Malley does not favor an outright partnership with Assad against the Islamic State, according to sources familiar with his thinking. But, as the former colleague put it: “He’s more inclined than some others to be flexible on the question of Assad’s durability.” so maybe his policy was totally wrong. did he share Israeli secrets with the Russians? 5 minutes ago, SUNY_amherst said: there is a lot of crazy shite in this thread. there's a lot of crazy shite happening... 11 minutes ago, JDHillFan said: She represents one of the most liberal districts in the nation.

You obviously don’t know much about the Twin Cities though I imagine now you will go off on a tangent about juicy Lucy‘s and Mary Tyler Moore. She’s won three times with 78, 64, 74% of the vote. Her antisemitism hasn’t been a secret during any of those campaigns. She’s a shoe in.

Dukestreetking Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 20 minutes ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: please interpret without jargon and ambiguity. IC is intelligence community. ISR is what's discussed here: https://www.airuniversity.af.edu/ISR/. what is meant by the rest? connect the dots.... Sorry about that. It's the three-letter code for Israel, often used in military/Intel world. I was not using the acronym in the Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance meaning. 29 minutes ago, sherpa said: I think it is quite correct. I was trying to be polite. Your position is that Israel "does not share information beyond a basic level". This is utterly false, tactically, operationally and strategically. See open source reporting re the early demise of Imad Mughniyeh as one example. To be clear: I have enormous respect and admiration for the many relevant Israelis/institutions that I worked with. Indeed, I was often at odds w certain US IC entities b/c we were not sharing enough with them! There are biases that are difficult to overcome. If the above does not suffice, then regretfully I can't spell it out any more clearly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 2 hours ago, cle23 said: That's not entirely true. I in no way support Hamas and their attacks. They are targeting civilians, and among them many women and children. That's awful, and the completely wrong way to go about trying to fight for their freedom. My issue is that both sides of this are committing war crimes, but here in the US, we only call out Palestinians for it. Israel has been murdering civilians for decades, imprisoning people indefinitely, and lobbing bombs across the border and killing whoever may be in the area. Both sides are awful here, and have been for years. Hamas is a terrorist group. they are beheading children while laughing about it, babies!, raping and killing women, then parading their dead bodies around the streets, burning elderly women alive, and then posting the ***** on social media. This isn’t collateral damage from unfortunate warfare it’s mid-evil barbarism and genocide. they busted in, invaded Israel and kidnapped and killed hundreds and hundreds of civilians. listen to their propaganda- it’s not free our selves or claim some land back, it’s kill every last Jew on the planet. They have no purpose other than to kill or be killed. these people are the most cruel violent and savage actors we have seen. They deserve what’s coming now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamas's charter says they will not negotiate a settled peace with Israel. And their stated goal is the death of every jew and the destruction of Israel as a nation. Demanding that Israel negotiate a two state solution with such a political entity is the definition of insanity. And these types of attacks nothing new. They've used a long standing strategy to provoke Israel into attacking Hamas targets with the hopes of Israel killing as many Palestinian civilians as possible. They literally want to sacrifice enough dead Palestinian civilians that the world will turn against Israel and give them enough support to destroy Israel as a nation. These are not poor oppressed people acting out of decades of frustration. This is a murderous evil force intentionally bringing death and destruction on their own people with the hopes of gaining enough support so that they can once and for all destroy Israel and kill all of the Jews.
