in the world. This is purposeful.
