Hamas attacks Israel

[George K]

Remember the reporter that Jordan Peterson talked with?

She speaks to the Poles…

[Copper]

I want to hear a presidential candidate talk like that guy.

"I don't care!"

What a great statement!

[George K]

Look at the frame that is captured in the link - the arrogance of this woman is on display. She should meet Dr. Peterson again. He’s not as nice now.

There's a bit of an irony in Poland not taking any refugees. The rest of Europe is awash with Poles getting the fuck out of there in order to earn some money. I thought that guy was a wanker, TBH.

[George K]

Not quite true. He states that Poland has accepted a lot of refugees from Ukraine.

I have no knowledge of Poles leaving for better wages. Care to educate me?

Perhaps in a new thread to keep this one on topic (which I potentially derailed - my bad).

[Doctor Phibes]

This is a country that fairly recently made it a crime to implicate the Polish state or people in the holocaust.

You've got to ask yourself why they felt the need to pass such a law.

Hay @bachophile!

What’s the sense of how things are by you?

[bachophile]

Well, on a personal level, in a bit of a lull, occasional sirens (one of the dogs, I’m dog sitting one of my daughters dogs who lives in Tel Aviv, goes absolutely bonkers with every siren and subsequent boom of iron dome)

If and when the ground incursion starts I will be again in mass casualty mode which may bring tense hours at work.

On the more macro scale, I think Netanyahus career is over. He will stay at the helm for the war but no matter what the outcome, his government will fall, there is broad consensus that any other outcome is impossible.

All his legal issues and the judicial reform have melted away into nothing. He will be the one on whose watch disaster befell the country. Nothing will wash that away. And I sense that I see it on his face as he addresses the nation.

[George K]

You must be really stressed out - you’re capitalizing your posts.

[Mik]

I guess if this abomination can have a sliver of silver lining, the death of the judicial reform is it.

[Mik]

But what struck me is the normalcy of the sirens and iron dome booms. That's a hell of a thing.

@George-I’m not responsible for my iPads autocorrect

[Rainman]

I've always liked Netanyahu. I've been wrong? I guess I need some reading to understand why he is disliked by Bachophile and nearly half the public.
But it's so great and reassuring to hear from Bachophile, jeez, I can't imagine what he is going through. Thoughts and prayers.

What a compilation.

From that thread….

Maybe IDF intelligence is not so remiss as portrayed.

@bachophile Keep safe and I am thinking of you and sending good thoughts.
