Unseen,

Hamas doesn’t distinguish between combatants and civilians in its death count. And women and children are among suicide bombers too.

And note the spike in Antisemitic incidents in one year’s time after October 7, 2023. The next year hasn’t arrived yet either so there is room for more.

Also, there are no reports of Mossad agents…[Read more]

Unseen,

Here’s something from a source that publishes criticism of Israel:

The Rise of Antisemitism and Political Violence in the U.S
https://time.com/7287941/rise-of-antisemitism-political-violence-in-united-states/

Is this lack of evidence about danger to Jews in America? You’ll want to tell that to the Jews in Boulder, CO, the Israelis in…[Read more]

World of Woo: Fibremaxxing.

Why do I constantly see the word “robust” in articles about science? Are they researching or making a cup of coffee? Or both?

Jake,

He did a great job. I knew a fair amount of the history, but didn’t know the Vikings also shared the slave trade with Muslims. That would explain the Turkish coins found among Viking artifacts.

Also, he did well at describing the full extent of the horrors of Jihad.

Jake,

I am making a prediction.

Lets assume the reality of Islam is finally understood. Even by the far left. What will happen as a result of the awakening?

Easy. Muslims will be blamed. Far right will be ascendant. It will be bloody

It doesn’t have to be that way. Only the OG Muhammad is ultimately to blame. The other Mohammads merely born…[Read more]

Jake,

Are posing from a streaming service? YouTube URLs, except for Shorts usually work for me.

Unseen,

The average American Jew is far safer than the average Israeli Jew. You danced around that fact. And not all that deftly to boot.

If Jews are not safe in Ivy League Academia in America, the most educated and intellectual in society, that says something very telling about how much safety there is among the hoi-polloi. That’s no…[Read more]

Unseen,

Can anyone rationally maintain that we’d be in a worse position had meddlesome outsider politicians not decided to redraw the Middle Eastern map? On what basis?

We’d be in a different position, but not better. Christianity and Islam would still be at holy war, even without the presence of Crusaders. Both of them would still be a war w…[Read more]

Unseen,

What we need is a state for every disliked or hated minority. Nor just one for Jews, but one each for Roma (gypsies), LGBTQ, liberals, conservatives, females, etc. In other words, a complete partitioning of the world. And who better to take on the assignment than Donald Trump?

Alternatively, we could work harder on getting along with…

Reg and Fellow Unbelievers,

How the “woke right” mirrors the tactics and mindset of the postmodern left with its disregard for objective truth. Both sides prioritize narrative and performative transgression over honest persuasion or reasoned debate.

If there’s one thing that’s as irrational and nonsensical as “Woke Right,” it has to be the “Ba…[Read more]

One big problem with both Mearsheimer and Putin is they have a concept of rationality that is totally unmoored by human nature or by evidence of either history or the present.

If Man is a Aristotlean “Rational Animal” who survives by exercising rationality, then if he is doing an act that ends up self-damaging, rationality requires that he…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers,

There are some things that need adding to this video below:

For one thing, Jeffrey could have said: “Oh, I meant to mention, John Mearsheimer and myself both hate Israel with a passion, so just forget all that Adam Smith rot about the benefits of trade and global…[Read more]

Reg,

Are you sure Walter isn’t dipping into his own prescription there? The less strung-out would just use fly paper or trap them in jugs of sugar water.

Strega,

I meant to add as punctuation: All this fine mess is ultimately what Hamas hath wraught. Lots of IDF members would much rather be planting a tree or building a gazebo addition.

Strega,

Whoever would want Gaza would have their work cut out for them. It wouldn’t be like The Donald’s glitzy, shiny AI prospectus.

First, they would have to clear out all the unexploded ordinance. That would include both all the ordinance in the tunnels and all the ordinance on the surface, conventional, plus Chemical, Biological, and maybe…[Read more]

Reg,

7 good reasons why we shouldn’t free Palestine.

I agree that a Gaza or West Bank ran by Islamists like Hamas is unacceptable. But I am equally not sure if anything beyond destroying Hamas is a good idea, such as Netanyahu’s proposal to take-over and hand it over to another Arab regime.

Doesn’t this assume there is an Arab regime t…[Read more]

Reg,

That useless and possibly dangerous “Therapist” obviously has to be from Great Britain or some other Romper Room where they don’t trust plain folks carrying pocket knives or other edged thingies to cut ropes or any piece of hardware that could block railroad tracks.

Strega,

Don’t feel bad for the fly or the mouse. They would kill you first with the diseases they carry.

As for the bat, build him a house separate from human abodes. He’ll eat the flys and other bugs too.

Reg,

Charlie Chaplin forgot that Hitler and his minions thought “The Kingdom of Heaven” was with them too. And democracies can choose tyranny too.
