Brilliant Strategy

~ Clarissa

That is, indeed, an excellent ad. And an absolutely brilliant political strategy to take away and appropriate the American flag at a time when the opponents are increasingly embracing Berkeley-style pouting about “evil America”.

    1. Why is one of them wearing a mask?? Why is the text in English? Why is the text so deeply unnatural for any actual Ukrainian?

      Are these women from the poster’s harem or something?

        1. They look weird, though. I still bet these are the harem wives of the dude who posted the pic. You’d understand if you hung out with actual Ukrainians.

    2. “ceasefire”

      Why?

      Palestinians began the current conflict (or most recent escalation)?

      The entire Palestinian mo for the past 70 or so years is to start a conflict, lose and then start whining about consequences….

      Germany started a war and lost half its territory (and is unlikely to begin a new one).

      Why shouldn’t Palestinians suffer bad consequences from bad choices?

        1. Aren’t Russians white too? It’s their nature?

          Racist logic always runs into a brick wall, eventually.

    1. I don’t know who staged this and for what purpose but this is as fair as the harem ladies photo. These men are lying on the ground, yet look how clean and shiny the masks are.

      We live in a world of fakes, unfortunately.

  3. Interesting regarding what Palestinians want:

    // Press Release: Public Opinion Poll No (92)
    12 June 2024

    …
    For the third time since October 7, we asked the respondents in this poll what they thought of Hamas’ decision to launch the October the 7th offensive. Two thirds, compared to 71% in March 2024 and 72% in December 2023, say it was correct. As the figure below shows, the drop in supporting the decision came from the Gaza Strip. Current support in that area stands at 57% compared to 71% three months ago and 57% six months ago.
    …
    almost all Palestinians (97% think Israel has committed war crimes during the current war. By contrast, only 9% (compared to 5% three months ago) think Hamas also committed such crimes
    …
    32% support and 65% oppose the idea of a two-state solution, which was presented to the public without providing details of the solution. Three months ago, support for this solution in a similar question stood at 45% and six months ago support stood at 34%. In the current poll, support for this solution came from Gaza Strip, a 30-point increase while dropping only two points in the West Bank.

    …

    When asked about its support and opposition to specific policy measures to break the stalemate: 66% supported joining more international organizations; 49% supported resort to unarmed popular resistance; 63% supported a return to confrontations and armed intifada; 62% supported dissolving the PA; and 22% supported abandoning” the two-state solution and demanding one state for Palestinians and Israelis.
    …

    if new parliamentary elections were held today with the participation of all political forces that participated in the 2006 elections, only 70% say they would participate in them, 32% would vote for Hamas, 17% for Fatah, 4% for third parties, and 16% remain undecided.

    …
    47% believe that the first most vital Palestinian goal should be to end Israeli occupation in the areas occupied in 1967 and build a Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip with East Jerusalem as its capital. By contrast, 31% believe the first most vital goal should be to obtain the right of return of refugees to their 1948 towns and villages; 12% believe that the first and most vital goal should be to build a pious or moral individual and a religious society, one that applies all Islamic teachings; and 9% believe it should be to establish a democratic political system that respects freedoms and rights of Palestinians.

    …

    Saudi-Israeli normalization: The poll found significant opposition of three quarters of the public to Saudi-Israeli normalization, even if it is conditioned on Israel accepting a Palestinian state and taking concrete and irreversible steps toward that goal.

    1. I want to start by swearing!

      Thank you for this.

      I need to do more research into the validity of this opinion poll but at face value I entirely supports the Israeli Government.

    2. Thankfully, the ICJ’s preliminary assessment already concludes that both Hamas and Israel have likely committed war crimes. Let’s hope that representatives of both entities are duly punished as we did in WW2.
