Thanks for illustrating the denialist mindset that allows this genocide to enjoy widespread support among people who actually have every opportunity to be informed and to know better.
The injustices and barbarities practiced under the name of the Zionist project are well documented and go back to at least the interwar years, the 1920s-1930s. The documentation was originally in print from eye witnesses and historical documentation (both Zionist writings as well as official Israeli sources) but, in these modern times, includes extensive video documentation.
This story alone should have been enough to dismiss any arguments Netanyahu just made to the U.S. government apparatchiks. Sadly not so. Thanks, Mark, for highlighting this (along with thanks to the estimable Col. Douglas Macgregor for his views).
Today on Free Republic I saw a comment from a poster about the killing in Gaza and how he was fine with it. I sent a post to him and asked was he really okay with Israel wiping out 2.5 million people in the war with Hamas. His response was he thought his was okay, kill them all.
In pointed out that Netanyahu , Israel and the U.S., through Qatar starting in 2012 were funding Hamas in Gaza thinking they could control them. Well that idiotic strategy turned out badly, so In way what we are seeing is an excuse by Israel to commit Genocide all in the name of protecting Israel and wiping Hamas away.
No one would have objected to Israel retaliating for the Hamas attack and in the process making a deal to get the hostages back and whatever else could have been negotiated. But that didn't happen, it was a total excuse to go after that which Israel created and by extension a reason to kill and maim everyone in the Gaza Strip just for existing. So how does that make the Israelis have any kind go moral high ground when compared to the Nazi's during W.W. II, or the Soviets for the massacre of the Polish army corps in 1939?
None the major players in this mess have any Morality and Ethics to stand on, just Criminality, Hypocrisy, and Mendacity.
At what point do we and the rest of the world see Israel as a State doing evil and quit injecting the Bible and Religion into the mix, they are separate situations and issues.
I have actually read some books on that subject and after looking into it a little I wonder myself. The shear logistics of killing 6000 people a day and then cremating the bodies is an impossibility as it takes on average 3 hours to do one body. So just how many crematoriums would have been needed and how much manpower just for transporting and removing bodies would be needed. And keep in mind we were told this was ongoing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 3 years.
The number 6 million is an apocryphal number with a long history in writings about the Jewish people. It's not a number that miraculously surfaced after WWII. Therefore, it's not surprising that the cremation numbers don't compute. Here is a list of 246 articles from 1900 to 1945 that reference 6 million Jews. I seem to remember seeing another reference dating the 6 million number to the late 1800s. It makes me wonder if these references have been debunked somewhere, or whether they are accurate. For now, I assume they are accurate.
It's really beside the point. Evil is evil regardless of how it might be quantified. One murder is no better than a thousand and no more justified. Would proving the number of deaths somehow justify a commensurate number of deaths at the hands of the victims in the future? God forbid - and he will.
I am not sure what you mean but if you want to know what Christians believe:
Deuteronomy 5:17: “You shall not murder."
Romans 12:19: "Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord."
Romans 2: 15-16: "They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares."
But through Christ's death he has atoned for our sins and through His resurrection our eternal life is secured:
1 Peter 1:3: "Praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead"
I get why some people might be concerned about by articles like the one I linked. I should have commented at more length rather than flippantly. The SCOTUS decision did NOT form the basis for simply abolishing federal administrative agencies. It simply makes it possible to now challenge in federal courts the systems by which agencies are prosecutors, juries, and judges all rolled into one. Most specifically, it means that federal courts need not defer to *agency interpretations* of laws passed by Congress. Federal courts can now decide whether an agency interpretation of law is *unreasonable,* i.e., not a reasonable interpretation of what Congress intended. Congress remains free as always to amend their own laws to make their intent clear.
So, in this case, the article is incorrect and sensational. The court did NOT decide preliminarily that the NLRB is unconstitutional. It decided preliminarily that there's a good chance that the *procedures* the NLRB uses for adjudicating cases (judge, jury, prosecution rolled into one) are unconstitutional. Ultimately, this all has to do with due process and equal protection under the law. Big players like Musk and Amazon have always been able to afford to challenge agency rulings and make their weight felt. The end of Chevron deference makes it more possible for little people to get their day in court. The legal system may still favor Big Money, but now the playing field is more level.

Rafah | Rafah’s water reservoir blown up

Did the doctor see the children shot? In a twisted way it could be Hamas that is shooting the children.

You're probably right. I'm also pretty sure Trump shot himself in the ear. I wish Kamala would lighten up and occasionally laugh.

So sad.
I'm starting to think that what I was told about what happened to the "chosen ones" during WW2 might have been exaggerated
I have actually read some books on that subject and after looking into it a little I wonder myself. The shear logistics of killing 6000 people a day and then cremating the bodies is an impossibility as it takes on average 3 hours to do one body. So just how many crematoriums would have been needed and how much manpower just for transporting and removing bodies would be needed.

It's an honor to have a response from you.
I started reading you in 2009 during the Climate Email Scandal.
Climate Gate
You're an Original Gangster
And yes, we both have an idea of what really happened during WW II but aren't allowed to say it
Anyway, thanks for the 25 years plus you've spent putting out the truth.
...Eff Joe Romm!!!

Can you clarify tgis?

I hope this helps.

Legal oriented commenters may wish to correct some of what I wrote in haste. I was trying to give the overall thrust of the what's going on.
Well done, Cass!
Thanks. I just didn't have the energy this morning. Great exposition.
Exceedingly well explained! You’ve set a high bar for Congress!
