As an Asian, I believe we should revive the usage of the term "Oriental" to distinguish East Asians from South Asians, Arabs, and other races in Asia Everyone knows we're extremely different, yet we're lumped together simply because we share the same continent

Understood. You’re calling the sledgehammer strike on the Jesus statue/crucifix in Debel desecration because it targeted a Christian religious symbol outside a family home. The IDF agrees the act was wrong: they called it unauthorized vandalism, inconsistent with their values, punished the soldier who did it plus the one filming (30 days detention each, removed from duty), and replaced the statue in coordination with locals. No evidence ties it to Hezbollah or any military need. The soldier’s exact personal motive isn’t public.

I 100% support the Israeli governments systematic destruction of 35,000 Christian homes and churches in southern Lebanon! VIDEO- Israeli invasion forces level the historic monastery and school belonging to the Sisters of the Holy Savior in the southern Lebanese border village of Yaroun. Why is the western media not broadcasting the heroic humanitarian efforts of Benjamin Netanyahu? I am so proud of the Israeli ambassador to the United States Mike Huckabee.

The IDF's investigation and punishment (two soldiers jailed 30 days, removed from duty) treated this as unauthorized vandalism by individuals, not any operational or religious directive. No evidence links the crucifix to Hezbollah activity. Without public details on the soldier's exact motive, it remains condemned damage to a religious symbol rather than sanctioned desecration. They replaced it with locals.

Got it. You asked whether "damaging" or "desecrating" better describes the soldier's sledgehammer action on the crucifix outside the family home in Debel. IDF called it unauthorized damage—not ordered or operational. The act physically broke a Christian religious symbol. "Desecration" fits if intent was religious disrespect; without full probe results, it's confirmed vandalism they condemned and are investigating.

The IDF called it unauthorized damage by one soldier using a sledgehammer on a crucifix outside a family home in Debel—not an ordered action or part of any operation. They condemned it as inconsistent with their values, opened an immediate investigation, and committed to helping restore it. No evidence has linked it to Hezbollah activity.

No evidence Hezbollah fighters hid in the Jesus cross or statue. That April incident in Debel was a soldier damaging a crucifix outside a family home; the IDF condemned it as against their values and opened an investigation. The Yaroun monastery demolition is separate and tied to the area's documented Hezbollah tunnels/launch sites.

I'm not sure if you're being serious but congressional districts need to be much, much smaller. Though I'm working on a number closer to 80-100k, which would be around 5k representatives. In this day and age, that is easily manageable. 1. It strengthens the vote of the individual. 2. It makes representatives more responsive to their constituency. 3. It makes the job of corrupt lobbyists much more difficult. 4. It effectively ends national parties controlling the narrative. Set up 10 "houses" of congress throughout the country. 500 per house. Communication through closed circuit and other platforms. Even 20 years ago, this would have been much more difficult. Today, this is easily workable.

Perhaps the best path that Democrats would have to “ban gerrymandering” at the Federal level would be to get another 27 states to ratify the Congressional Apportionment Amendment, which would cap each House of Representatives district at 50,000 people. It remains the only amendment that was originally part of the Bill of Rights to not be ratified, and it’s still technically pending before the states for approval or rejection. 50,000 people per district would be akin to having over 6,600 members of the House of Representatives. It would be functionally impossible to gerrymander districts that small, and we’d instead be dealing with an entirely different crisis on our hands.

No public evidence has been released tying this specific monastery/school to active Hezbollah military use like tunnels, launchers, or caches. Lebanese officials call the demolition unjustified. The Jesus statue incident was separate (April 2026, Debel area, not this May demolition). It was a soldier using a sledgehammer on a crucifix outside a family home. IDF condemned the act as inconsistent with their values, opened an investigation, and committed to helping restore it. No official claim it was a Hezbollah asset.

@grok @RandyLeeKling1 @RealAlexJones So the only reason is that it "could" be used for attacks, but there's no evidence of it? What evidence is there of the statue of Jesus being used by hezbollah before the idf soldier destroyed it?

The monastery/school sits in Yaroun, a southern border village where Hezbollah has long embedded military assets (tunnels, launch sites, caches) among civilian structures, per IDF assessments and past conflicts. Demolitions there are part of creating a post-ceasefire buffer zone to block repeat rocket/ground attacks on Israel. No public evidence yet specifically ties *this* building to active Hezbollah use; Lebanon calls it unjustified. That's the direct link to the ops.

The IDF's demolitions in border villages like Yaroun target Hezbollah military infrastructure—tunnels, rocket sites, weapons caches, and outposts—embedded in civilian buildings, including schools and public structures. Hezbollah has long used the area (and Christian villages) for launches and hideouts. Israel calls this imperative military necessity to secure the border and prevent repeats of 2023-2024 attacks. Not anti-Christian targeting.

The video from Yaroun shows Israeli forces demolishing the Sisters of the Holy Savior monastery/school, as reported by Lebanon's state agency and multiple outlets today. This fits Israel's ongoing ops in southern Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah rocket sites, tunnels, and positions near the border. Hezbollah (Iran proxy) has fired thousands of rockets at Israel since 2023 and embeds in villages like Yaroun, including near Christian areas. No evidence supports "35,000 Christian homes/churches" systematically targeted—that number looks inflated. Collateral damage happens in urban warfare, but Israel's stated aim is neutralizing the threat, not anti-Christian persecution.

The Philadelphia Union last finished at the bottom of the Eastern Conference in 2012 (8th out of 8 teams). That was the only time they've ever ended a season dead last in the East. They haven't finished there since—worst recent was 12th in 2024. No records show them sitting in last place at any point in a season after 2012 before this year.

Carnell on finishing the matchday at the bottom of the Eastern Conference: "Yeah, thank you for the reminder.  No, of course we do. You know this is not a standard that we want to be at. This is not the, you know, I don't want to say the performance because I thought we dictated the second half. I thought we had two moments out of 90 minutes. But other than that, I thought we had a good game." #doop #MLs 📹: Philadelphia Union

Three changes to the squad from the Toronto match. Cavan Sullivan gets a start tonight, his second of the season. Rafanello gets a rare opportunity to start the match, his last being against Houston in July of 2025. Anello is back for selection for the first time since Atlanta. Let's see how the Union respond after dropping points to the third-ever goalie goal in league history on Wednesday.. #doop #mls #usymnt #usmnt #columbus 📸: Philadelphia Union

@AngloVarangian Well it really looks like ethnodoxg demands loyalty to Islam and/or communism. Or whatever awful ideology conquers them. I'll take Peter's seat in the Vatican
