Beirut was the Paris of the Middle East. Lebanon once had a Christian majority so it makes sense. Then guess who tore the city and nation apart in 1976: fucking Palestinians and their Arab puppet masters. Lebanon now has a Muslim majority and will never be what it once was.
I’d guess at least 60 percent of teens and young 20’s are recruits right out of the box, possibly many more. I also have no interest in getting to know any teenagers in 2024 to better shape this opinion of mine, so I’ll be leaning quite heavily on stereotypes and prejudice from here on out.
One thing’s for sure, I was fuckin’ ready to stick it to the man when I was 19 in lots of different ways, like bustin’ out of our cell and demanding our smokes back when the Pulaski County Jail forgot to lock our cell door when they oppressed us really bad for drinking beer and smoking dope in the fish and wildlife preserve.
The UAE could now be called the Paris of the Middle East no?
Extremely wealthy, many who live there (who are not part of the slave class the city needs to keep up and running) are born into absurd generational wealth.
He was in charge of finding Palestinians spying for the Israelis, I have no doubt he employed methods that got him the confessions he wanted, whether those guys were guilty or not.
Interesting, would you happen to have a source for this?
I don’t doubt you btw, just honestly curious about it.
“For nine people, the evidence was sufficient to conclude that they may have been involved in the seventh of October attacks,” deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq told a U.N. briefing.
Considering the UN anti-Israel bias, the fact that they sacked them is significant, so I’m inclined to believe that these 9 guys did take part in some degree in the October 7 atack.
Some Nu metal was actually underrated, and it could do with a comeback esp as it made heavy metal mainstream for a while.
College has become a bit of a scam (I agree with Charlie Kirk on this one). Unless you are doing STEM, trying to become a scientist, doctor, lawyer etc where I live some blue collar jobs can have you clearing 200k yearly… This is without student loans. With the economy where I live in shambles and the median house price for a smaller house now being 1,100,000$ why go to college for 3-6 years or longer (want to do undergrad then become a doctor, that’s 12-15 years depending on what you study, how much course load you take on etc) when you could do tafe for 6-12 months while in school or shortly after you get out and start working far sooner?
Nowadays colleges promote extremely questionable political ideologies and serve as breeding grounds for extremist ideologies that I really dislike because they are toxic frameworks for how a society should function (frameworks that have generally been applied dozens of times with disastrous results)
I go to college because I am interested in the sciences.
