@BriannaWu “Everybody knows the rules.” You vote for the lesser of two evils… 🤷♂️ I’m not clear as to what’s so evil about Portnoy, but even if your main premise is correct, he’s still far and away the lesser of the two…
@ElliotMalin@Alonso_GD@OzAmichai I don’t know about that. I suspect there’s a very real sense in which the Dunk can’t help but lie. I view the Dunk’s relationship to lying similarly to a heroin addicts relationship with smack. Perhaps someday Eli Lilly will synthesize some sort of Lieadon , but until then… 🤷♂️
@amanofthesoil There were close to 200,000 Black soldiers and sailors in the U.S. Army and Navy who fought in the civil war. None of them gave a damn? 🤔
@F1SlickG @tigeruncensored@TheModerateCase Which side was armed, trained and led by British commanding officers? The Arab Legion (Jordanian Armed Forces).
@MickeyGitzin@ProfDBernstein “The group is set to be led by [not who who you said it was going to be lead by]” = lie If your initial post had said that you believe it to be problematic to include them, in any way shape or form, though it would have been a very silly thing to say, it would not have been lie.
@BigSui31@academic_la What he wrote: "Hamas have lied about everything, they stole the aid, created the famine narrative and the gullible West believes it. They have no respect for anyone."
BigSui: “I have no doubt what you wrote is true but doubt it’s sanctioned by Hamas.”
@FilipMelanchton@steveplotnicki@Alonso_GD In other words, in various documents that didn’t exist when they fled and therefore confer no rights and establish no obligations? Got it.
@ElliotMalin I mean, I agree that preferable wording would have been something to the effect of, “The whole of the Islamic Republic will cease to exist after tonight as a resurrected Iran rises in its place,” but no one ever accused him of being a wordsmith.
@LetsGoBack___@MonicaLMarks Iran’s military was in fact check mated weeks ago. Against all reason, they refuse not only unconditional surrender but to negotiate a conditional deal.
As far as the religious line, you can argue it’s in poor taste for Easter etc. but you can’t argue the allusion isn’t apt,
@Alonso_GD 2/2 Who rallied for his release, organized a hunger strike for two weeks and fundraised for his bail? Israelis? Following his release from prison, whose first responders picked him up from the prison in a wheelchair. Israel again?
@Alonso_GD 1/2 Remind me Dunk, who arrested and jailed him for 58 days, where he was reportedly tortured by guards and attacked and beaten by other inmates after they discovered that he had converted to Judaism? Oh that’s right, the Palestinian Authority.
@LawrenceFo56660@rgoodlaw Well, that renders it potentially legitimate. The military advantage gained must still be proportionate to the civilian harm.
@DissidentYokel@Alonso_GD@AlexCrawfordSky Direct participants in hostilities don’t necessarily bear arms. If, under cover of journalism, they scout hostile troop movements and report the movements to Hezbollah Commanders they render themselves DHP’s and lawful military targets.
@Alonso_GD In IHL, Unprivileged Belligerents have all of the same “privileges” afforded to soldiers? They just named them in a Dunkish manner whereby “unprivileged” = “all of the same privileges?
@baum_p Would the appropriate Mohammadinistic response be for each individual infidel to commit suicide or would they all kill each other on the count of thallata?
@Alonso_GD * Agreeing to draft and sign a duplicitous document “giving Israel what it wants,” while engaging in every conceivable action to the contrary, hasn’t improved the material conditions of the Palestinians.
Fixed it for you Dunk. You’re welcome.
