I don't practice any organized religion, but steal from their supposed philosophy when appropriate, and this genocide is appropriate. Matthew 7-23, And then I will declare to them, I never knew you, depart from me, you who practice lawlessness. Me thinks that only the mad and the children will enter the mystical place called Heaven.
This is a reminder that Hamas once again recently stated that they will sacrifice the life of every single Palestinian in Gaza in the war to kill every single Jew in Israel. Hamas, the terrorist group, are the ones committing genocide.
Stating the reality. Israeli ambassador casts staff killings as part of wider Middle East war Yechiel Leiter described Wednesday’s shooting as part of a “political agenda” to eradicate the state of Israel. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/22/israeli-ambassador-staff-killings-war-00366058 Israel’s ambassador to the United States cast the killing of two of his country’s staffers in Washington as part of the Jewish state’s multifront war in the Middle East against Iran and its proxies. “This is done in the name of a political agenda to eradicate the state of Israel,” Yechiel Leiter told reporters, referring to reports that the alleged gunman Elias Rodriguez had shouted “Free, free Palestine,” as he was apprehended by the police. “The state of Israel is now fighting a war on seven fronts. This is the eighth front. The war to demonize, delegitimize and to eradicate the right of the state of Israel to exist,” Leiter said. The Israeli ambassador spoke to the press on Thursday outside the Capital Jewish Museum where Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim were shot dead on Wednesday evening as they left an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee. Leiter described Lischinsky — who worked as a senior adviser in the political division of the embassy — as “a principled human being, very unassuming, very intelligent, very accomplished.” Lischinsky, who was originally from Germany, had bought an engagement ring and planned to propose to Milgrim on a trip to Jerusalem next week. Milgrim, originally from Kansas, worked in the embassy’s public diplomacy division. The attack in downtown Washington sent shockwaves throughout the capital and has been condemned by lawmakers and officials from across the political spectrum. Leiter strongly pushed back against questions as to whether the brutal conduct of Israel’s war in Gaza, which was sparked by the Hamas-led attacks of Oct. 7, had affected antisemitism around the world. Attacks on Jews and Muslims have surged in the United States in the wake of the attacks, according to rights groups. Some 1,200 people — including Israelis and nationals of other countries — were killed in the attacks. Some 250 people were taken into Gaza as hostages. More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed in the ensuing war in the coastal enclave. “Antisemitism is on the rise not because of Israel’s responding but because of countries like France,” Leiter said, referring to recent proposals by French officials to recognize a Palestinian state. “This is a contorted sense of morality. They should be ashamed of themselves and we’re going to oppose that in the area of diplomacy as well,” he said. Leiter, whose son was killed in 2023 while fighting in Gaza for the Israeli Defense Forces, said that the country had gone to great lengths to prevent collateral damage in its campaign. Rights groups have documented multiple incidents of indiscriminate bombing in Gaza, including on civilian homes. “What you’d like us to do, perhaps, Mr. Macron, is to roll over and play dead,” said Leiter, referring to the French President Emmanuel Macron. Asked about what it would take for Israel to agree to a ceasefire in Gaza, Leiter said Hamas needed to release the remaining hostages, disarm and leave the strip.
GWB approaches this like a debate club exercise, as if we're missing some context some more copy pasted links will fix. I don't know what mental disorder drives that, I guess typical IT guy spectrum / brutal office politics fuelled stubborn. But you, who saw how 'pacification' worked in Vietnam, and I, who watched Britain's security theater in Northern Ireland, recognize the pattern immediately I think? Israel isn't eradicating Hamas, it's replicating the conditions that created and are sustaining exactly the kind of resistence they can count on, to do the wrong thing. Siege 2 million people for a couple of decades, you don't get surrender. You get a few tens of thousands of that population's best minds, on the far right of the bell curve, determined to kill you. Every 'military operation' that kills 200 civilians to eliminate 3 militants is an investment in the next generation of resistance. The IDF’s own historians documented this dynamic after Lebanon. They know. We know. So why do we pretend not to understand that what they’re doing is not just predictable, but intentional? A year and more ago brown journalism people were warning that this was locked into the terminal phase of a genocide and now, even the most stubborn "independent" thinkers with platforms are saying they now see they were wrong. Jesus H, if that Piers cunt gets it now..here another mindless piece of media.
I have stated numerous times that Step 1 in any path towards peace is the complete elimination of Hamas as a governing and militant entity in Gaza. Until this is complete then there is no Step 2. I was hoping that Step 2 would involve the reconstruction of Gaza followed by a two-state agreement. However that hope is fading fast as the right-wing Netanyahu government does not support this direction forward. I can only hope that elections in Israel lead to a more moderate government that will focus on a two-state solution including the return of land occupied by settlers in the West Bank. As outlined in the other thread, several weeks ago I contacted the two Senators in my state outlining the urgent need for food aid to be provided in Gaza. Senator Tillis (R-NC) has advocated for allowing food aid to be let into Gaza and has stated that Trump's plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza is a non-starter. The article in the other thread outlined that pressure from U.S. Senators (on both sides of the aisle) drove Israel to start allowing aid into Gaza again. Seeing that you mentioned Lebanon -- the Lebanese military & government has stated that Hezbollah needs to completely disarm or they "will be wiped from the face of the earth". The Lebanese know how to address terrorists apparently.
EXACTY!! I thought of expanding on what you wrote, buy decided on the genius of brevity. Yet, I can't help myself. It's not that they don't learn, they do learn what works to keep the violence going. It's infuriating to watch after witnessing first hand. It's like, these no good motherfuckers, it never ends.
Let's see what the Los Angeles Times has to say... The Israeli Embassy killings and the ominous turn in political violence https://www.latimes.com/opinion/sto...mitic-israeli-embassy-jewish-museum-shootings Actions, we know, have consequences. And an apparent Marxist’s cold-blooded murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington on Wednesday night was the natural and inevitable consequence of a conscientious, years-long campaign to dehumanize Jews and otherize all supporters of the world’s only Jewish state. Seriously, what did you think was going to happen? Some of President Trump’s more colorful all-caps and exclamation-mark-filled social media posts evince an impending jackboot, we’re sometimes told. (Hold aside, for now, columnist Salena Zito’s apt 2016 quip about taking Trump seriously but not literally.) Words either have meaning or they don’t. And many left-wing Americans have, for a long time now, argued that they have tremendous meaning. How often, as the concept of the “microaggression” and its campus “safe space” corollary took off last decade, were we told that “words are violence”? (I’ll answer: A lot!) So are we really not supposed to take seriously the clear calls for Jewish genocide that have erupted on American campuses and throughout American streets since the Hamas pogrom of Oct. 7, 2023? Are we really supposed to believe that chants such as “globalize the intifada,” “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and “there is only one solution, intifada revolution” are vague and open to competing interpretations? That doesn’t even pass the laugh test. When pro-Israel Jewish American Paul Kessler died after being hit on the head during a clash of protesters in Thousand Oaks on Nov. 5, 2023, that is what “intifada revolution” looks like in practice. When Israeli woman Tzeela Gez was murdered by a jihadist while en route to the hospital to deliver her baby earlier this month, that was what “from the river to the sea” looks like in practice. And when two young Israeli Embassy staffers were executed while leaving an event this week at Washington’s Capital Jewish Museum, that is what “globalize the intifada” looks like in practice. Really, what did you think was going to happen? Indeed, it is the easily foreseeable nature of Wednesday night’s slayings that is perhaps the most tragic part of it all. The suspect in the deaths of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim left behind a handy manifesto laying out a clear political motivation. This was not a random drive-by shooting. Hardly. This was a deliberate act — what appears to be an act of domestic terrorism. And the suspect, Elias Rodriguez, has a long history of involvement in far-left activist causes. If the killer intended to target Jews, then the fact that both victims were apparently Christian only underscores the “globalize” part of “globalize the intifada.” Zito had it right back in 2016: Trump’s social media posts should be taken seriously, not literally. But when it comes to the murderous, genocidal clamoring for Jewish and Israeli blood that has become increasingly ubiquitous ever since the Jews themselves suffered their single bloodiest day since the Third Reich, such anti-Israel and antisemitic words must be taken both seriously and literally. A previous generation of lawmakers once urged Americans to fight the terrorists “over there” so that they can’t harm us “here.” How quaint! The discomfiting reality in the year 2025 is this: The radicals, both homegrown and foreign-born alike, are already here. There are monsters in our midst. And those monsters are not limited to jihadists. Domestic terrorists these days come from all backgrounds. The deaths of two Israeli diplomats are yet another reminder (not that we needed it): Politically motivated violence in the contemporary United States is not an equivalent problem on both the left and the right. In 2012, Floyd Lee Corkins attempted to shoot up the socially conservative Family Research Council because he heard it was “anti-gay.” In 2017, James Hodgkinson shot up the Republican congressional baseball team a few weeks after posting on Facebook that Trump is a “traitor” and threat to “our democracy.” In 2022, Nicholas Roske flew cross-country to try to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and thus prevent Roe vs. Wade from being overturned. Earlier this year, anti-Elon Musk activists burned and looted Teslas — and assaulted Tesla drivers — because of Musk’s Trump administration work with his cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency. And who can forget Luigi Mangione, who is charged in the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare Chief Executive Brian Thompson? Both “sides” are not culpable here. They just aren’t. Israel supporters in America aren’t out there gunning down people waving the PLO flag. Nor are capitalists out there gunning down socialists. There is a real darkness out there in certain — increasingly widespread — pockets of the American activist left. Sure, parts of the right are also lost at the moment — but this is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Regardless, the violence must end. And we must stop treating open calls for murder or genocide as morally acceptable “speech.” Let’s pull ourselves back from the brink before more blood is shed.
The pro-Hamas groups are proudly celebrating the murder. Let's remember this next time they are out marching around the streets shouting 'Kill the Jews". Sick pro-Hamas groups celebrate horrific murder of Israeli diplomats outside Jewish museum as ‘heroic attack’ https://nypost.com/2025/05/22/us-ne...omats-outside-jewish-museum-in-washington-dc/ Additionally let's outline what "Free Palestine" is calling for... Former Biden admin official says 'Free Palestine' is now a 'call for violence' after recent shooting "I think there’s no question, whatever its initial intent and whatever people were saying initially or meant it, it has become a call for violence, and not violence against Israelis — which is wrong — but violence against Jews," she said. https://justthenews.com/government/...free-palestine-now-call-violence-after-recent
That young couple were murdered because a guy saw this kind of imagery and experienced enough moral injury to lash out against Israeli embassy staff. Its important to understand that at this time of year there is no rain and daytime temperature will be in the 26-36C range / 79F - 99F. Child under five: Survival without food (with water): Typically 3–10 days, though deterioration can begin much sooner. Without food and water: Survival can be as short as 2–3 days. Dehydration is often more fatal than lack of calories. Complications: Organ failure, immune collapse, and irreversible developmental damage can begin even before death. Infants and toddlers are particularly at risk of fatal electrolyte imbalances. Healthy adult: Survival without food (with water): Typically 30–60 days, depending on body fat, hydration, and health. Without food and water: About 3–7 days, although some may die sooner depending on climate and activity levels. GWB thinks he'd better have another helping of briskit for lunch just in case BLM and Hamas terrorists blockade the food court. They are everywhere now. After 80 days without aid, the first trucks carrying flour and baby formula finally entered Gaza. But when people are that starved, chaos is inevitable. I’ve seen it firsthand though in smaller towns/villages cut off by war: in the end stages of famine, the remaining strong, those who've shifted into survival-mode sociopathy, will hijack supplies. It's brutal, but not inexplicable. And that’s the trap: create the famine, delay the aid, then film the madness. The architects of the siege say, “Look how savage they are,” using the predictable collapse of social order as proof of moral inferiority.
Moral injury, even by proxy, does this: Investigators are actively reviewing writings posted on X and attributed to Elias Rodriguez, multiple law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation told ABC News. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino posted a statement on X on Thursday, confirming, "The FBI is aware of certain writings allegedly authored by the suspect, and we hope to have updates to the authenticity very soon." Bongino said the suspect was interviewed by investigators around 1 a.m. ET on Thursday, but he did not disclose the contents of the interview. "The FBI believes there is no ongoing threat to the public at this time," Bongino said. "At the same time, I want the public to be assured we are following up on any additional leads to ensure we do our complete and total due diligence on this." ABC News has reviewed the 980-word document titled, "Escalate For Gaza, Bring The War Home." In the writings, the author addresses the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and suggests the latest death toll has been underestimated. The author appears to lament the inaction of the U.S. government and accuses it of criminalizing protest. The document appears to commend the "sacrifice" made by Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old active-duty U.S. Air Force airman who in February 2024 self-immolated in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. The author also made references to the 1972 attempted drowning of former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara off Martha's Vineyard by a man reportedly angry about McNamara's role in the Vietnam War. The author suggested that many Americans today would judge those actions as "sane." The author signs off by sending love to his family and writing "Free Palestine." https://abcnews.go.com/US/suspect-killing-couple-capital-jewish-museum/story?id=122068843
