The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

not all of the protesters are chanting for the death of Israel.

Right. They’re wearing keffiyehs and assaulting Jews because it’s cold outside.

You don't get to ignore an obvious fact: Biden has a point, Palestinian women and children are starving and dying and some people don't want to acknowledge their suffering.

Tell me you don’t know what’s going on in Gaza without telling me you don’t don’t know what’s going on in Gaza.

Hamas owns this. They started it, they’re using hospitals to launch attacks and store weapons in, and as far as food goes:

jns.org - Hamas steals food from its citizens yet israel gets blamed.

Hamas deliberately prevents needy Gazans from accessing humanitarian aid. They distribute to themselves, then sell the rest on the black market. One Gaza resident told The Media Line, “[The aid] goes to the gangs. Hamas controls 70% of it, and the rest goes to merchants who sell it in the market. We do not receive aid except for a few things on rare occasions. The rest is for Hamas, and the merchants belong to Hamas. The prices are very high, and we cannot buy it.”

Anyone who styles himself a sophisticate on these matters ought to be aware enough that Hamas IS PERFECTLY HAPPY to starve Gazans because they know that…the uninformed…will run to the nearest keyboard and proclaim How Awful Things Are.

Hamas

Good. Maybe you are in fact paying a little bit of attention.
