You sent them to chant "Death to Jews" and "Go back to Poland". If this were a couple of generations ago, you would have sent them to stop segregation and chant "go back to Africa". You've failed as a parent when you passed on your bigotry.

Everything about this is textbook. He took the right pass rush angle to avoid the offensive line but not let the QB step up in the pocket. He waited until he was close to lower his shoulder and drive the QB into the ground. 10/10

Hamas intended to commit genocide and would have killed millions on 10/7. The only limit was capability. All Jews know this. Israel has the capability to kill every Gazan. The limit is intent, which is why civilian/combatant ratio of 1:4:1 is lowest in urban warfare history.

@DavidSacks, I think you got a few things wrong here and you left some things out. October 7th, Hamas, an Iranian proxy that Iran has funded for decades, invades Israel, kills 1,200 civilians and takes 240 hostages. April 1st, in a surgical strike, Israel takes out Gen. Mohammad Reza Zahedi, known for his “strategic role in forming and strengthening the resistance front as well as in planning and executing the Al-Aqsa Storm [Oct. 7th],’ and six other Iranian military leaders. See: nypost.com/2024/04/14/world-… Killing the person who designed and executed the Oct. 7th attack is not an act of war. It is justice delivered, no different than our taking out Bin Laden for his role on September 11th. Also, Israel did not bomb the Iranian embassy in Syria. It destroyed an annex building adjoining the embassy. The embassy/consulate is still standing. April 13th, Iran attacks @Israel with 350 drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles, an act of war against Israel. @POTUS Biden says even-steven, but he is wrong. How can Israel allow Iran to launch 350 munitions against its homeland and do nothing? How will that deter Iran or other enemies in the future? Israel will respond. I expect it will go after military targets, namely Iran’s weapons-making capabilities to disable its ability to launch a similar attack in the future. Hopefully, it ends there. And yes, no one wants this to escalate. But ask yourself, how would the U.S. or any other country respond to Iran?

BREAKING: The IDF completes operations at Al-Shifa hospital - 200 Hamas terrorists killed - 500 terrorists captured - 6000 civilians evacuated to protect them from the fighting If Hamas never returned to the hospital, it wouldn’t have sustained damages

I see that Israel is being portrayed as a war monger, seeking to fight with all our neighbours. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Here are a few facts to consider: ⁃When Hamas delivered its October 7th surprise massacre, there were no territorial disputes between Israel and Hamas: Israel had vacated 100% of Gaza 18 years earlier. The massacre was out of the blue. ⁃Following Oct 7th, Israel did not initiate any attack on Hezbollah. It was them who attacked us. ⁃Israel’s army is a citizens army. Our boys and girls serve there. You can be a CEO, a teacher or a plumber, your kids will serve side by side, merits-based only. This means we hate war. It’s not “someone else’s kids”. It’s ours. We want are kids to live. We send our boys to war only as last resort. All Israelis—left and right—understand that if we allow Hamas to survive this pogrom, our worst enemies will realize that you can attack Israel, rape our daughters, burn our babies and get away with it. That would spell our doom. Despite the tsunami of false propaganda describing Israel as deliberately killing citizens, we’re actually prosecuting one of the most careful wars ever recorded. There are roughly 30k-35k Gazans dead (if you believe Hamas reports), of which ~15k of them are terrorists. This is against an enemy whose fundamental strategy is to increase deaths of its own people in order to pressure Israel. This is a very low ratio of civilian/fighter death, in perhaps the toughest of circumstances (500 miles of tunnels, dense area, widespread use of human shields). In a recent raid on Shifa, which is a Hamas headquarter based in a hospital (!) we killed about 170 terrorists, captured at least 400, with ZERO civilian casualties. Zero. Friends, let me be clear: at this very moment radical Islamic terrorists in Madrid, New York, Paris and London are following this war. If Israel is blocked from defeating Hamas, each one of them will be inspired. If we crush Hamas, their hopes for terror will be crushed along. YOU will be safer. Bottom line: You actually know the truth: Israel has no choice but to defeat Hamas and bring home our hostages. You, wherever you live, would do the same. We’re doing our best to minimise civilian casualties. The best thing that anyone in the world can do is to get behind Israel with all your energy and support and thank us for fighting everybody’s fight.

Thomas Sowell in 2014: "Many years ago, on my first trip around the world, I was struck by how the children in the Middle East — Arab and Israeli alike — were among the nicest looking little children I had seen anywhere. It was painful to think that they were going to grow up killing each other. But that is exactly what happened. It is understandable that today many people in many lands just want the fighting between the Israelis and the Palestinians to stop. Calls for a cease-fire are ringing out from the United Nations and from Washington, as well as from ordinary people in many places around the world. According to the New York Times, Secretary of State John Kerry is hoping for a cease-fire to “open the door to Israeli and Palestinian negotiations for a long-term solution.” President Obama has urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to have an “immediate, unconditional humanitarian cease-fire” — again, with the idea of pursuing some long-lasting agreement. If this was the first outbreak of violence between the Palestinians and the Israelis, such hopes might make sense. But where have the U.N., Kerry and Obama been during all these decades of endlessly repeated Middle East carnage? The Middle East must lead the world in cease-fires. If cease-fires were the road to peace, the Middle East would easily be the most peaceful place on the planet. “Cease-fire” and “negotiations” are magic words to “the international community.” But just what do cease-fires actually accomplish? In the short run, they save some lives. But in the long run they cost far more lives, by lowering the cost of aggression. At one time, launching a military attack on another nation risked not only retaliation but annihilation. When Carthage attacked Rome, that was the end of Carthage. But when Hamas or some other terrorist group launches an attack on Israel, they know in advance that whatever Israel does in response will be limited by calls for a cease-fire, backed by political and economic pressures from the United States. It is not at all clear what Israel’s critics can rationally expect the Israelis to do when they are attacked. Suffer in silence? Surrender? Flee the Middle East? Or — most unrealistic of all — fight a “nice” war, with no civilian casualties? General William T. Sherman said it all, 150 years ago: “War is hell.” If you want to minimize civilian casualties, then minimize the dangers of war, by no longer coming to the rescue of those who start wars. Israel was attacked, not only by vast numbers of rockets but was also invaded — underground — by mazes of tunnels. There is something grotesque about people living thousands of miles away, in safety and comfort, loftily second-guessing and trying to micro-manage what the Israelis are doing in a matter of life and death. Such self-indulgences are a danger, not simply to Israel, but to the whole Western world, for it betrays a lack of realism that shows in everything from the current disastrous consequences of our policies in Egypt, Libya and Iraq to future catastrophes from a nuclear-armed Iran. Those who say that we can contain a nuclear Iran, as we contained a nuclear Soviet Union, are acting as if they are discussing abstract people in an abstract world. Whatever the Soviets were, they were not suicidal fanatics, ready to see their own cities destroyed in order to destroy ours. As for the ever-elusive “solution” to the Arab-Israeli conflicts in the Middle East, there is nothing faintly resembling a solution anywhere on the horizon. Nor is it hard to see why. Even if the Israelis were all saints — and sainthood is not common in any branch of the human race — the cold fact is that they are far more advanced than their neighbors, and groups that cannot tolerate even subordinate Christian minorities can hardly be expected to tolerate an independent, and more advanced, Jewish state that is a daily rebuke to their egos."

Lionel Messi’s MLS introduction is surreal to watch — and it feels much different than when David Beckham arrived in 2007. That's because the league is in an entirely different position. MLS Annual TV Deal 2007: $8 million 2023: $250 million MLS Average Attendance 2007: 15,000 2023: 21,000 ( 40%) MLS Average Franchise Value 2007: $37 million 2023: $579 million And Messi isn't coming here to retire. He won the World Cup just eight months ago and was voted the tournament's best player. That's why Inter Miami's stadium was sold out for Messi's introduction, and the team was selling $200 jerseys outside. And Apple TV will keep the party going. Last night's 1-hour unveiling special was free for everyone to watch, and they will have 18 cameras at all Inter Miami matches this season, including slow-motion cameras, a skycam, and a drone. This is a historic moment in American sports!

“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’” Michael W Smith

For virtually all of human history, almost everyone alive (95% ) was subsistence farmer-level poor. When I was born, that had fallen to about half the world’s population. Today, we’re down to ~10%. This “everything sucks now” worldview comes from a place of incredible privilege.
