  1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Buenos_Aires_Israeli_embassy_bombing March 17 1992, another act of freedom fighting.
  2. The Nakhba was a consequence of Jihad, there was a solution for a Arab state and Jewish state in 1920, they chose the genocide route, the chief architect Al Husseini was deep with Adolf Hitler and Himmler including plans to kill jews in the holy land. One doesn't get to call for extermination of all Jews by getting into bed with the Nazi's then try a genocide which the plans started as far back as 1895, then get to call yourself a victim. They were expelled from the Jewish territory because maybe they just tried to kill them. If this is the standard then when the Allies and Red Army were closing in on Berlin, millions of Germans were displaced starving should be seen as a great atrocity. If the Jews did not resist, our entire people would have been written out of history, nobody would have felt sorry for us. Is it unfortunate yes, was it self inflicted yes, Rashid Rida in 1895 wrote addressing his people the Ottomans "politically recatagorised Palastinians post 1920" as Complacent non entities who were pathetic enough to let people fleeing communism settle and become more powerful than them 1967 was offered peace, it was spat in our faces, why? because when people tell you what they want unequivocally, you need to believe it. River to sea is not a nursery rhyme, it is a objective. this is why liberal media in the west will not show the footage of IDF troops going into homes finding Anti Semetic propaganda material, things that depict Jews as sub human and being the duty to kill, it is not isolated either, it is wide spread. The Islamic story about the jews hiding behind trees that will tell the Arab that there is a Jew behind them, except for a certain tree that is the tree of the Jew that will not. It is very hard to reconcile with people who want to kill you based on a complete misconception of their own history. As a Jewish person I would have liked it, but it is wishful thinking. I would Rather America just comes and takes over, then it can be their problem. I agree that Germans eventually moved on when the wall came down, and despite the atrocities of the Nazi's that included 14000 Jews per day amongst other ethic groups including gypsies and communists, that said the germans tried to hide their crimes, many committed suicide with what they did, on 7 October tik toks were made home videos showing the depravity, they were unapologetically happy and people in Gaza were celebrating with some in the west that decided to sing "gas the jews". We have a saying particularly from those that survived the Camps that we must turn the other cheek, the Arabs then came up with the saying that when the Jew turns the cheek it makes it easier to cut their heads off. To forgive is divine which seems to be the never ending story for our people, 17 different empires and colonists murdered, exiled and displaced us, you can forgive us for being sceptical.
  3. Fair enough, without looking at the low hanging fruits of 2 or 3 year drivers, Ricciardo, Magnussen, Hulkenberg, Tsunodo, Gasly haven't done much overall, Stroll should be the first out though.
  4. I saw Ralf Schumacher complaining about Alonso preventing younger drivers getting into F1, that from a Man who was worse than Stroll by the time he was dumped out. Alonso is so good he earns his right to be in F1 there are other drivers that do not deserve to be in F1 that should be dumped out, Lance Stroll is one such driver, Gasly and Ocon are not far behind.
  5. Amin Al Husseini, Izz Al Qassam were all interested in a Jewish final solution long before Adolf Hitler came along, it was just coincidence that the Nazi's and the Mufti's of the former Ottoman empire had commonality in eradicating Jews. The fact that Israel is expected to live with this when nobody else will is the problem. There is nothing you can give them that will lead to peace, to them this is a holy war predicated on shame and embarrassment and islamic caliphate revivalism. Al husseini, A Qassam, Rashid Rida all pillars of modern Hamas ideology all terrible people. What is fought for today is not for Palastine, it is a Jihad against Jewish nationalism, something the neighbouring Arab states are no longer at contention with. Palastine only came to contemporary use after the fall of the Ottoman empire following world war 2 and the Young Turk revolution, in the Ottoman empire there was no Palastine, palastine was just Jerusalem and controlled by the Ottoman elite namely a few Ottoman Arab royalty. The greater territory was controlled by Cairo, Damascus and Beirut, the Jews were barred from Jerusalem so they settled the surrounding areas. they have no nationalist identity, they are formulated and groomed under the banner of Arab Liberation/Resistance and driven by desire to kill Jews. I am rather moderate on solutions to resolve the conflict, so much so that in various forums dealing with other Jews my suggestions are considered fairy tale, most want the Gaza to be cleared and the people repatriated to Egypt and Algeria where they are mostly descendant from, a certain amount would probably be able to stay and live as Israeli's but it will not be open season at O.K Corral. The West bank is far less problematic and the Arab in the west bank is very different to the Gazans, most are more placated, there are some Islamism groups but they are nowhere near the size of Hamas. A proper solution for the west bank can be resolved one of mutual interest and mutual co-existence. The western interest in this conflict is driven by common interest, western nationality is being torn down by multiculturalism, both Islam and Marxism have a morbid hatred of Jews, it was the Tsarist expulsion, and pogroms through Europe that led to the refugees fleeing and settling in lands of historical connection which they were expelled from by previous colonials, to the socialists Jews were often wealthy and successful and therefore hated, to Islamist its a religious hatred, the two converge on that very commonality. For a real solution to be had, it is not us Jews that need to change, there are over 2 million ethnic Arabs in Israel, they are Muslim and they are Israeli nationalists, the real change is Palestinians and how they see Israeli's, if it is still the lingering on to the so called humiliation of 1882-1920 then we are not going to move on, the Nakhba should have been the moment of change where the Arabs realised that the Jews were going nowhere and sought solidarity, instead they tried again in 56, then 67 and throughout the 90's to early 2000's, the suffering they are going through is driven by their own hand, its self flagellation.
  6. This is a very worthwhile lecture that tells the story why Palastinians think like they do, it doesn't seek to villianise but create context to why they view Israel they way they do ideologically. This conflict is one that seems to be skewed by Western media that parrots Al Jazeera who are Qatari and Qatar funds Hamas and provides diplomatic immunity to Hamas leadership, they have repeatedly lied and these stories are never redacted, the Al Shifa hospital bogus story that was a Iranian rocket that malfunctioned and landed outside the hospital, one person died and a couple were injured but Al Jazeera ran a story about a destroyed hospital and 500 dead. The targeting of civilians is a complete distortion almost as distorted as the fabrication of deaths, not necessarily the number But the ratios. tablet did a piece in the absolute non coronation and variations by various sources showing how the Hamas ministry is fluffing numbers. In that article is a link done with research in Washington that shows Hamas not including dead militant males or distinguishing between how they died. Per the studies 43% of the deaths are males all of fighting age and supported by the IDFs findings in Khan Yunis where they prevented the removal of dead fighters to tag and bag then delivered over 6000 dead for mass burial, they included teenagers killed in combat along with fighting age males. The next reason why it's misreported is shown up in 1000s of hours of battle cams, Hamas have parade uniforms but in battle they wear civilian clothing and will be branded a civilian death by Hamas. To date the IDF has reported over 12000 militant deaths which puts the ratio around 1.4 civilians per fighter, of course it is tragic that civilians are dragged into a ideological war that they are going to suffer for. That said it doesn't make palastinians cause more righteous give it was predicated on genocide dating back to 1920. If and only if we can have a sit down and Palastinians can hear our story, we hear theirs then maybe just maybe we will both realise that we are both refugees or our stories intertwine. What is however true again a century later is that the Muslim world is no longer unified by Islamic ideology, it is why the 700 000 dead in Syria is dust in the wind or the Houthis causing a civil war that has seen 350000 dead and over 500000 living in famine, Sudan is cranking suffering up to 11 and Boko Haram doing the kidnapping thing again, it is all just water under the bridge. But as soon as Israel is around.....it pops. From an Israeli perspective, netenyahu is still likely to lose in the elections but his popularity has gone up again for the handling of a difficult situation. 90% of Israeli's support finishing the job, foreign support in the diaspora is also high, the Israeli left wing and right wing are not like western equivalents and that is due to Israeli nationalism, our collective history and responsiblity to ensure that we are never again victims unifies both sides, left wing and right wing fight on the battlefield for our survival, when you see soldiers, men, woman, all ethnicities, Muslims, Jews, Christians, unified under one purpose. I get that Israel is far from perfect. Damaging Hamas enough will break their ideological hold, when Germans suffered from 1943-1945 through disease and famine, they did not go back to being Nazis, palastinians should not desire a life that only promises death in the name of God who they defy anyway. One final solution will be to move the entire Gazan population to the west bank and build settlements and towns for them, hopefully as a start to solidarity. Gaza is trashed but is also not conducive to living in, Isreal should just repurpose it into a dock and industrial land, possibly a US military outpost.
  7. I agree in most part that there are better ways to resolve issues and that is with the benefit of hindsight. Was Israels response to the attrocities of Oct 7 disproportionate? No as a Jewish person it had the same numbing effect as 9/11. I woke up and heard the news and when you have family in Israel it becomes a lot more personal. Fortunately they were safe but many others were not that lucky. My grand parents as survivors of the Holocaust and the subsequent persecution under the Soviet Union, I take threats to our people pretty hard, immediately after 7/10 it was rage and anger followed by grief, lately it has come down to anxiety as I don't wear tallits or yarmulke in public due to hostility towards Jews predicated on a misconception of this entire dispute. The solutions to this 80 year problem seem elusive, however I can't see how peace is possible when ideology exists that wishes to write us out of existence. I am prepared to say that as a civilization our history will have good and bad, as a reform Jew I don't pander the same arrogance as Hassidics and the ultra orthodox nutters, that said I just want a Israel where we can be left in peace preferably before I make Aliyah.
  8. In Israel there is full support for total victory and growing support for a war with Hezbollah. War has boosted Netenyahu's popularity Pre Simchat Torah. A ceasefire is a deliberate attempt to sabotage a war against extremism, it is a means to allow the cycle to repeat itself. The only way a ceasefire will work is if Hamas leaves and that is not going to happen. As they have had 20 years to indoctrinate the populace, propaganda materials such as books that invoke anti semetism are found in homes and schools, it will take 20 years to reverse that level of melevolent hatred. The west bank is an existential threat at the most petruded point it is 9 miles from Tel Aviv leaving no depth of defence. The solution to the west bank for me is US control and military occupation, until a real palastinian government is formed. Two state has been on the table for a century, and maybe people should start listening to what they have said all along, they don't want a two state, they want the destruction of our civilization and October 7 was only a mild showing of the utter malcontent they have for us. How many times do we need to do the same song and dance before we realise that a new plan is needed. For me the only solution is a new mandate for a transitional government I would say the US and UN security council acting as overseer which if they did their job 15 years ago would have seen that Hamas were not meeting the grade, then again if the UN didn't allow membership to over 100 of its 170+ members that fail the requirements for human rights then maybe the UN wouldnt be as useless. Will see how it plays out, Hamas should as far as possible be routed out and eliminated, I'm not sure if it can be completely flushed out but it can be weakened to the point the civilian population are no longer threatened by them.
  9. Russia's problems are a lot worse. It is correct, there is another video which is 5 years old that talks about the likely fade of Russia by 2050 the population will die off with the bulk of Russians being over 35. their military is outdated and their game changers planed in the early 2000's when they hit a boom are still barely prototypes, the SU57 only 6 flying and the T14 Armata hasn't even been approved from a prototype. Ukraine need to dig in like Russia did, if they do that within a year Russia's military will be depleted. If Russia is smart, they will fortify what they have and not commit troops to death for vanity. Holding Eastern Ukraine gives Russia a good base of operations. NATO should be starting it's mobilisation now, draft conscription for basic training just in case there is a flair up
  10. I have the distinct impression that nobody is really interested in stopping the war nor incentivized to do so. The Alarming silence by the west other than moral grandstanding in an election year and the deafening silence of the middle east shows two sides of the aisle using people for gain. The bottom line is that all three Iranian proxies need dismantling for regional stability.
  11. aston martin showing some good early season pace
  12. The only thing NATO has done here is show how undersupplied they are by spending the best part of a decade selling off high ordinance stockpiles. The Ukraine war shows that Artillery and missile stockpiles should have been retained instead of selling them to potential enemies like Turkey. NATO has also missed military recruitment targets for the last decade by some margin and it is alarming given how they are mirroring the same problem Russia have with the fact that it takes 2-3 years to train up a recruit, sure you can fast track that but the quality of soldier falls off significantly. Russia's ability to mobilise is overstated, they have logistics problems a lot down to the geography of russia being very bad for logistics routes, years of inaction in expansion projects has left the 1920's lines being the same ones as today, that means one rail system in and out, when it si struck it holds up supplies which impacts the front. I don't think Russia have the capacity to roll over anyone.
  13. Putin threatening nuclear war while claiming he is not, the typical strong arming tactic when he realises the cost of taking Eastern Ukraine cost him a lot in human and mechanical resources. Russia's peak munitions supply is now and should last until 2025 after which Russia will be in a deficit, by mid 2025 Ukraine should be rearmed. I don't think Russia have the military capacity to be aggressive. This may end up grinding into a stalemate where Russia is content with to Donbas and Ukraine has the rest.
  14. I will say the news sources around Newcastle is terrible. If it's not from the usual reliable sources it's fake, there is no moderate accuracy
  15. I only say the first was better because it came with massive expectations and delivered. When people delve into game to movie, it is often a flop, resident evils (certainly after 2), Doom tend to miss the mark by a lot. Dune Part 1 stuck the landing making Dune Part 2 to already be expected to be good. It was long, I went to the 11:30 showing and got out about 14:30, granted I think it only started at 12:00.
  16. Dune: Part 2. The first movie is better as it exceeded expectations and set up a good base for the sequals. part 2 is still a very good movie well worth the price of a day out at the cinema. Some subtle changes to the book but still works well. Barron Harkonnen was killed by a Gom Jabbar in the books but he is killed in a more personal way in the move that fits well. Rabban also dies in the books to fremen but in the movie they made it more personal by letting Gurrny Hallock kill him. Part 3 is set up well for a galactic civil war
  17. According to who? I have not read of a civil uprising although This vlog does go into detail on the rise of nation states and the deconstruction of western liberalism with referance to Germany. I haven't of any coup DE tat in Germany and the AFD seem to have momentum for populist vote. If we use the ideological subversion implantation that Russia infected the west with, I would say we are in stage 2 of that 4; demoralisation, destabilization is achieved civic nationalism is destroyed, nationhood is destroyed and moral norms are perversed. All that is left is crisis then normalisation.
  18. Fascism is banning political opponents because they are gaining populism. Because they are nationalists is not sufficient proof of fascism. Fascism has thrived in socialistic systems, Yuri Bezmenov on his 1984 interview on ideological subversion in the first 30-40 minutes talks about fascism in Soviet Russia and how socialism only works for the connected everyone else was a dissident, a slave. In modern politics fascism is a term loosely thrown around to villianise alternative ideology. The only thing they are guilty of is espousing civic nationalism which every progressive confuses as fascism. I think for someone that did a lot of twerking for Xi the other day, I don't think you can differentiate any more.
  19. Labour had it all in the bag, wrapped up then they decided to take it as a challenge. It has become quite comical.
  20. I doubt the squad will shock anyone, it will be the standard southgate squad. He will hope that the "they play well in tournaments" players buck the trend. Gareth will also play a 3 at the back whether 3-4-3 or 5-3-2 it's inflexible
  21. Will go see Dune over the coming weekend, just had to much to do this past weekend.
  22. Possibly, he has been very average this season though and we all know that Gormless Gareth will pick the status quo.
