Did they change the definition of terrorist?
The clarification is even more comical.
"When I said Hamas is not a terrorist organization for us I meant the UN doesn't have them on a list of designated terrorists."
Um, yeah we get it. That doesn't make it somehow better. 😂

I seriously doubt that Hamas rules with "the consent of the people". You might also want to consider ultra-right orthodox Jews share a similar desire to eliminate their neighbors.
I e openly stated that for an eventual peaceful resolution Israel needs to do their part which includes reigning in settlers and work towards a two state solution, something the Palestinians keep rejecting in favor of continued violence.
As far as consent of the people, it's true that Hamas won control via plurality not majority, but you cannot ignore the fact that the population has allowed them to openly operate for years and provide support under the guide of opposing them (just look at how the UN reps there were "shocked" to find a base under their building or how the "journalists" were actively participating in 10/7).

With all due respect, Sherpa, you still didn’t answer my questions. I’ll post them again here:
1. Once Hamas is sufficiently “defeated,” does Israel plan on helping the Palestinians rebuild their homes and return to their normal daily lives in Gaza? And if Israel doesn’t cooperate in doing so, would you consider that a grievous problem?
2. What are Israel’s short-term and long-term plans for ensuring that the humanitarian needs (food, water, shelter, health care, etc.) of Gazans are met, particularly as they are confined in Rafah?
I’m making a strong claim that Israel is guilty of ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza, but I’m also trying to give you every opportunity to refute such a claim.
I already explained why I chose my words in a previous post. I do agree with you, however, on the importance of language precision. That is why I’m amending my “carpet bombing” phrase to a more Bidenesque “over-the-top bombing” phrase. International humanitarian organizations agree with me on the accuracy of this characterization. The IDF doesn’t, of course, but they’re not exactly impartial here.
Surely you are aware of the distinction between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism?? And while we’re playing around with labels…can I call anyone not empathetic to the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Gazans a sociopath and an Islamophobe?
I am, and you can. But it doesn't make you right.
It's war, and one not started by Israel. When most of your neighbors have the stated goal of your destruction, this can't be a surprising nor unwarranted outcome.
When you elect a government that is effectively a terrorist group and allow them to use your mosques and hospitals as staging grounds for attacks and holding centers for hostages you lose any moral high ground.

We ain't done yet here, but after a really rough start for Fani (the friend testifying that there was a romantic relationship before she hired Nathan as a special prosecutor), the smoking gun ain't there.
No photos of them sipping out of a 2-straw Pina colada in Belize. No proof that Fani didn't withdraw enough cash over time sufficient to "repay" him. No condo building neighbor to testify that they were spending the night together prior to him being retained.
I'm not buying their story, but the evidence to corroborate the friends' story just isn't there.
Pretty much this.
It's plain to see they are rotten to the core, but to prove they actually perjured themselves needs a little more than gut feelings.

Yeah NBC News said juveniles. What is that 16 and younger. Geez
I'm assuming it means under 18 in this context. Although recently people have started grouping 18 year olds in the category of "children" when reporting on certain things like victims of gun violence.

In a surprise to absolutely no one who is paying attention, it's now being initially reported that the shooters were juveniles who were having a dispute.

Interesting stat. What are the actual numbers?
About the same, but that includes suicide by firearms which are over half of total gun deaths.

But again…what does it mean to “eliminate Hamas,” exactly? Is there a list of top names whom the IDF needs to assassinate? A percentage of members from some official Hamas roster that need to be killed?
And are these IDF tactics on the urban Gaza battlefield anything close to optimal?? Both the number (30,500+) and the percentage (~87%) of civilian casualties are ridiculously high (source: Euro-Med HRM, February 3 report). Many of the hostages have even perished due to the carpet bombing.
And what is this lengthy siege on Gaza doing for future Hamas recruitment?? Or for the long-term security of Israeli citizens abroad, for that matter? Or for Israel’s diplomatic standing in the world? Or for their economic vitality? So it’s clearly in the best interest of Israel to bring this conflict to a swift conclusion. However, it’s also difficult to bring a mission to a conclusion if the mission objectives aren’t clearly defined!
Then again…maybe the mission objectives were clear all along? Maybe the intent was land seizure and eventual Israeli citizen settlement of Gaza, with the hope that the concerned international community would take in all the Palestinian refugees? None of you here, after all, challenged me on my accusations of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Please stop with these ridiculous insinuations of anti-Semitism. They are never get-out-of-jail-free cards for ethnic cleansing and genocide.
The purpose of protesting is to effect change. What good does protesting Putin do? Do you think he cares what the outside world thinks? The United States and Israel are democracies that, in theory at least, are responsive to their respective citizenry (in practice, admittedly, the U.S. functions as a corporate oligarchy while Israel is a satellite state of American imperialism that helps it maintain Middle Eastern hegemony).
I'll stop with the insinuating then; it's antisemitism.

Easy for us to say flippant when the conflict doesn't directly impact the US and few of our citizens were killed. After 9/11 people wanted to bomb the middle east into the stone age. No one was concerned about collateral damage in Syria, Afghanistan or Iraq (where orders of magnitude more have died than in Gaza). Similarly, in the past there was little sympathy for the residents of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki or Hanoi.
Now that we're on the outside looking in, we think we have some sort of moral high ground to stand on. We don't. If the US chooses to discontinue aid to Israel that's fine but when it comes to indiscriminate bombing, we're the last country on earth that should criticize Israel.
Isn't Russia indiscriminately blowing up ***** in Ukraine?
Funny, because that's been going on for a while and yet I haven't seen global protests condemning that, and in that case they are purely the aggressor, not a nation responding to an existential threat.
I can't imagine what the difference could be...

True. It’s the dying part I’m worried about. No one will be left soon if this keeps up. Kneel on the ball. Game is over. It’s a blowout.
I don’t get it lol. Is this supposed to be something exclusive to WNY? Lol. Either way it’s West side for life, baby!
A lot of WNY'ers say "I seen" and it's nothing short of maddening.

If you seen what I seen you guys would not support Israel. Your algorithm on social media sites show you what you want to see. I purposely watch both sides of coverage so my algorithm is as fair as possible. It’s horrible. You guys have no clue what’s going on. And if you do you’re despicable people and one day you will be judged. We will all have our day in front of the Lord. Laugh now, cry later.
Man, if that isn't some WNY grammar, I don't know what is!

So many comments when Biden says dumb things, crickets when Trump does. And he says insane shiite every day virtually.
It's not particularly notable because he's always been an idiot who says stupid *****.
But then again so has Biden.
The difference seems to be that one is a current commander in chief and appears to be in rapid cognitive decline.

Uh, yeah. He LITERALLY did just yesterday. But we're just going to ignore him reiterating he wants to retire a Bill and doesn't want to be traded as recent as 24 hours ago - because then how can we talk about getting him off the team otherwise?
Try reading that conversation again and look at the question to which I was responding.

You see this is the issue. And not picking on you with this reply, but its more a general response to a lot of the nonsense in this thread. Some of you have decided Diggs is an issue no matter what. Even when Diggs says he WANTS to be here, does NOT WANT to be traded, and WANTS to retire a Bill there are people here that will say what you just said.
So, Diggs has NEVER even one time said he was unhappy in Buffalo, not once. He had NEVER said he wants out, not even once. He has NEVER once said he has any issue with Josh. Yet so many people have come to these conclusions that he wants out, isn't happy here, has an issue with Josh by "decoding" or twisting things he has said to mean something different, or taken something they saw and decided it meant something like him wanting out. But now when he DOES say he WANTS to be here, Josh IS Family, he WANTS to retire a Bill then you are saying he doesn't really mean it and it still must mean its just an act and he wants out?
Do you guys even get the ridiculousness of making things up he didn't say, then disregarding the FACTUAL and EXACT things he does say?
Is a trade possible, sure...nothing is impossible. But the likeliness of that is pretty low given Diggs doesn't want to be traded, Beane restating his confidence in Diggs, our cap situation, and Diggs cap hits.
Earlier in this thread people were moaning about why doesn't Diggs just say it clearly then...now he goes out and flat out says what they wanted to hear in that he wants to be here, does not want to be traded, and hopes to retire a Bill and the response is now "of course he is going to put on a good public face"
Explicitly stated? No he hasn't.
But I think anyone who is paying attention can clearly see he's trying to stir something up with his purposefully cagey statements and vague tweets.

If Diggs "wants out", why is he doing interviews saying he hopes he stays in Buffalo, Josh is family, and he wants to retire a Buffalo Bill? Literally saying this in his most recent interviews.
Ive yet to see anyone show how it will even be mathematically possible for the Bills to trade Diggs prior to the draft so we would be able to get draft picks in this draft to rebuild the WR room. The cap hits this year and next year would be crippling to a team who has half its roster essentially as FA's right now and already a bad cap situation.
Nothing is impossible, but this "trade" stuff seems to be more media created click bait stuff than anything of actual substance.
The trade rumors may well be nonsense, but a trade is probably his only way out.
If he wants to endear himself to any potential suitors, of course he's going to put on a good public face.

Most of the world isn't Israel nor facing what they are facing at their border, which is a funded, trained terrorist organization that wants them and all their people eradicated.
Most of the world didn't go through what their citizens did on oct 7.
It was an ill-considered, unnecessary, almost flippant comment deeply criticizing our best ally and only democracy in the region, a region a spark away from conflagration.
Evidently, it got huge play in all the Israeli press today.
This guy should stop talking and just enjoy the next 11 months.
When he speaks off the cuff, it is never good, and often senseless.
It's like he and his VP were made for each other. 😂

If anyone over the age of 18 is a Swiftie...
And I agree about Beyonce. She should have at least won one by now. And she's a smoke show to boot.
You don't have to like it, but there are tons of 'em.
And yeah Beyonce is hot (Swift has a weird face) but I'm not sure that should qualify her for an award outside of Penthouse.
To be fair I don't listen to that style of music by choice so I'm probably not the best judge.

Semi-related;
I'm not a Grammy watcher but saw Jay-Z was complaining last night about his wife's lack of album of the year wins (in spite of her not having a qualifying album this year). Seemed like a swipe at Swift.
And while I'm no great fan of Swift's music I can at least appreciate the fact that she writes or co-writes her material. Unlike Beyonce, whose albums have a multitude of people claiming song writing credits.

Strongly disagree.
No surprise there.
By the way, for you and the other guy who has joined you in posts about Biden's actions re the three casualties and their remains.
Remember the Navy Seal named Chambers, who was killed boarding a weapon delivering boat last month?
The guy was from Maryland,
I had dinner with my best buddy from AOCS last night. He was a F-14 RIO and he lives in Annapolis.
They have a completely different view of how the Biden Admin handled his death.
I don't get excited about this stuff, but it wasn't good.
For what it's worth.
I'm curious what your friend didn't like?
I've not talked to my Tampa buddies about this incident yet, but what was your friend expecting the administration to do differently regarding those guys getting lost at sea?
