Gaza was not occupied. There were zero Israelis in Gaza. But everyone reading this knows Democrats who have casually referred to it as ‘occupied’ despite the fact that this is the opposite of the truth.
Stop being so casual about people lying directly to your face. Call them a piece of shit. That’s the way out of this.

Mitt Romney marched with BLM which is a terrorist organization. Why? Because Mitt Romney is a piece of shit. Joe Biden supports BLM. Why? Because Joe Biden is a piece of shit. Nancy Pelosi posed on a magazine cover with Ilhan Omar. Why? Because Nancy Pelosi is a piece of shit. Stop letting these people, who have coddled the barbarians amongst us, get away with it.
But, I think you are very ungenerous. Do you really think Mitt Romney and most of the marchers would participate in a terrorist organization? Have you ever put yourself in another persons shoes? Do you know anything about history - and I mean this seriously. We were all snowed by the BLM organization - where has the money gone? Apparently, no accountability.
History and why things happen is very COMPLEX. I am 100 percent with Israel but we didn’t know about BLM. We do now, and I hope there will be an investigation. A major scandal for sure.
Also, they ARE terrorists Oxford Dictionary definition “The use of violent action in order to achieve politcal aims or to force a government to act”
Most politicians follow the cultural trends (especially those on the left) without actually really understanding the facts. It's quite alarming since it has infiltrated our universities..
Gaza was occupied up until 2005. Israel has since maintained a strict blockade of the region, policing anything and anyone which travels in or out of the strip.
Only Nazis refer to ‘having Jews living in your neighborhood’ as an occupation. There also is not a blockade. Screening for weapons shipments is not a blockade. The only government engaging in apartheid is the Nazi government of ‘Palestine’.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. The IDF administered the Gaza Strip until 1993, before it was handed over to the Palestinian Authority. It didn’t withdraw its military completely until 2005. If having the military of a foreign, enemy country stationed in your own doesn’t constitute as an “occupation” I don’t know what does.
Even if “screening for weapons shipments” was all that Israel did vis a vis Gaza that would definitionally still count as a blockade. But that is not all that Israel does. In 2009, Israel with the help of Egypt prohibited Gaza to import steel, cement, glass, and wood, all of which are required for construction and rebuilding infrastructure destroyed by Israeli bombing. In 2010, Israeli security personnel at times prohibited Gaza from importing items such as books, candles, crayons, wheelchairs, soccer balls, paper, lentils, tomato paste, and livestock. In 2010, the Israeli government confirmed that items which would not be allowed into the Gaza Strip include canned fruit, coriander, chocolate, and shoes. In 2012, Israel released a study about the blockade after being pressured by humanitarian groups. The study calculated that a minimum of 106 truckloads of supplies were needed by Gaza every day to ensure that a humanitarian crisis did not occur. However, at the time of the study, only an average of 67 truckloads were being permitted to enter everyday. Before the blockade was implemented, 400 truckloads were imported by Gaza each day. As a result, the Gaza Strip suffers from tremendous rates of malnutrition, and has the highest rate of anemia in the Middle East according to the UN.
You should actually have an idea of what is that you’re discussing before you go off spouting demonstrably false screeds about how Palestine is the real apartheid state and how you’re a Nazi if you don’t want foreign soldiers stationed in your country.
Thousands of Gazans enter Israel daily to work. Please listen to the interview Bari did with Michael Oren a few days ago. He talks about how Hamas limits the supplies allowed into Gaza -- not Israel -- Hamas. They want their citizens dependent on them as do Cuba, North Korea, and other communist countries.
There is a reason many items are prohibited -- anything that can be made into a weapon can and will be, and they've proven that over and over. It's too bad that Hamas' charter calls for Israel's destruction. They could be living peacefully next door as neighbors. Israel pulled out of Gaza almost 25 years ago. That's a long time! Israel evacuated thousands of its Jewish citizens (every last one) living there for no other reason than to promote peace —sadly it didn't work. And Palestinians have been offered their own neighboring country 3 times (if you include when Israel was founded). They didn't want it. Americans always want to give moral equivalence to others. I get it because I do too, but long ago I learned that not all cultures are like ours and not everyone has the same moral makeup or wants to live peacefully.
And btw, why is it that Jewish people can't live in any other Arabic country, but there are millions of Arabs living in Israel?
It is not the military of an enemy country. Palestine isn’t a country. They are Nazi invaders who are squatting on Israeli land and leeching welfare.
Whatever percentage of ‘Palestinians’ happen to be nice people who actually don’t think Jews should be exterminated does not matter any more than it mattered how many Germans didn’t really support Nazism.
The IDF is the military of Israel, and Israel is a country which is an enemy of Palestine.
In 1896 the population of Palestine/Israel was less than 2% Jewish. In 1840 only 9,000 Jews lived in Palestine compared to over a quarter million Arabs. The Jews are the invaders.
Gaza and the West Bank also don’t benefit from Israeli welfare programs. In fact, as part of the Oslo Accords, Israel manages the West Bank’s tax collection, and has actually withheld millions of dollars worth of tax revenue from the West Bank, effectively robbing Palestinian citizens. In 2022, Israel gave loans to the Palestinian Authority to prevent a Hamas takeover in the West Bank, but this money did not reach the common citizen.
It seems that you think you can simply throw truth out the window so long as your opponents are Nazis. Do you get to fellate your local rabbi as a reward for spreading your asinine lies?
That's not what I'm saying at all. You said that Palestinians are "Nazi invaders who are squatting on Israeli land and leeching welfare", and I explained how Palestinians do not leech welfare from Israelis, as no such program exists, and how in actuality, Israelis leech off of Palestinians, despite being far better off to begin with. I'm running out of reasons to not think that you are clinically retarded.
I'm not sure about the "piece of s#!t" expression but I'm convinced that you're 100% correct about the necessity for individual Americans to consciously draw a line of rational moral demarcation between themselves and what is, in my view MPI (Mass Psychogenic Illness). Most of what transpires on Substack, by both journalists and in comment sections, is an attempt at maintaining a grasp on the truth/fact based reality Americans deserve. Many of the "woke" are obviously damaged, pitiable individuals. The political/financial/faux intellectuals exploiting them are literally monsters.
My frequent use of the word psyop stems from my belief that consciously or unconsciously there is a "system" in place to willingly dismantle the Republic. And the Republic and the Constitution, patriotism aside, seems to represent the citizens only refuge and human moral high ground. The main purpose of the psyop is to talk over the top of and prevent the national American conversation we need to put workable solutions on the table. Our fight, to maintain American freedom and individuality is against the visionless 20th Century A-Bomb retrogrades now engaging in their last looting spree before the new world consciousness makes them obsolete. Having gutted and looted America Schwab, Soros, darling Jamie Dimon (sounds like a bail bondsman), the Davos/DNC/CCP Clinton surveillance crowd must capture and control the new tech to survive. As in 20th Century Maoist China, Hitler's Germany and Stalinist Russia, per C.G Jung: the lethal combination of hubris and avaricious megalomaniacal narcissism (I am the God/King) and ideological utopianism (I'm the "woke" moral arbiter of all things human) The unique poison in our mix is the anti-human sterility of modern empirical science (gain of function for your own good Fauci).
The Hamas attack was the definition of horror and a wake-up call to both Jews and anyone not straight jacketed by the "woke" menticide being exploited by the self-interested professional trolls of the P.C. university, MSM, D.C. hog trough. Jews are rightful sounding the alarm. The Hillary Clinton "some people need re-education" statement is beyond Orwellian. Six million Jews were murdered in WWII. It would serve us well to remember that another six million of the "politically incorrect" died along side them.
I've gotten so sick of hearing this over the last few days as well. The only Israeli actions in Gaza in the last 15 years have been retaliatory airstrikes for Hamas missiles, and these have been limited. Gaza has been politically independent for that whole time. The "country" is utterly dependent on Israeli food, water, and power, and Israel proper is largely closed to them -- if Mexicans were intend on genocide against Americans we would close our border too. (Well, maybe not, since Western elite self-loathing seems boundless.)
However, Egypt is welcome to supply their Muslim brothers in Gaza with whatever they need. They could even provide safe passage for civilians. They won't, since dead Gazans are more politically useful than 2M Gazan refugees on Egyptian soil.
I am a Democrat. But I am not a "leftie." I am moderate and (I believe) sensible. I used to think I was progressive until the progressive side of my party became totally insane and ridiculous and clearly NOT progressive. In all honesty, I don't trust either party since I think both sides are simply in want of power and not what's best for the country.
Right on, KD! All pieces of shit. When seeing these celebratory pro-Hamas rallies in Times Sq and around the country and world cheering on the beheading of babies and gunning down concert goers in cold blood -- I think to myself how much I’d like to be there with a machine gun and giving them their own medicine.
You’re smart and tend to make a lot of good points. But ultimately I’m not on board with the level of vitriol that you often bring to the conversation, and frankly, I don’t understand it. I wish I knew what happened to you on a personal level to feel the need to engage with people in the way you do. And I don’t think calling people names will solve anything. Maybe this was all hyperbole, and you mean something else, I don’t know.
The vitriol could be a reaction to, and rejection of, the seductive, manipulative, empathy-laden, faux-intellectual, platitudes that left-wing psychopaths have used over the years to drag us into this steadily worsening and predictable hellscape.
I get you. I get angry too. And I’m not a pacifist, btw. But I just don’t know how personal attacks or wholesale violence (whether metaphorical and oratory or literal) against any one people block isn’t catering to the same (or similar) disgusting, dangerous, and hypocritical behavior that I assume you condemn on the left. I feel like what must make us different is regard for humanity and intelligence. You (and some others here) have both of those and could wield them more efficiently than mud-slinging. I’ve done it too and direct this criticism at my own self here also.
In terms of the efficacy of mudslinging, it is worth noting that there is nothing worse than being a racist and Democrats have accrued all of the power they have by calling people racists.
The list of piece of shit politicians is a long one...you mentioned the sentiment of not blaming criminals so much for their crimes as the ones who enable them and with corrupt politicians I feel the same thing. I don't despise the pols as much as I do the piece of shits in the mainstream media who let them get away with the bullshit.

I, and many others, were never "snowed" by BLM. Skepticism is a necessary quiver in one's pouch.
This is why I like Kevin Durant!
Where's compro?
He's probably busy sending off his monthly donation to Hamas.
Dems may NOT know that Gaza has no Jews and is independent. Don't underestimate their stupidity.

Do you have any other petty and likely fabricated grievances you’d like to add to your robust defense of Nazism?
That's not what I'm saying at all.

When presented with a list of complaints by Nazis, a retarded person might say
“Oh these are some good arguments I’ll use these. What else can I do to help?”
While I am not retarded myself, I am still offended by your dismissive attitude towards diverse ways of knowing.
