    Looks fake to me. Whose to say Hamas didn't kill them themselves? Sorry, not sorry. I ran it through a fake detector and it came back as fake, so you lose sir.

    Shut the fuck up already. There are military aged males all over the invasion videos. You’re not fooling anyone with your bleeding heart bullshit.
    What’s hilarious is the fact that I don’t really like Jews but you’re pushing me more toward their side with every stupid fucking post you publish on this site.

    This is why I shouldn't have bothered actually trying to provide some evidence. Cause I knew this would be your response. 
    Just admit you were wrong and move on. No need to resort to ad hominem attacks.

    Link that they are actually accurate? I've read and heard that they are literal bullshit scams. I can actually spend the time to find some more information but I don't it's worth proving you wrong because you don't give a shit about the dead babies.

    I just got back from Israel a couple months ago, it was a nice time.    I recall how it was so agricultural in the 90s, they had just a couple fast food places (things you think of as a kid).  I wanted to bring my Muslim wife with me, but she wasnt too interested.  Maybe next time.  All the family was asking to see her,.
    Jaffa is a really cool city in or next to Tel Aviv, seemed like an Arab country, except the bars open late and people walking on the street, mostly Arab but Israelis welcome.  
    I cant spend a ton of time there because theres too much horn honking, people cutting into each other, "chutzpah" but the food is really really good.. so good.
    I have a nice family, they dont seem to use the horn, except my super right wing cousin.  Dude loves Bibi and always defends him.   The rest of my family, much more laid back, quite liberal but nothing in the annoying "SJW avatar" kind of way here.   One was an F-16 pilot for a while, now a commercial airline pilot.   We had our first family meeting with all the young cousins from everywhere this summer.   There was drinking each time and I liked that.  Some of them left early to do a protest against Bibi on the last day.   The aforementioned pilot, and all his buddies stopped attending what was a routine military planning thing him and the rest of the Top Gun there had been doing, in protest.  
    My gramps came from Iran, his whole family was found slaughtered by him, throats cut open when he came home one day, took others away with him to what was Palestine.  My dad was the youngest of 7 siblings, and while many of his siblings participated in conflicts, he was in the most wars, with some brutal stories that fall through the cracks, and Im sure theres more he doesnt tell me.   The day he got out of the service, some hippie driving on the wrong side of the road clipped him so hard, he had to spend 6 months in the hospital and after getting bad blood, another 6 months (hepatitis).   He was the only one who left for USA.  He disliked his country for being nice to the people that tried to kill him and anyone like him.   He has grown to be OK with the Egyptians, it seems but never the Palestinians.
    Hes a big time Republican here, and really angry often about the Dems.  Hes quite mad that Israel let this happen.  My other right wing cousin is also mad that Israel wasnt able to protect its people.  My grandfather's last name, which is mine, is well known among Persians.  I really didnt want to move to Beverly Hills (not my speed) but the wife really wanted to, and my name seems to carry a lot of weight around here with the older people I run into.
    My cousins, they are all scared, going to bomb shelters that they are all familiar with, or getting ready to enter with a rifle, nothing in between.  They are nice, soft people who always felt bad for Palestinians, had them as friends and neighbors.  My lez cousin dated a Lebanese gal for a while, smokeshow....  I dated a (also really pretty) Palestinian girl once or twice while I was there.  She was in Ramat-Gan, a cool place that was upper class.   I think her family often travels to Switzerland, they have some money.
     
    I say all this because I see quite often how each side is so generalized like "the palestinians" or "the jews", and I dont see my family, my friends there, or myself really falling into one of those groups.   If anyone wants to say a prayer for my family its appreciated.  If instead you say one for the innocent people on the other side as well, thats cool also.  
     
    Hard times over here for me, but of course more so for them

    Who said they were victims? They are going to kick some Hamas ass in the next few months. Just like they kicked the PLO's and Egypt, Jordan, Syria Saudi and Iraq's asses in the 6 days war. You don't fuck with Israeli Jews unless you want your chick peas crushed.

    Just as long as he never comes near the Angels again. Why some Angels fans thought this guy was a good GM will always baffle me. Was it the move to acquire Danny Espinosa to be the starting 2B one year? Signing Luis Valbuena so Sosh could play him every day over a young David Fletcher? Having a bullpen fell of DFA waiver wires like in 2019 and 2020? We had Hansel Robles and David Hernandez pitching late in games. Besides bringing Ohtani here I can't think of one good thing that happened under his tenure. 7 years after his first draft in Anaheim, the only somewhat successful major leaguers I can think of from his drafts are Griffin Canning and Matt Thaiss. If I'm missing any someone can please enlighten me but just a reminder Adell, Kyren Paris and Jordyn Adams were all high draft picks of his. Kyren Paris and Adams look like total shit.  This guy was and is a horrendous GM imo. Say what you want about Perry, he tried and failed at the deadline and that's a fair criticism. But at least I can say his draft picks like Schanuel, Sam Bachman (if he can stay healthy) and Neto look like they could have potential great careers. Plus trading for O'Hoppe he's set up some good young players in the system. I don't want this guy anywhere near Anaheim again sorry.

    Arte Moreno is the worst thing that ever happened to the Angels. And there have been some really bad things.

    Not sure why.  This article is a pretty straightforward accounting of various aspects of the Angels organization.  If reporting what's actually happening (or not happening, when it DOES happen in most other organizations) is "hate," then does that mean you're only interested in hearing/reading about things if a positive spin is put on them?

    Love that CJ Wilson was trashing the Angels Spring Training facilities like not even having a gym for them..
    This is a great story and i hope it gets a lot of press because Arte and the front office need to be shamed publicly on how this franchise is being run.

    I'm curious if you read either the excerpts or the story itself, because if you did, you'd see that you don't disagree with Blum.  This is from the first excerpt and frames the rest of the story:
    "The consensus was that under owner Arte Moreno, the organization has not spent at the levels of its competitors in critical areas throughout the franchise, beyond just player payroll. And that this frugality is at the heart of the team’s failures."

    So I have to disagree with Blum here.
    It's not the fact that Arte hasn't spent enough -- he has run consistently large payrolls (but of course never really stepping over the Luxury Tax in any significant manner).
    Really the story, here, is HOW the money was spent. There you can point to poor investments in the Minor League system, large contracts handed out players that really, in retrospect (or heck, even at  the time they were signed!), should never have been paid that kind of money. Pujols, Rendon, et. al., the Angels have not invested well for the most part.
