We weren’t expecting this but the draft has begun a couple of days early.

One draft day trade first. The Boston Red Sox Trade Starter Phil Niekro and a 3rd round pick to the New York Mets to get Yaz back in Fenway Park.

The official timed draft starts at 1:30 EST on Saturday but why wait if everyone is ready

Some Israel Gaza Tweets Worth Seeing

Posted: February 28, 2024 by datechguy in Israel, Israel vs Hamas, middle east
Tags: hamas israel war, Israel Hamas war, reality

With the league Draft a few days away ( and a 2nd league draft one week farther out) let’s turn to twitter for some updates on the war between Israel & Hamas:

A really big roundup here

Some updates and reports from contacts in Rafah/Gaza:

1. Hamas is reportedly digging several contingency tunnels into Egypt to prepare for the escape of a large number of its upper-level commanders, members, leaders, and administrators in the event of a full Israeli ground…
— Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib (@afalkhatib) February 25, 2024

Check out #7 from the above tweet:

7. Mid and upper-level Hamas government administrators, political members, and families of senior Qassam Brigade fighters & commanders are super set with access to all the tents, aid, food, supplies, medicine, and resources needed to sit the rest of the war out.

Cue my shocked face

What’s that old saying? Familiarity breeds contempt.

Hi Hussain,
Since this recent war has begun: a barrel of Oil has not not toped $80, Saudi Ministers have met Israelis, Egypt is still buying Israeli gas…

In Short : the "Palestinian " issue is more of an Issue on the campus of Columbia U. than in Riyadh, Cairo or Amman.
— Odrr (@Odrr180) February 27, 2024

Well in fairness none of the leaders in the middle east jobs are at stake over this war.

Perhaps he should be called an anti-social worker

“An UNRWA social worker kidnapped my son. How can someone working for an organization that claims to do good in this world do something so cruel and inhumane? Antonio Guterres, you are next door. I ask you: Where is my son? Bring him back home.” https://t.co/Z7DMpkVlqd
— Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) February 27, 2024

However bad you think the UN in general and UNRWA in particular are, it’s not enough.

A tragic reminder of the dangers of delusions:

Tamar Kedem-Siman Tov, a social activist, feminist and peace seeker, was running for the leadership of the Eshkol local council on the Gaza border with the slogan “Building a Shared Future”.
The election was due in October. Tamar was butchered by Hamas with her husband Yoni, all… https://t.co/3uWtEVTECe

Reality doesn’t care what positive attributes you assign to those trying to kill you.

Although some people are capable of learning after the fact:

Pro-Palestinian activist changed her mind after seeing what Palestinian terrorists did to Jewish families on October 7.pic.twitter.com/qcMbNmQtrW
— Marina Medvin 🇺🇸 (@MarinaMedvin) February 26, 2024

Help Help I’m being repressed!

As much as everyone wants to make fun of this, it actually reveals what radical Islam is all about

There is a fundamental misunderstanding in the West that everyone just wants freedom. They don't. Some want death and chaos

That is what we are fighting against https://t.co/fL0fzr7fOS
— Ari Hoffman (@thehoffather) February 27, 2024

Do you really want to live in a society where you can’t hijack planes and throw Molotov cocktails? If you don’t the US won’t stop you from leaving.

And finally in response to the insane lionization of the fellow who burned himself to death.

If someone set themselves on fire in solidarity with the Israeli hostages and victims of October 7, I know of not a single Jewish person who would laud the act. Not one.
— Kamel Amin Thaabet (@K_AminThaabet) February 27, 2024

That fellow was the ultimate useful idiot.
