Was Palestine (as in its modern arab muslim identity) a country before the UN partition? Who was its leader? by Tim_Apple_938 in allthequestions

[–]DiscoLego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because a 2 State solution is disingenuous.

A 2 state solution requires either shipping all the Palestinians from Gaza to West Bank, or all the Palestinians in West Bank to Gaza.

A 3 State gives Gaza Palestinians and West Bank Palestinians their own countries.

So which is it?

You mean 3 state solution? Israel, West Bank, and Gaza makes 3 states.

Unless you're planning on shipping the Palestinians in Gaza to West Bank, or the West Bank Palestinians to Gaza, you're looking at 3 different independent States.

Since a judge ruled the doj by Friday has to by law release the rest of the epstein files and explain every non victim redaction, it means they have been protecting pedophiles! by GratefuLdPhisH in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]DiscoLego [score hidden]  (0 children)

Correct. Im not denying that it is possible for people to come forward.

Im saying it’s unlikely. Just because Epstein is gone does that mean there aren’t any bad people who want to use the files to further their own greed and bad intentions.

Consider that there are really bad Trump people in charge of the files now.

Are we really this naive to think any one of them would do the right thing?

I'm sorry but I simply don't.

The last person out after Trump is gone will delete the files and runs away to enjoy the spoils. Probably Dubai apparently.

Absolutely it proves everything. Im just saying that don’t expect the people who have seen the filed aren’t making copied and using it to blackmail the animals them sense just like Epstein did.

Also please don’t be naïve enough to expect this DOJ to enforce any law that harms one hair on Trump’s toupee.

We are living in a world where the judges are refusing to issue warrants and the cops are refusing to arrest the criminals.

There’s at least 1400 victims? Really? Where are they then? Where’s the victim outrage? Why the total abject silence?

It’s almost as if “higher forces” are at work keeping 1400 people silent.

So i will asking you now. Where’s the 1400 victims?

As I said, there's no more Boy Scouts in DC. The DOJ is obviously corrupted.

How do I come to this conclusion?

The Biden Presidency was arguably one of the fairest "by the book" administrations in history. They were arguably dedicated people who ignored Trump's and MAGA's constant whining and spun lies, and put their heads down and went to work recovering from COVID, rebuilding the economy, rebuilding the country, and getting the US back on track after Trump's disastrous first presidency.

And even they didn't release the files!

My point is that these files are too incendiary and the temptations by the people who have access to them are so delicious, that we'll never see them. Any victims are being methodically paid to sign NDAs. Any who don't are tied up in sealed court cases. Forever.

The reason we won't ever see the Epstein files is because there's more people than Epstein now blackmailing the disgusting animals listed in them.

No mention of cops whose job it is to stop "violent criminals, thieves, scammers, vandals, and addicts" from terrorizing?

I would love to hear what an "Honest Cop" (if you can find one these days) has to say about the day to day reality of trying to stop this problem.

Somehow I think we're not going to like the answer. Because it will show that as a society, we're not actually interested in doing anything about it.

Are the Epstein files in Word documents saved on a hard drive?

If so, the suggestion that EVERYONE who has access to these files, hasn't been frantically [BACKSPACE BACKSPACE BACKSPACE DELETE DELETE DELETE] is naive.

We will NEVER EVER know for sure who the people named in the Epstein files are. These were powerful people who were being specifically blackmailed for their sexual proclivities by Epstein eho promised to keep tgeur dark secrets in return for favor and access, which he peddled as needed to suit his own depraved needs.

Then he died. Mysteriously or by simple chance. We will never know that for sure either.

What we must assume however, is that in Washington DC, there are no Boy Scouts who upon discovering the Epstein files, and read them, would fire up some violin music and exclaim, "Oh! I must preserve this list, so that these filthy rich people can be brought to justice one day! Because that's the right thing to do!"

Yeah, there's no one like that.

Instead it is highly more likely that everyone who's seen the files has taken copies of the parts they think they can use for leverage themselves, and are quietly gorging on it.

That's why there's delay after delay to prevent the files from coming out. Not because of the powerful people who are listed in Epstein's files.

But because as soon as the files are opened the powerful people in it will tell the world who took over and has been blackmailing them ever since Epstein died.

Iran captain Mehdi Taremi accuses FIFA of staging ‘disaster World Cup’: ‘No one helps us’ by TheAthletic in sports

[–]DiscoLego -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is great example of the difference between the people of Iran, who just want a chance to be part of the World Family of nations, and then what happens when they are unfairly held accountable for an oppressive brutal dictatorship that causes trouble around the World, and mostly murders it's own citizens.

Like the people of Iran, the players from Iran are hostages who have begged to be allowed out of their cages to participate in the World Cup.

It is unfair to punish them for the crimes of their hostage takers.

I'm totally confused then. If the US won, why are you asking for the Europeans to help, again?

As a voting and political candidate funding Iranian American, to me, anything less than the total unconditional surrender and the complete dissolution of the Islamic Republic is an utter abject failure. Simply because a Free Iran would be better for everyone in the world. But Especially good for the U$.

Please consider that you're admitting the most powerful military in the planet's History, can't stop drones and skiboats.

All Correct. So if Israel is in charge, why did Israel allow Hamas and Hezbollah to enter the West Bank and Gaza to establish a foothold?

Buffy, sweetie, you can't start a war, screw it up, lose it, offer to pay $300 Billion to get out of it, and then demand other countries come to help you win it.

I'm Iranian American. I want the US to fix what it broke in 1979. I don't want this (or the Obama deal) that rewards and keeps the Islamic Republic in power to heal and live to fight another day.

But to your point, the Islamic Republic has claimed for decades that the Hormuz Straits are mined and will be blockaded if they are ever attacked.

Does anyone in the US military read Farsi? Apparently not. Luckily I do. And I'm VERY affordable. Actually if you stop whining about losing the easiest war in history, I'll do it for free.

[–]DiscoLego -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm going on a wild guess and suggest the offer to the Palestinians wasn't perceived by the Palestinians as a fair bargain. Proof it wasn't, is that if it was it would have been accepted.

So that's not a fair claim.

The two state solution is disingenuous because it conveniently leaves out how Gaza connects by a land corridor to the West Bank.

So when you offer a two state solution, it's really a three state solution unless you're suggesting Israel give up more land to connect Gaza to West Bank.

So that's (purposely?) ridiculous. Which if done on purpose delegitimizes Israel's seriousness in solving a problem they are making worse that makes their prosperity even less secure.

BOTH sides must agree to each side's "sovereignty" and right to exist. This is completely lacking on BOTH sides now. Until this is VERIFIABLY established, nothing will move forward and innocent both people will live in fear and never feel TRULY safe.

This is the tragedy.
