Trump : Palestinians, please move out of GAZA. We (USA) will clean it up and make it the Riviera of the middle east. Then you can come back.

I asked in 1982 did anyone from Gaza or Lebanon conduct an attack on Israel that equals or exceeds the magnitude of the attack on Israel on October 7?
Your argument is still baced on the concept that only the country that is illegally occupying another country has the right to self defence.
You can start going through the history of resistance and intifadas if you like, but your central premise is legally and morally wrong.

The right to self defence belongs to Palestinians, not to those occupying them.

Whatever that means.
My claim is that muslims fucked up voting for Trump and they did so out of revenge.
It was stupid to do so.
Do you deny that?
Trump won because 24 million people who voted in 2020 didn't vote this time.
8 million people who voted for Biden stayed home and didn't vote for Harris and said the biggest reason was the genocide.

Muslims did not vote for trump.

You are talking about something entirely different that has nothing to do with the question I asked.
I asked if in 1982 there was an attack on Israel that was equal or of greater magnitude than October 7.

The poll you posted disproves that. It says nothing about the people who stayed home.

You are asking if the resistance to the illegal occupation justified genocide in 1982 the way you argue the resistance killing 400-800 civilians justified genocide now.

If he’s gonna clean it up and make it the Riviera, maybe he would focus on Scarborough, I wonder if we can get those residents to move out for a while

Why don't you answer his question about 1982 instead of praising him?

FYI, Oct. 7 was an attack on Jews and Israel. It's the same as when say that you hate Zionists you are saying that you hate Jews.

In either instance, you are fooling nobody.

This is the poll link
Where does it say that 19M voters stayed home because of Gaza? It just doesn't.
It says that of the voters who voted for Biden in 2020, but did not vote for Harris in 2024 AND voted for someone else, 30% did so because of Gaza.
Entirely different than what you are claiming.
Unless am misreading something there.

No dont put words in my mouth.
I am asking a direct question.
Was there an attack on Israel in 1982 that equaled or exceeded in magnitude the October 7 attack?
Where am going with this is, if the answer to that question is a no, then you cannot expect Biden to do what Raegan did. (And we all know the answer to that question is NO).
But you wont say it and instead you want to put words in my mouth and tell me what I am asking even though I am asking a very clear question.
If you cant discuss honestly then there is no point in going back and forth because half my efforts are in telling you not to put words in my mouth.

Are you talking to hamas who totally fucked them over and used them as pawns? They were the biggest supporters of this. They got the ball rolling on Oct.7 and haven't looked back.
I have condemned both Hamas for what they did on Oct. 7th as well as Netanyahu's response with the indiscriminate killings of those Civilians.
The root cause is the Israeli resistance to the two State solution. Most Nations around the world agree with a separate Palestinian Homeland and not the illegal occupation that has been on the rise over the decades!!

That deal that Arafat walked away from looks pretty good about right now doesn't it?

Obviously, when an extremist assassinates Rabin and then Netanyahu takes over and induces the illegal occupation of The West Bank and other Palestinian territories , obviously he had no intention like he does today towards a two state settlement!!

So tell me what has he done? It seems like they're getting wasteful spending and keep the humanitarian aid going...it doesn't mean no USAID there won't be any...the cries of the left is simply louder than it needs to.
They froze payments by USAID and claimed it doesn't exist anymore.
Didn't you see them pulling the letters down and everything?

There was no "keep the humanitarian aid going".
They said those could get a waiver and then fired the people who process the waivers.
That way they can pretend they aren't doing what they are doing.

Of course, once again, you are classifying all spending you don't like as "wasteful", which is just you supporting illegal actions to effect policy change you want but are afraid you wouldn't be able to accomplish legally.

This brings us back to the pre election debates and your argument that in an election between hitler and hitler lite you have to vote for hitler lite. While enough people just said they can't vote for any form of hitler at all. Which is why the hitler always wins in that kind of contest.
Yes!
You have finally seen the logic that if the people don't decide to try and stop Hitler they get Hitler.
Because Hitler always wins when you abstain from the contest.

I'm glad that seems to have finally sunk in.

Using your example...
That is not what people did though.
They voted for hitler because they were angry at hitler lite.
That is stupid.
No.
I mean, yes, some of the people Frank was pushing were very clear that they would vote for Trump specifically to punish Biden, that usually hasn't been Frank's position and wasn't the position of many of the groups we are talking about here.
Frank is arguing that they stayed home and let Hitler win because stopping Hitler wasn't important enough to them. Despite the repeated warnings that Hitler would be worse for the specific cause they claimed to believe in, refusing to sully themselves by casting a vote for someone who would be less bad was more important.
(There were also some arguments that actually, it was impossible to say if Hitler would be worse than Hitler lite, because despite his history as President before and his rhetoric about what he intended to do, the future is always a hypothetical so maybe it would work out. And then there was the "if Hitler-lite loses then everyone will know it is because of this issue and the Hitler-lite party will completely support us in the future. It is worth 4 years of Hitler to get a small, theoretical voting advantage in 4 years.)

This is standard operating procedure.

There were probably a dozen questions I had over the last 15 months where, he was afraid to answer and he used the exact same tactics. In the end, it was his reputation that took the hit. Nobody was fooled.
