The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And why doesn't DOPE criticize Trump who has been attacking Israel? - ges

---------------------

Attack? You guys twist and exaggerate words just to bash Trump, a classic sign of TDS.

Trump said Hezbollah is smart. He is not saying he supports terrorism. Fact: Hezbollah is smart.

Trump says Gallant is a jerk. Jerk is probably the wrong word but Trump is critiizing Gallant admonishing Hezbollah to not attack from the North which Trump claims points out Israel is relatively weak on that front. Fact: Israel is relatively weak on that front.

Trump said: There were some very fine people,. He i=not saying he favors riots and violence. Fact: Evey large crowd includes some good people in it who are there simply to see what is going on. Same with many on the Jan 6 crowd. There are not all white supremacists who yearn for an authoritarian government.

Trump said drink bleach. Here are his exact words. No mention of bleach or the word drink.

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it'd be interesting to check that, so that you're going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we'll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That's pretty powerful."

Trump is attacking Israel. He is not saying the Palestinians are being treated unfairly, or that Israel is illegitimate, of that it is evil. He did say that Israeli intelligence failed to pick up the pending attack. It is true, they did not. Neither did US intelligence.

And Finally, Hands up, Don't Shoot.
