There are protestors overtly supporting Hamas, using Hamas slogans, and claiming all Jewish Israelis are colonists who should be expelled from Israel. Not all of them certainly but some of them. That is what bothers me about aggressive protests. Subtly is usually lost as nuanced goals are not the strong suit of protests: https://apnews.com/article/columbia-yale-israel-palestinians-protests-56c3d9d0a278c15ed8e4132a75ea9599

Support for Hamas by protesters doesn’t equate to support for expulsion (or worse) of Jewish Israelis? Given that is a stated goal of Hamas and to my knowledge Hamas hasn’t moderated that goal how else should overt support for Hamas by protesters and use of its slogans be construed? This isn’t to defend Netanyahu or the Israeli Likud government there actions are reprehensible. But supporting other reprehensible actors doesn’t seem, to me, like a good plan. I support two state solution. I oppose Israeli efforts to expel Palestinians and Palestinians efforts to expel Israeli Jews.

The protesters are not subtle or nuanced in their positions… that I agree on. And I do not personally want US Military hardware sent to Israel. However, I’m also under no illusion that Hamas is the “good guy” or that the use of “from the river to the sea” is anything but a slogan for expulsion (or worse) of entire ethnic groups within the territory of Israel/Palestine whichever side trots it out.

I do see your point. However, Andat resented their binding and existence and constantly attempted to destroy themselves as a result… this isn’t true of the “Gods” of Kithamar… but then the “Gods” in this series are free to act and aren’t bound by their creators as the “God” of Kithamar demonstrates.

Yes. So… I was just at the Grocery Store picking up wine for a houseguest staying with us for the weekend. I’m standing in line to buy the wine and there is a guy at the next register who looks exactly like Colin Kaepernick. Since staying silent isn’t my forte I said “Sir?” He looked at me and I said, “Has anyone told you that you are the spitting image of Colin Kaepernick?”. He said, “Every day of my life.” I said, “A man to be respected.” I think that was him. What Colin Kaepernick was doing here… I have no idea. How random.

I seem to recall the Pentagon has been using value recalculations to get more aid to Ukraine even after the last package “ran out”. I think they’re ready to ship… just waiting for permission.

:boom: Quite literally.

I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

If the Russians are pissed… I’m happy.

@Werthead Any speculation on the political and military impact assuming all goes well and the $60 Billion military aid package is passed by the US House today?
