 It has been a mission of Israel, long before the PLO or the arrival of Hamas, to establich an ethnostate and to remove Palestinians. This agenda was set forth long before Trump came onto the scene. He is the figurehead of your empire. The point was already well established by "Wall Street" about the fallacy and perils of judging an entire group based on the actions of a smaller group. This is a line we all should respect in order to solve problems.

I heard snippets of Sean Hannity on Fox satellite radio, and he is drumming support for these same points you make: "The Palestinians voted for Hamas; violence against Israel is in their charter." He did not listen to someone calling in, saying that "....getting another country to take in the Palestinians is "ethnic cleansing..." We all can see this reality, it is as plain as day.

This is all we have been hearing from American empire media, while the IDF destroyed every hospital in Gaza, incl the largest one with Doctors without Borders, so all that remains is a husk. The IDF also destroyed medical breathing equipment. All because, we are told, "Hamas is hiding below...."

Who targets hospitals and schools and tents with huge bombs? Who stops food shipments so people will starve? They bombed their homes, then ordered them to "safe zones" which they bombed as well. The infrastructure is now destroyed, which gives rise now to the inevitable, that these people die, or flee to another country. And by happenstance, this is what Israel has always wanted. And Trump is promising to deliver it to them. This is not problem solving--this is simply raising the hands of the victors, and kicking out the "losers." This is not what peace and justice looks like, but it is exactly what human rights activists have feared and had fought to prevent for generations.

If the US is so concerned about the nation of Israel, why not give them half of Florida? There security would be guaranteed and it would be cheaper. Darnold loves to save money. Would save trillions of dollars and millions of lives...Their time in the "Holy Land"  living there is far less than the Palestinians. Most living there now do not practice judaism (are non practicing).

Most orthodox Je.ws reject zionism (land expansionist ideologies) and even refuse military service. Can't say I blame them...

Most American Je.ws couldn't stomach even the thought of living in Israel...again, can't say i blame them. It is too different culturally. But they are not violent people.

...........

The Palestinians are not "terrorists" or "hate America," and they don't even hate the person---they lived with them for centuries....virtually no problems whatsoever. There are countless Christian communities there, descendants of the first Christians, also in Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and these are good people ...Since 1948, they have been on the receiving end of hateful but skilled propaganda--everyone talks about how in the infamous 2001 videos "they danced and celebrated the bombing of the Twin Towers..." when this clearly was a hoax perpretrated by propaganda strategists (Mossad agents)... Literally one of these agents handed out candies to a group of children, and promised more....and then filmed their innocent joy (they do get very happy over simple pleasures) with their other actors carrying maliscious posters that westerners could understand....and more people saw these images than the Superbowl. This is what happens when you are targeted for extinction, and for them these are dark forces they cannot comprehend and yet face these like a kafkaesque tragedy, living in camps, landlocked, controlled, isolated...judged and condemned....hated.

I don't know why Israelis could not share governance with them. So easy to have dual Presidents, dual VPs, foreign ministers, and act through one Parliament. It is a challenge, but could be done with pressure from the Western powers who created and supported the colonization in 1948. A terrible lack of foresight and leadership by the Uk and the US.

These leaders (led by Trump but is following the plans and advice of Bibi) are now supporting Israel to consume its "enemy" and "hurry up about it, so it's out of the public eye."  As Roger Waters has stated, "...it is so painfully sublime to see what they are going through, and being powerless to stop it."

So I was watching a briefing about Gaza, and questions about the US occupying it.....I am trying to understand the WH press sec.,  Karoline Leavitt,   but she seems tensed (wound up) when she speaks, and maybe needs to be more seasoned, okay, give her time, but has too much of a 'bleach blonde porn star vibe,' and could say the same about his spiritual advisor, Paula White. Seems a cartoonish pattern.

USAID is a CIA operation--they always need money.

It has been all too common for western governments (not just the US) to use NGOs as middlemen to meddle into the affairs of other governments. It was your Reagan who established the American version, only to take over many tasks from the CIA. They are nothing more than instruments to govern other societies, or push for regime changes if they want to. Nat'l Endowment for Democracy is a big one, also USAID. The American NGOs were activated to topple Yanukovich in Ukraine in 2014....this was the work of these NGOs. They also funded a Ukrainian NGO  and this NGO (just a CIA front) pressured Zelensky to drop all attempts to negotiate with Russia for peace in the Donbass. They threatened him with removal iand even assasination by extremist groups. Remember (or read up on how...) Zelensky won election based on his promises of negotiating for peace, but these NGOs were so very effective at manipulating all media levers in society to create a "fake consensus." Zelensky abandonded his peace mandate (for which he was elected) and Donbass was turned into a frontline. These NGOs are so cleverly wrapped in moralistic language and claims of "defending democracy." This is why you have seen odd categories of funding for large amounts of money (condoms for Afghans, theatre for LGBTQ, tea parties, etc). If it looks phoney, it probably is. Ukraine has been losing this war now, because of a war of attrition (a Russian way of fighting every war), and Ukraine has needlessly lost much territory, sovereingty and many lives, because of the work of these NGOs who are middlemen for the CIA (and other nations do it this way, too, btw, incl. nordic countries like Norway, Denmark, Finland...., because they have more funding capabilities than other EU countries.)

Trump (vis-a-vis Elon) is making much theatre about corruption and waste. However these funds will be put under the control of the Sec of State Rubio, we are told. This is not to end the funding...it is to rearrange it, so Trump has more control to filter these funds for "America First" ideologies. The evil doing will continue.

Trump is going to focus on the Middle East now, and these funds will be earmarked for plans there, which include relocating Palestinians by force into other countries, which I consider state sponsored genocide (the US is not the only nation participating in this). Other goals will be to achieve a regime change in Iran. Many humanitarian relief NGOs for Palestinians are a CIA fronts. Maybe 10% is used for relief workers and their salaries, 90% are used for evil purposes.

You say Zelensky is a comedian and an actor......So is Trump. He is a reality TV host and casino tycoon, and he is an expert at fooling you and regards you as a spectator at a WWE event.

He is doing all these executive orders to flood the narrative to appease his base, while at the same time overwhelming the opposition. Looks like his 4 year tenure will be like this from start to finish. Headline grabbing behaviors one after the other.

All this exposing fraud is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

I don't know about narratives....that is just confusing...every tv/radio personality is talking these narratives and they just confuse. If I were a player, I would shut out the noise.

here's some of them: "....blah...blah...Jalen really wants this game....noone has ever won 3 straight SBs--it is very hard to do....the fans are "tired" of KC winning...."

I just see how KC is on another level profesionally. They seem much better on defense than 2 years ago--those stops they made on Buffalo were incredible...against the MVP of the NFL. They just don't break. Hurts <Mahomes. fact.

It really doesn't matter what group of superstars you bring....KC has an answer.

Nevermind narratives, and try focus on the key players who are performing consistently in big games...Reid is like 21-4 after a layoff...the defensive coordinator is like 4-0 in Superbowls.

Blocking all "narratives." But here's one that could play out: Hurts 0-2 in the SB. "Can't seem to win the big one."

That red color of of KC will be all over that football field, and getting the job done.

PI and holding calls on defense, and holding calls on the offense, these are the most devastating calls tthat either stop or continue a scoring drive, and this can enable referees to control the scoring. The spot of the ball matters little in comparison. Doubt AI will ever replace humans for making those calls, but who's to say?

whew....I miss the "no drama Obama" days...

I believe these are indeed "lies, inaccuracies and stupidity" because Trump is spitballing ideas and sending his chosen sycophants out to try make them into reality.

Can't really say I care too much about the domestic issues, but the international agenda /comments have been like a tsunami...

Yeah, there is no plan for "beachfront resorts and condos" in Gaza. Israel is and has always been a kind of joint operation for covert (often overt frankly) operations....funding and training and arming ISIS cells to overthrow governments, like Syria....

Israel's main exports look like a spy intel nexus--surveillance, experimental pharmaceuticals, spyware, drones, sophisticated weaponry.......

The Abraham Accords were just a way to normalize relations w/ the UAE and the Saudis whilst Israel continued its law breaking, terrorizing ways.

Palestinians are (very sad for me to say) done for. Their olive grove farming, tile making and Medit. fishing days are all but over.They survived in these "camps" for 2 generations, pretty remarkable feat, since they were facing the most sophisticated Mossad propaganda, and the most advanced weaponry in the world. Gone soon enough....but never forgotten.

Think Mahomes...and this QB for Philly who was replaced by Sabin in a National Title game because of his predictability amongst other flaws.

What I saw in Mahomes in his last game was an unstoppable force. I think Philly gets a lead early---more bully to them!

But before this is said and done, KC will not let this go their "mess"

Three peat.

Stop fantasizing.

Just earn the money.

lol

Concerned about this supposedly "shaking the box" strategy of Trump (can also be called the bully kicking down the sand castle)...Denmark has spent untold billions on Greenland, energy and time...and a lot of patience and perseverance to allow Greenlanders to preserve their language, culture, traditions, while at the same time preparing them for a modern economy, bureacracies, taxation, visas, and so on....and for Trump to send his sons and various envoys to entice the Greenlanders with promises of instant retirement (like glass beads of the 1500s) is gut wrenching. I hope the Greenlanders will see how other islands have fared under American influence, notably Okinawa--which is unlike any island of Japan--or Hawaii--Honolulu is indistiguishable from LA. And look how no Native American tribe was able to preserve its language, customs, religion, and their close ties living WITH nature was denigrated and called "savage." Their culture placed into museums as relics now. Denmark should be commended for transitioning Greenlanders to the modern global community, while preserving their culture.

............

Are these punitive tariffs on Canada, and public calls to join the US simply trolling for policy? Or is it "shaking the box" to question long developed relations and alliances? Is demanding Germany pay 5% GDP for defense a way to forge new alliances altogether?

The US is seen as a promoter of freedom, democracy, free trade, human rights, and this helps other western countries to stand up to Russia and China. China is the largest mercantile empire humanity has ever seen, and they are purchasing more ports, mines, farmland, and gold reserves.....they are a game changer for everyone.

And russia is forever bothering its neigbors...let's not forget they border just about everyone....and they will have every generation, some new idea, way of life, new technologies....to threaten its neigbors with, and this will be the reality. They now are introducing new modes of banking, commerce, trade....

These are real threats to smaller nations.

If Trump is moving us to a purely transactional relationship, then we will lose an ideological connection, and our values will become scattered as old alliances are fractured. I guess this is what you voted for.

This meme coin business Trump did is not good behavior...

...taking advantage for personal gains.....and is this the example America is going to put forth now?

January 15: Rubio established three tests for every State Department policy: "Does it make America safer? Does it make America stronger? Does it make America more prosperous?"

2027-28 the world will be a different place with a lot of new challenges.

Your title says it all....and true. However...

 ... KC has now won 17 games in a row decided by one score or less. This is an NFL record. They should have won it two years age. But we can say also that Buffalo should have won this game....

KC defense is also stronger, under Spangolu, who is extremely creative and intensely focused during a game, sending bizaare blitz packages only when needed. KC does everything ....ONLY WHEN NEEDED.

Mahomes was finally set loose for scrambling, and he extended drives for them.

I don't see winning close games as a "weakness" or that they are over hyped given these close games. I feel they are loaded, and do what they must to win as time expires.

My most confident wager was KC ML, and I lost all other wagers (1-3), but I am certain this will be a high scoring game and KC wins, but I am okay with taking points and teasing with Philly, but gun pointed at my existence, I'd take KC ML.

I agree about the futility of discussions, but isn't it expected? If I even hint at a weakness about Trump, I get whiplashed...In Europe, people are starting to feel a bit on their own with Trump in office.

I mostly want to hear opinions about predictions, for those that dabble in Kalshi or Polymarkets. People make good money there...

There are markets (betting props) for what will happen regards to Ukraine, Gaza.....lots of US domestic happenings to wager on....what executive orders are coming out, interest rate predictions, price of gasoline, anything really.......most of these markets actually 'feel better' than sports wagering.

I think people get bored, then want to communicate to someone, but only want to be mean to the other side. I am most definitely not a Trump supporter, but I feel like I can make money on his decisions, seeing as how he 'trumpets his triumphs' and what he is planning to do....

#1 seeds the last 20 years are 20-3 SU.

Buffalo extremely vulnerable to the short passing game, and this is where Mahomes has readjusted and feasted on.

As much as I would love to see Josh Allen make this trip.....I can't see KC NOT exploiting these weaknesses, and the line is an absolute gift.

Hope Buffalo wins on an emotional level, to see a different team, etc., but I won't be paying for that....

..............................

Is Jalen Hurts 100%?

I'm starting to like Wash SU on the ML.

GL gentlemen.

Despite all the nonsense talk about shady refs, NFL fixing outcomes.....These games are going to be honestly played at full effort at the highest levels of the sport. This competitiveness will make them great games to watch, even if not betting.....

Wash +12

KC +5.5

Under 53.5 (BOTH GAMES)

Teaser at +6.

Allen is most definitely the MVP, but not sure how the media will vote it. However Buff has many weaknesses that better teams seem to find and exploit. Last week Jackson had 2 TD passes which is always a good feat in the NFL, and 7 targets to the TE who on those targets was wide open. KC has duly noted these weaknesses and Buff will pay. Allen might be the best player at his position, but he doesn't play defense. For Buffalo to exploit all their opportunities, they simply have to use Josh Allen rushing the ball. Mahomes will be let loose for sidleine scampers, and Allen has to do the same.

KC's defense under the seasoned veteran Spagnuolo is better than the NYG teams he led to the SB many moons ago (2007--)...maybe the best corners in the NFL. Watching KC over the years, in big games they bend but don't break.

I believe both these games will go under the number because the defenses on all 4 teams left are statistically and not surprisingly, the top 4 in the league. All of these teams score on close to 50% of their drives, but elite defenses hold teams to FG opportunities in crunch time. Guys are playing to get into the SB and will try to win every matchup....

These two games will be very close to the end, and will likely play in game both KC and Wash, depending on flow of the game and other in game circumstances.

Completely agree.....Well, they beat them already, I believe 36-33, just a month ago, and looked like they were in control of that game, very confident playmakers.

Pressure is on Philly. That can't be good in any sport.

KC has Buffalo's number. Sorry haters gonna hate for me saying that, but......

KC is on another level as a professional FB team, and the fans can see it when they come on the field, during warm ups. Kelce will have a monster performance in the next two games.

Is this a new gold plated coin he's selling?

Well, for one, I can tell you it won't be part of a Palestinian state. Even though there is a ceasefire and Israel has killed all the "terrorists," ( a condition for statehood for the US, the only dissenting voice preventing statehood).

Will AIPAC be labelled a "foreign lobbying entity," as JFK requested in 1963, but has since never been brought up again? Not holding my breath for that one either....

The "POS" spent the first minutes of his speech insulting all the past Presidents in the room by stating how they "sold out the US..." That's rich, Donald. He seems incapable of even faking a sobering mindset, even in those hallowed halls under a painting of Pres George Washington. Sounded like the 'empire simps' cheered...

Odd seeing 19-21 yr olds pulling in 4-8 million. Sanders' son bought his o-line new cars.....and would wear $20,000 necklace during the game. There are going to be extremes, and I can't say what is best or even fair compensation, but it is right now--excessive money.
