I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Israel says won't talk under fire, new Gaza truce plan mulled
Quote:

Israel said on Sunday it was prepared for protracted military action in Gaza and would not negotiate under rocket fire as Egypt crafted a new truce plan to try to keep indirect Israeli-Palestinian talks alive.

It is important Hamas gains nothing from this or this mess is domed to repeat itself as it has in the past.

In the Ukraine the ball is in Russia's court. Let's see if they blink?

Why would Russia blink ?

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

Not blinking has many consequences. Blinking has many consequences. This is major league ball being played here.

Yeah, what ever. Point is, Putin is getting what he wants. Bit by bit, over time, or sooner, what does it matter ? No one is going to stop him, so again, why blink ?

Actually things have been tightening around his neck for a few weeks now. It is about to get very interesting. He put his head into a noose when he allowed himself to get carried away and invaded Crimea.

See, my first though was some reference to Captain American and The Avengers, but you seem to have gone hold school on this one.

Either way, that's as likely to happen as a Klingon Bird of Prey uncloaking above a Russian whaling vessel and saving a mother whale and her calves from the harpoons.

Nice to think it'd happen, but we all know it won't.

Not sure I see the "exact equivalency" between the 2.
Hamasholes are attacking Israel under pretense of cease-fire, and Israel is not interested in giving them greater opportunity to kill more Jews.
Russian military forces have invaded, and are pretending to be "separatists" or some pablum because they tore off their Russian insignia from their Russian military uniforms. Ukraine is trying to defend their country, and repel the invaders.

The headlines compare the victim Israel with the murdering Russian invaders, and also compare the victim Ukraine with the murdering Hamas-holes.
Seems like contrast, or contradiction to me.

Or were you trying to be sarcastic? My sarcasm meter seems a bit faulty lately.
