Israel Must End The 'Palestinian' Charade It is welcome news that Sweden's Aid Minister, Benjamin Dousa, has said that Sweden will no longer fund UNRWA, apparently satisfied with Israel's evidence that it has been a HAMAS front. The Arabs there need not worry, though, because Sweden is going to increase the amount of its aid, only using other agencies. Lucky for them. However, Israel could help itself by going further and attacking the very idea that the recipients of UNRWA largesse are "Palestinian refugees" entitled to such aid when there are virtually no refugees among them. And in any case, there is nothing Palestinian about them. [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/12/israel_must_end_the_palestinian_charade.html

If these initial indications are true, then it's great news indeed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New Damascus Governor: 'Our Problem Is Not With Israel' [...] In the immediate aftermath of the fall of Bashar al-Assad, Israel moved quickly to destroy Assad's military assets. They also seized the demilitarized zone along their Syrian border to prevent some of the Islamist rebel groups from starting a war. Those moves got condemnation from the UN and some Western countries that have nominal alliance with Israel. According to the new regime's governor in Damascus, however, it's water under the bridge.

Some nasty examples in here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anti-Jewish ugliness at elite Ivy League campuses demands federal response [...] Dartmouth College is the only Ivy League school that is not facing a federal investigation over antisemitism. In the last month, Princeton and Yale have deeply exacerbated the problem by forcing their students to face anti-Israel referenda on student ballots and allowing a climate of toxicity toward Jews and Israelis to brew. It's time for Congress to investigate these schools for their handling of antisemitism and for the Department of Education to reconsider their eligibility for federal funding until they take real action to correct the issue.

WCG just wrote for the first time since early Manyvember, & we just took Many (2+1) -- si man, Many (2+1) -- hours writing him our catch-up news, man. Didn't hear from the JC on Thursday, but she said she'd be busy, sigh and oh well man.

Thrilling Thursday report, see man: Lunch was 2 turkey-&-cheese sandwiches, ingest we man. A lengthy siesta was then taken, zzz we man. Rain finally stopped after sunset, about time man. Decided to go to Costco, needed and sales items man. We went for Many (2x2x2 -1) items and returned with Many (2x2x2), restrained we man. The Many'th (2x2x2th) item was a tub of chicken salad, irresistibly attracted we man. Several tablespoons of this were consumed for din-din, ingest we man. (We took along our Subway coupon/card but were still full from lunch, maybe tomorrow man.) Nothing formal planned for Friday, no man. One ES is too far away, perhaps conclude we man. Party with the rubias tonight, cavort we man. And that was/is our thrilling Thursday, report we man.

We greatly craved Subway with use of coupon & gift card, crave greatly we man. However, weather was threatening, yucky and overly windy man. We lunched in, see eventual Thrilling Thursday report man. Sure enough, it began storming like an illegitimate male child, build an Ark man. This might be the second consecutive day wherein we don't leave the casa, party-animal we man.

Gracias except she's not a rubia, si and no D ma'am. We just said this, si and see D ma'am! Bad repetitive plagiaristic Ontarklar! Bad, BAD repetitive REPETITIVE plagiaristic PLAGIARISTIC Ontarklar!

Otherwise known as the ancestor of descendants, euphemism man. Game sucked, si man. The honor of potentially associating with us, that's what man. Dirty old man, shame and man. Showing that the JC is smarter than you man, conclude we man. The JC is moving so deliberately that we could probably be married to and divorced from almost anyone else before she commits to anything, sigh man...

Leak price precised, see and si Y ma'am. Very smart and pay-offing, si Y ma'am! Do not contradict, gainsay, or dispute the fearsome Y ma'am, no man! Welcome to aging, si and sigh man. Why is the verb "sing sang sung" but not "sling slang slung," we wonder man.

Unsure about phone use, but www.smallpdf.com is excellent for converting anything to anything and for compression. Someone on VJ recommended the site to me years after my immigration process was done. I use it for multiple purposes.

OK, see man [ahem, harrumph man]: The JC is Many years old, lives Many hours/miles from us (but in an area that we visit at least twice yearly), and liked us on a dating site, whereupon we wrote her back, si man. She has 2 kids (ages Many and Many years, respectively), si man. She is a real estate appraiser, si man. She has high executive function, responsible JC man. She is #2 of Many siblings and the first female-type chica among them, si man. She has fair skin but is not a rubia, oh well man. Her first language is Spanish but she's completely bilingual, si man. She is exceptionally fotogenic, whee man. She takes relationships VERY slowly, sigh man. We were talking again, and she warned us that her phone was at 1%, and indeed it died precisely in the middle of a "getting to know you" question, sigh man. She is not pretentious, no man. She routinely overextends herself in terms of family obligations, sigh man. She has a good heart to the extent of visiting her ex-sister-in-law in the hospital, si man. It is hard for us to connect regularly with her, overextended JC man man. She does not like public displays of affection, sigh man. These are the spilled beans about the JC, si man.

Nosy intrusive Ontarklar! Nosy, NOSY intrusive INTRUSIVE Ontarklar!

Thrilling Wednesday report, see man: Rainy/thundering all night till around noon, disruptive to zzz man. Didn't leave the casa all day, no man. Did collect rainwater newspapers, dim hope of fast-food coupons man. To our delight, Subway coupons are back, whee man! We managed to find several unsoaked papers, ample coupons collected man. These coupons will go quite well with Subway gift cards bought yesterday, $i man. Finally something to eat, incipiently ingest we man! Lunch was 2 turkey-&-cheese sandwiches, ingest we man.

She made out like a bandit with gifts, impressive man. She will call us back, had to truncate call JC she man man. Miu was quiescent all day except during miu-meal/miu-treat times, quiescent miu man. Miu will probably wake up when we ourself are ready for bed, usual pattern man. No particular plans for Thursday, no man. Looks like only 1 or 2 reachable ESs for the weekend, man. Party with the rubias later, cavort we man. And that was/is our thrilling Wednesday, report we man.

Bad absent Niki-B. ma'am! Bad, BAD absent ABSENT Niki-B. ma'am!

Sport corrected.

I didn't think about that, but it's certainly possible.

It is Wednesday, and time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================================================== THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY I wish that Santa would publish his "naughty" list. What a great way to meet people. My "check engine" light came on. I looked, and the engine was still there. I guess I need to replace that light. Threw out my back sleeping and tweaked my neck sneezing... I'm probably one strong fart away from complete paralysis. Being popular on Facebook is like sitting at the "cool table" in the cafeteria of a mental hospital. Dear paranoid people who check behind their shower curtains for murderers: If you do find one, what's your plan? The older I get, the more I understand why roosters scream to start their day. You know you're over 50 when you have "upstairs ibuprofen" and "downstairs ibuprofen." When a kid says, "Daddy, I want Mommy," that's the kid version of "I'd like to speak to your supervisor." Last night, the Internet stopped working, so I spent a few hours with my family. They seem like good people.

'OK, Who Got Me The MAGA Hat?' Asks Kamala Harris As Jill Biden Stifles Laughter WASHINGTON, D.C. — The traditional unwrapping of presents at the White House took an awkward turn this morning when Jill Biden started snickering uncontrollably after Kamala Harris opened up a gift containing a brand new MAGA hat. According to sources, the morning started off peacefully with chocolate chip pancakes for everyone and a bottle of red wine for Harris before the officials gathered to open presents.
