Rabbi coming thru with the language of fellow nerds to put things into context...
  • Keep reading friend

    The school is situated between two other UNRWA schools that currently each accommodate 1,500 internally displaced persons.

    And yes, at the time the rockets were discovered they were not actively being fired. It's still a war crime to store them in a school.

    If you're talking about the 2017 propaganda piece, yeah. Gullible leftists like you who need a star wars storyline railroaded into complicated real world conflicts would love to believe that, but actions speak louder than words. Most of the hostages taken during October 7th were not soldiers, they were innocent civilians. Some of them weren't even Israeli

  • Sure. Here's a Jpost article. The language is right-leaning and incendiary, but the pictures are real.

    Here's a UNRWA source:

    To be honest, it's a bit embarrassing that you're invested at all in this horrible conflict without even realizing who Hamas is, or what they stand for. Hamas is famous for using civilians as human shields, and it is no secret that they continue to do so.

    Here's a link from Yale University that has Hamas' founding charter:

    Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious

    The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).

    We should not forget to remind every Moslem that when the Jews conquered the Holy City in 1967, they stood on the threshold of the Aqsa Mosque and proclaimed that "Mohammed is dead, and his descendants are all women."

    Israel, Judaism and Jews challenge Islam and the Moslem people. "May the cowards never sleep."

    Keep in mind, I'm not saying that innocent people being bombed by Israel is okay, but don't pretend that Hamas are freedom fighters. They'd love nothing more than to enact a second Holocaust, and they're religious fanatics in every sense of the word.

  • My 2nd grade daughter has tested Highly Academically and Intellectually Gifted (HAG in NC). What do I do? Please advice.
  • I agree with the rest of the commenters, ask her what she wants. Smart kids don't stop being smart just because their classes are easier, and by the time she hits college things will likely even out. I was in a similar situation but really liked my friends, so I stayed where I was and I'm really happy I did. I have lifelong friends and things have really worked out for me.

    That being said, if she's entirely indifferent, and you're not worried about burnout, it's always good to help make sure she's intellectually engaged. I was very bored for most of elementary and middle school, and I do regret that somewhat.

    Finally, I will say that my true passions I pursued outside of school. If she has interests, make them accessible to her whether they be sports, chess, programming, dance knitting, science, etc. Find clubs and books.

  • Listen dude, that's average wage. If you got stiffed one night out of the week, you're SOL that night and you made $2.13 / hour. If you make less than $7.25 hourly in a pay period then you'll be brought up to minimum wage, but in any given night, servers only make $2.13 hourly without tips.

    Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.

    They are actually following the legal process

  • Given the current policies of the Biden administration, my understanding is that most immigrants are actually going through the legal process of claiming asylum.

    Channel 5 did a little mini documentary about it that I personally enjoyed: https://youtu.be/2dQ4-VNaG3s
