You cannot "pre-emptively" defend yourself, an attack to head off a suspected attack is still an attack.
Other than that semantic nitpick, personally I'm there with you.. However, you cannot seriously be pointing this out without also recognizing that Israel is very much the initial offender in any conflict that arises as direct result of their actions in gaza.
If I let a bully sucker punch me so I have an excuse to beat up all the people around them, and then someone else close by hits me, I can't honestly say I am the one who is defending myself.
I've actually used "I'm flattered, but I'm not into guys, sorry." and when immediately he got pissy and insisted he isn't gay and wasn't asking me out, "It's okay, you don't have to hide who you are, I'm simply not interested." and at that point my patience and certainty they wouldnt try to deck me were out the door, along with myself.
A musical theater performance was probably not the best place for the guy to be attempting to ragebait.
10/10 responses, I'd add in "If you have to ask, maybe you should get out more" which I guess is similar to "Makes sense you wouldn't know"
Well, I could have gone into detail about their scientific and industrial value, but those aren't what massively inflates their perceived importance and price.
It's illegal to misrepresent emergency weather information.
Drawing a sharpie to make people who were not in the forecasted path of a hurricane panic and seek shelter/evacuate should be a minimum fine/90 days in jail.
Obviously neither happened.
I've seen police show and threaten arrest up over someone using the emergency broadcast tones too loud at a park on a nice day. But (at the time) commander-in-queef gets free passes to do illegal shit at least once a week.
Totally the same legal system for ruling(owning)/non ruling(the poors) classes.
That is a very weird way to phrase "Old man throws temper tantrum and refuses to do previously agreed upon interview when called out for lying"
As far as I'm concerned, every media outlet that sugarcoats things, or misrepresent things, or otherwise skews the truth about what the MAGAts are up to are 100% in bed with Republicans, and are mouthpieces for the MAGAgenda
It IS a ceasefire. As in Hamas ("anyone we decide to call hamas whether it's an actual rebel/terrorist/whatever or someone defending themselves from IDF thugs trying to kill/SA them or a random kid we saw walking down the street and someone's finger got itchy") has to ceasefire.
Why on earth should the IDF, paragon of virtue and goodness, an organization that has never in its history been accused or caught red-handed doing war crimes or Geneva convention violations, be forced to stop murdering innocents "defending themselves" just because the entire world wants them to stop, and because it's the right thing to do...
Next you'll be insisting they treat Palestinians like people! And helping rebuild the countryside they've devastated constructively disassembled and revitalizing the people they have brutalized liberated.
SMH my head
If I need the /s with that much sarcasm dripping off every letter then the world has truly gone to shit.
No, I made the ring from sapphire (birth stone) and silver. Jewelry is easier than you might think when you've been doing small metalwork for knife handles, pommels, and guards.
