It's clear Egypt put a lot of work into working out something to keep Israel from taking control of the Philadelphia corridor. That's why they're angry Israel blew off the deal and took anyway...from Egypt's perspective what they put out there doesn't matter because what they tried to prevent has now happened anyway. You want to say "shat on the deal proposal" instead, fine by me. Egypt, like many other countries, is trying to save Rafah from total invasion and destruction. It's clear Israel has no interests in pulling off on that and even has us scrambling because we hoped for at least a temporary ceasefire (saw we woke up suprised this morning). And now, this: IDF takes control of Rafah border crossing; aid flow halted, official says https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/05/07/israel-hamas-war-rafah-news-gaza-palestine/

Israel doesn't want a ceasefire that gives Hamas a chance at not being fully eliminated...they've said this, but deductive reasoning is that's temporary at best and there's really no stopping them from eventually going into Rafah to "finish the job". Where are you reading it was changed at the last minute? Everything I'm seeing is Israel wouldn't agree because Hamas wanted it to permanent and Israel wanted temporary. The core of it was to give up remaining hostages and deal with war dead on both sides that was impeded by lack of a even a temporary ceasefire.

Israel just shat all over the cease-fire Egypt helped work out for Hamas that would've helped keep those refugees and terrorists from crossing the border.

You sure about that? Israeli troops take control of Rafah border crossing, angering Egypt https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/05/07/rafah-israel-gaza-egypt-crossing/

Well...that's one way to me sure aid gets in... /sarcasm

Blood is on the dancefloor...get a mop...

Maybe it's more dealing with Ant then Gobert? Could all be in his head, I realized Ant was probably the strongest guard in the NBA almost soon as he was drafted. Overall the Wolves are a really good defensive team, you don't have to blame it all in them, but man, as big as I felt Denver was compared to Miami last year that **** doesn't seem to matter right now.

@Dr. Do Itch Big called this, it made total sense then, the proof is in the pudding. Denver is lucky they got their ring before Wolves reached their final form, and double lucky to get an 8th seed in a finals match up. Did they handle their business, sure, but theyre in the wrong place at the wrong time now. And Wemby's Spurs aren't even good yet.

Was beginning to suspect I might somehow still be the youngest regular poster here... But looks like there's a Packer fan damn near full year younger then me. Congratulations 👶

With Schools in Ruins, Education in Gaza Will Be Hobbled for Years https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/06/world/middleeast/gaza-schools-damaged-destroyed.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

Please...jus make one good movie that doesn't involve Batman... Please, if you can do this, maybe you can make another...

You are correct on Gaza is pretty much gone, all she wrote. Jordan Rover reference is for when they come after the West Bank next. They've already accelerated building in East Jerusalem. If it walks like a duck AND quacks like a duck...

Yep. You should copy-paste this post for 20 years from now when they pushing Palestinians into the Jordan River as part of "war zone evacuations"...

I got bad news for you...

We are well past the point of "what's the right thing to do here"... We can't control the past, but we can keep it from controlling us. Decisions in the present is how we impact the future that we also cannot control. But the plan has been in plain sight, no matter what anyone wants to call it: https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2024-03-13/israel-religious-nationalists-gaza

Yea...I'm not buying anything stops Israel from invading Rafah to finish off Hamas. This ceasefire may help get the rest of the hostages out and maybe some aid in, and that's about it. And I'm usually the optimist...this isn't over from a long shot, and that's pending Israel even agreeing to this cease-fire in the first place, like you said.

Every page in this thread since these protests on campuses started have marginalized them as individuals and impact. I can't with a straight face pretend I didn't get many of the rights I have right now from civil disobedience, incovinence, or outright distruption. The core of this matter, especially concerning young people, has been where our country's money is going versus where it should or could be going. Making the case to stop individual campuses from dealing monetarily with Israel as it may in some way contribute to this war is not surprising and understandable in the middle of a *checks notes* student debt crisis. One of things I notice in Columbia's demands was to stop dealing with the university system in Tel Aviv and prevent the building of a larger center in Israel...where is that money coming from? https://globalcenters.columbia.edu/tel-aviv We can send billions to Israel but its like pulling teeth to address the costs of their own college education or healthcare because it costs too much? Do you want young people to be more politically active or not? Can't have your cake and eat it, too.

My Wife and I had our graduations canceled due to COVID. We were going to get our Masters and walk at the same time in the same stage after getting married while still in grade Scholes together. This same campus is not to far removed from something similar the whole country went through, pretty much every campus. We survived that. They survived it as well.

Don't threaten me.with a good time...

Antman vs Alien for league supremacy sounds so 2024 I'm waiting the flying cars to show up next. Beam me up, Scottie.

It's me. Hi. I'm the problem, it's me.

For better or worse, the protest are causing disruption bringing further attention to the matter they are protesting. Not everyone is tuned into what's going on in Gaza the way some of us are. And protests are not meant to be convenient.
