The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: And there it is. Only took a little prodding to get another Hamas supporter out of the closet and into the open.

Your reading skills are dismal. There's nothing there supporting Hamas. Pointing out that there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza is not support for Hamas.

Dope1: First, your argument sucks. Why aren't you calling for Hamas to return the hostages and surrender themselves and their leadership?

Because the subject of your thread is a "temporary halt to arms sales to Israel". If you'd like to discuss hostages and Hamas leadership, introduce the topics.

Dope: Secondly, according to your "logic", I guess all those kids and the music festival and the babies they murdered had it coming.

Nice strawman. That isn't my "logic" and I never said anything like that, ever.

We've discussed and condemned the murders of the Israelis at the music festival but let me redirect your "logic" back at you: you seem to be advocating for the ongoing starvation and murder of innocent children in revenge of music festival murders and the terrorist strike against Israel.

You're critical of the Biden administration reportedly placing a temporary halt on arms sales to Israel but no where in the article does it imply that president Biden would not defend Israel from additional attacks. And as we saw, the United States was instrumental in protecting Israel during the Iranian retaliatory strike.

Biden has repeatedly said that he will stand with Israel. But with reportedly over 13,000 children killed in Gaza and over one million people there — half the population — without enough food this is a worsening crisis. In light of all that we've witnessed, there's nothing inconsistent about being pro-Israel and against starving and dying children in Gaza.

But enlighten us all, how many starving and dead Palestinian children are enough for the now neocon, globalist Trump Cult?
