Trump and the risk of war

Speaking of whataboutism, how many kids killed today in Gaza with American munitions being ignored by the western world???
Some lives worth more than others ey....
Totally. As above. No bias there.
He might want to take a look at his own website and fix the typos.
After all, he is a 'journalist'.
Edit: no, some lives are not worth more than others, but...
"To use an abhorrent crime (rapes) to push a anti Islam, anti immigrant agenda is fooked as he was pointing out."
"Anti Islam is as vile as anti semitism..."
Exactly Andy but that's not what the above fellow is about, he is clearly an anti-semite.

OK fair point.
His video came up and I got sucked in, did not know his back ground, but the right wing fear mongering scares me. In 30's it was Jews, looks like history is starting to repeat except Muslims are going to be the victims.
This article might have been more appropriate.

Actually that is whataboutism,
You dont care about other conflicts or deaths around the world and neither does much of the media, i provided a great example (with links) the other day on Sudan that has seen a larger death toll in the same time frame and not long ago received their first shipment of aid to a main area, but nobody care's about that conflict or a real starvation happening.
Meanwhile the media is obsessed with Israel and Gaza, there is all kinds of articles on the topic everyday from media outlets.
But yeah if you want the narrative of kids being killed without the details of hamas being killed etc or news stories like the Israeli's murdered on a bus a few days ago in the West bank.
Then you might have to go to a media outlet like Al Jazeera but it should be noted that they are so full of shit that that the Palestine authority ( PLO ) in Judea/Samaria (West Bank) last week joined the list of Middle East countries in banning Al Jazeera (might only be short term though) basically the PLO accused the outlet of, misleading reports and inciting violence.
Pretty much the same reason it's banned in half the middle east (Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Israel)
The biggest news story of this week in Gaza though is the recent hostage deal that actually might happen because of pressure of Trump coming into power very soon.
34 hostages to be released including a baby who is now a toddler, although Hamas cant tell anyone which hostage's on the list are dead or alive.
Which is insane, even to start negotiating you normally would have proof of life, so you know what you are negotiating for.

How’ve you been facto?
Hi goofyfoot, I'll wear that one, I regularly think I have all the facts!

Top of the class, GF.
Well there you go, didn’t see that coming.
Hi facto , you’re looking good post op .
Dammit! I was hoping you'd be a real woman Chelsea.
Wut? Am I missing something? Isn't goofyfoot burning me for coming across as a know-it-all?

I think you’re missing something after the op .
Really that's insane if it is.
The name and profile pic is very his style, but if he is and is playing this charade with completely different views then he has done an amazing job.
Yeah, I'm pretty impressed too.
I was kinda hoping SR would get his wish.
I thought it was Blowin, maybe.
Whoever it is definitely in a character mode.

A trans- formation ? Only joking. I actually liked a lot of the stuff facto put up but he got carried away with you and blowin . Some of his finds were really interesting. He had some good topics . Overall I found him interesting but understand why some didn’t like him .

Pretty sure SR & facto are good mates . Yes it would be great if some women would join in discussions. I still reckon women don’t find these threads that interesting and have other interests or really busy . What do you notice about who’s chatting to who at BBQs ?
I'd honestly love to see more women here too but pretty much as above, it's just not that interesting for them here.
I do like how initially Chelsea was treated as an equal. Quite the antithesis of how Southern regards most of us.

Seriously, give it a rest dickhead.

You really are a deadset cockspanker aren't you.
Why? Because I really honestly thought Chelsea was a switched on cool chick and I thought you'd be pleased. I was waiting for you to engage with her but turns out she's your mate.
So, I guess I am the fool.
I think you're pretty rude mate. I've never once called you a name, especially a homophobic one. I'm gonna leave you alone, you're too much of a hellman charger for me.
And Facto, used to think you were pretty cool. I admired your brain.
Past tense.
Strange bedfellows indeed.

Gold star incoming.
I'm not a previous swellnet user called "facto". I'm just an ordinary woman in my thirties who left the Victorian public service and the state in late 2022, after the public mistakenly voted the Labor organised crime cartel back into power. Now, I'm proud to say I'm part of the team preparing for the Brisbane Olympics. I find these forum topics interesting because I studied politics and international relations at uni of Melbourne. My only crime is I'm not as pretty as my profile pic.

Leave me out of your miserable online existence. Thanks.
Part One.
