More strange and/or foul reactions
-
I will never forgive you for putting me in the position of defending Elizabeth Warren, but her reaction is neither strange nor foul. It is the modal position of first world governments.
While I don’t agree with her, it doesn’t really belong in the same photo as, say, people painting threatening messages on the houses of ‘Zionist’ museum board members.

What part of what she said is true and verifiable by someone other than Hamas?
The number of dead?
The prevention of humanitarian aid, starving?
Assigning blame for the hostages being in Gaza on Netanyahu?
Indiscriminate bombing?
Negotiating table - what has Hamas brought to the table?You want an immediate ceasefire? Israel will give it to you tomorrow - on one condition.

You missed the point. This isn’t the fact check thread.
That's right. It's the "Foul reactions" thread.
You didn't criticize my posting Omar's statement.
You might disagree, but I'd characterize Warren's as foul and inappropriate.

Glad I was not in Wash DC this week.

We postponed all deliveries into DC this week. We were supposed to deliver a unit to The Watergate, where Netanyahu is staying… The customer actually postponed that knowing the trouble…

What do you expect? The woman thinks one of Harris' big accomplishment is visiting an abortion clinic...

I’m trying to pull up the speech to watch it. How long was it? Some of the videos I am seeing are over 2 hours long…

It's about an hour, from what I can gather.
Starts at about 0:33 and is over at 1:26.

It began with lots of military hero stories. After that, was very standard rhetoric that you will have seen before on twitter or even here. "People who say from the river to the sea can't name the river or the sea", "Gays for Palestine is like chickens for KFC". The weakest rhetoric was when Bibi said "practically no civilians" had been killed, then admitted that actually 24 people were killed accidentally by a bomb, then reiterated that "practically zero civilians had been killed".
I guess this is the stuff of political speeches, because this is the stuff that works best. Nobody is interested in hearing intelligent things, or not enough people are interested. Just ra ra rhetoric.
