@Reg – I can view the link, but there’s no “youtube” image on the AZ page.

No

Will it work if you Share it?  https://youtube.com/shorts/lVpaaTCAetw?si=_gv1RpU3rNqNubvC

Why won’t this display? Any ideas?

Reg and Jake,

Both of you are absolutely on fire for Israel! In fact, I think Reg is actually giving Jake a challenge on who can be the bigger Zionist!

“Professor Gaia Evergreen-Jones, PhD and Chair of Intersectional Resistance at the University of Moral Superiority.”. That was some gut-busting funny art imitating cringy, absurd life! 🤡😄

Reg and Jake,

Not only is Hamas still around, but on last check, still hasn’t released all the remains of the dead hostages. And Hamas still upholds Islam as it’s ideology, including it’s war with the rest of humanity. And there are a total of 20 points to the Peace Plan where anything could go wrong and Trump still is under the delusion that…[Read more]

The “cafeteria Christian” picks and chooses what to believe. The problem is that there is actual scripture.

The problem is, there’s “something for everyone” in the scripture.  God is both vengeful and merciful.  Now, in real life, that is what is required to enforce proper behaviour.  It’s just that some people love the “venge…[Read more]

Simon, with the introduction of ‘a personal relationship with Jesus’ concept, no two Christians have the same set of strongly held views – your post seems to imply that it’s a set based on the religion, rather than on the individual’s pick-and-choose approach to what God wants 🙂

I think there’s more to it than that.  Religious people usually have a strong “conscience” – whether that means humble self-guidance on one hand, or entitled, authoritarian meddling in the affairs of the rest of us, on the other extreme.  They have strongly h…[Read more]

Bondi managed to get through her hearing without answering any substantive question, the list being detailed by Adam Schiff:

Jake,

I couldn’t afford anything that would slake Trump’s appetites or anything on Qatar’s entries in Trump’s gift registry. My thought was more along the lines using Amendment 25 on Trump, then wash, rinse, and repeat with Vance and the entire Cabinet until MAGA is completely out.

I know it’s about like political homeopathy, but a guy can dream, right?

Fellow Unbelievers,

As if things couldn’t get worse, Trump is now committing the U.S. to defending a key supporter of Islamist propaganda and terrorism:

Trump signs an executive order vowing to defend Qatar in the wake of Israel’s strike

PopeBeanie,

The stakes are even higher. The Jerusalem Post article I cited said that the Measles rate in Israel due to the methodology of accounting used could be much greater that 1700 and could be as much as 5000.

In a nation the size of New Jersey with a population of around 9,842,000, that could be even more devastating. And since there…[Read more]

Reg and Jake,

Thank you both for your uncomforting but forthright answers.

In this situation, the old stereotype saw of “Two Jews, three viewpoints” could easily mean “Two Jews, no viewpoint” if they both die from not being immunized.

Pictures of children afflicted by Measles and descriptions of the disease and its effects are…[Read more]

Jake,

As a fellow Israel supporter, I gotta ask a Seinfeldian question, though very seriously and completely out concern for the safety and survival of Israelis:

“What’s Up With That?”

Over 1,700 cases of measles diagnosed in Israel
The areas currently defined as outbreak zones are Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, Bnei Brak, Harish, Modi’in Illit, N…[Read more]

Jake,

Links have been doing that lately, especially if they are to magazines. Reg might be of assistance here.

I don’t normally read National Review, but they were the ones to originally break the Jay Jones story that the other news outlets cited. National Review also is very good about veering away from dignifying the looney conspiratorial…[Read more]

Reg,

An excellent history lesson on real occupied lands as well as the history of Israel’s 77 years of dealing with a hostile armored Welcome Wagon…but do be careful dealing with random street people of unknown intentions, especially masked people wearing the trademark insignia clothing of global intifada with matching flags.

Keep all involved…[Read more]
