Kinda hard to compete with Dozy Don: “Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was. The Battle of Gettysburg. What an unbelievable — it was so much and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways. It represented such a big portion of the success of this country. Gettysburg, wow.”
Notice the difference between how Israel responds to Iran (and by the way, Israel attacked first) and how they respond to Hamas. With Iran they show restraint. With Hamas, they kill everyone BUT Hamas. You cannot claim honestly that the utter devastation in Gaza is only Hamas’ fault. Nor can you claim that it is in anyway justified. In fact, with Bibi, the Hamas attack would not have been possible.
This entire genocide — and since it is the destruction of an entire people, it does qualify as a genocide — has nothing to do with Israel’s safety but with Netanyahu’s lust for land (or should we say Lebensraum?) and his need to keep Israel in hot conflicts in order to distract from his legal problems.
Like my dad says, “If it’s not up to at least $100 million, it’s not worth the effort.” I figure a lottery ticket is a good alternative when I have a hankering for a candy bar. Costs about the same and has fewer calories.
Back in the 1941, one of the authors (John R. Neill, I think) of the Wizard of Oz book series wrote “The Scalawagons of Oz,” which included sentient semi-autonomous vehicles that did all the driving for you. I’ve wanted one ever since I read that book back in the 60s.
