The median age in the Gaza Strip is 18. 40% of its population is under 30. The last and only time Hamas got elected was 2006, over 17 years ago. The population of Gaza as it is now, did not vote for Hamas. To suggest otherwise is akin to blaming Gen Z for Trump or Millennials for GW Bush.
The point is that Hamas was voted in and no one has lifted a finger do anything about it, despite the poor treatment Palestinians received at the hands of Hamas. Stop with the innocent Palestinian bs. And that includes the children who are taught at an early age to hate Jews. That doesn't mean that they deserve to die, they do not anymore than Jewish children deserve to die, something that Palestinian cheer. Again, there is no moral equivalency here. How about protesting against Hamas instead of Israel. Oh wait, Hamas would likely throw those supposed millions that do not hate Jews off of buildings. Israel is no more perfect than this country, but they are good people who do not look to kill civilians because they can.
I find accusations of bigotry are almost never productive to any discussion, especially as we now live in the age where such allegations are constantly being weaponized. In the last few months I had a post on Facebook that had the word "assholes" in it mass reported by a bunch of buttmad cretins and I ended up in the tentacles of FB's AI moderation. There are no humans who monitor content at FB anymore. I now have a strike against my FB account with an unknown number remaining before it gets deactivated. Normally, this would not be an issue, but half of MV life takes place on that accursed site and I need to be there. Similarly, I pluralized the word "autistic" and got an official strike on fucking reddit for hate speech. This is a site that still allows people to have the hard R N-word in their username.
I'm sorry but there is no more room for appeasement of hate. Hate needs to get a punch in the face so yes, if I believe someone is an anti-semite, I will call it out everytime and I am proud of that fact. I supported BLM despite there anti-semetic organizers but they do not support me. I don't know you, whether you are white, black, etc. so I wonder whether you have ever been called a kike, jew bastard, but I have and the only way to shut them up was a punch in the face (sometime I got them back but I still did it because hate needs to be punched in the face). I don't give a shit about reddit or how you have been treated there, its nonsense and irrelvant.
With all of this said, anti-semitism is on the rise globally. The richest man in the world gave his praise and approval to some fuckwit pushing the "great replacement" theory. The idea is that Jews are somehow magically using dark skinned people to worsen the lives of good God fearing whites. Also, and it pains me to say this, I have seen supposed leftists chanting "gas the Jews" and other horrible shit. I'm sure some of them are bad actors posing as protestors, but there's no way they ALL are. This behavior is inexcusable. The rise of the toxic left is a worrisome trend.
And what should Jews do about that? Why do you think that is? Should I stay silent, ignore it, hope it goes away? But thank you for your little bit of empathy.
A major and important distinction is that being anti-zionist, or even offering mild criticism of zionism is not the same thing as anti-semitism. Similarly, calling Bibi a corrupt and evil clownstick is not even the same thing as being anti-zionist. Bibi doesn't own zionism, zionism doesn't own Israel and more broadly the country of Israel doesn't own the global Jewish identity.
Anti-Zionism = Anti-Semitism. The idea that anti-Zionism is not anti-sematism is just wrong. Zionism is the idea of a Jewish state, Jews returning to their ancestral homeland, now Israel. Being anti-zionist means Jews should not have a homeland despite 3000 years of history. A similar history the Palestinians do not have. So if you believe there should not be a Jewish homeland then you are anti-Semitic. "Saying, I just hate Jews, I just hate Zionism, is saying I don't hate Jews as long as they are homeless and vulnerable." That is anti-Semitism.

Apparently my last post has been reported. I did not realize he is a child otherwise I would have been nicer. I do apologize for calling you out for what you are.

So you are an anti-Semite. You made that clear. You are simply ignorant of the facts, don’t want to learn them, just want to hate. I will leave you with the video of all the innocent Palestinians who were cheering on the dead body of a Jew. And you wondered why I expected more from HC but clearly should not have. James, I would love the opportunity to engage you in person.

All you have done is suggest there is some moral equivalence between the sides. There is nothing the Palestinians can point to that is the same as Israel in terms of the history. All your comment suggests that you are ignorant of the history, which is part of the problem.
As far as the UN, they said that Zionism is Racism which has led to so much anti-Semitic rage over the years. The UN is and has always been anti-Jew. You are kidding yourself if you believe otherwise. You may want to listen to what I posted above from YouTube.
I suppose you want a ceasefire? There were many including on October 6, which was once again broken by Hamas, the government in Gaza.
Israel has offered a 2 state solution since before 1948. In fact, in 1948, Israel agreed to give half, the better half of Israel to the Arabs and what did they do, attack Israel. Please get your head out of your ass, I’m sure there is a campus you can be in protesting in support of Palestinians.

Wow, not a single like, not a single comment. Why am I not surprised.

Comedians should stick to jokes not this. Don’t take casually numbers from Hamas, the group that started this in the first place. Palestinians spit on a girl who was raped and killed by Hamas. They were happy about the killings. They were not Hamas, they were Palestinians. Israel needs to do what they need to do to defend themselves against Hamas. Full stop. The US killed more civilians since WWII than Israel has in their war against Hamas. Hamas is responsible for each civilians death in Gaza. The civilians in Gaza are responsible for Hamas. They voted for them and have done nothing about them. Hamas has received billions of dollars and instead of making it a tourist paradise on the Mediterranean they used the money to build tunnels. Jews have been in that land for more than 3000 years. There was not a Palestinian people until, at the earliest, the early 1900’s. The Arab world hates the Palestinians and do not lift a hand to make their lives better. From the river to sea means annihilating Israel. It has been that way from 1948 on (actually long before). Never Fucking Again.

Stay safe Tyler. If you know of any volunteer opportunities over there for an old guy that’s not working please let me know. Otherwise, I may have to go to one elite university at a time and beat the crap out all those in the student governments that are supporting Hamas.

Why are you just a pile of nonsense? No need to answer, it's because you are Brent.

Thanks Nate. I probably should take it to a shop for a tune up.

Holy smokes that looks AMAZING, tyrion!
I'll need to dust off my Pitts & Spitts smoker I've had for decades. It usually sees a lot of action ahead of Thanksgiving during our neighborhood Turkey Fry. If it gets a touch cooler down here I may just need to do a pork butt in the next few weeks...

A few Thanksgivings ago, I did a fried turkey and a smoked turkey. The smoked turkey was preferred over the fried, which surprised me.

Got my abscesses tooth extracted (and a bone graft put in). Fun times! I didn’t get any of the good drugs for afterwards.
The good drugs was the one thing that made dental procedures worthwhile. There is the keeping your teeth thing but still, no drugs sucks. Feel better.

Nate, I am one of those that in the past has rallied to support others on HC. I guess I had hoped that someone would have come to my defense and that of Jews in general. Instead I get a bunch of bs from people that have zero understanding of history and just repeat the same rhetoric that has for ever put Jews at risk. People spend all kinds of time liking the beer or cocktail someone is drinkng but almost know support for someone who has been a part of this community, although not as much as before, from the beginning.
Seeing the people who have like the posts, other than mine, I think it is time for me to go. Please delete my account. I tried but could not figure out how to do so in the settlings.
