Israel Attacked and its Response

[Louis Gossett Jr]

Hard to tell if they did bomb then or not, crazy war.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

No. Name a protest you think was truly successful.

The Civil Rights Era certainly had some successes

 

[Wakeforest22890]

People dumped tea in the Boston Harbor and that caught some attention too.

Okay, so nothing in our lifetimes.

Israel just blew up the 3rd oldest church in the world - Christian Church of Saint Porphyrius. Completely leveled with 400 sheltering inside.

Let me guess? The church blew itself up? Or it was the Vietcong?

This is terrible!!!! I've been following them. They were sheltering many families both Christian and Muslim.

I don’t yet believe that story about the church being bombed is accurate based on the sources I follow. At least not to that degree of devastation.

Boomers and the internet

Historic Gaza church open for services, undamaged by Israeli airstrikes | Fact check

The church wrote on its Facebook page that the building had not been damaged by airstrikes and was open for services to worshipers and refugees.

Quite the dilemma. It's a church and religion is bad, so it's good to destroy it. But, there were people inside seeking refuge so that's murder. But they were religious and religion is bad.

It actually look like there was a targeted strike by the church after the internet claimed the church was targeted and blown up last week, but haven’t seen a reputable news source whatever that may be these days.

I'd think any "protests don't work" logic would have to contend with the Civil Rights Movement but maybe not !

 

[rawarr]

seems like the media focus on Biden's trip and the hospital whodunit has swallowed up any room to report on what is currently happening on the ground in Gaza

 

[Louis Gossett Jr]

US did shoot down some missiles today so slowly creeping up our involvement.

I'd think any "protests don't work" logic would have to contend with the Civil Rights Movement but maybe not !

My thesis is that the nationwide riots following MLK Jrs death were necessary for the 68 Civil Rights act to finally be passed. The passage of the voting rights act of 1965 seemed to stymie the progress of the Black Civil Rights movement, with Lyndon Johnson losing the political will to help push the movement any further for fear of turning white conservatives completely against him.

I was under the impression that Biff came out of the womb in a Peter Millar polo with these opinions fully formed already

There have been quite a few school board meeting protests that successful got books banned, teachers fired and gay kids shoved back into closets in just the last two years!

Everybody should just wait until the sun rises and deltas what we know before we jump to conclusions.

I’m way more left leaning than I was 20-25 years ago.

 

[BarcaDeac]

What about Protestantism? It’s in the name !

 

[Biff Tannen]

Greatest longest lasting protest movement in the history of man. Congrats Barca !

Me too. I’m a two time Reagan voter, a four time Bush voter, McCain. Romney. But I voted Dem in 2016. Again in 2020. And it’ll be a threefer in ‘24. Today’s Republican Party disgusts me.
