To be fair neither do I, also the sources are all Palestinian so lol. Just wondering when the Israelis are going to find a way to actually do the effective thing and stop letting the Gaza tumor tank their reputation with the rest of the world.
tldr Israel's international reputation has been worse with worse circumstances and it came out ahead alright, nowadays israel is too economically central and manufactures so much unique electronics that not even Ireland can boycott it completely.
 
I was looking at the history of the seat in TN to see if the spread could tell us anything and I noticed something interesting.

fastest route from north America to Europe

Why arc now?
Take a globe.

Trace the fastest route from America to Europe on the globe. Fairly easy, looks like a straight line.

Peel it like an orange.

Flatten the "peel" onto a table.

We call this a map.

You'll notice that it doesn't flatten very well. So we have to do some weird shit. Either we pinch areas, or stretch others, or slice lines into the peel to get it to lay flat.

We call this a Map Projection.

Now look at that straight line you drew earlier between America and Europe.

It's now curved.

This is because aliens snuck into your house while you were looking at that XKCD comic and changed the line to be curved instead of straight.

The truth is out there.
 
Looks like the IDF is getting shoah’ed again

Those "Readers" are the type who probably either never heard Vietnam veterans talk about how the Viet Kong sent children as young as 5 to run up to American soldiers carrying hand grenades (blowing themselves up to also kill Americans), or didn't believe them.

Walk into a warzone with guns (real or fake), expect to be treated as a combatant. They're not checking ID's.

If this is what happened, of course it's justified, but we don't know how it went down. It could have been just a couple of kids out playing and accidentally crossed some line they shouldn't have crossed. Israel isn't trustworthy after some of the shit they've pulled before. Need a bit more information.

lol can we please just criticize them for the actual scummy shit they do instead of assuming they just say "oh lol hey look kids OPEN FIRE, RABBI!"?

My father who was a Korean war vet and did the full tour as well as survived the Chosin reservoir campaign used to have the most bizzare stories of the shit he ran up against. He would tell me how they would regularly go up against battalions of 10 and 11 year old kids that the Chinese would stick into combat. I'd say, "Dad - that's rough. You killed kids?" and he'd counter with, "What the fuck did you want me to do? They were shooting at us!"

He also talked about one time going up against a horde of monkeys that the Chinese trained to throw hand grenades and then unleashed on his platoon. Throwing grenades from up in the trees.

The shit asians do to try to win a war goes beyond the pale.

Of course if those stories are true about the Navy using dolphins to plant bombs on boats, then we have our moments, too.

That race got so hyped up by polling again and from the numbers it looks like they never had a chance to begin with, you're not flipping like 16000 voters in one special election. CBS/AP put the spending at $1.6m for republicans and $1m for democrats which is retarded looking at the outcome.

At what point do people stop falling for polls?

People have dooming because Republicans won a red congressional district by less of an overwhelming margin than before because it got completely redistricted to include part of a blue city?
