…but only one person gets to talk about ea nasir’s yelp ratings.

They can be cool, inspiring events, or funny/dumb ones idc. I’m just looking for stories that make you go “I could see that happening in Jersey” or “My cousin caught a charge for that just last week!”

    In 1976, Benjamin Netanyahu’s brother died. A flight from Israel to Paris had been hijacked by some Palestinian and German terrorists, and flown to Uganda, where they demanded release of prisoners, threatening to kill the Israeli and Jewish passengers (the rest were released). Israel decided to launch a mission on foreign soil to rescue them, and I think Bibi’s older brother was the sole Israeli casualty.

    What we are seeing today in Gaza is most likely, mostly, as a direct result of that death. Raw caveman emotion. (with a few decades of carefully layered public relations)
