Recruitment shouldn't be a problem for a number of NATO members like Canada, France, Germany, UK, Belgium, Sweden and so on. I say this because these countries literally now have millions of military age young men that have crossed their borders in recent years. No doubt they will be willing to step up to defend their new homelands. They'll be eager to contribute in any way they can...won't they?

That was a shameful decision by the government of the day and for this country as a whole. And Jews, Israelis categorically do not behave as badly as they've been mistreated. It's preposterous to even suggest that about a nation that warns civilians to leave before attacks, and brings in food and water(which Hamas often manages to steal). I doubt that any other army in history has been held to the same standards as the IDF has. There is an abundance of evidence showing the great lengths they have gone to in order to minimize civilian casualties on the other side. They are pretty much the polar opposite of Hamas, who always seek to inflict as much harm as possible on Israeli civilians. Women, children, the elderly, it doesn't matter to Hamas who consider all of them fair game. Torture? Rape? No hesitation from Hamas. They filmed it because they are proud of it.

I do often sense hate on this site but in my view it is overwhelmingly towards Israel and it's people. Chatgtp says these panels were put up in September 2024. Panels honoring Black American soldiers were **installed at the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial in Margraten in September 2024. They were placed in the visitor center to recognize the contributions and experiences of African-American troops who served in World War II, including facing segregation and fighting to liberate Europe.

I can't imagine how it must have felt to have survived a regime that made extensive use of concentration camps and crematoriums for the sole purpose of wiping out all Jews. Desperation? Certainly. And they are entitled to say, NEVER AGAIN. You are basically placing the blame and responsibility entirely on the side of Jews and the Palestinians get a complete pass? I can point to all the times Israel has made generous offers in exchange for peace. The response is always the same...NO.

It was clearly a horrible event. Another bloody slaughter in a long line of slaughters on both sides back in those days. Notable pre-1948 incidents Some well-documented examples: Hebron massacre (1929) Arab rioters killed 67 Jewish civilians in Hebron during widespread riots in British-ruled Palestine. Many victims were unarmed religious Jews. Safed massacre (1929) Jewish homes were looted and burned; about 18 Jews were killed. Jaffa riots (1921) Arab riots against Jews left around 47 Jews dead, mostly civilians. Nebi Musa riots (1920) Anti-Jewish violence in Jerusalem killed several Jews and injured hundreds. Earlier Ottoman-era incidents There were sporadic attacks on Jewish communities, such as in Safed (1834), where Jews were killed and the community was largely destroyed. Jews have tried desperately to move on from the past and have peace and prosperity for both sides, but 'Palestinians' simply refuse to let go. They will not let up until every single Israeli has been eliminated. It's their version of The Final Solution.

Really? Vancouver Police probe Oct. 7 rally where 'death to Canada' cry went up Vancouver police say they are conducting an investigation into a pro-Palestinian protest marking the Oct. 7 anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel where they say speakers expressed "solidarity with terrorist groups." The rally at the Vancouver Art Gallery, organized by the group Samidoun, included a masked speaker who told the crowd "we are Hezbollah and we are Hamas," and she also led cries of "death to Canada, death to the United States and death to Israel." https://www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article/vancouver-police-probe-oct-7-rally-where-death-to-canada-cry-went-up/

I would describe it as Israel always loses in the court of public opinion. Sadly, the side that has a similar goal to the Nazis is almost always portrayed as the poor, innocent victims. I think the IDF has gone above and beyond in order to minimize civilian deaths in Gaza. And the number of civilian deaths is impossible to determine since Hamas fighters do not wear military uniforms so they can blend in with the general population. All those that despise Israel and Jews in general don't offer any realistic solutions.

As I understand it, back then neither the Jews or Arabs liked this UN decision. The difference was that one side accepted it and tried to make the best of a less than ideal situation. The Arabs responded from the get-go with violence. Israelis, outnumbered and outgunned, defied all odds and defeated the Arabs. This feud has been played out over and over and over again, the Israelis always win on the battlefield. And leftists throughout the world always still side with radical Islam against the only nation in the entire region that gives ALL it's people the most rights and freedoms.

Given what you routinely post and your rather aggressive style in dismissing virtually all opposing views, I was wondering if you also completely dismissed the entire Somali fraud story outright. I half expected you to respond to the fraud story with your usual 'FOS LIES'

Israel has forcibly removed settlers before in the hope(misguided as it turns out) that it could bring peace. 2005 Disengagement Plan Alongside the full withdrawal from Gaza, Israel also evacuated four settlements in the northern West Bank: Homesh Sa-Nur Ganim Kadim Thousands of settlers were removed by the Israeli government and military, and the settlements were dismantled. Where did this act of good faith get them? Do you accept the fact that 'Palestinians' clearly have no interest in peace and will stand for nothing less than the complete elimination of Israel and every single one of it's citizens?

Evidence of Democrat outrage or... evidence that there was actually any Somali fraud in MN?๐
-
I was wondering if there was any outrage from the left over this massive theft and this is what the search engine came up with: Yes, there is significant outrage from some Democratic leaders in Minnesota regarding the allegations of fraud, particularly as they feel the accusations unfairly target the Somali community.
-
The Somalians kept stealing from the cookie jar and the Democrats would just keep filling it up again.

Was the maple leaf Canadian flag to appease Quebec?

It's usually only one side that goes around tearing statues down and we both know which side that is.๐คจ -
They (Israelis) have been trying to negotiate since 1947. 'Palestinians' have rejected every single offer. What do you think 'from the river to the sea' means'? Hint: they want to completely destroy Israel in it's entirety.

So what options are left to the IDF? If a launch site is clearly identified and is actively firing rockets from among civilians, what would you suggest the IDF do about it? They already make extensive use of precision guided munitions, but even these aren't going to prevent harm to civilians that are deliberately placed in close proximity by Hamas. Do you have a better solution?
-
If you don't believe us when we say Hamas routinely uses their own people as human shields, would you believe it when it comes directly from Hamas?

This is a real headline: Minnesota Dem Tearfully Apologizes To Somalians After They Were Busted Stealing Billions "Democratic state Sens. Ann Johnson Stewart and Steve Cwodzinski tearfully shared their apology and offered support to a mosque full of Somalians on Friday." โWe are heartbroken by the horrible actions of our government, and we want you to know that at the state level, we will do all that we can to support you,โ Stewart could be heard saying in a video shared by Somali TV of Minnesota. https://www.aol.com/articles/minnesota-dem-tearfully-apologizes-somalians-170352557.html How about deportation as well or would that be too harsh?

CBS caves to political pressure
ironstone replied to Radiorum's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
FOX absolutely does have a conservative bias. As CNN, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, NPR and so on have a pretty obvious left bias. It's fair to poke fun at FOX. It's equally fair for us to poke fun at all the big names on the left like Maddow, Reid and the rest. I believe Maddow is pulling in $25 million annually for her nonsense. I cancelled my satellite subscription earlier this year and have zero regrets so I can only see a lot less of their content on YouTube if I choose. And I'm generally not interested. -
Where exactly is Mark Carney's 'logic' improving the lives of Canadians? The name on that channel, Claus Kellerman, links to a website where he's selling merch. Nothing wrong with that. All of his merch is of a 'I choose Canada' theme. But isn't it a bit ironic that he promotes the leader that could honestly say, 'I choose the USA(when it comes to personal investments' ? Which policies of Poilievre are insane? (Dawna Friesen's demeanor with each leader was quite a contrast, warm and smiling with Carney, much colder with PP)

The level of fraud in Minnesota is truly shocking and disgusting, but don't be surprised when the same bunch of politicians are re-elected...easily.

CBS caves to political pressure
ironstone replied to Radiorum's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
The source of the problem is in your statement. Ideally, journalism graduates should come out of school at least knowing that they should do their utmost to be fair and objective. But many of them choose not to do that. What we see on tv is more akin to plain entertainment than simply reporting facts. Is it any wonder why people have so little trust in the news media? -

Bias? Misinformation? It's pretty blatant.
