Two killed, 9 wounded.
Quote:One of the bombings killed 21-year-old Leon Kanner of Netanya and 22-year-old Eddie Joffe of a Tel Aviv suburb, on February 21, 1969. The two were killed by a bomb that was placed in a crowded Jerusalem SuperSol supermarket which the two students stopped in at to buy groceries for a field trip.[6][7][8][25][26][27][30][31] The same bomb wounded nine others.[27] A second bomb found at the supermarket was defused.[30] Odeh was also convicted of bombing and damaging the British Consulate four days later.[5][26][32][33] Israeli authorities said the bombings were the work of the PFLP, which claimed credit for the bombings.[30][34]

Pretty cool. Such a diverse incoming congressional class.
Also way cool to be around a book that old.
Pretty cool?
Which part?
Women can't drive, clitoral laceration, stoning of women, or throwing gay people off roofs of buildings?
Maybe the destruction of historic landsites and monuments? Taliban style?
WITF is wrong with you people? good grief.

Apologetic rationalization of stupidity. Tiring.

dems are desperate for “rising stars”, as their leaders are all in their 70s and 80s. Odds are, welchie saw her name trending somewhere and maybe a vox headline or two, and he ran to make a thread because he thought he had just discovered the hip, new up and comer. So she turned out to be a literal terrorist sympathizer, big deal.
Just like AOC. They’ll latch onto anyone, even if they legitimately have a <70 IQ. I saw her first interview and she said the word “community” twice in the first 5 words, and would have said it 3 times in the first sentence, but she stopped herself, because she realized there is no such thing as the “American community”.

Seems like the Republicans have studied the book very well. Although an infidel like me isn't easily deceived.

Can't imagine anything in the Koran is any more crazy than the batsh** garbage that's in the Old Testament.

Koran doesn't have a "New" telling followers to cease with the "Old".

I read the Koran back in college while dating a Turkish girl. Yeah, there's crazy stuff in both; however, lots of it is in how it is interpreted, just as it is in the bible.

This new wonderful muslim is making her character known early. Announced to a mixed crowd at a press conference “we’re gonna beat that mother******!” More democrat class.

I think the better word is "ignored". The vast majority of Christians now ignore the idiocy in the Old Testament. Apparently some Muslims still subscribe to similar verses in the Koran, based on their actions.

If you read both or have even read some of both the difference is clear. The koran and islam as a whole is a political cult. Read Marc Gabriel’s book. The difference will be obvious. No where in the Bible is ruling the world with force demanded. islam is all about ruling THIS PHYSICAL WORLD with force and death. Obvious difference is obvious.

Great clip. I think I read somewhere the Harrison Ford adlibbed that scene. He wasn't feeling well that day and instead of doing the planned fight scene he just pulled out the gun to end the scene early.

Good post... I admit to not understanding the usage as well. I knew that TJ read it merely to study up on the culture, but I was ignorant to specifically 'why'. I also agree with the overall diversity, and hope (against hope) for a diversity of ideas.
I don't know if the congresswoman intends to be poking a bear here or not, but because I don't know her at all, I'm willing to assume positive intentions until given other evidence.
If the Quran is HER holy book, then swearing to defend the Constitution on it is meaningful... more meaningful than her swearing on a bible.... and the fact that this copy has historical meaning is in my mind, cooler than just some random copy.... but I get that some people have concerns.
This though to me is one of those where people can choose to be offended or not... and what matters to me is if offense is intended.... which we don't know

It doesn't matter if the motivation is political or not, the bible also has verses encouraging invading a neighbor and killing everyone including women and children.

They changed the scene to that because Ford had dysentery.
