A senior officer in Hamas's security forces has told the BBC the Palestinian armed group has lost about 80% of its control over the Gaza Strip and that armed clans are filling the void. The lieutenant colonel said Hamas's command and control system had collapsed due to months of Israeli strikes that have devastated the group's political, military and security leadership. read more
Dubai, known for its glittering skyscrapers and opulent lifestyle, hides a disturbing trend beneath its luxury facade: the emergence of degrading "Porta-Potty" parties. These events, thrown by wealthy individuals, lure young models and influencers with promises of large sums of money, lavish gifts, and upscale hotel stays. However, the reality behind the glitz is one of extreme sexual degradation, potential physical harm, and legal risks for the women involved. read more
American households that make about $250,000 or more are typically considered to be in the top 10% of earners. Many in that bracket realize that the number sounds huge - and by many measures, affluent Americans are indeed thriving. Yet the top-line figures can mask a sense of financial fragility in many high-earning families. read more

So you're where Israel was 25 years ago. Before the Palestinians defecated on Bill Clinton at Camp David and handed power to Bibi and his ilk by going full nutter with attacks on Israeli children at restaurants and buses.
Second IntifadaLeading Israel to decide it was best to cut the Palestinians out of their lives, including by no longer granting Palestinians work permits to enter Israel. Which bought Israel decades of relative peace, as opposed to greeting every weekend with another Palestinian terror attack on innocents.
Palestinian terrorists committed a number of suicide attacks later in 2001, among them the Sbarro restaurant massacre, with 15 civilian casualties (including 7 children); the Nahariya train station suicide bombing and the Pardes Hanna bus bombing, both with 3 civilian casualties; the Ben Yehuda Street bombing with 11 civilian deaths, many of them children; and the Haifa bus 16 suicide bombing, with 15 civilian casualties.

And the Palestinians cry and play victim. All children are innocent in their eyes, so long as they are Palestinian.
Watch the Palestinians refuse peace, yet again. And then cry about it when they launch their next terror attack and get their gefiltes handed to them.

This revelation comes as Israel continues to starved Palestinians in Gaza for over 145 days. Over 122 people, most of them are babies, were staved to death by Israel.

Wow! Those are almost October 7th numbers, if you multiply by ten.
Yes, civilians die during war. Maybe the Palestinians should have thought about that before starting this one. But of course they did. Dead Palestinian "civilians" is the entire reason you guys called down the hand of Allah on October 7th.
And now the world will get to watch you guys refuse to recognize Israel's existence (again) in September and make lame excuses for doing so. And this French offer will lapse and the Palestinians will add another notch to their belt of losses.

"The Democratic brand is so bad that they don't have the credibility to be a critic of Trump or the Republican Party," said John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster who worked on the Journal survey with Republican Tony Fabrizio. "Until they reconnect with real voters and working people on who they're for and what their economic message is, they're going to have problems.""Got it! Spend more time lecturing voters on why biological males should be allowed to displace females in sports and anyone who disagrees is a hateful bigot who should be burned at the stake!"

Now if France will just give them some tanks and air defense systems to stop the genocide.

You think that giving tanks to people whose founding charter called for installing an Islamist state that will kill all the Jews will "stop the genocide?"
1988 Hamas charterThe only thing stopping the Palestinians from killing every Jew they can lay their hands on is their lack of means. As demonstrated by the 70%+ approval rating Palestinians give their October 7th atrocities ("Over 70 Percent of Palestinians Support Hamas's October 7 Terror Attack," March 21, 2024 www.nationalreview.com )
The original Charter [...] defines the struggle to be against the Jews and calls for the eventual creation of an Islamic Palestinian state in all of former Mandatory Palestine, and the obliteration or dissolution of Israel. The charter has been criticized for its use of antisemitic language, which some commentators have characterized as incitement to genocide.
en.wikipedia.org
Meanwhile, Israel has all the tools needed to commit an actual genocide, but they have demonstrated remarkable restraint. Far more restraint than an American government, Democrat or Republican, would have shown in their place. Despite the fact that instigating such a response was the Palestinians' entire goal for the October 7th atrocities.
But the Pro-Hamasers continue bending over backwards to portray the terrorists as victims, now even calling for the Western world to arm them.
In any event, France's offer to recognize Palestine requires Palestinians to recognize Israel. Watch the pro-Hamasers try to excuse away the Palestinians' refusal to do so. Because what they really want is to see the Jews dead. Whining about alleged Palestinian suffering is just the means to that end.
Blue States deciding to get rid of gerrymandering was one the most idiotic decisions they ever made. They left Red States free to double down to steal the House.
Avoiding Unilateral Disarmament is not Hypocrisy
while it would be best if there were no gerrymandering, so long as legislatures in red states gerrymander their congressional districts, it would be foolish unilateral disarmament for blue states to fail to do the same.

And you'll be there toasting marshmallows crying your crocodile tears at man's inhumanity to man.
Poo in one hand and fill the other with soil from the fictional-never-existed-in-the-history-of-the-world nation of Palestine. See which one fills up first.
So which is it? Are they "Hamas" or "Palestinians"? And when someone says "stop the genocide" can that apply to Palestinians as well as Hamas?

Wut? The only genocide is what the Palestinians will do to the Jews if they ever have the means.
As for the rest of your spiel, 70%+ of Palestinians support the October 7th atrocities to this day. You deny them to this day. The Palestinians celebrated in the streets of Gaza on October 7th, just like they did on 9/11 to celebrate the death of American innocents. Palestinians and their supporters took to our streets the same day to protest the brand of paper towels the Jews used to wipe up the blood of their children.
So, blah blah blah, I will laugh long and hard when the Palestinians again throw away their chance at statehood in September out of their hatred for the Jews and their mistaken belief that people who lose the wars they start get to dictate the terms of their surrender.
