Even Bill Maher gets it mostly right:

Jake Wallis Simons: “Gaza sits on top of an underground aquifer. For 18 years, while Hamas has neglected its water infrastructure and directed its resources towards funding terror, including tunnels, rockets, arms and explosives, Israel has been pumping in water, effectively propping up a jihadi regime for humanitarian purposes. The same goes for electricity and other resources. Now the rules have changed. Israel withdrew entirely from Gaza in 2005, leaving behind profitable farms and other facilities. These were destroyed by Hamas because they were seen to be tainted by the Jews. Under the mismanagement, corruption and fanaticism that followed, Gaza’s economy crashed. Israel, of course, had to keep the border sealed to avoid the scenes of carnage that we have tragically witnessed in recent days. One thing is clear: if Gaza is an ‘open-air prison’, the true jailers are Hamas. Although Israel has been propping up Gazan society for years, it is under no legal obligation to pick up the tab for a foreign country, let alone one that is led by a regime that is hellbent on another Holocaust. And although many ordinary Palestinians loathe the terror group, an inconvenient fact is that in 2005 they elected them.” https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/hamas-is-not-long-for-this-world/

“Fact-checkers” have been shown to be decidedly partisan. Even when they get one right they tend to hedge.

Hoisted by his own peturd.

Being reluctant to say Make America Great Again is silly because it’s not doing so good right now.

I disagree. I see plenty of people, citizens of this country, that are actively trying to devolve the government to a true marxist model. That would be catastrophic, not great.

It started as a joke. People were discussing how nutty pampered affluent white people reacted to innocuous statements and hypothesized that if we posted a bunch of flyers that said “It’s Alright to be White” it would be decried as racist. They did and it was.

You’re doing good, kid, but it’s past your bedtime. If it’s important enough, schumer will put a vote on the floor when he gets back from his vacation.

I’m drawing the impression of a bowling ball.

It’s okay.

Come on man. Biden’s not racist, he just hires people based on their skin color, and donations.

I hope the Palestinians replace Hamas with a legitimately cooperative leadership that has their best interest at heart. With the extensions of the Abraham Accords, Iran and their proxies are becoming isolated.

South of the Wadi river, about three or four miles south. 400,000 had already moved out before the warning.

Israel has warned ‘innocent’ Palestinians to leave northern Gaza. What has Hamas told them?

If you say so.

The Israeli military wears a uniform.

Make America Great Again. Some people won’t even say it.

Make America Great Again. Some people are against doing that.

How do you distinguish between Hamas and innocent Palestinian?

If those positions are so critical, would you recommend that the Senate get busy and vote on them? Tuberville isn’t blocking the vote, only unanimous consent. So though the instances you give may appear to be better handled without his objection, which he has every right to cast, they are not blocked.

Nope

Doubtful.

8 year? Will there be any left.

No, you don’t. But you should.
