During the last incursion, did they ever even take the effort to TRY and prove that there were munitions stored in those schools? I mean, the only thing I saw come out of them was dead children and stuff.

No, they just say it over and over again as if it's true and no one in the media will actually call them out on it

Fake edit: That and you'd have to do forensic inspections to determine if there ever were bombs in those basements and by then nobody gives a poo poo anymore

There were rockets found in two empty schools that weren't used by anybody else at the time. When UN workers noticed, they reported them and they were subsequently removed. There hasn't been any evidence of rockets being found in the schools that were used as shelters, and you'd think that any of the hundreds of people actually living in those would have mentioned it if any rockets were lying around there.

Nah. UN terror schools / rocket warehouses are commonly brought up online and occasionally on the news, but officially Israel shelled it because Hamas was "in the vicinity" and Israeli artillery crews aren't very accurate / don't give a poo poo about 17 instances of the school giving its exact coordinates in an attempt to prevent tragedy.

Yeah nah, the TSA might be heavy-handed goons sometimes but they're not loving idiots, they work in airports and know how boarding passes and poo poo work and if your license says "Ted Rall III" and your boarding pass says "RallIII" they're going to loving figure it out. They might give Rall a hard time because he's a huge rear end in a top hat who probably makes snide comments about them every single time he's in an airport, but it's not because they're too thick to comprehend the most basic of name notations.

That all said I did find "Mr. III" to be a funny idea.

The fact that Rall is a III is funny to me. Like, I know people do it for other reasons, but I'm imagining his father and grandfather having as large egos as his and thinking that there's no one on earth more deserving of naming someone after than themselves. Also, it makes you sound like quasi-nobility, which is funny for Rall the wannabe revolutionary.

Even more hilarious is that Ted Rall doesn't get along with his dad. They're very much estranged, and has been since he was a kid, when his parents divorced.

Not that there's a whole lot of politicians actually willing to go to bat for legalizing/decriminalizing pot, however.

Actually I don't think Goldberg was ever against decriminalization—he's just attributing his own obviously correct worldview to everyone with a brain, i.e., Not Liberals—but I wanted to make that Kerry joke. God bless.

Instead, during a press conference, Netanyahu referred to explosions at a UN Bomb Shelter as "OSHA-related workplace accidents wherein pilots who were moving missiles from their planes into the basement of the shelter too quickly simply caused them to explode"
