JPADS is best used in less densely packed areas. Happened a few times in Afghanistan too.

Here's a Minute from my Jewish friend Mitchell, dammit:

March 15, 2024-Chuch Schumer's speech about Israel yesterday was extremely importnat. It reflected the views of many Americans, including many Jewish Americans and gives others a framework for thinking and speaking about the war.

Donald Trump said today that Jews who support Democrats and criticize Israel's far-right government "hate Israel and hate their religion." Rabbi Jay Michaelson responds in this segment from CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, March 18, 2024


My close Jewish friend Mitchell:
Trump's latest comments about Jews and Isreal are offensive and antisemitic. However, all his supporters who were so upset about antisemitsm on the left are completely silent becuse they don't care about Jews, only about their cult leader

A modest proposal by Jared Kushner.....WWJaredD?

Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner has offered his own solution to the mass bloodshed and displacement in Gaza: some good, old-fashioned real estate development.

During an interview with Tarek Masoud, the faculty chair of Harvard’s Middle East Initiative, Kushner proposed moving Palestinians to Israel’s arid desert region to “clean up” Gaza’s “valuable” waterfront.

“Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable to—if people would focus on building up livelihoods,” Kushner said, without clarifying who exactly would profit off such a project. He added that the area could’ve had great potential if “all the money” in Gaza had gone into “education and innovation,” instead of its tunnel network and munitions.

Kushner’s statement comes on the heels of warnings from the United Nations that the people of Gaza are facing an “imminent famine” as Israel continues its offensive.

Kushner suggested displacing the remaining Palestinians from the “valuable” waterfront, and dropping them in the Negev desert.

“I would just bulldoze something in the Negev, I would try to move people in there, I know that that won’t be the popular thing to do, but I think that that’s a better option to do, so that you can go in and finish the job,” he said. The Jewish Virtual Library describes the Negev as “oppressively hot” and “filled more with dirt, rocks and canyons, which are no less forbidding” than sand dunes.

When asked about concerns that Palestinians would be prohibited from returning to Gaza, Kushner said, “I am not sure there’s much left of Gaza at this point.”

Kushner clarified that he didn't know if Israeli officials were seriously considering displacing Palestinians to the Negev.

“I’m sitting in Miami Beach right now, and I’m looking at the situation and I’m thinking: what would I do if I was there?” Kushner said.

That family is a bunch of absolute turds.

And yet, MANY people love and adore them.
Please make it make sense to me - other than people are fucking stupid and easily brainwashed and manipulated.

Absolutely inarguably true.

Also the "alternative" outsider guy this year is a Kennedy.

Russia,China veto U.S. led UN resolution on Gaza ceasefire.
I’m curious what would happen during a ceasefire. Does that mean that the IDF could meander around Gaza without getting killed and same for Hamas?

Cui bono? Why Russia and China. Russia is behind all of this.

Zionist has become code for Jew. One piece of evidence for that is that Jews have been targets of protestors, but not the millions of Christian Zionists.

AKA "what would I do to make some money on the situation over there?".

Jesus Christ, I hadn't focused on that arrant bullshit. So the plan would be to turn part of Gaza into some sort of Williamsburg-on-the-sea-cum-Neom?
