  • AIPAC is anti American. Pro BIBI and Iran war funding by us taxpayers as they enjoy socialism. . *** - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 08:34:07 PM
    • Theyve done a fabulous job, along with Netanyahu, making ordinary people fucking hate them and, by associati8n undermined supprt for Israel. Helluva job, Brownie!* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 08:37:38 PM
      • Yes even setting aside the genocide I can hate them on just the American political support and funding. * - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 08:44:09 PM
        • It’s not a fucking genocide. That is ridiculous. Words matter.* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 08:46:25 PM
          • Ir is brutal force and killing many many many women and children without media or justice or consequences. * - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 08:49:46 PM
            • Yes, it is probably excessive. That doesn’t make it genocide. - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 08:54:25 PM
              • I think it's clear that Netanyahu's decisions after the first few months post 10/7 were motivated by a cynical desire to cling to power and avoid scrutiny of how his government utterly failed in its mission to maintain security. (m) - By suede August 5, 2026 at 09:02:15 PM
                • Agree with both of those contentions* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 09:04:03 PM
              • The Lancet Global Health estimated about 75,200 violent deaths - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 08:56:14 PM
                • They are probably getting their numbers from Hamas. - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 09:02:46 PM
                  • LOL* - By crumbs August 5, 2026 at 10:15:26 PM
                  • I am sorry...i Have to weigh in here. Probably excessive?! Hmm. They lose *ANY* benefit of the doubt when they unilaterally prevent news coverage from what is going on.... - By Pal August 5, 2026 at 09:37:54 PM
                    • We can agree to disagree on things. But I find it interesting that many ppl who are offended by the term genocide simultaneously use words that in essence trivialize the atrocities being committed by Israel daily nearly 3 years later * - By Pal August 6, 2026 at 01:45:35 AM
                    • I think that takes a very charitable view of the actions of Hamas* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 10:06:11 PM
                  • yes no one is pro Hamas. * - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 09:13:25 PM
                  • Yikes. You sound like Kurt. By any measure Gaza has been decimated (realizing western media is prohibited to report)*. - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 09:11:53 PM
                    • Poor kurt - catching strays* - By Poster P August 5, 2026 at 10:13:31 PM
                    • If you have substantive disagreement then say so - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 09:21:21 PM
                      • NO ONE SUPPORTS HAMAS (although they have been very useful for Bibi politically)* - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 09:42:13 PM
                        • I have not accused anyone of supporting Hamas.* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 09:57:19 PM
                          • but you equate Gazans (women and children) as a non entity. You are building an argument of Israel’s vs Hamas. I do not think that is happening. Like Trump is building an argument against violent immigrants so all hands on deck * - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 10:15:17 PM
                            • The women and children are caught between two warring parties. They are not a non-entity but they are far more beholden to the actions of Hamas than of Israel - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 11:00:50 PM
                      • No I am not pro Hamas. No I do not support their harm on the children of Gaza. I also do not believe scientific journals are getting facts from Hamas or the press is making up lies to make israel look bad * - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 09:34:11 PM
                        • I’ve never accused of being pro-Hamas - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 09:55:16 PM
                          • Ahem.* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 11:25:55 PM
                            • Here is the methodology used to estimate death records - By Cincywolve August 6, 2026 at 03:15:31 PM
  • Someone called this over a week ago. Said even if Stevens won, they’d still cut her loose and spend on Rogers.* - By gbmcq August 5, 2026 at 08:25:24 PM
  • It's pretty fucked that a PAC that exists to lobby on the behalf of a foreign government dumps so much money into some of these elections.* - By Bluebuck August 5, 2026 at 08:24:02 PM
