You don’t know how right you are!

that gives me no solace trust me. If you do not believe in a deity this situation  reads quite hopeless. A miracle of healing? Where is that going to come from?

 

*shrugs* you know how I feel about that. 

[muppy]

I want to also say there is some skilled wordsmithing going on in the thread here. Great writing. Staunch and intelligent opinions.

 

I find it hard to argue (which is good) and I appreciate the banter kids. DONT STOP

Crazy hostage rescue!; glad they got them. Wish this whole situation could just end, but so goes the world

This part of the saga could end, with the release of the remaining hostages as some including CKA has suggested.  In the meantime, it sounds as though the hostages are held where significant casualties are incurred when rescue attempts are launched. That’s horrible. It’s a tragedy that it’s playing out like this.

Hamas is pure evil. Israel is a good country that is doing some wrongs, too in taking land in West Bank. I watched part of, "In the Name of the Father" last night, and things were pretty bad in Northern Ireland with terrorism and such, that finally ended. Hopefully a miracle will take place here. But probably not

True, but absolutely nothing like post 1967 - all they’ve done is cede land back to the Palestinians.
 

 

The real issue no one talks about - because it could get resolved but Hamas isn’t interested in resolutions - is fresh water access.  That and of course the few extremists left that want control of the Temple Mount.

OMG I want to give Kay and Leo a group Hug ***HUG***

 

a very muplike pipsqueak response in this thread is both sincere and heartfelt.

 

Come Lord Jesus. I really think only deity will ever cure this conflict. Especially now. If we thought bad blood existed before, which it did. By now it is MAGNIFIED

 

Lord have Mercy

Thanks you Mupatisto,  I appreciate the goodwill. 
 

Though, I must admit CKA calling me a dirty name came out of nowhere.  Here I am just trying to have a discussion and presto-whamo the bad words fly. 
 

If you see her at the next girl meeting where you talk about French braids, Cindy Crawford moisturizer or other stuff, don’t tell her I’m angry, tell her I’m hurt.  Then tell me what she tells you.

You mentioned listening to Billy Joel a few posts back. But I think a more appropriate and applicable song for our discussions and issues of the era would be Shades of Grey.

I think some gym time will do you good.  You may have had your sleep number at 17 when you’re actually a 75…you woke up grumpy.  
 

It’s pretty cool how you had item #1 on the list in your Lululemon Everywhere Belt bag—I was getting worried you were completely dismissive of the suffering of the hostages—you barely/ never mention that…while picking at me for speaking about the hostages.  
 

Now that you’ve come around—let’s just reflect on our back and forth here—where fundamentally you agreed with my initial suggestion as outlined in Kay’s bullet point 1 (which is actually Kay’s bullet point 22, subsection A, paragraph 4)  today, which was my bullet point 1 several days ago.  

From there, I’d think there is merit in some of your remaining bullet points.  

As for the fitness/well-being advice you’ve shared, thank you.  I’ll consider it. 
 

On the other hand, I’m  listening to Billy Joel at the moment, working around the house, and he tells us “It’s all about soul…a power of love and a power of healing”.   I like that. 
 

Have a nice workout, and kudos to you on your flat summer tummy, or summy as they (maybe) say in Paupa New Guinea.

 

I was a bit “hangry” at the time of that post. Perhaps my combative tone would have been more subdued had I first consumed my pre-workout “No Cow: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup” bar?? Or perhaps not. Part of the Commie Kay experience is simply dealing with the behaviorally volatile nature. To paraphrase a seminal vegan cartoon character, “I yam what I yam, and that’s all that I yam: a SWEET potato! Now let’s have a strong posting finish while I eats me some spinach…”

 

Didactically speaking, I rarely see the value in criticizing Hamas or in defending the defensible components of the Israeli nationalist perspective here at PPP. This is a very far-right forum (especially if you have BillStime and Tibsy blocked), so that side of the debate is thoroughly presented on just about every related news event imaginable. If this was, say, a 2010’s ISIS internet chat room, then you might think I was some ardent Zionist based on what would be the content focus of my posts. Nevertheless, I HAVE posted advocacy here before for hostage human rights and for Israel’s right to exist in peace, as well as scathing criticisms of Hamas…but you apparently don’t read my posts all that often or all that closely anymore, Leh-nerd. << Kay Adams cry emoji >>

 

Merit in SOME of my remaining bullet points, you say?? Let’s revisit my most important debate point: #7. Israel’s government leaders now claim, post-10/7, that they can’t entertain giving Palestinians their own sovereign state (or full and equal citizenship, for that matter) because that would be akin to rewarding terrorism. Do you agree with that sentiment? Keep in mind that one could conceivably do two things concurrently: grant a particular subset of humans what should be their inalienable rights as human beings, as well as prosecute terrorists for their acts of terrorism.

 

My central argument has long been that Israel was a terribly flawed construction since its inception, which has made their generational path to perpetual national insecurity inevitable, and which has set them on a ruinous path of moral damnation, and which can best (or only?) be salvaged with a one-state solution that also provides specifically stated tyranny-of-majority constitutional protections for Jewish people.

 

Thank you for the well-wishes on my core workouts, Leh-nerd. It’s all about what you can wear after Memorial Day weekend. “Oooh whoa, oh-ah, it’s a cruel summer,” as Taylor Swift tells us. I like that.

Which dirty name?? Oh…you mean “sh!thead?” Well, Leh-nerd, you did insinuate that I was unhappy to see Israeli hostages freed, as if the nuanced politics of Commie Kay can be reduced to such starkly Machiavellian terms…

 

I didn’t see Muppy at the most recent TBD PPP Girls meeting, but I was the meeting recorder there (and the only one at the meeting, incidentally). The minutes read as follows:

 

“1. Leh-nerd S. is a poopyface.

2. Crown braids FTW.

3. L. Skin-erd is a doodoohead.

4. Cucumber-based moisturizers FTW.

5. L.S. smells like fecal matter from the neck up.

6. Next meeting’s snacks: birthday cake-flavored No Cow bars.”

[Andy1]

Hamas is just fine with Palestinians dying. Palestinians support Hamas. The left wants Biden to stop the war. Nothing is logical about any of this mess. What a SNAFU. Applying logic from our western perspective is probably doomed to fail.

This is why I thought that the first condition would be the release of all hostages, and why, now, I'd suggest you reconsider your embargo on criticizing Hamas.

I assume you read this sentence near the bottom of the article: “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated time and again that Israel will not end the war in Gaza until Hamas is destroyed.” If part of that peace deal included Hamas destroying itself, no wonder why Hamas rejected it…

 

Of course, we can all rationally deduce that this wasn’t part of the peace deal. We have four variations here of the truth (besides the actual truth): what Hamas leaders say, what Israel’s government leaders say, what Blinken says, and what AIPAC-funded media sources like the New York Post report. None of these involved parties, to date, have shown themselves to be wholly trustworthy. What’s perplexing to me is why an uber-skeptical conservative such as yourself would suddenly trust the Secretary of State for Joe Biden!

 

Assiduous readers of the Kay-mmunist Manifestos have probably already surmised what’s happening: Blinken’s mendacity regarding the peace deal is providing legal cover for Israel and the U.S., while also allowing both countries to save face in the general international community. It’s in the best interests of both countries to muddle and obviate the truth from reaching the ICJ and uncompromised media sources. For Israel’s government, the post-October 7 Gaza conflict was always about stealing land and resources more so than rescuing hostages and destroying Hamas. Violence and illegal settlements in the West Bank have escalated, while not even 50% of the hostages have been successfully returned after 8+ months and while Hamas recruitment in Gaza increases. What any permanent ceasefire means to Israel’s political leaders with ICC arrest warrants in their name (Bibi et al.) is their subsequent loss of power and their having to face domestic and international criminal prosecution.

 

By the way: remember the recent IDF rescue mission in the Nuseirat refugee camp that saved 4 hostages? The one that you wanted me to celebrate? According to the Gaza Health Ministry, 274 Palestinians died and 698 more were injured during that mission. According to Hamas, 3 other hostages died during it. Pragmatic negotiations for partial hostage releases could have prevented this reckless carnage. Just saying…

 

Also: I have no “embargo” on criticizing Hamas. I’ve always called them untrustworthy terrorists and psychopaths whose interests aren’t aligned with those of Palestinians. Do you have an “embargo” on criticizing Israel?? When are you going to call out their far-right government and the IDF as war criminals guilty of ethnic cleansing and genocide??

 

I hope you’re having a great Father’s Day, Leh-nerd. Tomorrow is Meatless Monday, so plan your meals accordingly.

Thank you, I had a wonderful Father’s Day, part of which I spent reflecting on how fortunate I was to have such a wonderful father of my own.   I realize more now than ever what a gift I was given, and for tonight, I’ll roll with that. 
 

Have a good night, Kay.
