98. That entire area has been a quagmire forever

Thu Dec 7, 2023, 04:33 PM

Dec 2023

I am not a Bernie Lover, but it seems he was just making a reasonable statement of his thinking...........I certainly don't think that Israel should just lie down and take whatever the Hamas has to hand out.................that having been said, I have loathed Netanyahu for the last 10-15 years............

The Hague, War Crimes Commissions, Geneva Convention, United Nations??????????????? That all went out the window..........in 2001, starting with Cheney, Rumsfeld and the Military Industrial Complex, with many of our Beloved Nation following. You can start with their outright condoning TORTURE of Soldiers and civilians.........

My mind went to a song 70? years ago that many of us heard repeatedly on radio, until the REPUBLICAN OWNED RIGHT WING RADIO STATIONS BANNE IT......

At the Run-up to the Iraq war, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc got Sinclair and other RW radio stations across America to ban THE TOP 100 WAR SONGS FROM THE 60'S.....This song was #1 on the list. The war songs of the 60's, influencing our younger generation was something they did not want to deal with again..........

Hey! There are WAAAAY too many accustions of anti-semitism here. Is Sen. Bernie Sanders an anti-Semite? [View all] TeamProg Dec 2023 OP
