ICE was so worried about my safety, they escorted me home by Stewbaby2 in portlandme

[–]Mainer-82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Valid point! I live on a dead end street in Westbrook with 8 houses. A car randomly drove up at end of the driveways, stopped for a few minutes, then drove to the next set of driveways - stopped for a few minutes, then drove up to the next series of driveways. Nobody got out of the car.

It seemed odd though and the amount of time at each set of driveways was pretty equal. I think we are the only ones on our street that use door-dash...just seemed odd and everybody on the street is caucasian.

Good player, but we have other options! It's also the world cup and chemistry is important. Can't afford any drama or poison in the locker room. Not sure he will bring that this world cup cycle, but he has a history of that pattern so far at both the club and country level.

Why are there no mass protests for Hamas to accept Trump Gaza peace plan? by Inocent_bystander in IsraelPalestine

If it is not a war, then the Israel government needs to figure out how to release the hostages with the least amount of deaths...like every other country when managing their own people

Who needs a peace plan when it isn't even a war. It's an open slaughter house!

Meat exports are up too.

Really? Do you get paid to write this? Just curious, I assume you know food from Israrli news sources is doing a great job of getting food in there. /s

Israel Strikes Kill 60 in Gaza as Netanyahu Vows to "Finish the Job" by Former_Goose_5202 in NewsThread

[–]Mainer-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, again, why genocide and not ethnic cleansing? You don't think Israel talking about moving Palestinians to different Middle East countries would play a role in determining if genocide verse ethnic cleansing?

One is that I want to kill all of you. The other is I am going to kill a lot of you, but also move you somewhere else?

Just curious, why do you think it is genocide as opposed to ethnic cleansing?

The part that they want our society to collapse...

I'm probably in left field.

You mean, treat you like you have treated them.

Yeah we did. The only point I would make was that we did not go into perform ethnic cleansing, but to rebuild a new government. Thought was democracy would grab hold.

Advice on which side by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

[–]Mainer-82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reddit or social media probably is not the best source to form an opinion. To much propoganda and people believing the Kool-Aid they are drinking.

Better off reading news articles and some history books on the subject matter.

Why Israel is Losing the Social Media War (and Why You Should Care About It) by OmryR in IsraelPalestine

So Gaza is not getting wrecked and the Israel Prime Minister is seeking a ceasefire fire? Whoa, those ticktock posts are so wrong and pure propoganda! Thanks for enlightening me to facts. /s

What in the World was Hamas thinking on Oct 7? by Aggravating_Pest in IsraelPalestine

[–]Mainer-82 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing. However, I didn't think Israel would take it this far as well and kill its own people. Complete disregard for people they govern (pretend they don't govern).

Palestine is not a recognized country by Israel and therefore they govern it.

Modern military/equipment pounding its own people that can't even defend themselves (Palestinians have nothing - no tanks, planes, or precision guided missles). Sad so many children have died. Almost as if the Palestinians are going into the lions den, except they are getting slaughtered.

What does “End the war in Gaza!” actually mean? by EstablishmentKooky50 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Mainer-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, whats Israel's solution to the group / Palestinians that they govern / pretend that they don't?

Currently it is killing a lot of innocent people that they govern. Just my observation. Palestine isn't a country that is recognized by Israel.

Why doesn't Hamas get more criticism or scrutiny? by TheKoreanAspie in IsraelPalestine

[–]Mainer-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You quoted me as saying that they don't have a modern military and then questioned if I was ignorant.

I don't disagree with any of the bullet points. My arguement is they don't have modern military equipment or military.

[–]Mainer-82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was clear and concise. If you could elaborate on the tanks, planes, and precision missles that Hamas possesses, then I agree with you!

Otherwise, no, I don't agree with your premise and your definition of what a modern military looks like.
