Israel position you mentioned is not really what other media is reporting. I note all leftist media repeat that unvaccinated are killing the vaccinated.

Now, the effects of waning immunity may be beginning to show in Israelis vaccinated in early winter; a preprint published last month by physician Tal Patalon and colleagues at KSM, the research arm of MHS, found that protection from COVID-19 infection during June and July dropped in proportion to the length of time since an individual was vaccinated. People vaccinated in January had a 2.26 times greater risk for a breakthrough infection than those vaccinated in April. (Potential confounders include the fact that the very oldest Israelis, with the weakest immune systems, were vaccinated first.

What is clear is that “breakthrough” cases are not the rare events the term implies. As of 15 August, 514 Israelis were hospitalized with severe or critical COVID-19, a 31% increase from just 4 days earlier. Of the 514, 59% were fully vaccinated. Of the vaccinated, 87% were 60 or older. “There are so many breakthrough infections that they dominate and most of the hospitalized patients are actually vaccinated,” says Uri Shalit, a bioinformatician at the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) who has consulted on COVID-19 for the government. “One of the big stories from Israel [is]: ‘Vaccines work, but not well enough.’”
Are we not saying the same thing? The fact in all of these data is that the vaccines do not guarantee ultimate protection from the virus. So when gvernment try to mandate it on people, it create suspicion in people's mind.

Apple, appears you like to sit on the fence and watch both sides and analyse things. The time has come for all to declare for good or evil. If you sit on the fence and don't condemn what's wrong, you will be taken as one of the evil lot. It takes courage to stand for what is right these days - even when you're an imperfect human.
If you have been on this thread for long, you would have known my type of person. I stand for truth and the truth only. I only sit on the fence when people argue about Dems and GOP who is better. To me, the parties are not the problem, but the people and the ideologies that run them. I will call out evil if I see it, and praise good if I see, no matter whose horse is gored.

we need to ask ourselves sometimes....if our mothers aborted us, would will be here arguing for abortion? Except where the life of a mother is threatened, or in a situation of rape, abortion I see no reason why someone should abort a life on the inside. It makes no sense.

There's a post here I started abortion ban is fear of declining white population than it's religious but again, why will same people trying to protect their base not see need to protect them from COVID-19 too? does it make sense they are having high death rates in their states yet they are on about stopping decline in population, death rates are higher than birth rates and they don't see the problem?
If they are having higher death rates than birth rates in their states, and decided to ban abortion as a way of prepping up the birth rates, I don't see how that correlate with their actions or inactions towards Covid-19.

Yes, I understand your drift but come to think of it, has the so-called vaccine been very effective? Many people who have been vaccinated are turning up everywhere contacting the virus again and again. Israel has given its population three shots already but the virus keep affecting and killing people. These are facts people see and they get fed up with the whole process. I'm not in support for nor against any control measures states takes to protect their people, or should have taken to protect their people from the virus. The fact remains that before Covid-19, the white population was already dwindling and I believe that banning abortion is one attempt they are making to steer the rides. One thing I have noticed is that people are becoming more resistant to being vaccinated as states try to force mandatory vaccination because the results have not been encouraging. When people are discouraged and refusive, there is little the states can do, especially those that fears public unrest. Nevertheless, how they chose to act towards Covid-19 is their own cup of tea.

Ya know abortion isa used to keep tha black population down. Black do it more than white. They replace whites and black witha Afghans and tha Latin americans
All races do abortion, and the rate for blacks is high too. But there is one notable difference between the races. On average, a black family tend to have more children than a white family (the African mentality never died grin). The chances that one African woman who decided to have kids would have up to three or four are higher than for a white woman who decided to have kids but just one or two. Can you see the difference? This is the reason the black population isn't declining despite their high rate of abortion why white children under the age of 15 are already A MINORITY in their group. Shocking, right?

So all things being equal, abortion is more detrimental to the white race than for blacks.

Trump was definitely up against the Deep State. The rulers of the darkness of this world. Spiritual wickedness in high places.

The forces of good and evil are at work in the US right now guys. Only the strong supported by the almighty God will triumph. Who is on the Lord’s side ?
Trump is no saint either, but he has done his part. The Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin. Whichever way the powers-that-be chose to toss the coin, it helps to achieve a part of the grand endgame. But you know, many who think they're elightened don't believe in elitism, so when folks like us bring this to the table, they tag us conspiracy theorist nuts. Whatever it is, the move is on and the game seem to be prospering towards the targeted objective.

As I type, the condition of Old Joe is getting worse, honest to God, between him and Buhari, I don't even know which make better sense. The formal can't even remember the names of places he has been to anymore, he struggled to even remember the name of Mitt Romney recently. Many times, he can't even answer simple direct questions from journalists, and it has become a habit as such that his staffs are cutting him off while on air so he doesn't speak out of tune. There was a recent example where he was answering questions, he finished by saying, "...and I'll do whatsoever else you want me to do Nance." It was so glaring that someone was telling him what exactly to say, but you will never see any of this on MSM. Joe should be in an elderly house, but the elites don't care. They need him to play the puppet...to pave the way for the real candidate whom otherwise could never have been 'president' in a direct election. I feel honestly sorry for the man. But again, many in here are too politically biased to admit it.

Whatever, some of you so-called Trumptards can get Rick Ross to add some fire rap lyrics to this masterpiece that was banned recently by Facebook. If American foreign policy was a mess under Trump, its promising to become a catastrophic disaster under Biden.

P.S. It's amusing to see how General Flynn was labeled a traitor for talking with the Russians but Milley is a hero for calling the Chinese. Putin must be smiling watching America implode inwardly. cool

Alabama recorded more deaths than birth in 2020, maybe we can blame it on abortion.

Sometimes I don't understand some of you guys on this thread.

You mentioned Alabama recording more death than birth in 2020, but you still want to make excuses for Texas banning abortion as it happened? Can't you see the big picture?

The big picture here is that the white population in America is declining faster than even predicted. If the current trend goes unchecked, it's only a matter of few decades the average white population would be rubbing the minority shoulders with other races in the United States of Abortion cool. Heck, that's one reality the typical white supremacists does not want to see. There is more to this abortion law than meet the eye. Unfortunately, most of you great keyboard analysts are just arguing across party lines and ingrained religious sentiment. Believe me, the Texas law is just a seed planted by the white elite to test the populace reaction and see how it goes as they scramble for how to preserve their race dominance. If this project succeed, watch how it would spread to other states like fire. Then it would become clearer that there is more to this than is being said.

Well, it's just my two Kobo contribution though... cool

So much for "Freedom of speech"in America. Facebook is unveiling itself as a politically biased tech giant acting according to a scripted specific political ideology. If this was against Trump or some African leader, the Facebook algorithm would have recommended it to millions of people, and every major news Network in America would be airing it. This just goes to show that Orwellian state of censorship is here.

US foreign policy vis-a-vis Afghan and the Middle East is one of complete failure where it intended to save face, sheer wickedness where it claims to be doing good, and murderous backstabbing where it supposed to please long standing allies and helpers. With Trump, the situation is a bit predictable, howbeit abysmal, but with "Blinden," it is a horror show that continue to shock even the devil himself.

In the southern flanks of Syria, US forces are stealing and selling off Syrian oil in the pretence of "guiding" Syrian oil Wells--the property of a sovereign country that did not invite them. If it's Russia that's doing this, the entire Lucifer baptised MSM would be screaming blue murder.

France just recalled it's envoys from Washington and Australia following the backstabbing deal initiated by the US and Britain to supply the Aussies with nuclear-powered submarines, pushing Australia to cancel the mega billion contract they had with France to supply 12 submarines. If it was Trump or Russia that did this, it would have been hourly breaking news on CNN, BBSin, and on the front pages of the mammy-water run NY Times. But since it's America under a Democrat president who can't even remember where he is at a time, they're trying to water it down. But thank God, they can't keep this charade for long, their evil deeds is being laid bare for all to see.

If not for the immediate investigative response of independent media sources in Afghanistan that spook the world that the said drone strike killed innocent people, not an ISIS-k target as claimed by America, nobody would have known how heinous that strike was. I have said it before and will say it again, if God will not judge America with nuear fire, He will have to apologise to Sodom and Gomorrah. Unfortunately for them, God wouldn't be doing any apologies because judgement day is coming. Soon there would be an implosion and the great American evil empire will burn. They all do.

As for the rest of those that sees America as a worthy ally, well, what happened to that family and France is just a glimpse into what they'd get when they chose to go to bed with a backstabbing bitchh like the United States of Abomination, Abomicity and Abomilocal government. cool The end always justifies the means. cool

FYI, Taliban sent a delegate to Moscow to assure the Kremlin that it will never in any way hurt Russia interest let alone encroaching into it's territory.

Look at Iraq, Libya, and Syria (covert invasion), they're all in ruins, thanks to US gunboat diplomacy.

The current state of Afghanistan simply demonstrate US foreign policy failure.

So chill, do you know how effective Israel iron dome is until it was put to test? It wasn't even hype until we start seeing it in action.

Israel is currently working on a laser missile defense system, so every country have their priority and will only show you what they want you to see.
US technology is the best...only in NUMBERS.

I disagree with that though. Israel's arrow3 missile system can shoot out moving satellites at excess of 2500km. It is jointly funded by US and Israel. Problem is Isreal has refused to disclose its source codes making it difficult for America to integrate those systems into her defense system.
They are still playing catchup. Take for instance, the US and it's western allies are scampering to develop hypersonic missiles while Russia already fields them in various types.

My brother, the Russian rocket forces is the boys to beat currently.

Israeli jet was shot down already nah. Why do you think they are now hiding behind large crosectional radar (in a lay man's language, persengers airplane) to fire long range missile ilegally from Lebanese airspace into Syrian? They started doing this ever since that Israeli Jet was shut down on Syrian Golan Heights territory.
Of course, but the scenario now is quite different from what it used to be. Then, it was just Syria who has to deal with the threats. But now, Russia for the first time has apportioned some of its own armaments used by it's military to the Syrians, and the effect was immediate. For the first time since the Israeli forays, the BUK 2 system used by the Russian army was employed against an enemy threat and it downs 98% of the missiles fired by the IDF planes. That is a HUGE game changer. Believe me, nobody wants to go up against the Russians in the sky over Syria. The Turks knows this, the Americans knows it, and Israel probably knew it long ago. I won't be surprised to see Netanyahoo resuming his frantic trips to Moscow to make sure the bear isn't antagonized further. The last thing the IDF wants now is to be on the opposite end against Russia in the Syrian conflict. It would be a catastrophic miscalculation.
