    @Aqua-Letifer

    Maybe Bibi needs to take a page from Putin’s playbook on pacifying ethnic minorities. Chechnya. Find a Ramzan Kadyrov type from among the Hamas network and put him in charge of Gaza. He’ll keep everyone in line and out of mischief. It won’t be pretty but he will keep Gazans from terrorizing Israelis. Hold a sword of Damocles over his miserable head to keep him in line.

    The other day someone was looking for a parallel to this current war. The Chechen experience of the 1990’s and early years of the 2000s is your answer. Gaza city is looking a lot like Grozny did when Putin let the dogs out on Chechnya.

    Some pretty nasty stuff happened in that conflict.

      The mindset is so foreign from anything I can understand. Their grievances outweigh the chance for their children to live a better life, or even to live at all. I acknowledge that mindset exists but will never understand it on a human level.

        Yep. It’s the nature of the beast. I sometimes wonder if we do ourselves any favors by trying to limit it.

                      one might say the same about the systematically low status classes of America, where parenting is a persistent problem. Hopeless people don’t typically instill hope in their kids.

                        Great, so 1/2 of her tweet is irrelevant. Beyond that she seems to be ignoring the 12 or so Americans killed by Hamas… Beyond that, how many of her tweets do you think can be found that are very pro-Ukraine (not an American war)? Now while I agree that pro-Palestine displays and support should be allowed, I suspect our reasoning is VERY different.

                          Is DEI about inclusion and safety for all? Or is it just a tool for favored ethnicities to be prioritized over disfavored ones?

                          You decide.

                            Now imagine that Dean found a picture of a noose on a bulletin board. He would shut down the campus while they searched every cctv to find the culprits.

                                        I hate to say this, because the family are good friends, but my son has a friend with Palestinian/Jordanian parents who are cousins, and, yeah, the kid was born with an extra toe or two.
