It's posts like this that highlight your towering intellect, just call people names and let them suffer from your inherent brilliance.
Odd that you continue to call out people you disagree with (including me) as "fascists". Maybe if you look up that word, fascist, you would see this as part of the definition:
"A fascist is a follower of a political philosophy characterized by authoritarian views and a strong central government — and no tolerance for opposing opinions."
See that "no tolerance for opposing opinions"? That's you. It seems like the people who post here, who continue to, despite having different opinions than yours and being subjected to your "wit", are actually more respectful of others' opinions, i.e., less fascist, than you.
Didn’t you previously write that you thought I must have a Star of David tattooed on my dick?
Fuck all the way off, please
I think you’re being willfully ignorant. I defy you to cite anything I’ve ever written that defends Bibi or the settlements.
Again and again I ask you simply, why single out Israel for your opprobrium? Are you willing to explain that without the usual deflection?
For the life of me I cannot understand your out of control anger about Israel. Even if it is a fascist apartheid state, isn’t the world full of them? Isn’t America one? Yet here you are banging on about only Israel for whatever reason I can’t tell. It’s like you feel Israel is somehow personally tainting you as a Jew.
Try being an out lesbian in Saudi Arabia and let me know how that goes. Post some links to your commentary about that situation please or about gays being jailed in Nigeria.or being executed in Iran..
You know I’m lying how?
Well sorry I was so baseless personal. I’m pretty sure my post was in response to you stating a had a heartless scumbag position.
I had you figured for a dry drunk, a rage a holic who’s on the wagon. But your memory lapses leads me to believe you’re actually still drinking.
Let me see if I have this right. You don’t see the kids that much and you hardly know your grandkids, eh? I mean who wants to spend much time around an old fool who has to be right about everything?
Well, glad to hear you’re Jewish. And what exactly does that inherently make you an expert on? Israel? War? Conflict resolution? (Hah!)
Let me ask you this. What do you suppose has happened to the women who were kidnapped? I’m guessing a fair number have been sold to brothels or are Hamas sex slaves. See Boko Haram.
What if one of them was your niece?
That’s cool. I can live with having a heartless scumbag position. You mistake me for someone who cares about what you think.
But how do you live with being such a boring unimaginative person who can’t manage an original opinion?
And who obviously drinks a lot, if not too much
Nah, I worked on that rag 50 years ago, I have no ego building around it, never did, it was just a job. Also, ahem, “Optics and Spectroscopy”, and “The Soviet Journal of Nuclear Physics” at the same time
I guess I’m not interested in a wide range of politics over the internet, don’t we all already know what the Conservative agenda is? I know about abortion restrictions and Moms for Liberty but I don’t need to read about it in some right wing blog
Why would I want to hear more about how great the Federalist Society is or how bad Biden is? How could someone possibly want to read more about that shit, life is too short. In this country, conservatives are entirely about culture wars, they have no other interests, ho hum.
I leave you on this with Mill:”Although it’s not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservatives “
Yes, it’s no coincidence that the middle of a war looks like a true war zone.
Ask yourself this: why are the hostages so important to the Hamas bosses that they’re willing to allow this to happen.?
Given the choice, would you personally release hostages if it meant the end of suffering for your people? If not, why not?
Every single stat I see about the casualties is provided by the Gaza Health Ministry
Yes Israel needs better p.r. that’s for sure. The Hamas rulers are seemingly willing to sacrifice untold numbers of civilians to win the social media war
Where are you getting your numbers for the number of civilians killed? Let me guess, The Hamas News Agency?
It’s not my job to mention the civilian casualties. No one is forgetting about them, the UN is bringing up some sort of resolution and the media is awash with tragic photos and stories.
The calls for an immediate ceasefire, though, specifically ignores the hostages’ plight.
You seem not to actually understand the situation. Hamas didn’t attack the settlers in the West Bank, which would have been understandable.
They attacked defenseless people in a variety of places near Gaza. Stop conflating the issues, in the one there would have been an excuse, there’s none for what they did.
I’ve not seen anywhere that anyone has been fantasizing about killing Palestinians so much as you have.
Release the fucking hostages and this all goes away. What don’t you understand about that
Release the hostages and the bombing stops immediately.
Stop the bombing first and the hostages are history.
Well, gee, ain’t you the cat’s meow. I used to edit the Soviet Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics (for real). And that’s no big fucking deal either but the point is that it is very well known but you never heard of it
Yup, my father worked for the same company from college through retirement, except for his years in WWII. It's almost unheard of these days, as are good pensions.
I was a journalist for 8 years, I worked for the NY Times, though never went into war zones, I was confined to the City Desk. Left it to chase some better paying situations, but I still, although less and less frequently, see bylines by some reporters I worked with back in the day.
Jesus Fucking Christ, I already explained that I Googled "BLM supporting Hamas" and put a link to the first hit that came up. Twice, I explained it, twice. I didn't think about it, I thought it might start a conversation, no clue who the author was, but it was in Newsweek so I thought, what the heck. Your reading comprehension is apparently wanting.
And thanks for the link to the source about the Israeli prisoners who were exchanged.
Hell, no I didn't serve, I proudly evaded the draft in the early 1970's. Maybe you should write Hamas a note asking nicely for the release of the hostages. That is the ones they haven't yet sold out into slavery.
Otherwise, civilians have always paid the price for their governments' warfare. I never claimed it's decent or righteous, it just is what it is. Hamas attacked unarmed civilians, then literally hid behind women's skirts, then used social media to get simps like you to start screaming, "genocide" and "free Palestine".
The guys that got rich running Hamas, really rich, who live in Qatar, are apparently willing to sacrifice Palestinians for their cause. This all leads back to Iran, as you surely know, and the Ayatollahs there couldn't give half a shit about a two state solution.
I go through the NY Times and Washington Post daily. I have subscriptions to the New Yorker, the New York Review of Books, the London Review of Books, and the MIT Technology Review. I go through Raw Story, Huffpost, Daily Kos, etc. regularly during the day. I've never heard of those stupid conservative mags you cited because I think, in general, conservative arguments are specious.
Listen, do me a favor and go fuck yourself.
I’ve noticed that you excel in insulting people and calling names. Original thought and analysis not so much. It’s insecure people like you who can’t tolerate different opinions because you’re unsure of the worthiness of your own.
War is hell, dude, grow the fuck up
I had never heard of Free Beacon before today. Ok, forget it, the dynamic of this board is to pile on people who have different opinions.
Now the 6 of you can go back to the comfort of your little bubble.
Why don't you tell me how many Palestinian children the dudes in Qatar, who have gotten rich running Hamas, are willing to sacrifice for their Iranian overlords?
You seem to not know that there are left-wing Zionists and right-wing Zionists. By lumping them all together, as you do, as "the Zionists" you display a basic lack of comprehension about the situation.
Hey, I get it. You're a grouchy old man who can't tolerate opinions different than your own.
You're determined to be antagonistic, fine. I explained that I picked the first one from a random list on Google, but you want to read more into it.
I very much care what sites I get news from, which is exactly why I didn't know those conservative ones. Still no link from you, though, about the Israeli prisoners that were exchanged, and, yet, you fault my sources.
You knock the links I posted, yet I invited you to Google it yourself to see what else is out there. I have no idea what news sources you'd find credible, I don't pay attention to conservative media, but there certainly seems to be some smoke here:
https://freebeacon.com/democrats/inside-black-lives-matters-long-sordid-history-with-pro-hamas-activists/
I'm hardly obsessed with BLM, it was the myopic moderator of this board who introduced it into this discussion.
Also, no link about the prisoners who Israel is exchanging? I guess we'll just keep taking the Hamas News Agency's word for it.
Otherwise, I agree with you, I think you'd find that we agree on more things political than we disagree on.
I will never defend Netanyahu, I think he’s a slimeball who should have been jailed ages ago. It was heartening to me to see the mass demonstrations against him last year.
You are rationalizing Hamas activity with whataboutism. I have no info about who Israel is exchanging but it would be fair for you to link to your sources. No, you are not defending Hamas but I missed your condemnation of their attacks.
I posted another article from The Daily Beast about the BLM thing, I guess you missed it. We were big supporters of BLM at the time it began but now I don’t know what to make of them

I have no idea who Larry Elder is, but if you Google something like "BLM praise of Hamas attack", you will see a fair number of other references. I chose his article randomly from the top of a list.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/black-lives-matters-chicago-chapter-backtracks-on-hamas-post
I don't know what references you'd find credible, so have at it.
You should be asking Hamas how many Palestinian children they are willing to sacrifice before they release the hostages and surrender. Hamas broke the ceasefire in early October, then broke the truce last week. Maybe just ask them nicer to release those they kidnapped? What do you think has happened to the women who were taken away? I don't think they're being treated like princesses, wherever.
Surely you're a student of history. Ever been to Dresden? This is what happens in a war, thank goodness General Eisenhower didn't have your crowd bugging him to go easy on the Germans in WWII.
You misunderstood the lecturing part. My point has always been simply to treat everyone equally, people who live in glass houses, etc. People who have profited from oppressing others shouldn't be lecturing about the evils of oppression.
Listen, if Hamas had attacked the settlements in the West Bank, I would have gotten it, the settlers are out of control barbarians. But to randomly attack a music festival, etc. is done to send a message and it's not a demand for a two state solution.
Do they have an exclusive arrangement whereby they can only re-sell ZRFY software? It doesn’t cost them anything to be a software re-seller, unsold inventory doesn’t take up shelf space.
Again, pretend you’re a potential customer. You get approached then the very first thing you will do is Google to find out how highly regarded, or not, this software is.
What’s your boss going to say when you tell her that you’ve signed the company up to buy product that doesn’t make any lists of best in class.
On what basis can this software be sold? That is the issue you won’t deal with.

Go back to stealing from your Aboriginal people and leave the rest of the world alone. You steadfastly refuse to answer for the crimes against the indigenous people in your own fucking country while lecturing us on how evil other places are. As I mentioned once before, you're like the wife beater who somehow has come to think you're in a good position to give others marital advice.
The Aussie comic, whose clip I posted a link to, gets it, you, however, are either stupid or clueless. You're like someone who gets their info from social media, throws around words like apartheid and genocide, and think you've added something to any conversation.
BLM seeks to combat racism, yet they supported the Hamas attack?

Really, now let's hear about what you wrote about the 550K people murdered in the Syrian civil war. Maybe post some links to your writings calling Assad guilty of genocide, I really haven't seen any.
When you hold Israel to a different standard than other countries (see above) - which you clearly do - you are an anti_Semite, which is very fashionable among "intellectuals " in the dregs of the former Brit colonies. Enjoy!
I'm guessing you're Ram or George's son, both of whom work for the company and, I'm sure, are doing the social media work for them.
Otherwise, your pumping is ahistorical and inexcusable.
It's like you think a re-seller is a sale. How you going to sell against this?

How do you sell software that's not particularly highly rated by any independent reviewers?
An estimated 250K Yemenis killed in a civil war during the past few years and not a peep of protest out of you against the factions committing an actual genocide. I guess it's all cool, though, because they're not, you know, Jews.
You're asshole is showing:

Oh, please, you're another anonymous stock market bulletin board investment genius. Always buying low and selling high, I'm sure.
Hey, I made a billion dollars on the stock market before I was 40 years old and am now posting from my mega-yacht. Anyone can write anything here, no one actually has any credibility whatsoever. Get it?
And those who brag about their "success" are just a sad lot. Not only does no one believe you but, also, no one gives a shit.
I recently took an opposite position to Michael Burry and he was actually right and he hasn't stopped bragging about it on stock bulletin boards.
You have a "feeling"? Seriously? I wish you good luck, you're going to need it.
I've never heard any hedge fund managers or etf runners or institutional investors claim that as a basis for any investments.
Maybe you should start an etf. The Feelings ETF
Or maybe you can tell us, just to provide context, what other stocks you've bought because you had feelings and how they enriched you.
You're really a piece of work. What I wrote "will be...silly long after I'm gone"?
You strike me as an old man who mostly seems incapable of expressing any original thoughts. You cover up your insecurities about your lack of analytical skills by posting overlong and very boring old articles that others have written (and no one reads). And you then add nothing of your own by way of creative thinking or out of the box interpretations - your snarky asides are generally pedestrian and have the effect of making you seem even less significant.
So you run this board, whoo hoo!, big fucking deal.
Sheesh, not a lesson in guilt whatsoever, it's a little hard for me to understand how that's your takeaway. It's simply an attempt, not a very good one I gather, to explain what John Doe actually gets from military aid to other countries. And how it's just another part of the system that screws the little guy as it takes our money.
It privatizes profits from public investments.
As I stated, if not you, then millions of other Americans who do have pensions which do invest in the defense industry.
"Most retirement plans have investments that fund weapons of war, including exposure to the makers of controversial munitions like cluster bombs, according to a report Tuesday from As You Sow." (this past Tuesday)
Ok, you don't buy that. Link, please. Where are you reading this stuff? Is your claim that Israel is turning around and selling what we give them to other countries? What stuff and to whom?
You've ignored your own profiteering from the process you disdain. Are you rejecting the portion of your pension that relies on defense industry profits?
You only know enough about this to know that I'm wrong, based on whatever. Great.
Ok, let's start at the start. We are, basically, giving Israel gift certificates that are mandated to buy military equipment from American companies. They are not discretionary funds that can be used to feed the hungry, there, for example.
What do we get out of it? Well, it both helps to increase ( or not decrease) employment in those industries and helps those companies' bottom lines, big time.
Do you have a pension? If you do, there's a good chance that your pension fund owns shares of Raytheon or Lockheed Martin, or whatever, and the stock in those companies is buoyed, in part, by the money it makes from Israel's purchases. So, you, personally, are benefitting from this arrangement, as a pensioneer. And if you, personally, are not, there are still millions of Americans who are.
I'm not sure if Israel pays sales taxes, per se, on their purchases of American war stuff. I found this, for what it's worth, although I'm not sure I understand it:
"The current VAT (value added tax) rate for Israel is 17.00%." If this means they are actually paying sales taxes at that rate, that money is refunded to us, too, directly.
Think of foreign aid to any country that mandates purchase of US made goods (as Israel's is) as money laundering. Our government takes public, tax, monies and gives it to another country to buy US made products which privatizes the profits. And you, and your pension fund, profit from it.
Your beef is with the process not the players.
You got it. LOL Brat. - 453837
It's human contribution. Jerk - 453819
It IS 'man caused' you dumbest of f'ks. - 453813
You're a liar. - 453809
asshole - 453736
Damn son, you are eat up with the dumb-ass - 453761
Above is the last 2 days. I guess you don't see what you don't want to see. I meant it as a throw away line, jokingly, don't understand why you escalated it.
Again, what the fuck? No one said Iran was involved, I stated - clearly - that demonstrations against the ruling claque there have been ongoing despite physical dangers. Where you dug this other stuff up remains a mystery. Although Iran does back Hezbollah, as I"m sure you know.
I can deal with people disagreeing vehemently with my opinions. But purposely misstating what I wrote is low.
Again, conflating Jews with Israel. Nice! With a dick reference too! So clever, a Star of David tattoo, you rock, bro.
