... Israel actually has a pretty good checkpoint system. Even as bad as things are right now (and in general,) the rate is far safer than America...


The murder rate in Israel was much lower than that of the US...until last weekend. Running some quick numbers, a place that had 88 murders earlier in 2023 and 9.7 million people jumping to over 1,000 murdered makes it much less safe there than in the US. Yes, you can add the caveat "for now," but how long is that in this situation.

I don't think more armed people are ever the answer. More armed police and military certainly are. Israel actually has a pretty good checkpoint system. Even as bad as things are right now (and in general,) the rate is far safer than America. Israel does a good job both managing a country and managing very uncertain borders (to put it very lightly.)


An armed population is a big part of what made Mexico dismiss the Zimmerman Telegram.

As to Israel being "safer" you would not like the methods as most of what has made this happen is border walls, which you appear to be against. All in all my thought is you would want to leave Israel after a week if you were there.
I tip my hat to the new constitution, take a bow for the new revolution

Mary Trump had some unkind words for Uncle Donny today.

Quote:
“This f***king maniac likely gave [Vladimir] Putin (who gave Iran, who gave Hamas) Israel’s national security secrets….,”


She seems to be an attention whore like her Uncle.


She’s not wrong though.

As usual, ams posts to make Trump look bad (not difficult). But anyone who thinks anything Trump said to anyone in 2017 had anything to do with the savages attacking Israel last week is as bad as the silly Right wing conspiracy theorists.

Tlaib has a flag of Palestine at the entrance to her office. She is evil.

At least it's not a Hamas flag.
Deep State = sensible people trying to derail the sociopath

For those that don't think that students are being brainwashed.

"“In nearly 50 years of Harvard affiliation, I have never been as disillusioned and alienated as I am today,” former Harvard President and National Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers said Monday after over two dozen Harvard student groups issued a joint statement supporting the attacks."

I don’t think Harvard students are being brainwashed, because my brain is functional.

A quote from noted idiot Larry Summers proves nothing.
