Agree. Western Europe way before hitler were massive dicks to Jews yet we tend to forget that historical fact. I mean, Jews moved to the Levant to get the fuck away from Europe. They preferred to have to deal with Palestinian issues than monarchies and midget authoritarians with industrial complexes behind them.

Agree, but I think this one hit and spread out quicker than anticipated. Client had the track go over her and very little rain. Feeder bands 30 miles east were causing flooding. Solution- Print a map, get a sharpie and the storm track can be whatever you want it to be. Maybe, but you just don't want floods to move your trophies. I call S Texas as a TS. Yeah, I am an optimist.

Yeah, agree. I had a feeling you would come along and correct me.

Cool, your Surly 10 executive assistant will pick you up Thursday in your new Lambo. The key to the humidor is under the seat. Have her drop you off at the Surly Tailgate next Saturday. Immamac will be your personnel bartender/sea monster.

Yes and yes. But the issue is external elements don't really give a big fuck. For most it goes into the Would be Nice category of concerns. Maybe the start is tell people stop taking the bible so literally. But that is not ever going to happen. So need to look at other areas. Economy is #1. Fuckers have jobs to damn busy to sit smoking shisha and plot how to blow shit up.

Dude, it is Surly. We can do something better than that for a name. Yep, fuck this POS. Long time coming. This has been a master class of removing the C-C of your enemy performed by the IDF.

Mines? DMZ. EOD, another mean mother fucker, Another forgotten place littered with mines is North Africa. Battles went back and forth, mines were everywhere. There are different doctrines for mines. Russian, mine everything (Fuck it Sergei, drop some more). NATO, mine as moving and defense. Know where they are for the most part (not artillery or air fired). Guerillas mine where moving or to deny movement. Don't get me wrong, Bosnia/Ukraine are heavily mined. Always was very careful in Bosnia and I still would be. Those fuckers tend to stay around.

get one of our MS Paint experts on it. Or call the artist you know. 6 years old and my brother gave me a big ass Presidente beer at dinner one night. Since they I always wanted a beer with my mofongo.

Then and Now. Same uniforms. Same lubrcants in those vehicles.

Not my intent at all. I just don't recall much of that criticism. History changes. There will be a two state solution. Today there was a group of 90 nations who are going to convene a meeting moving towards that. Head of it is Norway's FM and Saudi FM is backing it. Baseline is the 2002 protocols. So it is a reset Israel agreed to already. Hamas/Fatah fucked it up. Who knows what will happen. In 1939 many dreamed of a Jewish state. Few thought it would happen. Espen Barth Eide told The Associated Press that “there is a growing consensus in the international community from Western countries, from Arab countries, from the Global South, that we need to establish a Palestinian Authority, a Palestinian government, a Palestinian state — and the Palestinian state has to be recognized.” Why Norway? (my bold) Norway is the guarantor of the 1993 Oslo Accords, hailed as a breakthrough in the decades-long conflict between Arabs and Jews, which created the Palestinian Authority and set up self-rule areas in the Palestinian Authority. Eide said more than 30 years later, Israel’s “occupation” is continuing, and there there are no negotiations leading to a final settlement and an independent Palestinian state — which led to Norway’s decision in May to recognize a Palestinian state. Now, 149 of the U.N.’s 193 member nations have recognized a Palestinian state. Eide urged all countries “to contribute to universal recognition” and strengthen Palestinian institutions so they live up to the expectations of people in the West Bank and are prepared to return to Gaza: “We want one Palestine, not different Palestines,” he said. https://apnews.com/article/un-norway-palestinian-state-saudi-arabia-eu-c9116cdb5f23574e668de65f6a7aca71 Bad analogy? Give me a good one. Only one I can think of is the Greek/Turkish population exchange.

And quick note after Fantana's post. He should read the book as well. It gives a good look into how evil the anti-Israel dicks are, how well organized, how committed, and how they do use the civilians. They hide in plain site for the most part. It would be a great bathroom book for @Brisketexan. He could go through it after a few late night Taco Bell visits. @Brian Fantana you mention Western Media. Do you think Al Jazeera does not push an agenda? The Hamas leaders live in Doha. AJ is owned by the government of Qatar. Good, independent media does not really exist. From anyside, so read them all and as you said, go gray.

Cuz you touch yourself.

No it is not. so ask WHY do they fire rockets? Israel has Iron Dome, backed by plenty of US support. I am great with that. It sucks they need it. And in the past they have taken these systems out but assasinating the humans behind bringing them in. Israel has worked with Sudan (a Muslim nation) and Egypt (Muslim and Arab) to interdict the crap coming from Iran. Syria, well we all want Al Asad to fall into a deep as hole. Sucks he is holding on. Read it is what I suggested. I did not think you had, and few have. I read it when working on a legal project about the use of force in Afghanistan. We learned that fire and forget drones pissed off more Afgans than did good and adopted parts of the early Israeli liquidation program. Yeah, i know, a non-threatening word for blowing the shit out of an asshole. To take out a launcher location when identified (and it did not have to be in active firing mode) it was blown up. But it was a hell fire vs. a 1000 lb bomb. One is targeted, the other flattens a block. I don't see anyone saying Israel should not retaliate. They, and me are saying, do it more tactically. I mean, don't tell people to go to a certain safe area, and then bomb it cuz there was a small group of HAMAS dicks. They are everywhere. I concede it. Shoot them in the face. Is that not why your infantry is there? Do you snipe with a 120MM tank gun?

I was hoping we sold dreams. Like Texags.

Like the Seminole Indians. We promise we will let you come on back, just let us build on it for a few years. We will even have casinos for you.

WE stole cannon and bombarded an English City on Colonial Soil. Ya know, Boston. We attacked a seperate colony. Ya know, Modern Canada. We raided British commerce at sea. Quite a bit. Leadership yes, able, well in some areas. There was quite a bit of speculation, corruption, etc. Have you ever read history and sat back and thought about it? And I offered a reading suggestion, a book that is pretty Pro Israel and I agree with the premise. You did not comment on it. You also did not say if you agreed the Palestinians should not be there.

The American Colonies went through a lot less, and we revolted. Building a state with competent home rule requires a bit of time and some fucking breathing room. Maybe the ability to make your own trade deals? Purchase your own food? I get it. You don't want the Palestinians to disappear. You just want them to disappear from Gaza/West Bank.

Where do I sign up and can Sucre come to the office with me? I assume we are working offsite 90% of the time at a beer garden with hotties. Oh, and also, what do we do?

Holy shit. What was the payout on that one.

Lives a few miles down river from Edwina. But careful, her brother is quite the jealous type.

I was damn good at Summer Games on my Commodore 128. Should I list that? Oh, and in college I could roll a joint one handed when driving on a road trip or walking to campus. See, those are skills I want to see listed. I might hire that dude. Glee Club? GTFO A-Aron

User name kind of checks out, and so does your last known location. So heading to Knock ville for the weekend?

As long as they are occupied they do not have to answer to the world. Make them behave if they want aid. We do that to kim jong dick fuck. we were doing that to Iran. We do it to Venezuela. Why do we give in to Gaza? Cuz they can rightfully play the occupied status. Look, no one on this board bitched if Israel blew up a building full of Hamas/Hezbollah/IRG in Lebanon, Gaza, West Bank or Syria. I think the discussion is don't fucking hit the hospital. Hold your troops to international standards. Don't bend to their level. Hold individuals who do bend down to the Hamas level, desecrate bodies, rape, etc accountable like the US and UK did to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and currently the Canadians and Aussies are doing to theirs for crimes committed by individuals. And what Taliban and Iraqi insurgents of the various sects did was atrocious. In Israel's case it has the appearance that this is State sponsored and led.

The Arabs would prefer a safer Palestine than all of them as refugees. They would rather send money in than have them come out. They do not need to while Israel and to a lesser degree the international community (not just the UNRWA, the US has unilateral projects in both the West Bank and Gaza, primary development led by USAID) prop up the governments. They get to scream about injustice in public while cutting deals with Israelis in Europe. It feeds the street so the focus is on that vs. they corrupt nature of their own governments. It is also important to note we toss around the word Arab like we do Latino. There is a major difference among them. A Syrian is not a Yemeni who is not a Algerian who is not an Egyptian but they all talk shit about Israel and hate the Saudis. The Arab nations, led probably by the GCC, could create the utility infrastructure for Gaza and probably turn a profit. But there lies 1 big issue to this that is overlooked. The brain drain. Are there electrical engineers who can maintain something built? With the Israeli control of imports, what port do you use? Ideally it would be based out of Egypt and an overland corridor, but the fear is under the current conditions the Palestinians would go south into the Sinai to escape both Israel and Hamas. There are quite a few aggressive authoritarian states the world, including the US deals with. You could argue under the Likud Israel is led by an authoritarian party. Authoritarian does not mean a dictator. So lets start with Russia. Yep, up until Ukraine we all dealt with them, and some western companies and non-western countries we like continue to do so. India and China. Currently we can add El Salvador under Bukele, Hungary under Orban, South Africa under the ANC in South Africa, Egypt with the fall of the Muslim Brotherhood (Hamas' buddy), etc.... Shit, add the PRI in Mexico. Creating a Palestinian state, as noted, would be a nation against a nation if they attacked. If Hamas is the leadership, well it is still a nation-state. The world would expect them to behave like one. Now they can play the Occupied Territory card all they want with no action against them. take it away from them. Using the Kurds as an example. Post Saddam, though they do no allow Kurdistan to be an independent nation, does give them a lot more say in their day to day lives. Relations really changed. So much that the Kurds saved Iraq's ass from ISIS. Then look at Turkey. They are dicks to the Kurds, so the PKK blows up shit in Turkey. I would prefer to see an independent Kurdistan. But by giving them more of a voice and recognition (there is a US Consulate in Erbil) the animosity in less than one generation has decreased.

Zelensky and Trump meet. Trump tries to go for the power play and stands up straight, looks down at him. Zelensky stares back and says wow, you are tall, but my hands are bigger. Trump fumes and takes it out on a 20 pack of McNuggets his Secret Service agent carries instead of extra ammo.
