LOL, you clearly don't know who the author is, given that you diagnosed them with TDS based on a descriptor that can be thought to be accurate even by the biggest MAGA heads. You then proceeded to decide for them who their audience is (if they even have one), and what will lose them? Sounds to me like an argument based on identity rather than substance, which is supposedly one of the key things Trump voters where fighting against?

ETA: More succinctly, Reverse TDS
But
Might be fantastic (didn't read), but the second they say "greasy smile," [redacted] have lost their target audience.
This is definitely accurate. People should avoid phrases such as these when trying to convince others of something.

I wouldn't call such a dire sounding thread "fantastic", but I get your sentiment that nothing really changed and it's all a "fantasy". If Mike Huckabee gets his way we could really see changes to the status quo, like annexation of Judea and Samaria. But as the thread author says, these things have to be planned and executed properly, not just saying some nice buzz words here and there and doing nothing to actually change things.

The quoted quote tweet misses the top of the flyer, adding it here.
Any source given for "'un-live Jews' (their words)"?
(Agav, instead of posting the commentary/reactions, why not post the original item? The event and flyer are usually the news, not the response. Applies to many posts in this thread, not just this one)

I definitely saw that on the poster, it must have been removed from this one.

I sometimes see things and then only send it later when I come across it again. I don't always go back and look where I saw it originally.

If you mean "first intifada" It's on the poster, I meant that the format it displays in doesn't show the top in the preview. Which brings us to what is the post trying to say, and what's the best way for it to say.

If you meant the un live jews quote, I'm still looking

Let me try to find the original poster that had that line on it for you.

The colors and low resolution make it hard to read, but this seems right:

There we go. Bill Ackman was wrong, the "original flyer" shared is really just someome else's commentary (maybe the guy whose name is on the bottom "@ThisFearlessJew"?), and the flyer doesn't say they'll teach them how to stab, rather depicts a stone or fist breaking a knife/bayonet.

Which is why the original stories are important, not someone's impression of someone else's cynical take of an original story.

aha. thanks for clarifying. so the broken knife is actually meant to symbolize that they will be teaching PEACEFUL strategies of the intifada. wow. so nice of them.

Re: How Would You Know a DDF Account Was Sold?

Which IDF capabilities? That we are 6 month into a war with a tiny strip of land and no major accomplishments? Still flying rockets here and there, only 2 hostages rescued, hamas is coming back every place they are leaving

In my opinion the IDF are losers
I know hindsight is 20/20, but this seems awfully shortsighted. Especially in light of what was accomplished by the IDF, with God's help. Sorry for posting about this now, just saw this post and felt like I had to respond.
