Any Michael Rapaport fans? Can you explain this?

No, that was my wording and I stand by it. There is lots of scum out there that very definitely supports Hamas, either by saying that the slaughter was all a false flag by Israel or by directly saying that it was justified. Just like there is a lot of scum out there that supports Osama bin Laden.

Here is an interesting Israeli take I saw recently about American supporters of Hamas.

So Rapaport thinks the things will get less antisemitic with Trump as president? Maybe he’s losing roles because he’s a moron.

If there’s one thing the recent crisis has taught us is that Israel is much better off with Biden in charge than that Putin-fellating moron. My country owes the President an eternal debt of gratitude for his support.

You need to post in my local Jewish Facebook group. The hawks are out in droves and think Biden forced Bibi into the hostage release deal. I’m at my wits end dealing with some of these people.

Getting hostages back is a bad thing; did I miss something?

Nope, they are Common Clay of the New West. You know, morons.

I was raised Catholic.
( Hiss, spit, say all the hateful sh-t you want. Vent your religious hatred here. )

I quit that church because women have the right to both birth control and pregnancy terminations… and I would never let some bone-head brow beat me onto a bus to harass them.

Do what’s right, do no harm & keep the faith that in doing so you make the world a better place.

Perhaps in other religions… other people need to be shown the door like I was? Told that they can take their ignorant hate and their oil-smell guns with them?

No character in ANY bible, new or old testament, had a gun. None of them went to town killing people for bounties. Peace does not come from killing ( Hatfields vs McCoys is my cite ) .

Look, I’m not sure I’d be welcome in any Temple, even for a half hour.

I smell funny because I eat shell fish. ( With hot sauce and it’s good ).

But I’d never visit with the thought of leading people astray… leading people to murder and kill for the thrill, hatred, and blood-lust of war.

What is the excuse of these Hawks?
Are there no people with brooms to sweep them out the door?

( Between religion and hockey, I’m starting to like hockey better… )

Is this what a slam poetry session is like?

As a young kid, I did a stint as an altar boy. There was a chair in the back of the room that had the lockers where a priest would sit smiling and giggling as we changed clothes into Cassocks.

Slam that religion all you want.

It’s hard to kill Muslims during a cease-fire

???

We just put on cassock and surplice over our street clothes.

N. B. I’ve also left the RCC, but not for the behavior of the Church or any of its representatives.

It’s more the fact that when I look at the Nicene Creed as a checklist, I don’t check ANY of the boxes.

Or they think all the hostages should be released unharmed with no release of multiples of Hamas prisoners by the Israelis. I’m not naive enough to believe this would ever happen.

Yeah, Biden and the vast majority of the Israeli public. Your hawks are a bunch of idiots. Sure, it’s a bad deal, but we still have to take it. They have our kids.

I very, very much do. It’s no different than a pro-lifer calling their opponents pro-murder. It’s the same argument that anyone who is critical of Israel (the government)'s policies is an antisemite.

Claiming that people who disagree with Israel’s actions are in fact terrorist sympathizers is clearly false, and only makes everything worse. It’s something you say to incite hate and keep the fighting going. It prevents any attempt at finding common ground.

The reality is that most people are both against what Hamas did, but also against Israel’s response. Both involved too much unnecessary killing of innocent civilians. The people who think that Israel needs to go after Hamas and the people who think that will only make things worse still all agree that the killing civilians is bad.

@Darren_Garrison @FinsToTheLeft

Both of you seem to be missing my point. Yes, there obviously are a small number of people in the US who support Hamas, just like there was a small number of people who supported Bin Laden.

But the vast majority of people who do not support Israel’s actions are not pro-Hamas, nor are they antisemitic. That video that DG linked is at best ridiculous and at worst propaganda. It presents anyone who does not support Israel’s actions as if they are idiot kids who “stan” Hamas.

This Rapaport guy clearly thinks that anyone who says anything against Israel’s actions are antisemitic. He’s calling Hollywood of all places antisemitic.

And he’s complaining of being cancelled, and saying he’ll vote for Trump, because somehow that will fix it.

He’s apparently gone over the deep end on this. But DG reported his position in a way that made it seem like it had merit. That’s why I refuted it.

And, while I’m here: If you support Biden, @Alessan, then you’re supporting someone who is pushing Israel to stop the fighting, and who is pushing for a two state solution. This comedian would clearly think you were an antisemite for that.

And with that I’ll mute this thread, as it’s pissing me off too much.

You changed clothes into a cassock? We just put them on over whatever we were wearing.

I was 8 or 9. There were lockers where you’d put your coat & street clothes & stuff and where you’d hang up the cassock after. I’m old now & he was in his 40s then. He’s probably long dead now. That church was torn down in the 80s and a new church was built on the lot.

I never got touched or anything. I guess he got a ‘show’.
Like they all say, “prove it” except all the witnesses & evidence is gone. The monetary damages wouldn’t fill a wicker basket so there’s nothing to gain. Even if he was still around, he’d probably say I misunderstood his instructions. So that’s that.

Not sure what any of that has to do with death and murder in the middle east though…

Missed the edit window, just saw this.

Q: Isn’t Hezbollah the group that Rump recently praised…?

I’m pretty sure he said that none of this would have happened if he was still president. If the war continues long enough, he’ll end it just as soon as he’s inaugurated.

Just how is Jabba The Gut going to do that? A Magic Wand?

Herr Bronzer can’t even raise a mushroom without being spanked w/ a Forbes during Shark Week.
