History repeating itself.

Look at the fear on one of the hostages' face after being taken to the Red Cross

This is so amateur and disgusting but they do this on purpose, to instill as much fear as possible.

[deborahdeshoftim5779]

I'm glad others had the same thought about Red Cross as I did: fifteen months of doing nothing to help Israel's hostages, only to stand ready and waiting to help Hamas transport hostages to Israel.

Shame on them forever. I will never donate a penny to this organisation as long as I live.

There are your "innocent civilians in Gaza": willing zombies offering themselves as cannon fodder to terrorists, and inciters of genocide against the Jews.

from the celebrations in gaza. teaching children to chant “khaybar khaybar ya yahood,” a chant glorifying the massacre of jews.

And the release of Yahya Sinwar in 2011 enabled him to plan the October 7 atrocity. Releasing terrorists is always a horrible idea, even if Israel has few other good options. That's why I haven't been celebrating this hostage exchange.

another terrorist attack in tel aviv. but yes let’s all support letting out more bc ben gvir resigned.

meanwhile clearly you all dont remember when TERRORISTS RELEASED IN DECEMBER MURDERED ISRAELIS.

please.

Hamas has been in violation of a ceasefire since October 7, 2023.

hamas already broke the deal?

shocking.

[deborahdeshoftim5779]

The difference between Israelis and Palestinians is stark. One side, Israel, fervently hopes for the release of innocent people; the other side, the Palestinian Arabs, celebrates the freedom of utter moral filth like mass murderers. And people wonder why there's no peace.

this is who you make glib jokes about releasing. people who would do this again and have after being released from prison in previous deals.

our hostages should have been released oct 8 2023 with no prisoner exchange. fuck hamas. stop enabling them with gross jokes.

True Idiots in Love

Asking the other one to marry them, before even being together or having confessed their love for each other

Being in a really healthy and nurturing relationship that people love to witness - without realizing they actually are in a relationship

Living together for some time, being engaged to get married, and still questioning if the other one actually really likes them or if they're just being nice and a good friend

Both trying to ask the other one out on a date, thinking the other one is talking about dating someone else

One of them breaking the news that they got together to their friends and family, excited that it finally happened - but their partner missed the memo, completely misunderstood their "getting together" story, and is still thinking their love is unrequited

Being a couple is an inside joke for them, casually "joking" about being each other's wife/husband, even in front of people who don't know it's a joke, and that make them realize that it never really was a joke

Hamas’s premature ceasefire celebrations in Gaza reveal a striking paradox: the imagery of jubilant crowds chanting slogans, firing guns into the air, and singing songs of triumph appears entirely at odds with the devastation and suffering that preceded these scenes. More than a moment of collective relief or hope, these celebrations were defined by their focus on glorifying violence, particularly against Jews, and venerating figures like Mohammed Deif, the mastermind behind Hamas’s terror campaigns. The tone of the celebrations, which dwelled not on peace or rebuilding but on past and future acts of violence, sheds light on the deeper ideological underpinnings that drive Hamas and its supporters. The chants of ‘Khaybar, Khaybar, ya Yahud!’ – a reference to the seventh-century Muslim destruction of the Jews who had moved to Khaybar after Mohammed banished them from Madina – are not simply historical allusions but a rallying cry rooted in Islamic ideology. This reference signals a desire to emulate the early conquests of Islam, positioning the destruction of Jews and the reclaiming of land as both a religious imperative and a political objective. For Hamas, this ideological framework transforms the conflict with Israel into far more than a territorial dispute; it becomes an existential struggle, sanctified by religious history and doctrine.

Jonathan Sacerdoti, writing in The Spectator, exposes the malign basis of the Palestinian "cause": Islamic supremacism, domination, and imperalism. The chants of "Khaybar" have been used in pro-Palestinian marches all around the world, including in cities like London. That people, as Sacerdoti later points out, hardly ever mention this fact shows more than just wilful blindness. It is cowardice, especially fear of Islamic reprisals if people dare to point out that the Palestinian cause is nothing more than Islamic terrorism. Sacerdoti's full article is available here: Why Hamas Keeps on Celebrating.

And if I am not mistaken, improvisation was expected from star musicians.

How much better were baroque musicians than modern musicians? On the one hand, most baroque music doesn't use the advanced techniques developed in the romantic period, and most string music rarely goes into extended positions: it's all more or less what a modern violinist would be expected to know with only two or three years of study.

On the other hand, they were expected to sight read new compositions on an almost daily basis. They premiered master works with probably only one rehearsal the day of. And they only got one shot at it, as most of them were never performed again. And they almost all played more than one instrument. All woodwind players played every woodwind, all string players played every string instrument, all of them could play the keyboard, all of them could sing, etc.

1- J.S. Bach was also sent to prison for "too stubbornly forcing the issue of his dismissal" from the Weimar court he worked for

2- He was supposed to take four weeks of leave from his job at Arnstadt, but took four months to remain in Lübeck and hear (and possibly play) the works of Dieterich Buxtehude

3- He was reprimanded by the Arnstadt Consistorium for bringing a strange girl into the organ loft to make music

4- Bach also got into numerous rather tedious disputes with the Leipzig Council over various infractions, real or perceived. One of his biggest complaints was about money

Funny things J.S. Bach did

-wrote a 20+ minute song about coffee

-picked a fight with a bassoonist calling him a “nanny-goat bassoonist”

-threw his wig at a musician who played a wrong note

-the second movement of Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, which is just two half-note chords

-kids

tag yourself I’m the second movement of Brandenburg Concerto No. 3
