uncle bernard

i condemn it as strongly as i condemn israel’s embassy strike.

he knows nothing about the issue that he didn’t read in a tweet (and that tweet was probably from someone who knows even less than him). at least you seem to know the basic events. you just disagree on the decisions made.

“midst of a genocide” “world resolution” “and bad at history” the holocaust had been over for years before the Nakba. the balfour declaration happened in 1917 (that’s pre-holocaust if you don’t know) as a result of the british taking control of the land from the ottoman empire. the british gov saw giving the jews a homeland as a convenient way of importing friendly white europeans into a hostile colonial state. and it wasn’t a “world resolution.” it was done by the British government. one of the biggest issues with the whole thing is that there was little input from “the world” unless you think the world only means europe and not anywhere that isn’t western/white. britain relinquishing control of the territory to the jewish settlers it had been importing for 30 years was done as reparation for the holocaust and due to their diminished ability to maintain a global empire after fighting two world wars. and that’s not my problem either! i think anybody has the right to live wherever they want. i don’t think you can do it by violently displacing the people who already lived there. jews have every right to return to their holy land. but so do the palestinians they displaced. the whole project was doomed from the start by the behavior of the first settlers, colonial powers, (and yes) the palestinian locals. the british gov gave israel control of land without properly including the land’s current inhabitants in the process. people whose families had lived in the same house for hundreds of years were told they had leave. people resisted as people always do when their home is under threat. the resulting turmoil resulted in the displacement of 750,000 Palestinians (on top of those who lost their homes in the original declaration) and doomed any prospect of Israel ever being at peace. “bad at history” lmao I’d say your only understanding of this issue comes from reading the wikipedia page, but i think you’re too lazy to even do that!

israel’s raided (and destroyed) all the hospitals in gaza they claimed to have the secret hamas headquarters. still haven’t found it. killed a ton of civilians in the process though!

native americans. they certainly lived on it longer and far more recently than israeli jews. if you think european jews had a right to return and take land in israel, you better also believe the same about native americans.

they can go after hamas all they want. they can’t do that by bombing indiscriminately and killing thousands of women and children.

yes. does that give them the right to do wrong in return? that’s toddler morality. I suppose you think the Sioux should establish an ethnostate in the Dakotas and sequester the current white inhabitants into open air prisons under military siege? After all, we committed a genocide against them and it was their land until only a couple hundred years ago (as opposed to 2000 years).

both sides have broken ceasefires.

the world didn’t start on 10/7. actions have consequences and our country has the power to put a stop to this madness for the good of both sides but that doesn’t aid our imperial aspirations in the region so we keep funding our proxy state who is apparently intent on suicide.

yeah this is happening because Iran got their own money back and not because Israel bombed their embassy and assassinated their diplomat. from the same genius who said ethnic cleansing was the solution to the problem. iran has every right to respond according to your own logic. if iran had struck an israeli embassy, you freaks would be baying for blood.

This is what most of y’all on the Israel thread asked for. This is the logical endpoint of letting Israel run wild without restraint. They are escalating because they’re betting on the US bailing them out. the slaughter in gaza should have ended months ago. now it may be too late.

you need to watch the entire full minute. the fix was clearly in. no idea why they didn't award the clear takedown earlier. confirmed by on mat official and first judge. third guy called them over (no challenge) and holds up the white paddle. inexplicable. UWW should overturn this and issue bans. you're also wrong about the final call anyway. no reaction time in freestyle. knee is down with chamizo fully behind.

Israel's killed 3x as many civilians as Russia in Ukraine (in a much shorter timespan). At some point, they become the aggressors when they continue to kill at that rate. Is Sadulaev in the military? Taking place in the atrocities? If not, this is thought crime. Nick Lee supported nuking Kabul. That would have killed way more people than Russia's war. It's selective punishment. Plus, it's not exactly like Russia is the freest country in the world.

fixed your post for you

Can't help but notice nobody is acknowledging the actual veteran's opinion on this lol. Being mad at everything is too important to them. Well said sir. IIRC @Le duke is also a veteran being shouted down for having a reasonable take. Maybe our board "patriots" just hate our troops?

then why is North Korea allowed to participate? Or any authoritarian country.

So stupid. UWW would never hold America to the same standard. Hell, they don't even hold Iran to that standard when they refuse to wrestle Israel. Or Israel for bombing Gaza, Lebanon, or Syria. Just be consistent with the punishments or don't do it at all. Nick Lee retweeted a tweet saying we should nuke Kabul. Should he be banned for his opinion?

Don't lump me in. I haven't called anybody abusers. Just stupid! Because this was very clearly not an anthem protest despite what those who like being mad all the time believe. Getting mad and criticizing people over nothing like a bunch of snowflakes. As an aside, the whole obsession with playing the anthem before every sporting event is so weird. Doesn't bother me at all personally, but I don't understand why it's necessary to play the anthem at an Iowa-Cal Baptist wrestling meet.

It's still the motto at Army. Once again falling for rage bait that isn't true. Your contention is that the US Military academy doesn't support our country sufficiently? Must be fun to walk around all day with your brain leaking out your ears.

Maybe you should accept that not being on the field for the anthem is normal and you bought into fake rage bait because you're addicted to being mad.

What about Army football?

Army football has clearly gone WOKE and HATES OUR COUNTRY!!!!!

What does any of this have to with the LSU team? It wasn't a protest.

Don't expect @Husker_Du to react to obvious contradictions in his logic. He's addicted to the dopamine rush he gets from being mad at people he's never met online. Terminal Twitter Outrage Brain.
