    Fair points and well said!

    It's amazing to me that the author of the Kabul Bugout thinks he's an authority on how to best end a conflict.

    One Hundred Days of the Israel-Hamas War

    'One hundred days ago, the world changed. October 7 has proven to be many things: the opening salvo in a brutal war between Israel and Hamas; an attack that could precipitate a broader, regional war; the beginning of a global, ongoing orgy of antisemitism; a moral test that many in the West have failed; a wake-up call regarding the rot inside the West’s once-great sensemaking institutions; a possible realignment of our politics.'

    The more protest the more stuff like flags and scarfs you can sell to the protesters. The better they are dressed up the better the video you can send to youtube also to get money.

    Thank you for the link. I greatly admire Bari Weiss, the former NYT journalist who was harassed for her pro-Israel stance by her fellow journalists until she was forced to resign.

    Beats Zerohedge and Daily Wire. I don't like these two sources, even when they manage to get something right.

    I do like the Gaza videos the funny looking Jewish guys make to get money from YouTube.

    I care about the information, not the source.

    If a good source tells me that a square has three sides, they are still wrong.
    If a bad source tells me that a circle is round, they are still right.

    I follow no one blindly, and I'll accept real world facts from anyone.

    I was thinking as a way of joining in the money making off the protesters. Go to the Pizza Huts and ask for any old table clothes. Cut them up and sell them for the scarfs they wear around their necks.

    You seem frustrated.

    It can’t go into effect soon enough! Chicago shootings: At least 14 shot, 2 fatally in weekend gun violence across city, police say.

    Chicago adopts Gaza ceasefire resolution after mayor casts tie-breaking vote.

    Gaza Votes For Ceasefire In Chicago.

    'GAZA — Amidst an ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel, residents of Gaza banded together Thursday to vote for a ceasefire in Chicago, a city they say is an absolute war zone.'

    "We are appalled by the endless violence in Chicago. How can anyone live there?" declared Gaza resident Ahmed Al-Astal Abu Al-Najjar. "We must add our voice to the growing number of people demanding peace in this war-torn American city."

    'According to reports, there were 2,450 shootings in The Windy City in 2023 alone. "You'd be crazy to live in Chicago," Al-Najjar reiterated, shaking his head. "I don't care how good they say their pizza is."'

    '"All of these deaths could have been prevented if only the Chicago government would get their act together," Gaza resident Muhammad Mahmoud Muhammad Musa said as he voted in support of the resolution calling for a Chicago ceasefire.'

    'The text of the resolution calls for a permanent ceasefire in Chicago, humanitarian assistance, and for its citizens to immediately convert to Islam or die.'
