Hamas invaded Israel 2023

He definitely doesn't have dementia. I may not agree with him on a lot, but don't mistake being older and occasionally stumbling, for not having his facilities.

As I understand it, the decision was made in Isreal to not release the pictures to outside of government to spare the parents, families and generally the world. While knowing that babies were beheaded is disturbing, is a lot different in seeing it, as well there were many other indignities done to the bodies beyond that.

Normally I would fully agree with that decision. but sadly the world needs to see exactly what they are supporting when they say stuff. As for Biden, he is reminding me very much of my father who had early stage dementia.

Well if the government is willing to freeze the bank accounts of anybody who donated a few bucks to our own truckers who they conveniently labelled as terrorists, they sure as f*k better freeze the bank accounts of people actually financing actual terrorism ... For starters

Terrorism financing is actively investigated by the RCMP, and indicators of it are sought and reported on by FINTRAC. Basically the entire financial services industry is mandated by the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act to watch for and to report to FINTRAC suspicious transactions that may fit terrorist financing indicators. There are a combination of regulatory (PCMLTFA) and criminal offences that can be in play.

Note that freezing bank accounts may not always happen immediately. As soon as you freeze an account, you’re tipping your hand that you’re aware of there being sufficient grounds to do so. I.e., you may burn an investigation. Identifying bank accounts and following money flows is often an intermediate step in a criminal investigation. Action to block money flow (freezing accounts, seeking forfeiture etc) may not take place until an investigation is ready to hit its conclusion phase- overt search warrants, takedowns etc.

Simply freezing bank accounts as a standalone and premature act may hinder larger and more meaningful investigative processes.

All that to say: an absence of visible enforcement measures as a point in time does not mean active investigation is not taking place.

Israeli army to confront resilient foe in anticipated Gaza invasion

An Israeli invasion of Gaza will face an enemy that has built a formidable armoury with Iran's help, dug a vast tunnel network to evade attackers and has shown in past ground wars it can exact a heavier toll on Israeli troops each time.

Now, who pre-dates Judaism? And when did they move into the area? If Charlton Heston Moses led them out of Egypt, where and when did they come from?

Blood brothers: Palestinians and Jews share genetic roots

Jews break down into three genetic groups, all of which have Middle Eastern origins – which are shared with the Palestinians and Druze.
www.haaretz.com www.haaretz.com
Confronted by the violence sweeping over Israel, it can be easy to overlook the things that Jews and Palestinians share: a deep attachment to the same sliver of contested land, a shared appetite for hummus, a common tradition of descent from the patriarch Abraham, and, as scientific research shows - a common genetic ancestry, as well.

. . . The closest genetic relatives of the Middle Eastern Jews are Druze, Bedouin and Palestinians . . .

Ok lets play that game.

Who is to say the any of the Jews currently in Israel were ever there originally? Its a religion not a ethnicity. Someones family could have converted in 1700 and still be Jewish.

If Islam came later but it was Jews who converted to Islam that now are in the region is it not still their lands (or ancestral lands?).

Your also assuming that all the people around Israel/Palestine were Jewish originally, which they were not. Zoroastrianism etc. was big in that region. Should the land not go back to the Greeks or Persians?

Your arguments are fairly flawed. At the end of the day we moved a large group of people into the area in the late 40s who proceeded to evict the people actually living in the area based off some questionable land claim from 2000 years ago. Sounds pretty stupid when it gets phrased like that.

Should you be evicted from your home because someone who claims to be part of the tribe that once owned that part of Canada demands it?

Well they already recalled their state A340 after an aborted landing attempt in Damascus to drop rockets off to Hezbollah. It’s like they’re inviting OP FAFO into their own back yard…which the IDF may actually oblige them…
