Yup. MS-13 starts out in the 1980's in L.A. just around the time the war on cocaine really gets rolling.

Sorry, but no. They are undeniably humans. Only humans - who are all, biologically animals - wage war and hatred with the level of ferocity we’re talking about.

Money is power in America.

Who is defending Mara Salvatrucha?  Go get ‘em.

That’s not a good defense or even a great analogy.

When you bribe nearly all of Congress, it’s pretty easy to get unanimous votes on Israel.

Probably since 1948, if we’re really being honest, or even earlier.

I wouldn’t. Hold them for the next ten to twenty years and they’ll be worth a lot more.

Magic’s lore is full of opportunity. Dominaria was a step in the right direction. Ravnica III feels like a step back. I don’t know if they’re doing this if they can reprint the shocklands, or what - it will be welcome if so - but still, lorewise, it feels stagnant.

Kamigawa was fantastic, and also full of powerful cards like Through The Breach, Goryo’s Vengeance, Sensei’s Divining Top...I’d take it in a heartbeat over most recent sets.

Is that coming from BOTLANE?

Hamas is def engaged in extralegal violence.

Most Jews viewed the lesson of the Holocaust as “This must never happen to us or anyone else, ever again.”

It blows my mind that Israel continues to insist that it is some kind of blameless victim. When you destroy a people and take all they have, you make enemies.

Schumer has never once condemned Israeli abuses, nor is he likely to.

Gosh, how dare the Palestinians want to blow you up and take all your shit when that’s all Israel has done to them for seventy years now.

Most liberals don’t actually support Hamas - but there *is* and will continue to be substantial support for Palestinian statehood, and against the horrors and atrocities of the IDF.

I don’t really care about your fat singer and her mediocre song, my friend. I care about destroying this notion that Israel is somehow sainted and that it’s all just the Arab “ne’er-do-wells’ ” fault that the world is fucked up.

“nobody is stealing their lands. get your facts straight.”

Actually, the facts in that article really pretty much indicate that modern-day Israel beat the shit out of Palestine and took most of everything they ever had, including their lands.

My friend, out of all the Israelis on this thread, you are the one that gives me most hope for peace.
