The rules of the road are for everyone, not just drivers.

The problem with your story is: - the border outposts were not actually manned. Most of them had monitoring systems outfitted on weapons that were remotely controlled. - Hamas fighters didn't just capture active military; they also captured civilians, children, and foreigners - they didn't avoid...

A complicated summary of the history of Mandatory Palestine... https://www.reddit.com/r/BoomersBeingFools/s/kuvEtDdrkk https://www.reddit.com/r/BoomersBeingFools/s/jqJMXt6rPR While the Mufti of Jerusalem DID visit Hitler, the assertion that he visited concentration camps is not very credible...

That's was a hypothetical situation to illustrate that the circumstances of tomorrow are more important to a state's alliances than what politicians are declaring today. There isn't a single American in 1945 who foresaw that Japan and the US would be allies 80 years later. There aren't many...

Like I said in the other thread, this crisis is a cautionary tale on how not lose a conflict. Palestinians don't have the means to win back the land they lost militarily, and every militant offensive gives an excuse to Israel to cut down more people and take over more land. Diplomatically, it's...

I get that it can be understood like that; I'm just saying, that's not how a lot of them understand it. You know, dog whistles and all that.

That's a loaded expression. Telling the history of America and how race relations shaped this society is what a good number of white folks consider "making white kids feel guilty." Agreeing with the premise with no clarification on the definition of "guilt" is cosigning (consciously or not)...

This. 100% this. The dynamic between the two isn't different from what you'd see in Angola or in Sierra Leone during their own civil wars. Big egos yielding power has never been good for the well-being of the peoples they supposedly advocate for. This why I don't believe in armed...
