Easy, Israelis have been murdering Palestinians since before 1948...poisoning well, bulldozing school children, spraying crops with herbicides, and many many evil deeds...burning and bombing churches...
As to the arch, city officials condemned poor people houses, stole the land and built the arch to glorify them selves, called Urban Renewal.
Irrelevant.

If you're dumb enough to attack someone who has the ability to use overwhelming force against you, you should probably think twice before jumping the fence to murder and kidnap people.

Prior to Oct 7th, Gaza wasn't being invaded.

All they had to do was to stay on their side.

Why do you think israel created Hamas, the leadership lives outside of Palestine so they never get hurt, and yes, prior to Oct 7th, Gaza was being invaded by settlers hiding behind idf soldiers...

TheN the people in Gaza are stupid for following them.

The attack on Israel came at the hands of people in Gaza.

They did so. They killed people and took hostage's. Then killed a bunch of them, too. No one made them do that. They chose to do it.
 
Yes, exactly what Israelis have been doing since 1948...
Israel has been being attacked since day one. All they've done is to respond to it.


For better or worse, Britain got control of that land after WW1. They used it to create Israel. Was their choice. They could have created a Palestinian State instead, but they didn't. Was their call.

You are really missing it, Israel can't be attacked, it's the invader and enslaveor of Palestine and Palestinians.

The Brits owned it. Before that it was the Ottoman Empire.

The Palestinian people haven't had control of it since the time of the bronze age.

They've essentially been little more than renters on the land.

What you seem to want, is for the Brits to have given it to them instead.

Perhaps they should have.
....but for whatever reason, they didn't.

Nothin' we can do about that now.

It'd be like telling you and me and everyone else in America today that we gotta leave because the people who lived here before all of our ancestors got here, would like to have it back due to the fact that some of our ancestors killed some Indians prior to 1776.

Oh well. Too late now. You don't/can't hold it ? Then you don't really own it. Sorry 4. Time to get over it.
.....or figure out a way to take it back.
.....but that requires attacking Israel.
.....and if attacked, you gotta expect Israel to defend itself.



The fact is, Israel got created. Time to learn to deal with it.
.....and same applies to them too, as far as having to hold it to own it.

Let's see what happens with this talk of cutting their aid.

If Trump actually does that, what will your new complaint about Israel be?

Just askin', as it seems like no matter the thread, you find a way to turn the subject to Israel.


My opinion is that both sides over there seem kinda f'ed up.
....but with all the attacks over the decades, along with all the suicide bombings, I can kinda see why Israel takes the hard stance on things that they do. They've been being attacked since day one.



Israel doesn't have the cleanest of hands, but neither do the "river to the sea" people have clean hands.
....but both sides portray themselves as nothing less than Saints
.......and we all know that that sure as f' ain't true.
 


Here's another truth.

As far as I can tell, the majority of the Administration is just interested in fighting over who defines the Republican party after Trump and seizing the narrative ground post-midterms. A lot of behind-the-scenes infighting is about this.

All the while Democrats are hellbent on "structural reform" and "accountability" which is a nice way of saying they intend to tear down our Republic and jail us.

Republicans need to wake up. There will be no Republican party left to lead if you are fighting each other over who inherits it, while the Democrats dismantle our country. Start defending our nation instead. Stop the coup.
 
The early voting analysis showed a 15 point shift to the blue, consistently, everywhere, when in-person voting starting.

At no point did any of the early vote analysts call out fraud. They were coming up with theories for high propensities voting on Election Day, something I disagreed with strongly behind the scenes.

I’m not ruling out the possibility of fraud, but the results were consistent with what early vote showed.
 
Congratulations to Iran for Successfully Implementing a Regime Change in Israel and the United States Without Using Drones or Missiles.

Here are some statistics from the midterms, one of which is that, for the U.S. House, the number of Republican voters is about the same as 2022 but the number of Democratic voters increased by about 20 million:

 


Striking voting patterns: Texas Republicans cast more votes for the Appeals Court seat than the US Senate.

And in Georgia, Republicans cast more votes for the Ag Commissioner than the US Senate seat.

Same pattern in Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina and Arizona.

BUT in Nevada you see what is expected, and they did not have a US Senate race this year.

Special thanks to Jeff O'Donnell for finding these patterns. Help him out at his give send go link at his X account

That does not surprise me. Paxton was a terrible candidate. I didn't vote straight ticket and I'm quite sure I wasn't the only one.
 
Data Republican nails it


🚨🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 16: HOW THE MIDTERMS WERE PULLED OFF 🚨

Among today's talk of voter fraud, a critical role is overlooked: the importance of NGOs in early voting.

Below, I show the receipts where NGOs directly take a role in making the midterms happen.

It's been a long week, and I'm too tired to type up a summary.

Just know the two main points:

Republicans have an institutional blindness. They believe getting voters is all about branding and messaging. They pay enormous sums to consultants and TV ads and have endless conferences on what the right "message" is.

Democrats, meanwhile, have built an entire and expensive institutional machinery around getting people physically to the polls. And they were more motivated in 2026 than any other year.

I do NOT deny the existence of voter fraud. Saying the data doesn't show that others claim to show, is not equivalent to saying there is no fraud.

As I've said in several posts today, the election system in the United States is structurally set up such that citizenship verification is an honor system. The biggest swings in 2026 were among young people and Hispanics.

And 2026 was a concerted effort by NGOs like none other. Watch them in their own words how they pulled it off:

 
Neither Talarico nor Paxton are/were fir to represent the great State of Texas IMO. I didn't vote for either of them.
