    Fuck off. The guys attributing this are mass murderers, who probably killed half a dozen kids before breakfast.

    Very convenient for Netanyahu's election.

    Not surprised you're a supporter of terrorism. I suppose if your family were onboard you'd still feel the same?

    Oh, come on; boring-ass Fox News can call Netanyahu-hate terrorism.
    That's zero effort.
    Tell Rick he also hates birthday parties, Christmas, the sweet taste bud, and the emotion of joy itself.
    Spice it up! You're a fucking troll! Put some elbow grease into it.

    Yes. Suck the propaganda from Netanyahu's cock for all it's worth.

    The story here appears to be that a passenger (who makes his living as a plumber) strolled down the isle, defying gravity on nosediving plane, broke into the cockpit, got the pilot in chokehold, and then while standing there actually flew the plane back to level in a feat of incredible airmanship.

    After it was all over, he remained in his bloody clothes for over 14 hours so that he could appear wearing them in a feature with indicted war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Am I missing anything?

    Facts are stubborn things. They don't really change based on your vantage point.

    The facts don't but your perception of them certainly does. To me, the Apollo moon landings are a fact. To many others, they are a government conspiracy. To me, it is a fact that the Confederate states broke away to defend slavery. To Muad Dib, it was a fact that slavery had almost nothing to do with it.

    And that is the case with almost everything, except those things you have personally experienced. (And even there, your perception and/or your memory can fool you.) Reality is objective, but our perception of it is subjective.

    That why you will never convince someone of anything if that person's mind is not open to the possibility of what you are saying. Epistemology clearly shows us that there is almost no such thing as absolute proof of anything. Any facts you can throw at me and that I don't want to accept can be explained away as lies, ignorance, misinterpretations, or conspiracy theories. I believe the current popular term is "fake news".

    IDK Rick, multiple things can be true at the same time. Maybe this was a legitimate foiled terrorist plot AND exploited by desperate indicted war criminal Netanyahu as much as he can, including parading the blood stained hero around? :shrug:

    Ah, the old "any criticism of Israel is antisemitic" canard.
    It's a scare tactic. One that used to work on me.
    But then, around the time Ilhan Omar got censured by her own party for criticizing Israeli influence on American politics, I realized what a load of bullshit that was.

    I realize the distinction is perhaps too fine of an intellectual point for you to understand, but I don't think there is anyone on the board who "hates Jews". We thoroughly disapprove of what Israel is doing to the Palestinians, but that is not at all the same thing. When God condemned the evil behaviour of various wicked kings of the southern kingdom, does that mean that he "hated Jews"?

    You might as well say that we "hate Americans" because we disapprove of the policies of Donald Trump.

    Whereas there are a myriad of reasons.

    It's more actual mild dislike tho.

    After the events of the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks, I requested a Quran from CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, and they sent it to me, free of cost, and I read it. A beautiful book, with many wonderful sentiments about peace, love, compassion, justice for the wronged, uplifting the poor, healing the sick, welcoming the stranger, essentially the kinds of sentiments you'd find in any traditional Christian Bible.

    It's people who make up the face of the religion. You certainly have violent, hateful Muslims, those who believe that it is their duty to cleanse the Earth of people they see as infidels, subhuman. You also have peaceful Muslims, people who took the message that they were to represent the hands of God here on Earth, to do what those wonderful sentiments encouraged them to do. So it comes down to the person, just like it does in every religion.

    Right now, the face of Christianity as envisioned by Evangelicals is what we're seeing in the US: bigotry, hate, corruption, greed, pestilence, death, the scourge of white nationalism, a poison drenched veneer on the blade edge of fascism. A system's purpose is what it does, and for anyone who isn't awash in the cult of this current administration, they can see that what this version of Christianity does is murder people in the name of their god. They project themselves onto the face of Muslims because they can't bear to look at themselves and see what they truly are, and so you get threads like this from a provocateur who has no actual belief despite protestations to the contrary, and it shows in that person's body of work on this board. Grapes don't come from thornbushes.

    Speaking of September 11th. Now, I don't wanna put on a tinfoil hat, but Netanyahu did the Fox News toe-suck circuit at the time, and it always seemed to me like he was 1. jealous of having a 9/11 as a political bludgeon 2. desperately trying to use ours to invade everybody.

    Everyone I brought this up to at the time hand-waved it off with "oh, that's just Bibi. We'll yank his leash, and he'll settle down. Ho ho! Tee hee!".

    Can't prove with laboratory or courtroom precision that that 9/11 didn't create 10/7, but man....it don't look good with what evidence we do have.
    Like, if we ever fill in the holes of the puzzle, it's not likely to make him look like a fuckin' Disney character.

    Once you decide that you are God's chosen and only you understand His will, nothing you do is "bad." It's everyone else who's bad.

    It's certainly safe to say you hate every American who voted for Prez. As far as the Jews, if you support Palestine you definitely hate the Jews.

    China arms Iran, and Trump likes Xi, so what does that make him?

    Wrong. Disaprove of what they did, yes. Hate them? No way. My best friend, and two of my sisters, voted for Trump.

    Wrong. God loves everyone, and desires the salvation of everyone. Wasn't there someone who said, "I did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them"? If you are a disciple of that man, then you cannot possibly be in favour of the massive killing of Palestinians by the Jews, any more than you can be in favour of Hamas' October 7 terrorist attack on Israel.

    Your batting average for deciding what other people think isn't doing very well today...

    TheLonelyShart is no kind of Christian at all. Or man, for that matter.

    Israel is defending itself from terrorists. No one wants innocent people killed anywhere, but Palestinians who support Hamas are fair targets.
