For what reason does wealthy Israel need billions of dollars to fight a war against an occupied territory without a standing military? Please someone explain this to me.
It’s kinda adorable that you think Israel would survive for two minutes with Syria, Lebanon, Jordan as neighbours without a ridiculously strong military. C’mon dude, lol.

It’s fine to think the US should back off in terms of supporting Israel, but let’s not pretend Israel would survive two minutes there without western allies and support.

What does that have to do at all with what I said? None of those are currently engaged in this conflict, and we have an entire fleet off the coast right now that has absolutely no qualms about bombing any of those countries into oblivion, and they know it. I don't see why we in addition to this need to give them billions of dollars in aid right now, it's not like it's Ukraine where they're being invaded.

Ahh, I assumed you were talking aid/support in general. Not just at this very moment.

Agree with you. Pumping aid into Israel for them to go to war in Gaza seems ridiculous.

Yea that seems like a crazy amount of money to try and defeat a small group like Hamas in such a small area. What exactly does that money go towards?

All of the rockets and missiles seem so over the top and unnecessary.

I’m assuming at least some of the money will go towards funding the operatives in Gaza that somehow missed 1500 terrorists jumping the walls all at the same time.

I doubt that lack of funds was the reason they slept at the wheel and couldn’t stop a rag tag militia with primitive equipment from breaking through.

My bet this is a war chest to draw the new Middle East map and dare anyone to intervene.

They’re gonna make Sykes-Picot look like an achievement

he's a more valuable forum member than @Seven because his jokes are not repetitive and are more funny. and he's been right about Allegri for years, which also makes him a better football analyst than @Seven.

however access to tuz should depend on forum rules.
There is nothing that Turk says that holds any value.

That is a very compelling analysis.

I guess we know which way you would have voted in the 1930's in Germany.
as I understand it, 1930s was an economically challenging time for ze Germans, aggravated by the banking crisis, which didn't do any favors to the popularity of the jewish population. I'm not voting for populist or radical right wing parties nowadays and I don't think that would've changed if I was born a 100 years earlier, but of course it's hard to guarantee it, obviously a lot of Germans voted for Hitler back then. either way, I strongly disagree that you or anyone else on tuz might know how I would've voted in the 1930s in Germany.

That's a lot of words.

Did you understand the point I was making?

Quantitative vs qualitative.

You never even bothered to look into posts or comment on them. You see Turk as a great poster, because he has a few likes. Of course Turk has a lot of likes. He's a moron. You know who likes morons? Other morons. Doesn't mean that they are suddenly "valuable" members of society.

You'd vote for Hitler, because this is your yard stick. You see a lot of other people vote for Hitler, so you assume: this guy must be on to something. So yes, I do know how you would have voted. Because you told me.

You could've just stopped there - I've personally read, enjoyed and rated a number of Turk posts funny (although never useful, I'm still a bit confused about that), so the rest of your wonderful construct is flawed because your first assumption is as wrong as it can be.

Using ratings statistics is fun though :D I wish we had more tools to emphasize what a mediocre poster you are in comparison to Turk. :p
