Why do we want to save the nation that is burning us up with space lasers, Ajax?
I'm a Mormon. I believe I'm adopted into the tribe of Ephraim. I believe my Lord Jesus Christ is not very happy about what the Palestinians have done. When He returns many people will be surprised when chooses not to turn the other cheek this time round. Israel hasn't asked us to save them. They've only asked the world to allow them to save themselves and we've continued to hold them back from this only to see the same cycle repeat itself over and over again.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Better yet, look at hard you fought Trump's efforts to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the US.
Ah yes, all of those Hamas terrorists who were living inside of Israel at the time of the attack.

If the Jesus you are talking about is the one described in the Bible, I think it's fair to say that you are the one in for a surprise.

Exactly how has the U.S., which provides massive military support to Israel and has for decades, been "holding Israel back?" Holding them back from doing exactly what? Another round of ethic cleansing? Genocide?

The recent events have clearly demonstrated why Trump's wall was and will continue to be a complete waste of taxpayer dollars.

Stupid damned Mormon. :roll: . You don’t even know what the tribe is, what its history is, or where it was even located. Adopted into the tribe. :roll: damned voodoo hoo woo nonsense that a white ‘Aryan’ is adopted into the tribe of Ephraim.

Also, shame on you for turning your back on your ancestral gods. Makes me sick. I hope the Allfather whips your ass for that.

I believe that Jesus was Jehovah, the Great I am of the Old Testament. I guess we'll find out some day but no I don't believe he always turns the other cheek nor allows abusers to harass their victims in Heaven. In fact I think he has borders around the Celestial Kingdom.

Boy, do I have some geopolitical news for you, . . .
Then why don't you explain it instead of making useless remarks? You know, like engage in discussion?

Even with my own limited knowledge on the topic, at least I try to learn. Not take up space.

Maybe so. My Lord is a Jewish Carpenter, not exactly the antisemite you've tried to paint me as.

… I don't have any follow up questions to what you posted because quite frankly, you understand military strategy better than I ever could so wrapping my head around this kind of thing comes slow to me.

I’m not at all a military strategist of any quality, whatsoever. I just happened to sit in ~50’ish high-level briefs covering a range of topics in a few countries with a few different agencies. So, I have, maybe, a little bit of insight to command-level talk, thinking, planning, and operations.

Tell me why you think they are shoving the Gazans to the south.

Total war.

Are they trying to force them on Egypt?

I don’t think they care what the Gazans do. I think there’s a sort of nationalistic fervor happening right now, and I don’t know how long the bloodlust will last.

Or

Are they trying to pile them up in one place to make it more convenient to blast them off the planet?

I think we’re in ‘inshallah’ mode at this point.

They are trying to make them evacuate and relocate entire hospitals of patients. I don't get the feeling they care if the patients or citizens in general make it to the south or not. That's why I'm asking if they're simply corralling people into one place to exterminate all the Gazans, get them out of the way so they can occupy the territory.

And I thought I heard one commentator say that the what...Hamas brass (?) is in Q'tar so would they (the "owners" of Hamas) even care if there was an extermination of the Gazans?

I don’t where they’re at, but if they’re in Qatar, it’s not going to go well for Qatar.

And Cam I thought Iran was funding Hamas (and Russia was on their side which is why I originally posed the China question but now you're saying China's not invested in the ME) so what are they doing in Q'tar if that's even true?

Probably meeting with Iranian and Russian officials planning their, I mean Russia’s next move.

I thought the Arabs had a good relationship with Israel.

Think of it like Hollywood prison politics which are based on race.

Be patient with me...I'm trying to learn. If you get sick of me asking questions just tell me and I'll shut it.

You’re good, but just remember I’m just a guy chit chatting. I don’t know crap from “F” (Ozark ref).
Oh, Israel is hitting targets in Lebanon right now, so that might be where some of that ‘leadership tree’ went to.
