IDF showed Harvard faculty their film of Hamas atrocities on Oct 7 , footage from Hamas body cams included Some nasty words spoken to Harvard


Prior to the screening, Erdan spoke to the hundreds in the audience and criticized the university's conduct: "After the Hamas massacre and the silence of Harvard's leadership, it became clear that the moral threshold of Harvard is vanishingly low.
Once you see this footage, it will change the way you view the Middle East," Erdan said in introducing the film. "It will change the way you view the war in Gaza. And it will likely change the way you see your peers, who stand in solidarity with the Hamas monsters."

Criticizing Harvard, Erdan emphasized the gap between their slogans and actions regarding October 7.
"For a school that puts veritas (truth) above all, this is particularly shameful. From the university's initial silence following the attack, to its stand in silence following the pro-terror voices and the shameful response to the assault of Jewish students, Harvard has become dangerous for Jews," he said

Rather than becoming an incubator for future leaders, Harvard has, sadly, become an incubator for terrorist supporters. Harvard's indifference to Hamas' atrocities facilitated clear-cut support for Hamas on campus. But this vocal support for baby murderers spawned more than just Israel hatred, it also bred Jew hatred," Erdan continued.
Tonight will never be repeated. As you watch this video and the orders that Hamas happily carried out, understand that we are talking about a terrorist organization that sees us as insects to be exterminated, and not people. To prevent another such massacre in the future, the only option we have is to destroy Hamas."

I read a very interesting write up on quora. It says no country in the world will tolerate an enemy living next door and shooting at you and you let them be trusting in your bullet proof vest. Israel is coming late on this hamas obliteration. Russia didn't even allow Ukraine join NATO let alone keep missiles in Ukraine before attacking her.
Two state solution is no solution. If Gaza is independent today, hamas or harmers will still launch rockets from an independent state like Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthi in Yemen. Israel has a moral obligation to kill and give hamas a befitting burial.
Correct. How do you have countries shooting rockets targetting civilian areas. The rest of the world does not consider this a war crime because Iron Dome $50000 rocket head kills a Hamas rocket worth $500 dollars.
Israel should learn to live with Hamas and Hezbollah rockets because they have Iron dome. Total crap.
They should go in and flatten everything.

Needless self inflicted deaths. If there were no October 7th, there won't be 20,000 deaths. Hamas bears the blood.
The US in WWII moved from island to island routing out the Japanese army
Which was very well entrenched in fortified bunkers and Machine Guns mowing down the amphibious army landing. The US suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties in these battlezones. Final island was Japan, which would have seen far more casualties than in all those islands
So they nuked Japan, forcing a surrender and a forever 'demilitarized' Japan todate with no guts to ever start another war.In a way the atomic bombs killed a lot but also saved a lot of lives.
Trust the politicians to scream war crimes after the efforts of soldiers have given them liberty, life,love and freedom.Politicians should be never allowed to micro manage a war.They should start the war and leave it to the Generals to execute it.

Why is Israel in Gaza today looking for Hamas terrorists ? My opinion. It's because of the rest of the world. They stopped Israel invasion in 2014 by forcing a ceasefire which Hamas never intended to keep.
My opinion also. If you start a war, better put on uniforms and come out fighting. Stop relying on the global goodwill for sympathy when your adverseries strike back. The world esp UN and EU should stop dictating terms of war. Dresden was bombed because it was a factory rich zone producing German war equipment. Hamas hides under civilians. For once the world should demand Israel annihilates Hamas , it's tunnels and command centres. Where Hamas includes each and every civilian who supports them.
Calling for a ceasefire now means leaving Hamas terror infrastructure intact. Let Israel destroy every weapons factory, every tunnel, every weapon and every terrorist. It should be upto the Palestinians who don't want their 72 virgins to be on one side and help IDF rout out the terrorists.

Democrats. Four states will only have Joe Biden in their primaries.North Carolina, Tennessee, Massachusetts and Florida. No alternative option to be provided as is the norm.
Ostensibly this action is to " protect our democracy" by selecting the nominee.
The Colorado ruling will also " save democracy" by not having Trump on the ballot. Atround 25 states have democrat led efforts to save democracy by removing Trump from the ballots.

Democrats also changed rules at the DNC convention. If the nominee Joe Biden resigns after it's held, the DNC is solely responsible for his replacement. Not it's supporters.

Joe Biden campaign strategy is to call Trump a threat to democracy. This phrase is a talking point being hammered in a cordinated fashion.
Media , social media, politicians, Hollyweird, etc use this phrase over and over every waking second. As Goebbels said, " A lie repeated over and over becomes the truth'.

I hope the Supreme court does the right thing when it gets to them

At your last paragraph. I hope they also remember what he promised to do and make himself more powerful than the supreme court if he mistakenly wins another term. He said it himself recently

That will be the end of Democracy in America and the World at Large

I hope they don't make that happen
Trump got 1.36m votes against Biden 1.8m in Colorado in 2020.
Who are these four democrat judges to deny 1.36m plus voters the right to choose their candidate? They accuse him of being guilty of a charge not a single person has been indicted of.
That haughtiness can easily lead to violence
There was no insurrection, It was a fedsurrection.Simple.
Bookmark this link of two feds who broke Capitol windows but have never been arrested.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1588772998504677376.html

And just to show how partisan these judges are , the ruling is paused until Jan 4 if Trump does not appeal. If he appeals , their junk ruling has to wait for SCOTUS determination which can take years .
Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by basilico:
Obrigardo, me tire no to set you on the correct path. Here is 14th Amendment Section 3 . Note the bolded.

Section 3 of the Civil War-era 14th Amendment says: “No person shall ... hold any office, civil or military, under the United States ... who, having previously taken an oath ... as an officer of the United States ... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof


Joe Biden has allowed invasion of the states by enemies through illegal immigrations.
As such Texas Lt. General says Texas can remove Joe Biden from the ballot by virtue of giving 'aid or comfort to the enemies thereof'. DeSantis also mentioned a possibility of Florida removing Joe from the ballot.
Plus every other state can likewise do so if a single illegal immigrant is from an enemy country.
See how that stupid ruling comes to bite back Joe Biden

In other words that decision is the type a kindergarten teacher would rule.
To add further Trump nor any of his supporter has been indicted on an insurrection charge. They relied on a lower judge and the Jan 6 highly partisan committee that destroyed the evidence it collected.
Total bullshit ruling by Colorado.They even quote Trump said "fight like hell" in his speech, but omit that in the same speech he told the supporters to march peacefully.This omission can only be interpreted as meant to give democrat wankers an erection😁😁

I told you it was coming but keep playing dumb.
Don't call me dumb yet. Just state that section in full And you will realize that it affects Joe Biden very badly.

Rudy Giuliani $148m lawsuit.

. The "judge" had already ruled Rudi "GUILTY" before the trial began.
2. The "judge" ruled Rudi submitted no evidence, knowing that the DoJ had CONFISCATED all of his evidence and would not release it for his defense.
3. Several of the jurors were big Democrat supporters and had posted negative comments about Rudi on their social pages.
4. The "judge" would not allow Rudi to mount any kind of defense.
5. The two election thieves and the judge were laughing and licking their chops thinking about the Kangaroo court lottery they were about to win during the final reading of the "verdict" and the outrageous monetary award, and the only photo of Rudi shown to the jury made him look like a madman.

No. 203 sweeps Williams
At the height of the Williams boom in 1998, an unofficial game took place in Australia after Serena and Venus claimed that no male player outside the top 200 could beat them.

Up stepped a German known as Karsten Braasch who was ranked 203rd in the world and after first beating Serena 6-1, he then disposed of Venus 6-2.

"I didn't know it would be that difficult. I played shots that would have been winners on the women's circuit and he got to them very easily," said Serena.

"They wouldn't have had a chance against anyone inside the top 500 because today I played like someone ranked 600th to keep it fun," was Braasch's assessment.

The Imam Ali mosque bombing was the detonation of two car bombs outside the Shia Imam Ali Mosque in Najaf on 29 August 2003. The attack killed 95 people crowded around the mosque for Friday prayers, including Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, spiritual leader of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq.[1]

This bombing by Zarqawi father of ISIS setoff sectarian strife between the Shia and Sunni.

Old cars are not illegal in Texas. However, depending on their age and location, they may be subject to additional regulations.
In certain counties that are designated by the Texas Department of Public Safety, vehicles have to undergo mandatory annual emissions testing in addition to the regular safety inspections.
Vehicles that are 25 years or older do not need to go through emissions testing, but they still require annual safety inspections.
Vehicles registered as antiques or classics do not require either emissions testing or safety inspections. However, these vehicles have restrictions on how much they can be driven per year.
So in summary - older cars can still be driven in Texas as long as they pass inspections and comply with usage limits for antique/classic registered vehicles. Texas does not completely ban older vehicles but does impose regulatory requirements on them.
There are countries in Eastern and Central Africa that didn't have limits on vehicle year of manufacture. As such you would easily find gas guzzling 25 year olds belching on the roads They realized they could reduce the fuel import bills mainly because of dollar demand by restricting car age to 5-7 years These are more fuel efficient. The main purpose was really not pollution or climate change but to stabilize dollar reserves. A country spending a billion dollars a month on importing fuel leaves other import sectors starved of foreign currency, leading to local currencies losing against the dollar.

Nigeria is importing old cars that are banned for polluting without realising we are depopulating ourselves with the banned fumes as if our own lifes and existence are worth less in the world.
I'll make it clear. Environmental pollution and climate change are not exactly the same. Climate change is a scam because the gas being targeted is CO2. An increase in CO2 results in an increase in vegetation, the world is more greener when there is more CO2. Greenhouses esp large ones pump CO2 to increase crop production.
Environmental poliution by reducing smog and gases like Carbon Monoxide is fine with me.
Climate change was previously global warming, was previously global cooling and God knows what else
Computer models are the ones that predict changes, their predictions have all been wrong over the years.
Climate change consensus is quoted, yet those who ask for the data are never provided.
I also joked some years ago here that those big fuel American guzzlers will cost pennies by 2030 in Nigeria after they "all" switch to EV.
Some people screaming hoarse think power comes from the socket outlets.
Finally this week..
Reality in the form of 4000 dealers writing President Biden to tell him they can’t sell or give away the EVs infesting their lots, so perhaps it would be a good idea to please reign in those mandates.
EVs are not selling enough ( $50k and over ) though JB has $7.6B to setup chargers every 50 or so km along interstate highways

There are ways to ensure cleaner internal combustion engine for health purposes, an outright ban on fossils is madness.
There is no science that proves CO2 causes global warming.If they can't predict snow amount How can they predict that 1.5°C is the tipping point
