Not even close bud.

I'm white.

I do practice Vedanta and I'm a member of the Vivekananda Vedanta Society.

I was raised Catholic but wanted to understand Eastern philosophy/religion/culture and now I've been to India and many other places around the world through the organization.

That's why I think you are funny because volunteering is a major tenet of the philosophy.

"Service to Man is service to God"--------Swami Vivekananda

the question isnt "when" but "at what cost?"

Im with you in that Hamas has to go but I am of the belief that tens of thousands of innocent people dont need to die in the process. its unconscionable that people are okay with this
8,000 + people are dead already, 3,000 of which are fucking kids, and the situation is getting worse every day.
last I heard the IDF cut off internet access and phone/telecoms so everything is a mess. oh, they also bombed a refugee camp earlier today too

https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/31/middleeast/jabalya-blast-gaza-intl/index.html

it seems that Israel can bomb anywhere they want and kill as many children as they want as long as there might hypothetically maybe... be a Hamas member there...

Removing Hamas necessarily means removing regular Palestinians. As long as Israel remains in the region, regular Palestinians will be radicalized into Hamas.

Close to what, Vivek? You still sound like him, or the budget brand version at least lol

Ah ok, I didn't think westerners still did the whole "finding themselves" in india shtick, too bad you chose such a useless philosophy to follow I guess

omg that swami guy is having another episode on pard, lol. only a matter of time before they start posting random low res pics, absurd tinfoil takes, and numerology nuttery in every thread, like that other weirdo... xD

I don’t even follow politics and the fact that because the guy has a name like “Ramaswammy” and I named my jsp username after the most well known Hindu philosopher whose credited with bringing Hinduism to America you think there’s some “connection”. Your delusional. I’ll pray for you bud. I don’t mean that in a belittling way I think you have some other issues you won’t talk about publicly on this forum. Pm me anytime

Quick to cast a stone?

Keep casting them if it brings you peace.

I’ll pray for you.

You don't follow politics, you just spend hours arguing about them on jsp? Explains some of your opinions I suppose

I think you sound like Vivek because of your opinions and how you express them, you might notice some of the similarities yourself if you followed politics but you are too busy ranting on here and packing food for a foreign "country" that only needs it because of your countries demonic foreign policy.

stop spamming. write a blog or a diary or something, no one cares, you weirdo.

can we talk about how openly netanyahu calls for genocide? that's quite literally ISIS-like rhetoric - and the number of innocent people he already slaughtered certainly back that up:






"man and woman, infant and suckling" - yes, very subtle...

I only recently started posting on P&RD because of what’s going on in Israel/Gaza. I normally don’t post here because it’s filled with toxic people like you and feder who feed off of belittling people. Even when someone like me admits I don’t know much and I’m just here to learn you both just devolve into attacking me for no reason other then the fact I have a different opinion then you do. I’m praying for both you and feder tonight because you both are clearly unhappy with the life you’ve been given. Instead of taking action to help people you merely hide behind a screen and belittle people who openly admit they aren’t an expert on the subject of discussion. People like you could never debate in a lecture format because then it’d be you that would be embarrassed. I feel sorry for you both
