Thanks for making me aware this.

The final paragraphs (not posted earlier) are my favorite.

Unfortunately this tendency toward willing suspension of disbelief on the right is mirrored by a tendency toward cynicism on the left. The further right you go, the more likely you are to find people who will support Trump no matter what he says. The further left, the more likely you’ll find people ready to abandon any candidate who doesn’t precisely align with a 20-point ideological agenda.

Politics is an act of faith; it often requires watching for signs and portents, however faint...

Maybe I'm a dum dum but I had no idea Bin Laden took out the twin towers because of US support of Israel.

And 95% of Congressmen were clapping literally as hard as they could. I get supporting Israel but it seemed almost fake if that makes sense? Like Israel is not just an ally but that's my daddy.

So... I wish this didn't exist. The whole thing. 

 

But as an observer, I'll say what I said when this most recent activity escalated last year:

"I hope it was worth it."

I have some minor Israeli relationships. When it comes to info and how to action it, they are way ahead of the entire world.  They're not going to win by brut force, but they really do play 3D chess with a bunch of info. It's impressive.

I'm for peace... Real peace.

I’m certain their actions in the last week or so are totally worth it. They’ve taken out hezbollah in a matter of like 10 days and are now moving to Houthis. It’s highly impressive and good for their prospects of peace and good for the region. And good for the western world in general. 

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Israel has definitely had a good couple weeks. No denying it.

Just don't want another war to break out and US tax dollars to have pay for it. Netanyahu got us into Iraq.

Daily Texan is the board with that thread. The DT threads on Rittenhouse or Daniel Perry or George Floyd or Jan 6 or COVID or really anything that lands in a culture war are routinely cess pools that feature loads of far right demagoguery disguised as """citizen journalism""". And I linked to magicsoccerspray, not Bevo?

Took me to Bevo. I can’t find anything MSS posted that suggests that poster thinks an expansion of what Israel is doing is good and should be encouraged. I could be wrong, but it’s not an indictment of Daily Texas, and any references to Rittenhouse or Covid or Floyd are irrelevant. Why don’t you link thet MSS said / linked here.

This is the post I mentioned that is literally titled ".... and the virtue of escaltion". It's endorsed by an election truther former congressman that now works for Palantir. This op-ed is advocating for escalation to knock out Iran in an all-out war. That's fucking insane and will lead to global conflict. But rah rah Israel! or something.

Further (I didn’t know I submitted reply) I go back to my earlier comment. What was he trying to convey?  Probably that Nasrallah is dead. I haven’t read the article, and probably won’t. Your attempt to connect this to Rittenhouse supporters and anti-Floyd people is so weak it’s laughable. I’m still waiting for your point here.

Dude.  A 9 yr old with rudimentary gear can do that.  Trump takes all of his calls on an unsecured cellular line, including when he was POTUS.  Bibi, on the other hand, is at least smart enough to know that every word he says to Trump is on what is functionally an open channel, so I suspect he's more wise and deliberate about what he says.

and this, dear reader, is how Rex is made. This is the last paragraph from the op-ed (that earlier cites jared fucking kushner as an authority on Middle East peace):

Quote

Israel has now shown its most important ally a better way. By escalating the conflict with Hezbollah, there are now strategic opportunities to go after Iran’s nuclear program. If Harris and Biden were wise, they would shelve their strategy of endless ceasefire talks and instead embrace Israel’s escalation. Because the best way to end a regional war is to win it. 

The article is just pure warmongering and advocating for State on State violence, specifically targetting nuclear programs as a step of escalation.

My point is that the very fine posters such as yourself and FattyFlatty and JohnnySack/FrankDrebin and the rest of the illuminaries have a really fucking bad habit of finding the most reactionary and dogshit sources you can, and then catastophizing off of each story you could find for eachother. It's like visiting my grandma's retirement community when fox news is on. Nobody is actually paying attention to what's being said and who's sourcing it (just like you don't actually read the shit you're defending), they just know they're BIGMAD. I used rittenhouse and perry and the myriad police brutality protests/riots as a historical example of yall doing that over and over and over and over and over on the Daily Texan board.

I’ve never linked one article on any of these topics. I’m not going to read an article on why Israel ought to escalate because I don’t give a fuck, and your goofy chef’s kiss isn’t gonna shame me. I suggest you ask MSS why he linked that particular article instead of demonizing a whole board like a chicken shit Fantana or Ana would. I suspect he’ll tell you it was for the headline. Perhaps he really believes the content, and y’all could have a discussion. But no, you’d rather get political. It’s never-ending with some of you and you’re perhaps the worst offender.

Motherfucker, the content of the op-ed itself is polticial lol. They shouldn't even be posting that in the "news" forum. There's no news in the op-ed. It's arguing that the Biden administration is not doing enough and is missing its chance to bomb bomb bomb Iran.

 

There's no room to have that policy discussion on the Daily Texan, because it's fucking political by nature. Don't get mad at me for pointing out the turds that other people are pinching off in the punch bowl.

I don’t want to argue anymore. It’s cluttering up the thread. I’ll just say this: there’s something wrong with my phone on two fronts. First, when I get a notification to view a reaction to one of my posts or your link, I often have to scroll up to see which post garnered the reaction. I repeat, your link did not take me to what you intended.  Second, my iPhone simply will not load the social media linked in the post. This happens to probably about 1/4 of what people link. I don’t know why. 

Would you like to discuss the content, or do you want to continue to just be gobsmacked?
