Fuggin white people, eh?

Are those people firing rockets into American communities?

LOL

That swarma looks good. I miss getting those and falafel in Jerusalem. I liked lots of tomato and cucumber and some curry sauce. I also miss the bread they used to sale on the streets that came with some kind of seasoning wrapped in a piece of newspaper. They called it zata or something like that.

Why worry about optics? You know he can just call in a strike from the Jewish Space Lasers if he gets in a bind, right

Before the Tavor didn't the Israelis have a rifle based off an improved AK design similar to the south African R5? I can't remember what it was called but I remember seeing guys with them when I lived there in 97.

In the old city the military girls often had Uzis back then. I was 24 and in love with those Uzi girls. I've got a pic of me stashed away somewhere with an IDF girl that looked like Natalie Portman.

I hope they get things straightened out over there because I love that part of the world. I think this time it's going to take some time.

That would be my favorite rifle of all time...the Galil. Basically an AK that fires 5.56 rounds and uses M16 mags, with some nice features that the AK doesn't have. The bread you're thinking of is pita with olive oil and zatar. One of the great street food snacks of all the world. I go to Abu Lafia in Jaffa, on the edge of tel Aviv, for the best of the best.

My (Catholic) Lebanese Armenian friends taught me how to make it. Called it "manesh" or "manaesh" or something similar. It sure is great stuff.

When I hear Jew I’m thinking Barbara…..the bignose bitch! Been a liberal bitch all her life!

Good to hear you're back.

I understand there are some American volunteers doing the farming while the folks are in Gaza or getting ready for the Hezbollah invasion. They call them "cowboys" or something to that effect. Anyone else hear about this ?

kwg

Yeah.

Their weapon of choice is a Dennis the Menace slingshot fueled with hard candy from Oregon.

Sleep easy.

It's accurate to the extent there are some ranch guys from Montana and Texas over right now, but my understanding is that it's just a few and they aren't working so Israelis can fight. With all respect to American cattle ranchers, their expertise wouldn't really be useful in Israel, where the ranching/farming is on a much smaller scale and focused on livestock other than cattle.

The kibbutz system would mystify us.

I liked the pita with oil a lot too but the bread I was thinking of looked more like a big round pretzel IIRC. I can't remember the shape exactly but I think it had sesame seeds on it and was kind of a pretzl color maybe a foot tall in an oblong oval maybe 2.5" in diameter. It was a laven bread light and airy in the middle. They pushed it around stacked on big carts.

I remember eating the best flat bread I've ever had at some place in Jordan near Jerash that made it in a big clay oven. They'd bring out a big bowl of hummus and put a depression in the center and fill it with good oil. They had various little side dishes of veggies and peppers and olives you ate with it. It was simple but so good I still remember it. Although I'm assuming you don't go to Jordan much.

I've tried to make falafel here but just can't seem to get it crisp onbthe outside with the right texture on the inside like the Jerusalem street vendors did. I don't remember what tge white sauce was but it was good too. Some places put a little lemon in it that I liked. I think it was a yogurt sauce or something. One cart had a good curry sauce that mixed really well with the white sauce.

A lot of the other students I was with always wanted to go to Ben yahoda street, which I'm sure I just spelled completely wrong, to eat McDonald's or other American joints. I'm glad I had tge wisdom at that age to eat at the local joints and try new stuff all the time.

I always tried to get them to avoid McDonald's and said that place will kill you. One day we were headed there and 3 suicide bombers set themselves off at about the same time right near the McDonald's. My friend turned to me and said you were right, that place will kill us.

Not the majority of Americans who frequent this site. But I have my doubts about others repelling foreign invaders. Yamamoto's trepidation is no longer valid.

I think you're referring to Ka'ak. With some goat cheese, amazing stuff.

There’s a lot of places in Appalachia that the cops won’t even go, much less some goat fugker or CCP slope.

Talk about a closed society...Kibbutzim are very insular and they do what they do the way they do it and don't want to hear otherwise. Plus, they are sort of a relic. You'd be hard pressed to find a kibbutz or moshav that is as big as a typical American cattle operation. They tend to focus on chickens/eggs and lambs, but even so, I have a feeling that the way they do things would confound American ranchers even for the small cattle ranches there...as I remember, most cattle are for dairy purposes, not meat.

He wasn't here the morning after a guy shot the BLM marchers.
Upwards of 200 guarding the house and business, literally guys in treestands doing
watch. BLM mentioned burning our courthouse on social media, i went there
that evening. Folks everywhere on all 4 streets, hundreds of people with guns of all kinds. Pick and axe handles....no pitchforks😁.

I'm a thinking Hillbilly Small Town got plenty of fight.
