    And the Russians have a 7:1 Kill Ratio in Ukraine. I'd love to know how Israel is "banning videos of damage" when I'm seeing videos of the Iranian rocket strike in Hafia?

    Boldface emphasis makes it true. It’s a fact.

    Sorry to be that guy, but it's Ordnance. The only Massive Ordinance Penetrator would be, like, the Presidential veto. ;)

    To address (again) your ongoing questions . . . I grew-up Catholic but my dad's two business partners, starting when I was 10, were Jewish brothers, one a rabbi. I grew-up with their kids and spent time at the Jewish Community Center, not just once playing tennis, like you. Given your claims about your second best friend, you should know that not all Jewish people, just like not all Christian people, or not all Muslim people, think the same . . . as automatons. There is civil unrest inside Israel because they don't all agree. A huge chunk doesn't agree. So lumping ALL Israelis and promoting a Tweet that "educated the world" on the "sickness that is the Israeli people" is nothing but anti-semitic and inconsistent with your claims. I can guarantee none of the Jewish mothers and fathers and children I grew up around would agree the Israeli people are any sort of "sickness," nor do I. If you can't see this, maybe you should post on other threads. If you have more questions, like anyone, you can send me, or me and OklahomaGator, a PM.

    what limitations need to be discussed. they should come to the table with a proposal on how they can be monitored to guarantee 0 enrichment.

    AND ... that the IRGC is specifically included in the agreement. They are not some sort of special organization separate from the Iranian government that is not subject to the agreement or any monitoring.

    Apologies. As a military man, certain things grate on me. Like when people says "sirs" instead of "gentlemen" or "sergeant majors" instead of "sergeants major." It's a character flaw that probably won't go away at retirement, I'm afraid.

    Depends on context. Nothing wrong with “yo” when I’m at the Gator Club.

    That could be painful. And consequential if one did not put some toilet paper on top of the water to soften the landing.

    I see your point. I wasn't promoting the X post. I simply wanted posters to hear what Gideon Levy had to say in the video linked to the X post. I'm familiar with Levy. Levy writes columns that appear in Haaretz. He is very well known in Israel and 3-4 years ago he received a prestigious Israeli journalism award (Sokolow award). He also received a journalism award from a Scandinavian country, the Palme prize.

    In the video Levy specifically stated that he is referring to "most, not all" Israelis. He thinks it's very unusual that the Occupiers (Jews) are presenting themselves as Victims of the people being occupied.

    The sickness Gideon Levy referred to was that many or most Jews in Israel have dehumanized Palestinians. That makes the ethnic cleansing more palatanle.

    Obviously no one thinks all Jews think the same and are "automatons." I've specifically pointed out that my Jewish friend Arnaud de Borchgrave was called an antisemite by the very Jewish (I would say Zionist) Paul Mirengoff at Power Line. Mirengoff eventually left Power Line. Their readership grew to dislike him.

    Figured that might be it. I'll find a tweet that doesn't' have an offensive comment.

    This is a similar cut of Levy's remarks that I posted before. I don't think this clip has Levy saying he is referring to "most, not all" Israelis but he did say that in the other clip
