They've offered to release the hostages repeatedly in exchange for a ceasefire and Israel refuses the deal. Also, Hamas has released a huge portion of the hostages. Most non-military hostages have been released by now. Israel has also killed many of the hostages during their bombing campaigns. It's estimated that there are about 25 hostages left alive in Gaza. What do you have to say about Palestinian hostages held by Israel? Israel arrests hundreds of Palestinian *children* each year without formal charges and holds them indefinitely. On top of that, there are thousands of Palestinians held prisoner indefinitely without formally being charged and no due process. That's been happening for decades. That was why Hamas took hostages in the first place - it was a strategic effort to return 1,000s of Palestinian prisoners being held illegally. This was never about the hostages. They could have had every living hostage back a year ago if it was. The purpose is to level Gaza so that the Palestinians can't return and then seize the land for Israel. And it's not a secret. Israel's politicians and generals talk openly about this in Hebrew to their domestic audience.

I'm not in favor of its removal. I doubt it's removal gives more weight classes to men's and women's FS. I think removing Greco is just a sad day for wrestling. I was just pointing out that a great sport can be ruined by a lack of rules innovation, and at a high level greco has been ruined.

$0 and under investigation for fraud.

But without looking at who did or didn't win medals for us, there is zero context and zero relevance. Our next 65 KG guys are very different than the last ones and will compete in different 65 KG weight classes against different opponents. You mention we have 1 gold in that stretch. It's Bill Zaddick who is not close to the best American in this weight, but had a good draw and a good day. That's because he wasn't competing against the most consistently tough weight class in the world. He was competing against the 2006 66KG field. It didn't matter how good that weight usually was, it mattered who was there that day. Blaze and Forest won't compete against the guys of the past 25 years. They will compete mostly against the guys they've been competing against and the u20/u17 guys who preceded and followed them.

Explain to me how there is mass starvation. Less than 250 people have starved to death in the last 3/4 years.

Ask Hamas to stop stealing their food then.

Seems like you're getting the kind of attention you are looking for... But still super dumb- you're doing a disservice to Iranian wrestling fans.

Again, for the sake of accuracy, by the looks of the comments I don't know if "we all" would be completely accurate.

And now the state has nothing of value from Trump. They spent ton of money prosecuting him….. and were left with zero financial gain. They could have prosecuted illegal aliens or actual crime instead. That and. What really makes the left mad. Their goal to not get Trump re elected still occurred. the penalties left are nothing but a slap on the wrist. They should sue erdogan’s smug smile now.

Appears so. It's a really weird ruling actually. Almost as if among the five judges they kind of settled on upholding the ruling but throwing out the fines.

And the world also says it's not okay to starve and kill civilians because of their government's actions. That's international law.

Oh wow, in Iran we have tons of jokes and sayings about mothers-in-law. We even have a type of cactus with long, dangerous spines that no one can get near - we call it the 'mother-in-law’s tongue . I’ve attached a photo of it below.

Not Hamas specifically, but the Palestinian people overall. Illegal West Bank settlements erode faith in the peace process for all Palestinians, not just the ones who live in the West Bank.

Forget the quantity, the 3 studs cited has to do with quality. Blaze, Ono and Duke will all be champs. Book it. Blaze, Ono and Duke will all be champs.

The appeals court said that the penalty, “which directs that defendants pay nearly half a billion dollars to the State of New York, is an excessive fine that violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution.”

We all read the story. Still a win and funny IMO.

Weird there isn't a folkstyle world championship.

Yup. Some dumb wingers only read what they want to believe and filter out the rest.

So the fine is $0?

None of those results independently would surprise me, but 7 champs seems a bit aggressive.

Important to note, for the sake of accuracy and those who don't read the story but only the read and run with the headline and social media tidbits, but the only part that changed was the fine. The courts upheld that he/they committed 'brazen fraud', as were the sanctions against Trump, his son, and Weisellberg. The judgement of fraud was not thrown out, but rather the ruling was that the amount of fine was excessive. I know, I know, I'm suffering from some huge case of TDS.....but the facts remain the facts regardless.

The mother in law concept spans all cultures and languages.

You write in your sig "I’m a Trump minion," and see if I complain? Here, in this thread, I’m only talking wrestling. If you really want to discuss my sig, go to the Non Wrestling Topics forum.

Why won’t other Arabs / egypt help Palestinians ? I don’t think anyone answered it
