I accidentally ran into their newest release that’s only three hours old. I like it. It’s the 3rd video below. I looked for lyrics and lucked out. (I’m not impressed by the lyrics. Am I missing something?)

I’ll present the live fancam-quality video first. The audio is unsurprisingly awful (IMO), but you can see the professional video cameras on…[Read more]

@ Jake

You’re missing my point which is that Israel doesn’t seem to respect even the most basic guard rails. No number of dead Palestinians seems to be enough. Gaza is becoming a death/extermination camp.

You know, after WWII, the Japanese were sure that they would suffer terrible consequences once it was clear they had lost the war. What the…[Read more]

The violent attacks on Israel (first from Egyptian, Syrian, and Jordanian Arab armies and later from assorted terrorist groups) and the indoctrination of Palestinian children into an ideology of hate has been going on for so many decades that these Jihadists-in-training probably do not even understand that it is abnormal.

That may…[Read more]

But isn’t it telling and consistent with the hyperfocus on Israel and the glaring double standards that wrongdoing by Israel evokes rage and endless condemnation while equal and far worse acts are blithely ignored.

About 1,400 victims of Hamas terror strike.
About 17,000 victims of Israeli response so far.

Double standard? A…[Read more]

If genocide were Israel’s intention, wouldn’t they have used Dresden-style firebombing and achieved genocide even faster?

That would have not been subtle and would have incurred even more outrage than the (well deserved) outrage they are receiving now. Whether the genocide is de jure or de facto is of little concern to…[Read more]

It is a shame that during the election when HAMAS gained control, only 1/3 of Palestinians voted and the more secular party, Fatah ran multiple candidates, further lessening their chances. Israel made the mistake of initially supporting HAMAS financially, believing that increasing the wealth of Gazans would lessen terrorist…

@ Jake

Apparently, the way Israel curries the favor of Gazan Palestinians is 1) no food; 2) no water; 3) no medicine, hospitals, or doctors; and 4) no safe haven.

Reverse psychology?

The Palestinians endorse a terrorist organization committed to exterminating and removing all Jews, same as the as Nazis. Anyone who kills a Jew is martyr and is celebrated. Israel does not have a stated goal of exterminating all Palestinians and would much prefer a negotiated settlement. Therefore, there is no possible moral…

José Andrés Condemns Israel For Killing Aid Workers: ‘Stop Using Food As A Weapon’

On Monday evening, Andrés confirmed that WCK lost “several of our sisters and brothers” in the Israeli attack hours earlier. The workers were traveling in a convoy of three cars ― two of which were armored vehicles branded with the charity’s logo on their roofs so…[Read more]

I eat babies all the time. (Before they’re actually babies.) IIRC, Japanese eating chicken and eggs call it Mother and Son, or something like that.

Another side note, I only recently learned that cheeseburgers are not kosher. Although this belief might depend on which flavor (err, I mean interpretation) of Judaism one adopts, it’s a violation of…[Read more]

Loving Arugula! I mean, Eruca Sativa!

No food. No water. No hospital. Aid workers targeted. And…it’s not ethnic cleansing or genocide.

Netanyahu is basically similar to Trump. Using whatever is in his power to keep from being removed and prosecuted.
