Oh look, more of the NCAA being dumb for no reason other than to pretend that it's important and has actual power (neither are true, btw). https://t.co/fzN0n3fikI
The two new FBS programs can still make a bowl game if there aren't enough 6-win teams.
This is the editorial cartoon which the Washington Post deleted.
The cartoon by Michael Ramirez, titled “Human Shields” depicted a Hamas leader using civilians as human shields.
The truth might hurt, but it’s still the truth.

That’s what mates are for!
A Palestinian pro-Hamas rally was meant to be held in Auckland, New Zealand today.
Then a group of #Maoris came and led a Haka in support of Israel.
The Palestinian-Hamas cowards quickly cancelled their rally.

Free Palestine mob uses the word Occupation as a silver bullet, an argument to counter all arguments, that if Palestinians live under occupation, their misery is explained and their reaction to occupation, even if criminal, is justified under international law.
Now the catch here is that the Free Palestine mob never specify which part of the land is exactly occupied. Those who wanted to put October 7 "in context," mentioned 1948, just like those who celebrate nakba every year. If 1948 is the disaster, then Israel itself is the occupation (not the West Bank Israel captured from Jordan and Gaza it captured from 1967).
Under international law, Israel on 1948 is not an occupation. It is a sovereign state, recognized by the UN and over 150 countries. Arabs who live in Israel are Israeli citizens. If they have issues with the state, that's not occupation.
Now the disputed 1967 land. Palestinians were never, throughout history, sovereign over this land or had a state there (for it to be occupied). Egypt and Jordan conceded 1967 landed to Israel in peace treaties and their status became disputed pending final agreement between Israelis and Palestinians. Israelis entered into 1993 Oslo Accord that partially conceded control to Palestinians on the way to a full state. Hamas suicide bombed the peace process during which Palestinians refused three offers to construct their state on 1967 land, insisting on demands that infringe on Israeli sovereignty (such as return of Palestinians to Israel or other issues).
Still, Israel conceded more 1967 territories to Palestinians, in 2005, when it Israel shrank its control by handing Gaza strip over to the Palestinian authority, vacating settlements in Jenin and other spots in West Bank. Had Palestinians exploited Israeli withdrawal to build their state on the land they control, they could have expanded their state through agreements with Israel to get more of the occupied land. But what did Palestinians do? They elected Hamas, which calls 1948 land, Israel, occupation, and shouts from the River to the Sea Palestine will be Islamic Arab. Hamas missed a chance of creating a state by turning Gaza into a spot that just killed 1200 Israelis a month ago.
So when you say occupation, don't think that everyone would bend over backwards and take the rest of your arguments as being error proof.
Factoid: Since 1929, not a single day has passed without Arabs killing, or trying to kill, Jews. Even during peak peace (1993 Oslo-2000), Hamas never stopped suicide bombings.
Will leave this here for those who argue that Arabs/Palestinians tried peace, but were always rebuffed by evil Zionists.

It's funny, there was another coach who recently retired who won 900+ games, 3 national titles, and only coached one NBA All-Star, and yet people often debated whether he could actually coach https://t.co/x1qWudeEWq
Inconvenient facts for “Pro-Palestinian” protesters:
- Hamas is stealing fuel and electricity from the people of Gaza — including the hospitals — to provide energy for their network of terror tunnels. They have half a million litres underground according to Palestinian officials.
- Israel provides only 10% of water and 45% electricity. It’s not up to them to “restore electricity”
- Israel is not bombing hospitals though they have every right to as Hamas headquarters is in Al Shifa hospital
- Hamas instructed Palestinians not to differentiate between combatants and civilians in the casualty counts.
- Hamas is claiming they have the names and photos of “thousands” of killed Palestinians — within days of these bombings taking place. Amazing considering Israel hasn’t even been able to name all the victims from 3 weeks ago. 9/11 victims took months to count. Miraculous don’t you think?!
- Hamas is stealing humanitarian aid from UN agencies like UNRWA
- Hamas is firing rockets from civilian areas and headquarters their operations in a hospital.
- Hamas is recruiting children to fight and die for the Palestinian cause as terrorists, then claims “children” were killed.
We’re only 7 games into the season and the NFL has dished out $13 Million in fines. The most frustrating being TD cellys…
Stop the fines so we can bring these iconic moments back (A Thread):
@UNC_Humor Just can’t understand why they abandoned the run on the next to last drive. Hampton had 112 yards on 19 carries. Oline pass blocking was terrible and Maye was a little bit off tonight.
