“CAMBRIDGE, MA — A local university student expressed her own tremendous virtue by proudly announcing she would never have gone along with the rise of the Nazi party in Germany as she walked across campus to attend a "Kill the Jews" rally taking place on the Quad. "Oh yeah, I would have nipped all that Hitler stuff in the bud," said Harvard junior Dianna Stephens. "I'm telling you, if I was in Germany back then, I would have never participated in the horrific things the Nazis were doing. Now, which way to the rally where we're cheering for the entire nation of Israel to be pushed into the sea?" Stephens was joined by a number of her fellow students who all agreed that none of them would have allowed the evil Nazi ideology to spread in the years prior to World War II. "What the Nazis did was really awful," said sophomore Allison Davis. "Singling out one ethnic group, blaming them for all the ills of the world, rounding them up, and systematically slaughtering them? How hideous! I could never be a part of that. That's why today I'm standing with those who want to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth if it's the last thing they ever do." At publishing time, the group of students had promised their generation would never allow the world to be plunged into something like WWII ever again. "It's up to our generation to keep humanity from repeating the same mistakes of the past," Stephens said. "Now where were we? Oh yeah--from the river to the sea! From the river to the sea!"” https://babylonbee.com/news/i-wouldnt-have-gone-along-with-the-nazis-in-1939-says-college-student-at-kill-the-jews-rally

Now I know what unconventional meant.

First move looks good. “WASHINGTON — In his first major move, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is using the bipartisan goal of providing aid to Israelto pick a fight with President Joe Biden over his signature achievement. A new bill House Republicans released Monday includes $14.3 billion in emergency funding for Israel while rescinding the same amount of IRS funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, a major climate, health care and tax law Biden signed last year.“ https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/speaker-mike-johnson-israel-aid-fight-biden-irs-rcna122868

26 in two weeks. Must have held back a year.

I’m scared to think about that.

And Jews/Israelites/Hebrews were in Israel a couple thousand years before there were Muslims.

Saying it’s a HS kid, no immediate help.

The Jews have been there for thousands of years, the nomadic Arabs were more from Sinai, with some from Jordan and Syria.

Yes, any idea?

Palestine? Pffft! That’s funny.

Two state solution. Homecoming.

They use their boots a lot more than they use their lips.

I’m sure it’s a very pleasant experience.

You would prefer your child was tortured and burned alive? Psycho?

There was a sad interview with a father of a girl who didn’t come home from the concert that Hamas attacked. He thanked God when he found out she had been killed instead of taken hostage.

I don’t necessarily want us to reflect anybody. Let me guess your’s. North Korea has no religion. Am I right?

Are you being prevented from practicing your religion?

I wouldn’t condone targeting innocent civilians, keywords innocent and civilians. But Hamas rarely dresses, stands, and fights as a military force. In fact, they use human shields. About a quarter of their rockets land on Palestinian territory. They consider it honorable to lie. If they weren’t so exclusively focused on annihilating Jews, they wouldn’t have many problems.

When Hamas fires its rockets, who are they aimed at?

C’mon, give us a hint on OSU.

There’s a war going on. Skip it if you can.

After realizing that your “freedom from religion” and complete separation of church and state arguments are false, you should recognize that the questions you ask are irrelevant.
