Salon magazine says Israel committing war crimes in latest round of fighting.

Palestine isn't a country by law

But the UN says it is.

All in favor of Legion permaban say aye.

So u would support Mexicans firing 4000 rockets into El Paso starting tomorrow?

I don't quite get that either, but it appears that 85 is within the normal range.....and about the average IQ of Qanon members.

FWIW, measuring IQ, especially cross-culturally, can be tricky.

Agreed. I've thought the same about any group whose IQ is measured. Who sets the standards? You can't measure an average American's IQ with that of an Amazonian from the rain forest, for example.

The whole thing would have been done and dusted by now if not for Hamas. I truly cannot understand why anybody could support such a horrific and barbaric organisation. Same goes for Hezbollah and the mullahs in Iran. As a woman you'd detest have to live under those repressive regimes yet say nothing about the horrific human right abuses. I've never been able to get my head around that!

DEMOCRATS, Tom.

Or someone from western Pennsylvania.

Hamas is a terrorist organization. What do you think should be the US response to domestic terrorists?

That depends on who you're asking. Also if you're talking about the organization as a whole or just the military wing.

Yes, they are all people lol.

But only one set of them has any historical ties to the land. You’re familiar with the Old Testament or the Torah?

A totally bogus and thoroughly unconvincing argument.

We do not point to land rights from the late Bronze Age.

The Celtic people used to occupy Gaul, aka modern France, and southern Britain, before being displaced by Romano-Latins and Anglo-Saxons.

The Cheerokee used to occupy southeastern North America before being displaced by Anglo-Americans.

The Hitittes, Lydians, and Greco-Byzantines used to occupy Asia Minor before Turkic tribes displaced them.

Quoting the Bible to make a political argument is like quoting comic books to prove superheroes exist.

It was a historical point. Try to keep up.

Which is why all IQ tests should be taken with a grain of salt. More like a baseline test of "IQ", which also measures education levels.

IQ tests a good tests, but it's important to understand their limitations. The racist assholes trying to say Palestinians are "an inferior race" are only proving their own stupidity, ignorance and probable low IQ.

So you say.

Who told you the Bible is "history"?

Hamas is a terrorist group. Not all Palestinians are terrorists or support terrorists. The ones I met wanted peace and prosperity.....but then I didn't go near Gaza. Just the West Bank.

The EU lists them as such: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-cont...3:FULL&from=en

As does the US https://www.state.gov/foreign-terrorist-organizations/

Proud Boys is a terrorist group....depends on who you're asking.

If that happened, the US would be rolling the US Army into Juárez IF the Mexicans didn't put a stop to it first....and we'd be fully justified in doing so.
