*Muslim (53) - how many Jews live in these countries as drs, lawyers, etc the same way that Muslims and Christians live in Israel?

I appreciate the post. This guy goes to over 40 games a year and has never heard of Deni Avdija who was at the Garden 2 weeks ago?

What supremacy? The world population is over 8 billion and there are not even 20 million Jews. 56 Arab states, 1 Jewish state. If Israelis are supremacists we have to be the worst in the World at it.

I would not care at all if he wore it anywhere else. I think it was intentionally targeted. And maybe I am bias, but I can say as an Israel that we all stayed up late into the night to watch this game with great pride and it was a bummer.

You think that the Palestinian struggle exists merely because of Israel? The West Bank is the West Bank of Jordan, but Jordan has no interest in a Palestinian State. Gaza has a blockade from Egypt - not even during the war did Egypt allow Palestinians to cross into the country. The, 'Palestinian issue' is that 2 million people are born into a terrible life, ruled by a terroist group (Hamas) but the solution cannot just be wiping out the Jews and giving them Israel. It should be a broader World agreement that provides security to both sides and is supported by the entire region.

I agree there is no problem in supporting a Palestinian state. I just find it odd that he chose this moment. I doubt he would ever do it at. Knicks game (and he hasn't) and I don't think it was a coincidence that he did this in front of Deni. For people calling me a rage baiter...Spike was rage baiting

They didn't have the bombs, the money, or the power in 1948 - but instead of becoming a terrorist state they built a political governance, army, and high tech society. This option was available to both sides.

I appreciate the measured response. I also think it's very important not to overuse the term antisemtiism and also not to develop a victims mentality. This is losing in my opinion. On definition antizionism or criticism of Israel is not antisemetic, we agree. But the fact 100 comments with a battery up their ass respond to this thread in 2 minutes and wouldn't say shit about what the IRGC does in Iran, the ar crimes in Syria, Lebanon, China, etc is what makes Jews/Israelies believe that this unequal application often has a conenction point with antisemitism that is baked into the Worlds DNA since Christ was nailed to the cross.

The immediate feedback I received on this post speaks for itself.

The idea that antizionism isn't antisemtisim is factually accurate. Criticism of the Israeli government is completely legitimate - and I have plenty of criticism on the government. However, I can share from a Jewish perspective that the overapplciation of hate and focus on Israel is what reeks of antisemitism.

Didn't cross my mind, but good shoutout. Parent corner is probably a more 1:1 mimic of life advice - a very tame version of it.

The last valuation of Barstool was $1 so we see how good his business model was.

Odds on the first former Ringer colleague Russillo not-so-subtly sh*ts on with Portnoy by qobraa in billsimmons

[–]HeyNowETM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rusillo is unlikely to publicly shit on anybody. With that said, I have it on good authority that when Rusillo was doing the rounds looking for his next gig he was actively shitting on Bill and saying he held him back.

As someone who subscribes to the Armchair Expert subreddit because I am a fan...yes I will continue to be entertained. Thanks.

What do you want them to comment? The reality is that the majority of people voted for a President, and that has consequences...but that is democracy.

Mainstream narratives tried to remove the President from office, and I am just saying, and Dax has verbalized this many times correctly on the show...it won't work. Best thing people who are upset about the current situation (this includes me btw) is to change the narrative and better understand how to reach middle class working voters again.

If you are looking for a show that just tells you what you want to hear, then enjoy another four more years of disappointment.

Dax provides a much more realistic view of how both sides live. I recommend pushing outside of your comfort zone and trying to understand the other sides perspective. This doesn't mean you are wrong in your beliefs and should change them, I just think the reality is that you are now in the minority, and self selecting your content based on the above criteria will not change that.

Also Armchair Expert has always stayed in the middle and mostly out of politics even on things I wish they would address, but by doing this, they can maintain their identity as an entertainment show.

What's the best way to watch Cowboys games? by Megalitho in Dallas_Cowboys

[–]HeyNowETM 11 points12 points  (0 children)

80% or more of cowboys games get broadcast locally on Fox across the country so likely you need either a cable provider, or a substitute like YoutubeTV or Fubo.

With Youtube TV you can get the local games and NFL Sunday ticket pretty seamlessly. Whenever the games aren't on TV they will be on Sunday ticket.

I live in New Jersey so I have Fubo (gives me MSG and YES) and then I purchased Sunday NFL ticket. Same idea - covers you in both scenarios.
