America is fed up with these liberal owned news organizations who do nothing but trash America. They are responsible for a lot of the woes of the nation for over the past 60 years. Over half of America have completely turned off these worthless media stations. Eventually they will all dry up due to no sponsorship, especially with an idiot like fjb destroying the economy. They cannot escape the cesspool they built

Amazing a person so young can know so much about so little. Not old enough to drive and yet she is smarter than the rest of the children of the world.
If a substantial number of members of Congress, on both sides of the aisle, act like spoiled teenagers, it is because few penalties exist for adult legislators acting like brats. Indeed, many of their constituents prefer it so. Under such circumstances, it should come as no surprise that student protesters complain when their university fails to feed them even as they occupy its buildings and muscle the janitors, or insist on wearing masks so that, unlike Martin Luther King Jr. or Henry David Thoreau, they do not have to take responsibility for civil disobedience. While there have been some notably adult responses to student unrest—University of Florida President Ben Sasse stands out in his insistence that students are not children and should not be treated as such—for the most part university presidents have flattered and appeased students rather than reproved them, even as some of those students have called for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish state.
The world has a distinctly 1930s feel to it. Western leaders have offered stirring or at least forceful rhetoric in response to multiple crises. But when it comes to deeds rather than words, the record is less compelling. During the Cold War, countries spent 4 or 5 percent of their GDP on defense, and the United States got as high as 8 percent. Today, even the United States is below 3 percent. There is a broad political consensus that China is a growing threat, that Iran is a violent menace, and that Russia is an imperial revanchist state. Yet no one is seriously calling for the kind of sacrifices that are needed to meet the crisis, such as raising taxes to reverse the shrinkage of the United States Navy or create the kind of industrial base that could sustain the American military should worse come to worst.
With some notable exceptions, Europe is even more lost in its world of wishful thinking than the U.S. is. France’s Emmanuel Macron may talk of stationing Western forces in Ukraine, but unless his and other governments introduce large-scale conscription and create the industries required to sustain armies, they will not have much by way of land forces to do it. Great Britain, a traditional defense stalwart, will struggle to meet a target of 2.5 percent of GDP spent on defense by 2030—as its forces have shrunk to levels not seen, in some cases, since Victorian times.
Thucydides, of whom Shakespeare’s King Henry would have approved, famously said that war is a rough master, a violent teacher. In peace and prosperity, he said, states and individuals do not find themselves “suddenly confronted with imperious necessity.” At a time when war flickers on the borders of a generally peaceful and generally prosperous and generally immature West, we would do well to heed his wisdom, and that of the tired but resolute Shakespearean king.

Oh, look, Hamas didn't report the correct numbers, what a shocker!

It's one of these rare moments where I appreciate our hate speech laws.
Displaying Hamas' flag and symbols (except in non-political contexts like news reporting or education) violates § 86 a of the German penal code (use of symbols of unconstitutional organisations), which is punishable with up to three years of imprisonment or a fine.
Yelling "yallah yallah intifada" – as a call for terrorist attacks on Israel – may constitute a violation of § 111 (public incitement to commit crimes), carrying a sentence of up to five years in prison or a fine.
"From the river to the sea" – as an undeniable call to destroy the Israeli state – may constitute a violation of § 130 (hate speech) and can be punished with imprisonment not exceeding five years.
And expressing approval of October 7 either explicitely or impliticely (e.g. through that infamous paraglider image) may violate § 140 (public endorsement of crimes) and either win you a fine or up to three years behind bars.
For clarification, the asterisk here ("may") hinges on the aspects of publicity and the violation of public peace. You won't open yourself up to prosecution merely by way of expressing your hatred in your private chat group. But if you do it publicly (e.g. on Twitter or at a protest) and in a way that objectively signals your intention to rile up hatred against Jews, you will find yourself before a judge soon enough. I for one like the idea of all those leftist twats at our universities meeting the fate which they've wished on conservatives often enough.
