Typical fascist behavior (Scott Adams is the Dilbert creator, has same terminal cancer as Biden); (unlike Biden, no chance he’s lying…):

Scott Adams is an American icon and I’ve been a Dilbert reader for most of my life.
Like most great Americans, he is known for telling it like it is amidst a sea of lies.

In this we have to disagree. But jumping to the Hamas bandwagon has definitely been a mistake for palestinians who have done so.
I think the reality is a bit more complex than that. Not trying to defend the palestinian hostilities though.
So when they took billions of dollars in aid and used it for self enrichment instead of building ports and other infrastructure we should just accept “its complicated” as an answer.
Or when they dug up water lines and used them as rocket tubes to launch at their neighbors?
They’ve had decades of aid, trillions of dollars and gigatons of humanitarian aid to establish a working system of commerce and life supporting infrastructure, and all they do is attack the hands that feed.
Thats not complicated.
That place should be the crown jewel of the Mediterranean, but instead its a ghetto filled with rats.
I think this is partly different topic already.
Not if you ask these folks, who really stuck it to Trump and Israel yesterday by disrupting everyone’s business in Portland.
This crowd looks like they might be yearning for the smug satisfaction they got from spitting on Vietnam veterans when they were young.
They don’t really believe in the cause of the protest…they are being paid to protest
DOJ needs to follow the money
I’m not so sure the money is there anymore. Maine has a lot of boomer leftists, some quite wealthy. Most of Shenna Bellows campaign photos are full of retirees who look to be well off.
I’m quite certain that many of our Biden era protests were well funded. The 2020 BLM march in Lewiston was highly coordinated and well organized with a comparatively massive turnout. It was led by out of town people for sure.
It was also endorsed by the Governor who was busy shutting down businesses for far smaller congregations of people. Social justice was more important than social distancing.
Regardless if they are paid idiots or volunteer idiots, there is no shortage of idiots in Maine.

Not just in Maine either…idiots are everywhere
But in Maine, they’re all siblings.
I think you mistake Maine for West Virginia
If you look closely, one of the protesters is an M.D. I have two retired M.D.s in the family of similar ages who are still firm democrats.
None of them are idiots in any traditional sense, obviously. In the case of my family, they seem to get all their news from CNN and local NBC, ABC and CBS “programming”, and take the stories and narratives at face value.
I’ve shared a small amount of local news with them and they flat out don’t believe it. They think I’m some brainwashed Trumper, even though I’ve never watched Fox News at home.
Well my lunch break was a real let down. I saw that Nancy Mace shared a nude photo of herself in testimony, got my hopes up, and was profoundly disappointed in this Trump administration official. You could barely see anything.
This classic hit my feed right after. I can’t believe so many people ignored the warnings of so many Hollywood actors.
THE TRIED TO WARN US!!!
Really? When (re Palestinian population).
Well.. There’s also Palestinian Islamic Jihad
And the Palestinian Authority who… don’t forget… has a martyrs fund that pays out families who have dead relatives if those relatives died committing acts of “resistance” such as suicide bombing (bonus points if that bomber is a child!) Or those relatives could have been fighting as part of Hamas, PIJ
Supporting evil? Totally
Hamas being the only entity to oppose Israel through violent grounds? Hardly… Fatah USED to be a terrorist organisation (and likely still are, though they’ve publicly renounced violence) and the PLO was a terrorist organisation before it became irrelevant.

Almost all the data I’ve seen supports this.
I found with quick Googling I did found a source which says that at least in the west bank (Fatah territory) violence has not been most preferred option:
So what about the martyr fund if they don’t support violence within an impoverished region where many might actually resort to violence just to support struggling family even if they aren’t ideologically captured as the men might see it as the only way of preserving honour within the family when they can’t make ends meet and provide.
Fatah denounced violence secondary to two variables… strategic means (seeing armed struggle wasn’t a forseeable path to victory) and EXTREME pressure from Israel, the United States etc… without mounting pressure building over time Fatah would have never denounced violence
That and the West Bank is NOT Fatah territory. The West Bank is ruled by the PA and Hamas also operates out of the west bank (which the Palestinian Authority supports)
Other groups such as
Al-Aqsa’s martyr brigades (terrorist) are or have been historically tied to Fatah even after they denounced violence
To this DAY Fatah runs broadcasts in Arabic with english translation where the english translation is peaceful yet the Arabic actually celebrates martyrdom, advocates for armed struggle etc… I’d put money down they helped fund/facilitate Oct 7 and other terrorist attacks behind the scenes just as it is VERY likely Egypt turned a blind eye and/or knew about Hamas burrowing into/out of Egypt using tunnels and smuggling in weapons/drugs/contraband.
The random capitalization makes me crazy.
