Agreed 100%

This is why I have repeatedly called @statsman unserious on this topic. I have seen this pattern with him repeat itself like a dozen times on this topic alone. He and so many posters on this board simply immediately take this kind of thing at face value, declare a win, and move on. After questions arise about the legitimacy of the information presented, they just go silent until the next piece of agitprop comes out they can glom onto. A lot of the time it's posters that have shown good critical thinking ability with regard to other topics, as well, which only makes it that much more infuriating.

Not the worst hire y'all could make, but I'm not sure I'd be too happy about it.

Famine. He means famine.

From what I'm reading it seems like a raid and a gunfight, nothing was bombed. They killed some Hamas combatants and this guy. I imagine the hospital is still usable after everything is cleaned up.

I think we'd just like them not to obliterate them. Going in and killing a terrorist while leaving the hospital intact/usable seems like fair game to me. Seems like what happened here.

I always find it interesting how this logic is always applied to Israel but never to Palestinians. They have been the victims of constant Israeli-backed terror in the West Bank, a place where by all rights they have absolutely no right to be (legally or morally), with thousands being killed or forcibly displaced from their homes and no one bats an eye. When an Israeli sniper takes out unarmed protestors on the other side of the Gaza fence and then cheers about it before uploading it to social media, or they use peacefully protesting Gazans as target practice and then brag to reporters about how many knees they took out that day, no one bats an eye. When an Israeli sniper (who again, should not even be where he is) domes a 9 year old kid from 300 yards away after he was simply near a protest that had already dispersed, no no bats an eye. Those people don't have the right to self defense. Only Israelis have that right. If they fight back they're branded terrorists and their lives are subsequently forfeit. In other words, Israelis are killed. Palestinians just die. An unfortunate casualty of "war". The military mission of Israel is to cleanse Gaza of Palestinians, one way or another. @Anastasis has said this before, but not one single motherfucker would flinch if Israel Mossad'd the fuck out of every Hamas leader in Gaza and elsewhere in the world. Hell, I'd fucking cheer. But there's no evidence they're even trying to do that. I can tell you one thing you absolutely do not need to do in order to take out Hamas, and that is destroy Gaza's civilian structure entirely, and make the place unlivable. Funny thing is, though, that's exactly what's happening. It's great how the goalposts have shifted from "No WAY is Israel deliberately targeting civilians" to "Well they HAVE to deliberately target civilians". But we all knew that was coming. Do they need to get rid of Hamas? Of course, I wish Hamas would wither and die and never come back, but that's not the fucking goal. Bibi needs Hamas in order to justify retaining power. If there is no enemy to provide that justification, he and his bloodthirsty Likud brethren lose power and he likely enjoys a significant part of the rest of his life in prison. He's now gone too far and has to either back off or finish the job by killing them all or ejecting them all from Gaza somehow. Yeah no, you clearly don't. All the weird, Christofascist bullshit about how scary Muslims are you got run off from the CR thread for posting clearly illustrates that. Let's not dabble in lies, just say what you really feel. "Nothing can be done" is a bullshit sentiment, you just don't want anything to be done.

Came here to post this. It's incredible how dumb she is.

Gonzaga as a 5 seed is hysterical

The graph is based on minutes per game lost which to me seems like a pretty damn good indicator of how important a player is to a given team.

Interesting graph to ponder whenever KU fans or ESPN tries to push the narrative that they've had more injury problems than anyone else. Texas at about the same line as them, UH even higher. Looks like Tech has had the worst injury luck of the top 25 by a mile and among the worst in the nation, and we still managed to tie for 3rd in conference. Really a testament to how tough this conference is and what a battle each game is.

It's not fair to lump these all together. John Oliver and Jon Stewart run circles around Bill Maher.

I would say it's incredible that they think anyone would fall for this, but the reality is plenty of people do fall for it.

Fuck Baylor

The latter likely gets to ponder his actions as PM in prison after he loses power and yet people are still going to try and applaud his actions.

UH too good baby

It's certainly cool to win a tourney like that but the trade off is risking injuries before the Big Dance for tourney hardware that nobody really cares about in the end. That said, with the round robin gone I'd kinda be in favor of the conference tourney deciding the conference champ now.

Pretty good half considering how it started. Would be nice to win but just no more injuries please god damn

Holding him out as a precaution is smart, it doesn't matter if Houston beats the shit out of us today, need him healthy for the big dance

No Warren Washington AND no Darrion Williams tonight for Tech lol it might get ugly

This seems made up. Both games are prime time. UH/TT is the earlier game because we played the early games yesterday, not because BU/ISU is a more compelling matchup.

He's doing drive bys in the CR that'll do it every time

Need someone to run in here and press the antisemitism button, it's been too long.

Terrorism? That's what I would call what Israel does in the West Bank at least. Probably doesn't fit, definitionally at least, in Gaza since it is retaliatory.
