Something kicking off in Israel

[doubloon]

And by that same token it was proven many times over that the nonreligious can't even tolerate the religious and when they feel empowered enough they go on sprees to genocide them as much as possible.

Sadly true. There exists on both sides people who can and do accept others for what they are and interact with them without trying to kill or convert them all. There are extremes on both sides (all sides?) that feel it is their mission to make everyone see their way is the only way.

Besides the teachings of John to not let unbelievers into your house there is also the teaching that people outside your house are not yours to judge. Do business with them if you want but don't partake in their evil ways and don't let them poison your churches. It's god's job to judge them and sort them out. But they can't help themselves, neither the religious or the nonreligious, they have to have validation as the cost of suffering to others. The goat parable is 100% on point.

No... and also- the word you are looking for- and you may not have been exposed to it- is "Proselytizing."

Just google: "What are the non-proselytizing religions?"

We really can't have a meaningful discussion if you post objectively incorrect information, and then I teach you what religion is, line for line.

You have to enter the conversation with some average level of knowledge on the subject matter, otherwise this is like trying to teach an Ancient Mayan what snow is when he doesn't know what ice is.

And this is how people win arguments in their own mind. it's the defense of the indefensible.

Blow smoke, throw chaff, misdirect, anything but actual content.

And, of course, the coup de grâce, "It's not possible to have a meaningful conversation with someone who isn't fully indoctrinated and brainwashed into my way of thinking.".

‘Judeo Christianity’, lol.

Judeo-Christian originally meant "Jews for Jesus," a very small group.

After WWII it was part of the weird messaging campain that got forcefully inserted into the global dialogue.

When they stole the lush and beautiful Jaffa Orange Groves they "made the desert bloom."

When they murdered and stole, and forced the locals from their homes they were "a people without a land taking a land without a people."

When they forced them into the concentration camp in Gaza and lobbed bombs at the tallest buildings, deliberately targeting noncombatant civilians, they were the "most moral military."

When they declared themselves to be a violent expansionist ethnostate and a Caliphate for the Jewish People they were "the only democracy in the Middle East."

...and when they were proving themselves to be demonic and doing the work of the Devil on Earth, they were "Judeo Christian."

It's called "Hasbara," which means "explaining" but it comes from Pravda and the old Commie "press." Essentially, whatever they message out, you know they are doing the opposite.

You're not making any sense though, and you're asking me to teach you things that you should just google.

There is nothing you can teach anyone. You don't have the knowledge or the skills.

Get back to me when you have some actual content.

So a couple days ago Trump gave Hamas an ultimatum that they were to release all hostages by noon today or they would have hell to pay. They released three.

So what's gonna go down and when?

The Israelis don't have to attack right at 12:01 PM. They can always wait for when the timing is right for them. A delay of as much as a few days might cause HAMAS to let their guard down. It's a foolish thought to believe that the Israelis won't keep their promise.

There's something psychological with the silence of a long wait before an expected attack. Sometimes, the defenders grow more fearful. The imagination can be a powerful weapon.

Personally, I think that the Israelis need to play "El Deguello" over loudspeakers stretched across the border of the Gaza strip before launching a new offensive.

For your listening enjoyment...

Four dead bodies ought to be enough of an excuse to launch an offensive anyway.

Si, I'm surprised it's only four or I guess we only know about four. I also don't know the quality of the information posted, just something I found.

There will definitely be more as they get further down the list.

Did all the Chinese and illegals leave CA and take a short vacation in Israel?

A Houthi missile just got through Israeli defense and struck within Ben Goyon International Airport. Didn't hit any major structures or tarmacs but did did close the airport for a little while for cleanup and there were some injuries.

And there will be retaliation…

Yay!!!

 

[billt]

Yemen is the poorest and shittest country in the Middle East. The joint shouldn't be too difficult for Israel to take out.

 

[UKDslayer]

But just on Houthis/Yemen or Iran? US role?

 

[SilentStalkr]

don’t get your hopes up. Just on Houthis, all US will do is help with Intel, for now.

Oh, well also replenish the weapons and then pay them for the privilege.
