  1. Oh shit I remember that guy.
  2. The post was bloviating nonsense, a long-winded way of letting us know that he's firmly pro ethnic cleansing because "people have to pick sides". The idea that you have to either support the expulsion of all Jews from Israel or support a Jewish ethno-state is straight up bullshit. It's actually just completely baby-brained shitposting. There's a whole bunch of mental gymnastics and convenient blind spots you have to set up for yourself to be pro-Israel as it is: an ethno-apartheid state, rather than Israel as it should be: the genuine bastion of democracy they claim to be but actually aren't even close to and never have been in reality. I place myself in the latter category of being "pro-Israel". I firmly believe it should and can exist as a true haven for both Palestinians and Israelis. It also isn't helpful to pretend they just hate each other and that's that. Palestinians, for the most part, learn to hate Israelis. Israelis, for the most part, are taught to hate Palestinians. It is a subtle but profound difference. It's a plain and simple lie that they hate each other because of each other's immutable characteristics.
  3. This might be the most astonishingly stupid post I've ever read on Surly, and I've read a fair amount of Rex's posts.
  4. What do you think per capita means, dipshit?
  5. This dude interestingly comes up with the same lies about his background and family that Chrispy did, and talks in the exact same way.
  6. I'd bet my entire net worth you're lying about almost everything to do with your family.
  7. Yeah I know I was making a tasteless joke.
  8. Wanting to kill UN workers is a pretty baseline Zionist take if we're being real 😉
  9. Yep, all good points. I'm mostly skeptical about any of this being good news for peace in the long run. They seem to be barrelling toward total war on multiple fronts.
  10. The argument that what they're doing violates international law and that they often act without accountability is a legitimate one, but I don't really have a problem with what they did here. Minimal collateral damage. Another thing I've been thinking about is I'm honestly not sure what this accomplishes in the long run. Obviously they spent a lot of time and money planning this, and it gives Hezbollah something to think about for sure, but ultimately what does it accomplish? Are they trying to provoke open warfare with Lebanon or just thumb their noses at Hezbollah? I'm honestly unsure and I'd be curious to hear others' perspectives.
  11. Pagers and short-range two-way radios are relatively simple devices. It would comparatively easy for Mossad to control the manufacturing process on something like that as a single source vs. say, a laptop. We're talking orders of magnitude easier, even if they knew where all the separate components were being manufactured. They'd get made somewhere.
  12. Best wishes and swift recovery to Bob and Sheila.
  13. I'm sure it's true, that's the first thing I thought when I saw the story..."Mossad probably owns the supplier". It would be too difficult to do otherwise probably. e: I mean from a leaks standpoint. Getting explosives in those devices without someone chirping about it would be next to impossible if they weren't actually doing the manufacturing themselves I think.
  14. Idk what's wrong today specifically but ever since I fucked his wife he's been a bit moody The funny part is I literally hit the post button about the same time he did and I didn't even read his post until now. Rent free in that dipshit's head for all time apparently.
  15. That was my thought. The funeral part just seemed accidental.
  16. Come on man, do we really need to go to Islamophobia land now? This shit is cool enough, don't ruin it.
  17. Damn I've been busy and just now seeing this. Much as I have my disagreements with Israel, this is some genius shit.
  18. That fucking rules. There's no better feeling than needling a piece of shit poker player. NTA
  19. No problem man, thanks for engaging in good faith.
  20. No, man, Hamas are bloodthirsty terrorist fucks that deserve to die for what they did. If you think criticism of Netanyahu and the Israeli government's actions is "Hamas are angels and fuck Jews" then I don't know how to have a conversation with you. There is literally a mountain of evidence out there to read if you want to actually give a shit that suggests Netanyahu has not only purposefully propped up Hamas for years, but also that he sat on actionable intel that Oct. 7th was coming and did nothing. He has steadfastly refused an independent inquiry into his actions prior. These accusations are almost entirely coming from within Israel but hey, go off king. I never said Hamas doesn't use civilians as human shields, of course they do. There is also hard, empirical evidence that the IDF frequently uses Palestinians as human shields, but the same standard is never applied to them.
  21. This latest conflict literally started because Netanyahu effectively used his own people as human shields, and the IDF use Palestinians as human shields as well.
  22. I hope you're being sarcastic because SEC refs have most of the legendary screw jobs in history under their belts
