I drove over the bridge Tuesday a.m. The entire bridge is covered in disturbing anti-Israel graffiti.
We have 5 people for Israel, and the other side saying “normalize massacres” in front of thousands.
(Edit)“anti-Israel” graffiti from comment 1.
“5 people for Israel” in comment 2.
What is “Israel” in all of this?
As we learned in the movie “Finding Forrester”, that is NOT a soup question, is it!
As we learned in movie Billy Madison – David, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Granted, the “soup question” reference is oblique, as intended. It was a movie reference for any movie fan who might have enjoyed Finding Forrester. You would have to have seen the movie to comprehend the metaphorical meaning of a soup question (why does your soup foam and mine doesn’t) vs a question for which there are no easy factual answers. You need not take such offense at my posing the question, a question you thought unworthy of discussion, apparently.
What is the “Israel” people are so fervently in favor of and opposed to???
Is it a safe-haven for a long-persecuted Jewish diaspora reclaimed forcefully by an international body from Palestinian lands? Is it the current Jewish state led by ultra-nationalists? Is it the innocent peoples slaughtered and kidnapped October 07? Do those victims define what is “Israel”? Is Israel a colonial power dropping 2,000 lb bombs in densely-populated areas accompanied by pledges from persons in the government to displace the troublesome Palestinians and render Israel a safe place for Jews by making it a place only for Jews? Notwithstanding your vitriol, these are rational questions which merit consideration.
Ratio! Lighten up Francis!
Non sequitur
Above your pay grade
(Edit)Apparently, so is the answer to my open-ended question. Itβs all babble and a lot of hate.
@Jimi. It’s easier to be lighthearted when the horror is far, far away and it’s not your family and friends who are raped and murdered or facing starvation. Still, not many can look away from such horror once they learn of it. I guess, you are exceptional.
And, surely, do not call me Francis.
Shirley you must be joking
