Trump is forcing Israel and Lebanon to ceasefire:

Israeli cabinet ministers are mad that they found out via the news.

The cabinet meeting held via telephone dropped, and they did not get back to the ministers. No vote took place. Netanyahu announced a ceasefire that will begin at midnight. According to him: 'Trump requested it, we have interests with the US.' Netanyahu added: Wherever we are currently located—we will remain there during the ceasefire.

He's also forcing the Lebanese president to meet Netanyahu after Aoun refused to meet with him.

IIRC they accidentally canonized a story where Jesus makes a clay bird and then breathes life into it, transforming it into a real bird.

Which is a serious problem because that tale comes from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, something that was widely considered to be discredited by Christians by the 2nd Century and is associated with Gnostic heretics. Theologically, it's a huge problem for Muslims.
You’re mixing up the Infancy Gospel of Thomas with the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas. They’re different. The infancy gospel is not gnostic in origin but it is extremely weird because nobody really knows why it exists. Proposals have even included that it’s a children’s book, but that’s probably not true because Jesus acts incredibly un-Christlike in it and no parent wants their kid to act like Jesus does in it (being rebellious to authority, getting in petty scraps, not listening to his parents, etc.). But it’s not canonical in part because it wasn’t as widespread as even something like the Protoevangelion of James (where we get basically all Christmas imagery and narratives about Mary) and there’s obvious discomfort trying to fit the Jesus of the IGT alongside the Jesus of the canonical gospels.

But it’s not gnostic and you’re thinking of a different gospel also under the name of James.
 
Israeli agriculture technology.
Hold up. Isreal makes some of the best agricultural technology, for reasons that are hopefully obvious to anyone who passed high school level geography and can remember the region's climate. And you are going to sell that tech to India? You seriously expect India will be able to use it at all, much less correctly? Or that China won't steal it from India?

I thought Jews were supposed to be smart.

Diesel is only slightly above the highs of 2022 as well.
It would be nice if it went back down to pre-war levels. Paying $5+ a gallon is completely fucking up my shipping costs.

China already pays for Israeli agriculture technology. Israel taught subSaharan Africans how to use their technology correctly, the Indians should be easy in comparison. Even if they can't, they still paid for it.

The Israeli seethe lmao


A week before Independence Day, Trump imposes a ceasefire in Lebanon on Israel. A week before Independence Day, the Prime Minister of Israel does not even have enough time to approve the ceasefire in the cabinet; in fact, the cabinet members are being updated by a tweet from President Trump.

i believe you bro. TIL that there's a maximum to the US draft age and it's quite young, which makes the draft dooming even more ridiculous juxtaposed against Ukraine which has cases where they've pulled in what are practically senior citizens to fight

how ironic, originally supporting Israel was largely Democrat, then bipartsian, now Republican. crossed the entire spectrum in 77 years
Hey maybe you all can do us a solid and ensure a red wave in the midterms. Use some of that Jew magic for the republicans or something. Just a thought.

Because I was led to believe that Israel controls everything so clearly this means that republicans are going to win 2/3 majority seats now that the democrats have sided against the elders of Zion.
The funny thing morons like fatpacks doesn't understand is that even if they pull off a blue wave in midterms people will get to see the dem insanity up front again and it'll guarantee more than ever 2028. The political idiot says things are 'doomed' when a short term battle is lost. I'm old enough to have seen the doomers do this over and over and it always backfires.
We may have some bumps in the road but the congressional maps are going to favor republicans because of how stupid blue states are. It doesn’t happen overnight but we are seeing a shift in power to red states that aren’t retarded. Plus Europe is going to collapse sometime soon and that’s going to make a lot of leftists butt hurt especially if Germany and France become complete shit holes.

Congress is the one that can greenlight the draft and they have been hesitant to really commit to the Iran fight, so there was no real risk of a draft. It's basically on dormant standby mode right now just collecting the information of young men so when they do get that greenlight they can immediately start with the prime canadates first. If things get dire Congress can easily expand the age range of draftees in order to draw more manpower.
