What did they think would happen?
« on: April 18, 2024, 12:10:31 AM »
Twenty-eight Google employees were fired after they held protests at Google offices across the US -- including staging a "die in" in the CEO's office.

The protest was in support of Palestine as the employees demanded Google cut business ties with Israel. 

Since Google is teaming with Amazon on an IT project for Israel that's worth north of a billion dollars, I think the protesters are not likely to prevail.  And if that doesn't convince you, Google put those employees on administrative leave, told them to leave the property, and called the cops to have them trespassed and then arrested if they still refused to leave.   :rofl:  I imagine the number of arrests was less than the total, since I'm sure some valued their cushy jobs and paychecks more than they did a cause that has nothing to do with them.

Next, they'll be throwing tomato soup on priceless works of art.  I don't think these people care about the causes they protest for.  They just don't have anything more constructive to do -- other than their former jobs!

If you allow government to break the law for an "emergency" they will create "emergencies" to break the law.

Yeah.  Those people in Gaza need to leave Israel alone.

Hamas launches a massacre on civilians in October and then launches around 300 missiles and drones toward Israel  with the help of Iran, and THEY are being oppressed?

If not for the Iron Dome and other defenses, Israel would be the experiencing casualties and destruction on a mass scale.

But, Hamas has their people in Gaza screaming, "Help! Help!  Israel is engaged in genocide!"

Give me a break.   :wacko:

If they all want to kill each other then let them pay for it. I'm sick of watching prices at the grocery story skyrocket because the federal reserve printed more money to fund bloodbaths in the Middle East

Inflation is a tax.

The embassy was not bombed.  That's a lie.  It was a consulate annex building several blocks away from the embassy itself.

It was a meeting place where Hamas, Hezbollah and Iranians were gathered in order to plan continued attacks on Israel.

That's a totally different discussion.  You were saying Iran has a right to defend itself.

Truth is, when the side that started the fight is about to get their asses handed to them, they like to play the victim knowing they poked a much bigger bear than they can handle.

So, you only have MSM and AOC/Squad talking points and memes -- nothing of your own to add?

It's obvious that these employees do not think because anyone should know that there is a right way to do things and a wrong way.  Same goes with the Mona Lisa paint attack and like all over Europe.

I was talking to an old timer and he saw the videos. What he said was "back in the day, if you did some dumb shit like this, you would get punched in the face. And the puncher wouldn't get arrested. This is what happens when bad behaviors are protected from consequences".

Remember how I told you guys that Russia has already won Ukraine and it was just a matter of time until it was obvious to everyone, but you were too drunk on CIA propaganda at the time?

Here's another one for you,...Israel is not gong to exist much longer.

Care to put any specificity to that prediction?  How long is “much longer”?

So, you think Israel will roll over and accept defeat when they have a nuclear arsenal?

When being threatened with "nonexistence,"  eliminating the threat is justified.

Israel has the right to defend itself.

Iran is not the Islamic State.  The Islamic State rules Iran, but the people there are not all on board with the terror perpetrated by their leaders.

Hopefully, if the nation is facing a nuclear exchange, the people will rise up and finally put an end to the Islamic State there.  Better to go out fighting for change than doing a microwave burrito impression.

I’d be surprised if they are still around in 10 years. We’re going into an inflationary death spiral and once the rest of the world figures out that our military is a hollow shell of its former self then there will be nobody left to support their crazy antics.
