What role, if any, does superior genetic intelligence play in the Jewish-Islamic conflict? Both in terms of obtaining money/weapons/strong allies and in terms of carrying out deadly murderous yet effective attacks?

I just read this full thread. I genuinely was hoping for some intelligent and relevant comment from right wingers on this particular thread. Foolish me. Except for EtAl it is just disingenuous fluff and strawmen.

IMHO, the Founding Fathers had the right idea about not mostly disenfranchising rural States, but came up with a really lousy unfair solution. And if I had a better solution, I would share it with all of you.

The South and the Confederacy managed to come up with an even worse solution than the EC, so there is that.

Obviously Israel has been planning and plotting over the last two decades or so of relative peace in the region. Does that make them smart? Obviously Hamas and Hezbollah have been doing a really crappy job of scheming and preparing over the last two decades or so. Does that make them stupid? In fact, does that make Hamas Leadership the grand winner of the all time Stupid Award for initiating the attack on the Israeli music festival with litte to any plan for what to do when Israel predictably responds with overwhelming force? WTF?

We need a William Shakespeare for our times to adequately tell this story of modern tragedy and folly.

Mostly impoverished Hamas raids Israel from the Gaza Strip, kills over 1100 civilians and kidnaps over 200 civilians many of whom are raped to death. Israel invades Gaza, kills 50,000+ Palestinian civilians and completely flattens the entire Gaza Strip. From Lebanon, Hezbollah starts shooting thousands of mostly powerless rockets into Israel killing pretty much nobody, but causing anger and fear. Israel uses those attacks to justify a military ground invasion of Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon. Iran reacts to that invasion of their puppet regime and begins air raids bombing Israel, that mostly kill nobody, but once again ups the ante on the growing conflict.

Do I have this mostly right?

And who are the good guys in all this? Seriously. Is there anyone who the sane people can be "rooting" for?

Humanity sucks.

If the GOP had nominated Haley they would have won this election in a landslide.

Israel is doing everything in its power to escalate this conflict into an all out war against Hamas, Hezbollah and the hundreds of thousands of civilians who support them. There are no "lesser evils" in this conflict. Both sides are comprised of monsters.

The support for prosecution of Mayor Adam's for crimes he has been indicted for among pretty much all Democrats - leftist and centrist - tells you all you need to know about the difference between Dems and Trump supporters. Beyond any reasonable doubt the Dems are the Party of law, order, justice and the rejection of impunity for the wealthy and powerful. GOPhers are all getting away with crimes if it benefits their side.

Robson #11: That is like saying you cannot be pro-democracy but anti-Hitler, because, nominally, Hitler was democratically first elected. Ridiculous and offensive comment Robson.

What has Orange Fat Puddin' Pie NOT lied about? Seriously.
