They were trained by the United States military at Ft. Bragg. You're not going to talk your way around this one. Direct US government involvement. Not "just" your rogue CIA excuse.

Look at all the censorship in Florida education policy as an example: https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/whats-with-all-the-education-news-out-of-florida-a-recap-of-education-policy-decisions/2023/08#:~:text=The original “Parental Rights in,to grades K through 12.

utter nonsense. grow up.

It's pretty rich to complain about "illiberal" progressives when the right's number one obsession right now is firing people who believe things they don't agree with.

What does "not in the name of terrorism" mean? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Mozote_massacre "On the afternoon of December 10, 1981, units of the Salvadoran Army's Atlácatl Battalion, which was created in 1980 at the U.S. Army's School of the Americas, arrived at the remote village of El Mozote after a clash with guerrillas in the vicinity." "During the morning, they proceeded to interrogate, torture, and execute the men in several locations. Around noon, they began taking the women and older girls in groups, separating them from their children and murdering them with machine guns after raping them. Girls as young as 10 were raped, and soldiers were reportedly heard bragging about how they especially liked the 12-year-old girls. Finally, they killed the children, at first by slitting their throats, and later by hanging them from trees; one child killed in this manner was reportedly two years old. After killing the entire population, the soldiers set fire to the buildings." "What made the Morazan massacre stories so threatening was that they repudiated the fundamental moral claim that undergirded US policy. They suggested that what the United States was supporting in Central America was not democracy but repression. They therefore threatened to shift the political debate from means to ends, from how best to combat the supposed Communist threat—send US troops or merely US aid?—to why the United States was backing state terrorism in the first place."

I truly believe if the average American knew what we did down there, it would drastically change our country's politics for the better. There is no clearer example of the misdeeds of our country's foreign policy direction. Overthrowing democratic governments and murdering civilians to stifle economic development to maintain our political control over the region that not only oppresses the citizens of those countries, but also undermines the power of the American worker at home.

For who? You'll find much of the world disagrees with that framing. As to your quote, I'm making fun of you for disagreeing that our gov. supports terrorism and then turning around and immediately accusing it of supporting terrorism. I am pleasantly surprised by the aid. It is being handled by the UN. Yes, Hamas fighters will also get food and medicine, but that's necessary to ensure the millions of innocent Palestinians also get it. There is a big difference between administering food and medicine and arming and training terrorists, which we've done all over the world for 70 years, from the contras and juntas of Latin America to the rebels in Syria to the Saudi government and more.

We give money to groups who are actively committing these crimes. The rebels we funded in Syria were ISIS splinter groups. We knew that at the time, but deemed it was more important to oust Assad. I'm sorry the reality of what our government does abroad disrupts your fairy tale about our country, but that's not my problem.

Yet, they literally trained and armed groups who did all those things all through Latin America. Not disputed history.

I cannot in good faith support a speaker from a family that doesn't encourage offseason freestyle wrestling for its athletes.

Now apply that to Palestine

Oh yeah, the list gets way longer if you don't limit it to strictly Islamist terror. Throw a dart at a map of South America and you'll likely hit a country we paid and trained mass-murdering terror groups in. And people wonder why the region is a disaster and people are willing to walk a 1000 miles to get here?

What would you call giving millions of dollars and weapons to Islamist extremist groups if not "sponsor?" Because that's a matter of public record.

It seems like we all hate Islamic Terror, but nobody wants to reckon with our government's role in creating it, either through direct funding or its actions in the region. It didn't come out of nowhere. It arose out of specific historical conditions that we played a part in. If I leave a can of gasoline next to an open flame, I can't pretend I wasn't involved when it blows.

Can you give an example of something Alex Jones was right about? Not denying that it exists, I'm just curious which stuff you think is true.

What are you mad about? Qatar and the US are not releasing the money to Iran right now. The money itself is a South Korean payment to Iran for oil. Even the released money (if it does get released eventually) will not be held in accounts controlled by the Iranian government.

Some examples: Direct: Funding, arming, and training the Mujahadeen to fight the Soviets. They became Al Qaeda. Funding and supporting Saudi Arabia, the world's #1 sponsor of terror (and perpetrators of 9/11) Funding and arming the Syrian rebels against Assad (secular). These rebels were Islamist fighters with large overlap with ISIS. That's where most of the weapons ended up. Funding Libyan Islamist groups against Gadhafi (secular) Funding Hamas in the 1980s - this was done by Israel, but Israel is a US client-state and you can be sure we were involved here. Indirect: 1953 Iranian Coup - admitted to by the CIA -reinstallation of the autocratic Shah and overthrow of Iranian democracy - directly led to the Islamic Revolution 30ish years later and the boon of Islamic Terror. Many consider this the original sin in the current Middle East situation. 2003 Iraq invasion - destabilized the region, put millions of young military aged men out of work and gave them a reason to hate the west (hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths). This became the starting point for ISIS. Special treatment of Israeli contravention of International Law - strong recruiting tool for Islamist groups. US routinely uses its special veto to stop UN sanctions of Israeli violations of International Law. These resolutions usually have near unanimous consent other than the US and occasionally the UK.

back to back posts lmao

Yes, the likelihood of misfires was not in question. What was unlikely is that a misfire could cause the reported damage. Hamas rockets are damn near glorified fireworks. I think Britains channel 4 did a good job here. Neither sides story add up to reality. Damage at the sight doesn’t point to a bunker buster Israeli bomb. The death toll is unconfirmed and hopefully this wasn’t the massacre it was first reported as. However, none of Israel’s evidence of a Palestinian misfire holds up either. The voice recording is a clear fake based on dialect, accent, etc..(plus we’re supposed to believe you didn’t know thousands of hamas fighters were gathering on the border for an attack but you somehow got a cell phone recording (from a group that doesn’t use them) immediately after this bombing?) And the Israeli’s can’t even keep the supposed launch strike straight in their own presentations. Evidence points to either a misfire or an Israeli air-burst munition. Without independent investigators we shouldn’t expect to get a clear answer for a while.

hope so

Ask yourself what’s more likely: An exploded rocket fragment falling at that speed, causing that sized explosion, and killing more people than the last 20 years of Palestinian rockets combined x 20? Or The country that is bombing the area with high capability explosives and told hospitals to evacuate because they would be bombed…bombed a hospital? They told us they were going to do it. They celebrated when they did. Only when they found out they killed 500+ civilians did they backtrack and claim it was someone else.

You've gotten already. Multiple times.

I'm sorry, what are you trying to accomplish? It was the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City. That's like the only part of this story that isn't under dispute.
