    Bill is great as always.

    I say the extremes don't define the conversation.

    Did you notice that he tells both sides of the story? So not
    propaganda. Bill deserves to be heard.

    So, I've noticed you and Nick have not told both sides of the story,
    only opinions. You guys don't seem to be big on history.

    Two extremists, one at each end: Noah thinks it's Biblical prophecy;
    Nick thinks it's genocide against the Arabs (refugees who went from 700
    to a million population since 1947) and that Israel should be divided up
    so everyone has at least 1 hectare.

    So not propaganda.

    And you would be knowing this how?

    What did Bill say? Can you sum it up in just a few words. Thanks.

    Apparently, the real Palestinian refugees are at least 75 years old now.

    "Their number is about 10,000rCo15,000. And thererCOs no Palestine for them
    to return to. It's Israel now, and no one is waiting for them here. This
    issue is closed.

    History:

    To better understand the situation, we should review the history behind
    the emergence of the so-called Palestinian refugees.

    During the 1948 Palestine War, which was initiated by five Arab states
    aiming to destroy Israel, around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs fled their
    homes. In 1949, the newly founded UN agency UNRWA defined them as
    Palestinian refugees, and declared that their patrilineal descendants
    would also inherit this status.

    This made them the only group of refugees in the world whose status is
    legally inherited.

    As a result, being a Palestinian refugee essentially became a family
    business. UNRWA pays them for being refugees, providing food, housing,
    and other services. Instead of solving the refugee problem, this totally corrupt and absolutely ineffective body has multiplied the number of
    refugees from 700,000 to over 6 million. Quite a rCLsuccess.rCY The more refugees there are, the more funding and jobs for UNRWA."

    The interesting thing for me would be if you listened to what he said
    and could tell me where he tells of hate for palestinians and their persecution. It is easy to miss, so many who don't want to hear that
    do not.

    It's good to hear or read both sides of any debate. Not sure if stand up comics can pull it off. Out of the box it's already offensive.

    There's no "Jews" - if so, they should be able to be defined. All Jewish individuals are different.

    The phrase "No Jews" is widely classified as both an offensive term and
    a form of discriminatory hate speech.

    Historically, it refers to exclusionary policies (such as "No Jews or
    Dogs" signs) used to bar Jewish people from accessing housing,
    employment, and public accommodations.When used today to exclude or
    target the group, it functions as an ethnic slur and a manifestation of antisemitism. YMMV.
    While "Jew" is a noun, "Jewish" is the adjective.

    Note: Some may find the noun "Jew" used to describe someone offensive in certain contexts, making the phrase "Jewish person" generally safer,
    unless you're Nick, then you just make up a new derogatory. Who care?

    It's pretty tense in London today.
    The Palestine Solidarity Campaign is organising a march to mark the 78th
    Nakba Day, which remembers the mass expulsion of Palestinians from their
    homes in the Arab-Israeli war in 1948.

    The route of the rally passes close to Westminster Synagogue on Saturday lunchtime, when Jews will be leaving after worshipping on their holy day.

    Simultaneously a few streets away the far right are at it too.

    A match made in hell. It'll be interesting to see how well the
    police keep them apart. During the highly surveilled and curtailed
    marches it should be relatively safe but after when the crowds disperse
    and head for the rail and coach stations it'll be much harder to keep
    them apart. I'm not sure if the trains have planned policing but
    there'll more or less certainly be numbers of both marches, drunk on
    booze or righteous fervour, sharing trains for a few hours.

    deaths per capita (direct and indirect) ... and isn'treal is smack dab
    at the center of it

    Let's face it, with Israel, and now a US foothold in the Middle East,
    all we need to do now is a little sorting. The question is:

    Who benefits most from the export of Iranian oil?

    Bill is great as always.

    Bill Maher was born to a Jewish mother and an Irish-Catholic father. He
    was raised in the Catholic faith but did not discover his Jewish
    heritage until he was a teenager. Today, he identifies as an atheist and
    does not practice either religion

    I say the extremes don't define the conversation.

    From a Buddhist perspective, you should hate nobody. Is that the
    baseline, or something else puts people over the edge?
    Did you notice that he tells both sides of the story?

    So, I've noticed you and Nick have not told both sides of the story,
    only opinions. You guys don't seem to be big on history.

    And we certainly do not recognize you as any sort of expert on
    anything at all.

    Two extremists, one at each end: Noah thinks it's Biblical prophecy;
    Nick thinks it's genocide against the Arabs (refugees who went from 700
    to a million population since 1947) and that Israel should be divided up
    so everyone has at least 1 hectare.

    So not propaganda.

    And you would be knowing this how?

    I told you how.


    Bill deserves to be heard.

    What did Bill say? Can you sum it up in just a few words. Thanks.

    The interesting thing for me would be if you listened to what he said
    and could tell me where he tells of hate for palestinians and their persecution. It is easy to miss, so many who don't want to hear that
    do not.

    Bill Maher noted that the political far-left and far-right agree on
    almost nothing, except for their animosity toward Israel and Jewish people.

    He sharply criticized both "woke" campus progressives and right-wing
    figures for using rhetoric that stokes antisemitism Like you and Nick.

    It's good to hear or read both sides of any debate. Not sure if stand up >>> comics can pull it off. Out of the box it's already offensive.

    There's no "Jews" - if so, they should be able to be defined. All Jewish >>> individuals are different.

    The phrase "No Jews" is widely classified as both an offensive term and
    a form of discriminatory hate speech.

    Historically, it refers to exclusionary policies (such as "No Jews or
    Dogs" signs) used to bar Jewish people from accessing housing,
    employment, and public accommodations.When used today to exclude or
    target the group, it functions as an ethnic slur and a manifestation of
    antisemitism. YMMV.
    While "Jew" is a noun, "Jewish" is the adjective.

    Note: Some may find the noun "Jew" used to describe someone offensive in >>> certain contexts, making the phrase "Jewish person" generally safer,
    unless you're Nick, then you just make up a new derogatory. Who care?

    There you have it, Bill, no matter what, there will be some who can
    denigrate you. Even you.

    Standup comics should maybe stick to comedy to make people laugh. YMMV.

    If they have a platform, why not use it. Everyone else does.

    Perhaps we would. Maybe not. This would be propaganda if he made no criticisms of the right.

    Actually bill has had this kind of criticism of the left for a long
    time. He has also brought dems on his show and asked them why the
    dems are having such a hard to dealing with r's should be easy
    pickings.

    A memorable quote of his is, "comedy goes where the funny is. I spend
    most of my time criticizing the right because that is where the funny
    mostly is right now."

    It is not fair to take leftie criticism out of context and making it
    seem he has no criticism of the right.

    It's good to hear or read both sides of any debate. Not sure if stand up
    comics can pull it off. Out of the box it's already offensive.

    There's no "Jews" - if so, they should be able to be defined. All Jewish
    individuals are different.

    The phrase "No Jews" is widely classified as both an offensive term and >>>>>>> a form of discriminatory hate speech.

    Historically, it refers to exclusionary policies (such as "No Jews or >>>>>>> Dogs" signs) used to bar Jewish people from accessing housing,
    employment, and public accommodations.When used today to exclude or >>>>>>> target the group, it functions as an ethnic slur and a manifestation of >>>>>>> antisemitism. YMMV.
    While "Jew" is a noun, "Jewish" is the adjective.

    Note: Some may find the noun "Jew" used to describe someone offensive in
    certain contexts, making the phrase "Jewish person" generally safer, >>>>>>> unless you're Nick, then you just make up a new derogatory. Who care? >>>>>>
    There you have it, Bill, no matter what, there will be some who can >>>>>> denigrate you. Even you.

    Standup comics should maybe stick to comedy to make people laugh. YMMV. >>>>
    If they have a platform, why not use it. Everyone else does.

    It's just not funny - politics, sexism, anti-Semitic tropes or
    homophobic smears. YMMV.

    Comedian Byron Allen appeared on CNN today to discuss replacing Stephen
    Colbert's late-night slot:

    His show, Comics Unleashed, would be a "clean comedy" format. He stated
    his approach is simply to "just be funny" rather than tackling politics, >>> stating:

    "We donrCOt do anything thatrCOs racist or sexist or anti-Semitic or
    homophobic. Comedians should just make you laugh."

    Why not have both (clean and.. ummm... not clean?) and you can choose which >> one you want to audience for.

    Apart from under 7yos, it's hard to get a laugh without offending at
    least one body.

    Under 7 - the sanest we'll ever be.

    That's great but, unfortunately, the people who

    There you have it, Bill, no matter what, there will be some who can

    Standup comics should maybe stick to comedy to make people laugh. YMMV.

    No, bill, I really appreciate it when you tell us what stinks. Even
    if half the population would not hear you if they did listen.

    Nobody watches late night comedy anymore - that's old school. These days
    it's all about the clip - shorts, for short. Young people today are into
    three second clips, not an hour long variety show with one lame comedy act.

    Advertisers are no longer willing to pay the high premiums of the past
    because viewers increasingly consume clips on digital and on-demand
    platforms rather than watching live broadcasts.

    It's really none of your business what women wear.

    Having said that, the Biblical prophecy is that women must be covering
    their ears with a veil, lest the demons might enter into the women's
    heads and then pervert their minds and tempt men into sexual activity
    which might bring physical pleasure, thus turning them into harlots.

    You can't make this stuff up.

    That's great but, unfortunately, the people who
    need to watch it through to the end won't. Do though,
    in spite of it being skewered in the vid, batten down
    the hatches for an incoming tsumani of "whataboutery."

    there's literally no content in that for me

    And yet...


    he tries to claim other countries/situations are worse... but nothing >>>>> in the 21st century is actually worse than the middle east wars
    You 21st century kids don't know how lucky you are.

    that doesn't justify what *is* still going on,

    Good, it wasn't meant to.

    or defend the people
    causing them: namely zionists and muzzies

    Good, it wasn't meant to.

    You aren't going to tell us what it was meant to do are you?

    Julian isn't here right now, so let me say this about Zionism:

    The entire Middle East is composed of countries whose borders are just
    lines in the sand.

    Having said that, let me just say that Zionism is a nationalist
    political movement that originally advocated for the creation of a
    Jewish national state.

    For the State of Israel as the Jewish homeland.

    It is rooted in the concept that Jewish people, like other nations, have
    a right to self-determination in their own ancestral homeland.

    Why?

    The movement emerged in late 19th-century Europe as a response to
    growing antisemitism and the need for a safe haven where Jews could
    avoid persecution.

    Note:

    The term Zionism is derived from "Zion," the historical Hebrew name for
    a hill in Jerusalem, representing the ancient cultural and religious
    ties the Jewish people have to the region as native inhabitants.

    That being said, everyone knows that the Hebrews are a branch of the Canaanites and therefore indigenous Semitic speaking people of the Levant.

    But then there are those brats (a minority to be sure) but even in our midst,
    who don't discriminate. They hate both sides!

    To one who has chosen a side, hating neither might look like hating
    both.

    or it might look like an easy way out.

    Or it might look like a reflection on the credibility of both sides.
    Especially if both have been accused of crimes against humanity and
    warrants issued.

    Oh, you know those female modesty garments (I can't think of the names
    right now) that muslims sometimes want women to wear.

    I don't think anyone objects to anything that muslim women wear.

    At least no overtly. Unexpressed disapproval/resentment/censure
    counts too. Funny how people can feel like, if they don't express it
    openly, it is ok.

    Except in
    Quebec if they want to teach school or be identified somehow. Ha

    It's an epitomic category error.

    my what a delicious big word. It means

    epitomic category

    Is that confusing enough?

    I think julian wants to say that such garments are not in the same
    category as the star of david. I disagree. The star of david is not
    about female modesty, but beyond that both are clear religous symbols.
    And probably get about the same level of tolerance from the rest of
    us. Nothing overt, of course.

    A keffiyeh is a scarf that is traditional to Palestinians and it has

    At this point, I'm sure almost everyone knows the significance :)

    Even if they do, the shawl is not a religious symbol. The star of
    david is a religious symbol. The total body coverings that some
    muslim women wear are religious symbols.

    So let's remember, why is there resentment towards arabs? Because
    some bombings, etc have been attributed to them, which means in our imaginations that all such destruction is attributable to them. It
    becomes no longer a matter of individuals doing nasty, it becomes in
    our imaginations all members of a group sharing responsibility simply
    because they are members of that group.

    So it is that the entire destruction of gaza is ok in our minds. There
    is no point of sufficiency where somebody might say, ok enough. Not
    only do we destroy the place, but we build an amusement park in its
    place. Is that enough? Oh, I don't think so.

    I would say there is no comparable hatred for a group, no comparable destruction of a culture anywhere in the world than for gazans.

    A scarf. So chances are most people would not know what they are
    seeing. Not comparable to a star of david. I was reaching for
    something that would compare.

    It-As a symbol of Palestinian nationalism and is warn by activists to show >>> support for Palestinians

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_keffiyeh

    Thanks. The point is that without wiki, few people would know the
    significance.

    At this point, I'm sure almost everyone knows the significance :)

    A significance is that, unlike Jews and the Star of David, relatively
    few Muslims, in their Niqab/Hijab/Burka/Chador/Duppata or Muslim
    adjacent with their Keffiyehs, literally fear for their lives if
    they dare wear an indicator towards their faith/ideology in public.

    Most jews don't fear wearing the star of david either, although some
    might. In fact, most religious people of whatever stripe do not wear
    a symbol of that. "relatively few Muslims".

    My point remains. There is no point in gaza where we say, ok enough.
    Stop now. There is no comparable calamity. Right now. Anywhere. In
    fact we do not even see it as a calamity. hohum.

    > that's what u fking sheeple believe, eh??? ???

    That list is a demonstration of what? Resentment towards people who
    are intelligent, competent and successful?

    Of course, there are dumb jewish people, but the evidence does suggest
    that as a group, they tend to have more of what it takes to compete in
    human societies generally than the rest of us. As they have once
    again demonstrated in the building of the nation of israel.

    In a history class one day I asked, spain was at one time among the
    most successful european countries. Now they are among the least
    successful (that might have improved somewhat since I asked that
    question a very long ago), yizzat?.

    Answer: Spain at one point destroyed its merchant class, which would
    be jews since that is one of the few endeavors jews were allowed to
    undertake a few hundred years ago.



    So, here again, along with my abhorring the calamity of gaza, you see
    me not taking sides. Wrong is always wrong and anybody can do it.
    Even jews, even palestinians and other arabs, as evidenced by the
    warrants for war crimes against both sides.

    I think julian wants to say that such garments are not in the same

    about female modesty, but beyond that both are clear religous symbols.
    And probably get about the same level of tolerance from the rest of

    A keffiyeh is a scarf that is traditional to Palestinians and it has
    nothing to do with female modesty or religious symbol.
    Look it up!
    Apparently, a head covering is worn by both men and women of various
    religious sects: for men a rag rolled up and for women a head scarf.

    The question is: why do Muslim and Christian women must be covering
    their ears, but not the men?

    The Biblical prophecy is that women must be covering their ears with a
    veil, lest the demons might enter into the women's heads and then
    pervert their minds and tempt men into sexual activity which might bring physical pleasure, thus turning them into harlots.

    You can't make this stuff up.

    ItrCOs a symbol of Palestinian nationalism and is warn by activists to show support for Palestinians

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_keffiyeh

    Apparently, the keffiyehs has been traditionally worn by Bedouins to
    protect from the sun, when Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire.

    It's the equivalent of a baseball cap, not necessarily religious, more
    of a political statement.

    Yasser Arafat wore one and he was Egyptian. YMMV.

    Thanks. The point is that without wiki, few people would know the

    At this point, I'm sure almost everyone knows the significance :)

    Even if they do, the shawl is not a religious symbol. The star of
    david is a religious symbol. The total body coverings that some
    muslim women wear are religious symbols.

    Be careful about posting opinions about what women wear, especially for religious purposes. Almost all women on the planet wear body coverings.
    In India they call them saris.

    Women's Head Covering: It must function as a headscarf that securely
    covers your hair, neck, ears, and chest. Not like a necktie.

    Now back to the political meaning:
    So let's remember, why is there resentment towards arabs? Because
    some bombings, etc have been attributed to them, which means in our imaginations that all such destruction is attributable to them. It
    becomes no longer a matter of individuals doing nasty, it becomes in
    our imaginations all members of a group sharing responsibility simply
    because they are members of that group.

    So it is that the entire destruction of gaza is ok in our minds. There
    is no point of sufficiency where somebody might say, ok enough. Not
    only do we destroy the place, but we build an amusement park in its
    place. Is that enough? Oh, I don't think so.

    I would say there is no comparable hatred for a group, no comparable destruction of a culture anywhere in the world than for gazans.

    Arguing about which party caused the most killing in a war is typically referred to as whataboutism or a tu quoque (appeal to hypocrisy) fallacy.

    A casual or slightly derogatory term for someone who avoids taking a
    firm side and stays in the middle. Equivocator.

    Is that confusing enough?

    A keffiyeh is a scarf that is traditional to Palestinians and it has
    nothing to do with female modesty or religious symbol.
    Look it up!

    A scarf. So chances are most people would not know what they are
    seeing. Not comparable to a star of david. I was reaching for
    something that would compare.

    ItrCOs a symbol of Palestinian nationalism and is warn by activists to show >> support for Palestinians

    so everyone has at least 1 hectare.

    So not propaganda.

    And you would be knowing this how?

    I told you how.


    Bill deserves to be heard.

    What did Bill say? Can you sum it up in just a few words. Thanks.

    The interesting thing for me would be if you listened to what he said
    and could tell me where he tells of hate for palestinians and their
    persecution. It is easy to miss, so many who don't want to hear that
    do not.

    Bill Maher noted that the political far-left and far-right agree on
    almost nothing, except for their animosity toward Israel and Jewish people.

    He sharply criticized both "woke" campus progressives and right-wing
    figures for using rhetoric that stokes antisemitism Like you and Nick.

    He also noted that you can wear a keffiyeh anywhere but Jews are now afraid to
    wear a Star of David pendant.

    How about all those various female covering, except head, garments? >>>>>>>>>> Does somebody object to those?

    ?

    It's an epitomic category error.

    my what a delicious big word. It means

    A scarf. So chances are most people would not know what they are
    seeing. Not comparable to a star of david. I was reaching for
    something that would compare.

    It?s a symbol of Palestinian nationalism and is warn by activists to show >>>> support for Palestinians

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_keffiyeh

    Thanks. The point is that without wiki, few people would know the
    significance.

    At this point, I'm sure almost everyone knows the significance :)

    Even if they do, the shawl is not a religious symbol. The star of
    david is a religious symbol. The total body coverings that some
    muslim women wear are religious symbols.

    So let's remember, why is there resentment towards arabs? Because

    as an american i don't see a need to have a particular resentment since muzzies didn't actually blow up the world trade centers Efn+

    that was just a ploy to get us to hate the muzzies

    some bombings, etc have been attributed to them, which means in our imaginations that all such destruction is attributable to them. It
    becomes no longer a matter of individuals doing nasty, it becomes in
    our imaginations all members of a group sharing responsibility simply
    because they are members of that group.

    So it is that the entire destruction of gaza is ok in our minds. There
    is no point of sufficiency where somebody might say, ok enough. Not
    only do we destroy the place, but we build an amusement park in its
    place. Is that enough? Oh, I don't think so.

    I would say there is no comparable hatred for a group, no comparable destruction of a culture anywhere in the world than for gazans.

    At this point, I'm sure almost everyone knows the significance :)

    A significance is that, unlike Jews and the Star of David, relatively
    few Muslims, in their Niqab/Hijab/Burka/Chador/Duppata or the Muslim
    adjacent with their Keffiyehs, literally fear for their lives if
    they dare wear an indicator towards their faith/ideology in public.

    Most jews don't fear wearing the star of david either, although some
    might. In fact, most religious people of whatever stripe do not wear
    a symbol of that. "relatively few Muslims".

    All body coverings are somewhat political, not religious. You want
    religious - go naked.

    You think Sean Connery wearing a kilt is not political?

    My point remains. There is no point in gaza where we say, ok enough.
    Stop now. There is no comparable calamity. Right now. Anywhere. In
    fact we do not even see it as a calamity. hohum.

    Who is this "we" of whom you speak?

    So, to sum up your position on Gaza, it's a calamity and you don't care,
    one way or the other because there's no hope.

    That list is a demonstration of what? Resentment towards people who
    are intelligent, competent and successful?

    Of course, there are dumb jewish people, but the evidence does suggest
    that as a group, they tend to have more of what it takes to compete in
    human societies generally than the rest of us. As they have once
    again demonstrated in the building of the nation of israel.

    In a history class one day I asked, spain was at one time among the
    most successful european countries. Now they are among the least
    successful (that might have improved somewhat since I asked that
    question a very long ago), yizzat?.

    Answer: Spain at one point destroyed its merchant class, which would
    be jews since that is one of the few endeavors jews were allowed to
    undertake a few hundred years ago.



    So, here again, along with my abhorring the calamity of gaza, you see
    me not taking sides. Wrong is always wrong and anybody can do it.
    Even jews, even palestinians and other arabs, as evidenced by the
    warrants for war crimes against both sides.

    You have got to be kidding!

    Nick say you took by force native land. You're on it now. So, Nick
    want's it given back to spread around the wealth. It's happening right
    now in your own back yard.

    Give it!

    where's wilson? or dud? do you all really believe this is just mUh FrEe MaRkEt

    EfEaEfEaEfEa

    So, it's all about Wilson.

    So, I'm beginning to wonder what exactly you think being Jewish is.

    Apparently, you're thinking it's all about money or property or real
    estate. Jews have it. You want it. Simple enough.

    Noah seems to think it's part of Hebrew Biblical prophecy.

    So, being Jewish is not a race, or a language dialect.

    So, what is it, really?

    Does your opinion have anything to do with the Messianic, as Wilson
    suggested? Specifically, the Messiah death cult? It doesn't matter -
    there are apparently no Christians on this list anyway, so I guess you
    came here to get enlightened.

    how in the fuck does 0.2% of the global population have it's fucking
    grubby hands all over so much of social media??? i'm supposed to
    believe
    this was the /just/ the result of mUh FrEe MaRkEt, eh???

    -a-a > that's what u fking sheeple believe, eh??? ???
    -a-a >
    -a-a > #god

    That list is a demonstration of what?-a Resentment towards people who
    are intelligent, competent and successful?

    i'm sorry, u actually think that's a result of mUh FrEe MaRkEt success???

    EfnuEfnuEfnu

    where's wilson? or dud? do you all really believe this is just mUh
    FrEe MaRkEt

    EfEaEfEaEfEa

    So, it's all about Wilson.

    So, I'm beginning to wonder what exactly you think being Jewish is.

    Apparently, you're thinking it's all about money or property or real
    estate. Jews have it. You want it. Simple enough.

    Noah seems to think it's part of Hebrew Biblical prophecy.

    So, being Jewish is not a race, or a language dialect.

    So, what is it, really?

    Does your opinion have anything to do with the Messianic, as Wilson suggested? Specifically, the Messiah death cult? It doesn't matter -
    there are apparently no Christians on this list anyway, so I guess you
    came here to get enlightened.

    like i've said before:

    i came everywhere to get enlightened EfiaEf2i

    becomes no longer a matter of individuals doing nasty, it becomes in
    our imaginations all members of a group sharing responsibility simply

    So it is that the entire destruction of gaza is ok in our minds. There
    is no point of sufficiency where somebody might say, ok enough. Not

    from attempts to intimidate dissidents living in the US to the
    peddling of Communist party propaganda, the recruiting of members of
    the military to steal state secrets to the theft of artificial
    intelligence know-how and the smuggling of top-end chips to train AI
    models. Late last year, a Chinese national even pleaded guilty to
    bringing a biological pathogen into the US. Multiple Chinese-linked
    biolabs have been found across the country, often in residential
    areas and with garages filled with potentially deadly viruses.

    Eileen Wang, who could face as many as ten years in jail, ran a
    website called the US News Center, which described itself as a source
    of news for Chinese Americans living in Arcadia, but was accused of
    pumping out CCP propaganda. The Department of Justice said a Chinese
    government official sent Wang pre-written articles via the WeChat
    messaging app, a Chinese phone application widely used in the Chinese
    diaspora. One article identified by the DoJ denied allegations of
    well-documented abuse of ethnic Uyghurs in Xinjiang province.

    In the New York case, federal prosecutors alleged that during a visit
    to China in 2022, Lu Jianwang was tasked with opening an unofficial
    rCLpolice stationrCY on behalf of the Chinese government in the cityrCOs >>> Chinatown. He began by offering apparently innocuous services to
    Chinese nationals, such as help in renewing driversrCO licenses, while
    using this as a cover to locate a pro-democracy activist living in
    the US. According to Safeguard Defenders, a human rights group, China
    operates more than 100 of these centers in at least 50 countries,
    instruments of what they call rCLtransnational repressionrCY against
    opponents. Lu faces 30 years in jail.

    On the eve of TrumprCOs China summit, Beijing was accused of massive
    intellectual theft from American AI labs, through a process called
    distillation rCo whereby China illicitly trains its smaller AI models
    on the output of larger (and expensively developed) US models. rCLThe
    US government has information indicating that foreign entities,
    principally based in China, are engaged in deliberate, industrial-
    scale campaigns to distill US frontier AI systems,rCY according to a
    memo written by Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office
    of Science and Technology Policy.

    US prosecutors also claim to have busted an international smuggling
    ring that funneled advanced chips worth billions of dollars to China
    in defiance of export controls. The smugglers allegedly set up an
    extensive and lavishly funded network of front companies to get round
    US restrictions on the sale of chips.

    Last year, the FBI revealed details of a Chinese espionage operation
    dubbed Salt Typhoon, whereby BeijingrCOs cyber spies burrowed deep
    inside the systems of more than a dozen of AmericarCOs largest telecoms >>> companies, picking off high-value targets and accessing call logs and
    text messages. They had even compromised the rCLlawful interceptrCY
    system that US police and intelligence agencies use to implement
    court- authorized surveillance. It was the most extensive and
    ambitious Chinese cyber espionage operation ever exposed.

    Chinese espionage is like an enormous vacuum cleaner, hoovering up
    technology and information on a colossal scale. It utilizes multiple
    intelligence-gathering techniques, both formal and informal. And it
    has been at the heart of ChinarCOs decades long program of economic and >>> military modernization.

    Under Xi, China has become more ambitious and brazen. While all
    states seek to exert influence rCo it is, after all the stuff of all
    diplomacy rCo ChinarCOs operations are mostly clandestine, operating in >>> the shadows, usually through front organizations and individuals. It
    methodically targets politicians, influential businesspeople and
    academics who might be useful to the party. Overseas Chinese
    individuals and organizations have been a particular target.

    After Eileen Wang agreed to plead guilty in Arcadia, assistant US
    attorney Bill Essayli said: rCLThis plea agreement is the latest
    success in our determination to defend the homeland against ChinarCOs
    efforts to corrupt our institutions.rCY But is America really doing
    enough to counter these Chinese threats? Democrat Senator Mark
    Warner, vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence,
    last year warned that a politically-driven purge of the FBI is
    damaging the BureaurCOs ability to take on Beijing. A quarter of FBI
    agents have been redeployed from counterterrorism, cyber and
    espionage to immigration roundups.

    Concerns have also been raised about the state of the USrCOs digital
    defenses. David Mussington, a former head of Infrastructure Security
    at the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the
    agency tasked with protecting AmericarCOs most critical systems, has
    warned that while adversaries are pouring money into enhancing their
    cyber abilities, the Trump administration has gutted CISA. Its budget
    has been cut by nearly half and a third of its staff has been fired.

    rCLWe made some fantastic trade deals,rCY Trump said as he left China.
    Yet little of the detail has been released, while national security
    seems not to have been mentioned at all. BeijingrCOs operations on
    American soil are only going to intensify until its leaders decide to
    act.

    does not practice either religion

    Two extremists, one at each end: Noah thinks it's Biblical prophecy;
    Nick thinks it's genocide against the Arabs (refugees who went from 700
    to a million population since 1947) and that Israel should be divided up
    so everyone has at least 1 hectare.

    So not propaganda.

    And you would be knowing this how?

    I told you how.


    Bill deserves to be heard.

    What did Bill say? Can you sum it up in just a few words. Thanks.

    The interesting thing for me would be if you listened to what he said
    and could tell me where he tells of hate for palestinians and their
    persecution. It is easy to miss, so many who don't want to hear that
    do not.

    Bill Maher noted that the political far-left and far-right agree on
    almost nothing, except for their animosity toward Israel and Jewish people.

    He sharply criticized both "woke" campus progressives and right-wing
    figures for using rhetoric that stokes antisemitism Like you and Nick.

    He also noted that you can wear a keffiyeh anywhere but Jews are now afraid to
    wear a Star of David pendant.

    How about all those various female covering, except head, garments?
    Does somebody object to those?

    ?

    It's an epitomic category error.

    my what a delicious big word. It means
    Embodying, summarizing, encapsulating

    epitomic category

    Is that confusing enough?

    I think julian wants to say that such garments are not in the same >>>>>>>>> category as the star of david. I disagree. The star of david is not >>>>>>>>> about female modesty, but beyond that both are clear religous symbols.
    And probably get about the same level of tolerance from the rest of >>>>>>>>> us. Nothing overt, of course.

    A keffiyeh is a scarf that is traditional to Palestinians and it has >>>>>>>> nothing to do with female modesty or religious symbol.
    Look it up!

    A scarf. So chances are most people would not know what they are >>>>>>> seeing. Not comparable to a star of david. I was reaching for
    something that would compare.

    It?s a symbol of Palestinian nationalism and is warn by activists to show
    support for Palestinians

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_keffiyeh

    Thanks. The point is that without wiki, few people would know the
    significance.

    At this point, I'm sure almost everyone knows the significance :)

    Even if they do, the shawl is not a religious symbol. The star of
    david is a religious symbol. The total body coverings that some
    muslim women wear are religious symbols.

    So let's remember, why is there resentment towards arabs? Because

    as an american i don't see a need to have a particular resentment since
    muzzies didn't actually blow up the world trade centers ?

    that was just a ploy to get us to hate the muzzies

    The world must seem a scary place to you.

    idk world made so much more sense to me after awhile of accepting 911
    was an engineered demolition setup to look like a terrorist attack...

    the part i really can't figure out is: who in the fuck decided to do
    911, on the date 911?

    > was someone trying to get god's attention or wat???
    >
    > #god

    like u think some backwater muzzle planned that date so precisely???



    some bombings, etc have been attributed to them, which means in our
    imaginations that all such destruction is attributable to them. It
    becomes no longer a matter of individuals doing nasty, it becomes in
    our imaginations all members of a group sharing responsibility simply
    because they are members of that group.

    So it is that the entire destruction of gaza is ok in our minds. There
    is no point of sufficiency where somebody might say, ok enough. Not
    only do we destroy the place, but we build an amusement park in its
    place. Is that enough? Oh, I don't think so.

    I would say there is no comparable hatred for a group, no comparable
    destruction of a culture anywhere in the world than for gazans.

    "The search continues for the numinous or hieroglyphic significance of
    the date September 11. Believers in propaganda by deed, like Gavrilo
    Princip and Timothy McVeigh, usually choose to invest themselves with portentousness by selecting an anniversary that will freight their
    murder with meaning. Often, it is a date that only meant something to a
    very limited or arcane circle until its true value was unveiled to a
    stunned world. Thus Princip chose the date of Serbia's 14th century
    defeat in Kosovo and McVeigh chose the anniversary of Janet Reno's
    bloodbath at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.

    I've also frequently heard it suggested that the timing of the recent
    attacks was linked somehow to the signing of the Camp David agreement in September 1978. I thought this sounded a plausible reason for the
    death-squads circling that date in their diaries - until I discovered
    that the agreement was in fact signed on September 17. Fanatics don't
    make mistakes like that.

    I now think I can provide a more persuasive explanation, however. It was
    on September 11 1683 that the conquering armies of Islam were met, held,
    and thrown back at the gates of Vienna.

    Now this, of course, is not a date that has only obscure or sectarian significance. It can rightly, if tritely, be called a hinge-event in
    human history. The Ottoman empire never recovered from the defeat; from
    then on it was more likely that Christian or western powers would
    dominate the Muslim world than the other way around. In our culture, the episode is often forgotten or downplayed, except by Catholic
    propagandists like Hilaire Belloc and GK Chesterton. But in the Islamic
    world, and especially among the extremists, it is remembered as a
    humiliation in itself and a prelude to later ones. (The forces of the
    Islamic Jihad in Gaza once published a statement saying that they could
    not be satisfied until all of Spanish Andalusia had been restored to the faithful as well.)

    If my speculation is correct, then whoever wanted to destroy the hearts

    the part i really can't figure out is: who in the fuck decided to do
    911, on the date 911?

    Random fact: Construction of the Pentagon began with groundbreaking on September 11, 1941.

    "The search continues for the numinous or hieroglyphic significance of
    the date September 11. Believers in propaganda by deed, like Gavrilo
    Princip and Timothy McVeigh, usually choose to invest themselves with portentousness by selecting an anniversary that will freight their
    murder with meaning. Often, it is a date that only meant something to a
    very limited or arcane circle until its true value was unveiled to a
    stunned world. Thus Princip chose the date of Serbia's 14th century
    defeat in Kosovo and McVeigh chose the anniversary of Janet Reno's
    bloodbath at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.

    I've also frequently heard it suggested that the timing of the recent
    attacks was linked somehow to the signing of the Camp David agreement in September 1978. I thought this sounded a plausible reason for the
    death-squads circling that date in their diaries - until I discovered
    that the agreement was in fact signed on September 17. Fanatics don't
    make mistakes like that.

    I now think I can provide a more persuasive explanation, however. It was
    on September 11 1683 that the conquering armies of Islam were met, held,
    and thrown back at the gates of Vienna.

    Now this, of course, is not a date that has only obscure or sectarian significance. It can rightly, if tritely, be called a hinge-event in
    human history. The Ottoman empire never recovered from the defeat; from
    then on it was more likely that Christian or western powers would
    dominate the Muslim world than the other way around. In our culture, the episode is often forgotten or downplayed, except by Catholic
    propagandists like Hilaire Belloc and GK Chesterton. But in the Islamic
    world, and especially among the extremists, it is remembered as a
    humiliation in itself and a prelude to later ones. (The forces of the
    Islamic Jihad in Gaza once published a statement saying that they could
    not be satisfied until all of Spanish Andalusia had been restored to the faithful as well.)

    If my speculation is correct, then whoever wanted to destroy the hearts
    of New York and Washington was animated by something more than a recent grievance over the West Bank or the Iraqi sanctions."

    So, it's all about Wilson.

    So, I'm beginning to wonder what exactly you think being Jewish is.

    Apparently, you're thinking it's all about money or property or real
    estate. Jews have it. You want it. Simple enough.

    Noah seems to think it's part of Hebrew Biblical prophecy.

    So, being Jewish is not a race, or a language dialect.

    So, what is it, really?

    Does your opinion have anything to do with the Messianic, as Wilson
    suggested? Specifically, the Messiah death cult? It doesn't matter -
    there are apparently no Christians on this list anyway, so I guess you
    came here to get enlightened.

    like i've said before:

    i came everywhere to get enlightened EfiaEf2i

    You came to the right place if you want to post small talk.
