Routing the bastards and taking complete and permanent control of Gaza is necessary. There's a PR aspect, for sure. But whatever Israel does there will be Holocaust deniers and Jew-haters. PR is a drop in the bucket to the real task.
A historical aspect of this is that one of the primary atheist charges against the Bible are the stories of the Hebrews moving into some area after having wiped out the residents. Without context, this seems horrific. But in Biblical times, Israel would have been more than justified in killing or enslaving every man, woman, and child in Gaza.

When the Romans finely defeated Carthage they destroyed every building and salted the earth. My recommendation for Gaza is the same. these are people that cheered when Jews were slaughtered I don't care if they suffer. Let them go and live in the desert.

Kunstler writes what has been obvious for decades, but the Goyim have always been afraid to point out for fear of being called anti-Semitic. Not so here. At R&T, we have pointed out the disproportionate influence Jews have had upon American society. Jews have been enormously successful in a country which let them flourish according to their talents. Good for them. We have also pointed out the that a large number, perhaps a significant majority of, secular Jews are lefties. We have noted the insanity and downright stupidity of such leftist positions over the long term. Sooner or later, the left always turns on the Jews. Bringing about one's own self-destruction is not rational unless one hates oneself or is stupid. Time to shape up and reassess things

The democrat party is on a suicide mission and willing to take everyone along. It must be defeated!
No truer words have ever been written.
The Democratic Party has decided it’s okay to use the law in bad faith to persecute and jail its political opponents. The Democratic Party has destroyed American’s faith in the federal courts, the Department of Justice, and the FBI. The Democratic Party allows an invasion of millions of unvetted aliens across the border, quite a few of them possibly bent on making mayhem here as global tensions careen into hot war. The Democratic Party is still pushing Covid vaccinations that are well-understood at this point to be ineffective and unsafe. And the Democratic Party is doing everything possible (with help from RINO Republicans) to destroy our financial system. You could easily make the case that the Democratic Party is the anti-American Party.

This from Tablet www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/the-israel-opTrump is right. The best way for America to avoid entering foreign wars is to get the details straight, or else relaying White House and Iranian talking points will obscure the factor most likely to lead to Armageddon—that the Biden administration is determined to give Iran’s murderous regime the bomb.
It’s nearly impossible to believe it and most people won’t until it’s too late. The American right can’t afford self-pity and self-delusion.

I like the writer's opening sentence. It sounds very similar to something I wrote a few days back.
The Biden regime is wholly responsible for the position in which we now find ourselves. I sometimes ponder how things will change once Iran develops a nuclear weapon. None of my conclusions, in this regard, are very positive. Trump kept this program at bay, but Biden (read the Obamanation) has done all he could to help the Persians get the Bomb.
Now what?
I would have said destroy their bomb making capability, but this is now a very dangerous option. Under Trump, most of the world was either with us, or wouldn't think of crossing us. Those days are now gone, thanks to Biden.

You would hope that there are a whole lot of people – Jew or non-Jew – who are reevaluating their positions in light of recent events.

Bill Maher, of all people, hits it out of the park. www.breitbart.com/clips/2023/11/04/maher-academia-has-waged-war-on-western-ideas-that-have-made-life-better-for-the-marginalized/For all the progressives and academics who refer to Israel as an outpost of Western Civilization like it’s a bad thing, please note, Western Civilization is what gave the world pretty much every goddamned liberal precept that liberals are supposed to adore: individual liberty, scientific inquiry, rule of law, religious freedom, women’s rights, human rights, democracy, trial by jury, freedom of speech, please, somebody stop us before we enlighten again.

It would appear many are, but there are still the holdouts who will never give up their leftist pacifiers. Alan Dershowitz has written an article about the coming split in the American Jewish Community which is coming about due to leftists. Tearing the Jewish Community Apart Let me correct, or modify something the professor says. He states that in many recent protests, To be more precise, translating "Judenrein" as to be "free of Jews" does not quite do the word justice. The word "Rein" in German means "clean" and is also used as "pure" such as in the famous German law about the exact, and only, ingredients which can be in a German beer. The Reinheitsgebot. Other ingredients are "contaminates." The Nazis very often couched their policies in an almost medical language. Terms like "hygienic" were used to give the impression of illness, on the one hand, and health on the other. For a country to be "Judenrein" was for it to be healthy, strong and pure. It my opinion, "free of Jews" doesn't quite give the true meaning of the word. Understanding the language of one's opponents is very important in trying to understand them.

Mayers says, As someone who has likely read more Asian history than 99.99% of Westerners, I can agree with Mayer on part of his comment about the teaching of Asian history. In fact, I recall one conversation I had about twenty-five years ago with my old polysci professor about this and Western Civ courses needing to be expanded.
That said, the problem is more fundamental. History is virtually no longer taught in America. I believe that to be the real problem. How the hell can we teach Asian history if we can't even teach our own history? This spread of ignorance and misinformation is intentional.
As to Mayer's remark that "frankly, there's not as much to study" as regards Asian and African history....my only comment is "BULLSHIT." I cannot speak to African history, but Asian history is a huge area, and there have been countless interactions between the West and the East throughout history. So Asian history and Western history are intertwined at times.
While Mayer's remark is ignorant, he is on the right path and if he applies himself for, the next fifteen or twenty years, he too will be able to learn something about Asian history.

I still don't trust this guy as far as I can throw him. His "liberalism" was always the gateway drug to leftism and he impresses me as a man wearing no seatbelt who is thrown out of the car and can't understand why.
Bill Maher and his type made their living out if mocking and marginalizing every decent value of those who worked to uphold the things he says he holds dear. Conservatives, Christians, white people, businessmen, stay-at-home-moms...these were all mocked as outdated and regressive. "The marginalized," as he refers to it, were always (and continue to be) the license to overthrow all institutions and ideas that were not invented five minutes ago by the Utopian left.
Frankly, adult-children such as Maher truly have no idea what is going on. He is just parsing words. And I can get ChatGPT to parse words in the billions if need be.
Just as it is not enough for the politicians and other authoritarians to merely apologize for the Medical Tyranny that they imposed, so too it is not enough for Bill Maher to simply parse words. He needs a true come-to-Jesus moment. He needs to recognize and apologize for the rot that has come out of his mouth for the past decades….the very rot that led to the circumstances that he bemoans.
That said, he is making sense for the first time in his life. Maybe it's more than just verbal diarrhea. Like I said, I don't trust him. But if he's going to continue to evangelize by saying the things he's saying now, then more power to him. But understand that he is, at heart, a rat.

That's a good point, ChatKFZ.
Exactly. apply himself and show that it's not just a passing sophistry.

Precisely.
Forgive me, Alan. But I think most Jews in this country share the same dark heart as more explicitly shown by those evil students having rallies promoting a second Holocaust. "Liberal" Jews typically aren't as showy about their Leftist sentiments, but I believe that dark heart is there, in essence if not degree-of-heat as shown by the college students.
This is about more than party affiliation. A great many Jews in America (and not just Jews, of course) have been wandering in the wilderness for decades, worshiping the Golden Calf of government, Leftism, and therefore atheism.
That is to say, as Alan suggests, their ought to come a breach between Jews and Leftism. But I'm not holding my breath. I doubt it will happen or if it is even possible. Slaughter all the Jews in Israel and Jews in America will still vote Democrat.
This is not an antisemitic rant. This is an anti-stupid-Leftist-Jew rant. Consider that it is written in the bible that G-d offered Jews a way out and a way to a better life (the same theme modeled exactly in the New Testament). Was this all just biblical baloney, made-up stories of old? Or is there a core truth here: Jews, on their own, will fall into evil...as will any other person, Jew or non-Jew. Change religions first, my wandering Jewish friends. The rest will take care of itself.

For a leftist to venture so far from the line Maher is taking the common agenda to task. I agree there is very little to place trust in his rants but, it is a massive crack the leftist wall. A more telling thing will be what he says this time next year.

This is changing as the fertility bomb drops on leftist households. Pew research presents some interesting stats to something already apparent in reform and conservative congregations, fewer in attendance and most of those gray haired. The future of American Jews in in the orthodox and Hasid communities, who overwhelmingly voted in 2020 for Donald Trump. These same communities in Israel, who avoided service in the IDF before 10/7, are now volunteering in record numbers. The next government in Israel, with or without BIbi will be more religious and more conservative. www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/05/11/jewish-demographics/

You are welcome. To dot my i's and cross my t's let me finish by saying that the literal translation of "free of Jews" would be "Judenfrei" Jew free. Bad enough, but not as creepy, malicious as Judenrein.

I'll believe the crack when I see it, Herr Artler.
I was particularly moved and informed by some of Dennis Prager's anecdotes about moving away from his Leftist/Jewish upbringing. I believe the rebellion was not aimed at either/or because I don't believe he was able to distinguish between the two at the time of his yute.
He talks about eating bacon as an act of rebellion. Other little things followed and he noted how enormously difficult it was to break outside of the box he was in. But then, of course, he began to see the true picture: Liberal/Leftist Jews were in rebellion against G-d. Being Jewish wasn't the problem (not that he ever thought it was). It was the liberal part.
One of the few people I've heard refer to Leftism as a religion (outside of us here) is Dennis Prager. So what we're really talking about is people being persuaded to leave their false religion. And even the blood of a few thousand innocent Jews at the hands of Hamas and their liberal-leftist apologists isn't likely to sway them.
The problem comes from the lack of leaders in this country. If we had 10,000 Dennis Pragers, there would be guidance for the many Jews (or non-Jews). They could be shown that there is a place to come home to.
But as it is now, the turmoil will simply bounce those balls out of their holes. But without the gravity to move people elsewhere, they will just fall back into those same holes because they know nothing else.
However, if liberal Jews are demographically dead-ended, then that's something.
