    Who voted Hamas into power in Gaza?

    Who attacked innocent citizens attending a music festival.

    Who is currently holding hostages?

    Who is suffering the consequences of the above? I've got very little sympathy for the Palestinians.

    They should and that way we won't have to pay billions for things like wildfire relief.

    You mean that what Biden did to North Carolina in relation to giving aid was unacceptable

    I've already discussed this numerous times on the Gaza thread. Keep up or scroll back.

    Still waiting for your response on whether you support Trump bending over backwards and bending the rules by sending the sexual offender and pedo Maxwell to a minimum security prison.

    Still waiting for your response on if you would support Trump pardoning her.

    You haven't answered either question.

    QUESTION: What does "boycotting Isreal" look like? Esp on a State level?

    States not buying Isreali imports? Which are?
    States not constantly priasing Isreal? States not punishing those that criticize Isreal?

    What *EXACTLY* is a Boycott of Isreal?

    No, they did not.

    The ones holding money back are in this administration.

    This has been pointed out to you several times.

    lol...I'm not wasting another nanosecond responding to you. Trump is your God, he does no wrong in your eyes, and the GOP are his apostles. You're a stupid **** with no critical thinking skills...move on.

    I'll also remind people that there are something like 30 states that have laws that forbid state government from entering into contracts with companies that boycott Israel. Texas, for example, must get a company's affirmation they don't boycott to sign a contract over $100k. The amount of government bullying to muzzle free speech about Israel is pretty alarming.

    Pretty clearly anti-1A.

    In TX, the anti-BDS law was blocked on free speech grounds. The 5th Circuit dismissed the case due to lack of standing (the contract proceeded without requiring a boycott clause) so the court never ruled on the law’s merits. Someone else with standing (required to sign a boycott clause) would need to sue for it to proceed.

    It's the other way around. FEMA under Biden gave North Carolina what they requested and needed for Hurricane Helene. FEMA under Trump denied North Carolina's request for Helene relief, reversing Biden's approval.

    Palestinians in 2005 voted Hamas into power. Half of Gaza wasn't alive when that happened and there were never elections afterwards. Blaming children for the sins of their fathers is pretty Old Testament.

    This topic hurts because each side is, by and large, led by religious zealots who cannot be reasoned with and believe that God Himself is telling them to kill the others. It's why this geopolitical hot stove never cools down.

    Newsom should "embargo" all federal taxes paid in Cali and only send the $$$ to DC if Mad King Don behaves.

    I hear that Conservatives do love their State Rights.

    All blue states should do that, take the gloves off and fight fire with fire.

    As long as you're legal and pay into the system then I'm on board. If you're able bodied and not willing to work 20 hours a week, or are illegal not so much.

    Go figure

    Who attacked who? If I was Nettenyahu I would have told Hamas to kill the hostages if they wish and the Israelis would exterminate Hamas after that. Doing this would have actually saved more lives than the 500 or so hostages.
