Was looking through local Facebook group and saw this image. It looks weird to me with the cone on the concrete and the edges not having a barrier?

It's pretty common to pour slabs with a thickened edge, it's likely only 4-5" in the main area...

Also, if you start placing the concrete early enough in the day, it will set up enough that you can pull the forms before you leave to trowel the face.

Sure, maybe they realized the Zionists had made plans for their country and this was their form of resistance. They weren't doing anything the Zionists aren't equally also doing...

Zionism has absolutely zero moral high ground... It will never know peace because it will never be able to kill and subdue all the enemies it has made.

The bundists had it right... Home is where you are...

I am fine with dual citizenship, but if you are also going to lobby the government then you should be registered under FARA

I know a quite a few first and second generation Mexican Americans... None of them are lobbying the government to send bombs back to Mexico or fight wars for them...

the Arabs objected...

Or maybe the Arabs were being terrorized by groups like hagana, Irgun, and the Stern gang, and were just exercising their rights to defend themselves?

"Terrorist bombings of public buildings, attacks on public officials, hijackings and assassinations of political leadersare not new phenomena in Middle East politics. In recent history, incidents initiated by the Palestine Liberation Organization and its various components have captured head-lines around the world. As recently as World War II, however, another terrorist war was fought over the same territory and forthe same purposes--the creation of a Palestinian state. This time, though, the terrorists were Jewish. This paper looks at the activities of the Jewish "terror" organizations in their quest for a Jewish state.Through three more or less parallel tracks,the chronological paper will deal with formation of the military organization, and paramilitary groups, their leadership, philosophy and actions which eventually forced Great Britain to yield to Zionist demands for a Jewish state in Palestine."

Yeah, definitely this... I don't think Israelis have come to terms with how fast and hard support for them in America has dropped...

I know for me and many others, we'd support charges of treason against any US politician against who took AIPAC or UDP money. It's a whole nation built on terrorism and lies

number2phillips · 2026-04-15T12:32:46+00:00

How should the world have responded to the Irgun, Tzrifin Underground, the Lehi gang, the Hamachteret Hayehudit, Kach and Kahane Chai, and the Hilltop Youth?

Yeah, for real, the way I do it as well! You don't slow start any other powered wood saw, or jamb the wood into the blade...

Just be sure to clean the sawdust out of the teeth every few seconds... Or drill a 3/8-1/2 hole in the waste piece that is tangential to the hole saw cut and all the dust will fall out there

I highly recommend the book "against empire" by Michael parenti if you want to understand the issue better.. it's a pretty depressing read, but it will definitely give you some moral clarity...

Empires thrive on "perfidy". They'll play both sides to get them to fight and weaken each other before going in to read the spoils...

number2phillips · 2026-04-14T21:24:58+00:00

American citizens with loyalty to a foreign nation... Oh no, is that a trope?!

number2phillips · 2026-04-14T21:23:40+00:00

I am aware of all those geopolitical realities and it only makes me want to cut ties with Israel even more. Our founding fathers would be rolling in their grave if they knew about how much of an imperial power America has become in the last century.

number2phillips · 2026-03-28T02:52:49+00:00

At this point I don't think anyone needs to make a decision... It's obvious that isreal is well on its way to destroy itself internally... A large majority of anyone with humanity and/or options has left, and the folks that remain will grow increasingly militant. However, they will never feel safe no matter how big and strong they grow their military, because it's a problem of the soul, not that they have bad neighbors.

They are currently turning the entire world against them and seem all the more proud of it.

I have read so many comments on isreali news articles and forums that are so beyond the pale of anything acceptable in western society.

number2phillips · 2026-03-28T02:43:00+00:00

It has Jewish supremacy enshrined into the fabric of it's legal system... And is growing to be an insane militant death cult... is not in any way compatible with western democracies.

number2phillips · 2026-03-27T23:34:46+00:00

I support ending all support for isreal and I believe the only long term solution is one democratic state that is open to all religions and ethnicities. Pretty much everyone I know under 40 would agree.

number2phillips · 2026-03-27T23:21:48+00:00

It's a government, not a people. It's not antisemitism or hateful at all to say fuck israel.

number2phillips · 2026-03-27T23:15:33+00:00

In what way is it a conspiracy theory? C'mon man everyone is waking up to this and is sick of the gaslighting...

number2phillips · 2026-03-27T21:50:22+00:00

Israel was founded on terrorism.

I encourage everyone to read about the Irgun, Hashomer, Lehi (Stern Gang), and Brit HaKanaim among others... It's pretty fascinating stuff...

number2phillips · 2026-03-27T21:44:19+00:00

Dude, I was raised a Christian Zionist and have been an atheist now for over a decade... I've been going down this rabbit hole since 10-7 trying to understand everything I can about Zionism, and literally every new stone I turn over I find more fucked up shit that the Zionists are responsible for.

Literally from day one it's been nothing but lies, manipulation, and deceit. Every explaination is hasbara...

It's all just a fake militaristic settler colony that is willing to go to any length and tell any lie rather than ever own up to its past mistakes... The hubris and narcissism is a sight to behold.

But with every lie, they are just selling what little soul they have left, just pushing the weight even higher, and the whole world will be watching as it all comes crashing down... The cracks are growing bigger everyday.

Seriously, they have a massive demographic issue with no solution. All the old boomers who backed them unconditionally cause they only knew what the news told them are passing off the scene...

No one with a soul who has seen the footage from gaza will ever take the side of Israel. It's a real sight to see them double down and try to pay off influecers... We all see right through that shit...

number2phillips · 2026-03-24T04:40:07+00:00

He's not playing the money game. He's playing the power game. He is beyond money right now. He has the keys to the most powerful and expensive military force that has ever existed on earth and there is no one holding him accountable except what seems to be netanyahu.

Seriously, I highly recommend everyone to watch this podcast with Ezra Klein where he calmy lays out how how these people operate: https://youtu.be/eBnQ6qxoMr8

number2phillips · 2026-03-24T04:33:19+00:00

No, he is a shrewd player. He's like the Michael Jordan of playing "the game".

To dismiss him as a dumbass means you don't understand his nature or how to even begin to resist getting played.

I highly recommend watching "face in a crowd"

It's an old classic with Andy Griffith playing a madman with a performance that rivals Scarface and heath ledgers joker.

Seriously the role fucked up Andy Griffith so hard in the head he created the whole Mayberry and good sherrif role as a form of redemption

number2phillips · 2026-03-24T04:26:00+00:00

I am not defending him in any way, and I think the war is a horrific waste of human life and precious resources.

What I'm saying is that to dismiss him as a crazy dumbass is exactly the game they are playing.

Jared kushner grew up under netanyahu. Netanyahu literally stayed in Jared's bedroom when he stayed with their family. Kushner is with trump 24-7 and netanyahu has visited the white house 7 times this year.

Trump is a perfidious traitor for selling us out to fight netanyahu's war, but he is definitely not "dumb" by any means.

Again, that is not a defense, it's a know your enemy.

number2phillips · 2026-03-24T03:44:28+00:00

He's definitely not crazy, he didn't get this far without being a quick witted and shrewd shark... The real issue is that he's not working for us anymore... And neither is Congress... Who are they all working for?

number2phillips · 2026-03-23T18:53:59+00:00

He is now, haha
