    Yeah, in fact so long that they should all be dead by starvation because starvation doesn’t take 5 1/2 months to kill you.

    Why is the death count not skyrocketing? Is this going to be yet another very simple question you refuse to answer?

    There were a ton of Japanese that had to be killed before they would stop their war machine. If the Hamas would evacuate the citizens, rather than use them as shields, none would be harmed. And don't forget who started the conflict by launching 5,000 rockets against Israeli citizens.

    That depends on who is chanting it and what they mean by it. It could also mean support for Israel from the river to the sea, and the elimination of Palestine, which is part of the platform of Nettenyahu's hardline supporters.

    LOL -- "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is".

    Netanyahu wants Israel under its own complete control, from the river to the sea. It's part of his political platform. You don't seem to mind the phrase when his people use it.

    Israel isn't killing civilians indiscriminately. It is at war with Hamas and, sadly, produces some unintended consequences. Collateral damage occurs in every war. Just curious. Do you think the Russians are killing Ukrainians indiscriminately?

    A fair question would be "can there be a war without collateral damage?"

    there can be war without war crimes against innocent women and children and starving them to death or killing them while trying to get food

    the Gaza citizens are like fish in a barrel, Israel controls them

    Israel has a duty to limit collateral damage. By using a large volume of unguided bombs, they are not observing that obligation. And they are using unguided bombs because they simply don’t care about Mooslim lives (the same reason conservatives are supporting Israel).

    Russia is at fault for its bs reasons for entering the war, but at least Russia is using guided weapons to limit collateral damage.

    Netanyahu can keep his ass in israel. I don't want another so-called foreign ally's leader coming here to interject their bullshit into my pocket. Not one more dime to other shithole countries (yes, israel is a shithole....been there). Especially one that has taken my tax money and then my dumbass government can't even get land access to Gaza and has to 'air drop' aid. That's ridiculous. **** Netanyahu and israel's government.

    The Israeli army is even more sensitive to collateral damage than our own. This is an urban war with the enemy hiding among the innocent public and yet the the collateral damage figures are similar to what the U.S. Army experiences in war if you deduct the Hamas deaths as reported by Israel from the overall totals as reported by Hamas. I don't recommend believing the numbers on either side. Hamas has a zero chance of beating the Israeli military so it uses propaganda as its primary weapon. Sorry you fall for it. Remember these are terrorists.

    The Russians have targeted apartment buildings - many of them - so one can only conclude that the weapons aren't well guided. The apartment buildings in Gaza are collateral damage despite your opinion. Every building in Gaza has or had Hamas hiding in it. The innocent civilians in Gaza should be helping the Israelis root our Hamas but they don't. It is tragic by any definition. Having some experience at war I can tell you that it is even worse than you think it is.

    No it is impossible. Every war has collateral damage. Tragic to be sure but that is the truth. It is Hamas starving its population, not Israel. Try not to fall for the terrorist propaganda from Hamas. You shouldn't believe anything they say. You can disbelieve everything Israel says if you like but be sure to ignore Hamas.

    Oh yeah :bored: . That must be the reason why the israelis flatten everything with Caterpillar bulldozers.....that hasn't be flattened by bombs. Using your own logic "every building in Gaza has Hamas in it", then Gaza will be flattened and eliminated.

    Sorry but I don't buy the zionist propaganda.

    No, Hamas is saying innocent citizens have to be killed. What do you expect will happen when Hamas starts a conflict while it's war machine headquarters is in the basement of a hospital?

    True. Israel's response to terrorists who murder Israelis has been to bulldoze their homes. It is meant to be a disincentive to engage in terrorism. Apparently it works to some degree.

    OK, I'll mark you down as someone who doesn't buy zionist propaganda.

    True. government doesn't need money to buy things like weapons. It just buys them and has the treasury department handle it. The treasury can create money with nothing but a computer entry.

    The only people I have heard chanting it were college students who were decided in favor of the Palestinians.

    Yes, by selling the Fed notes, but the thing is, that creating money is not the same as creating value, which is why we are having such a fight with inflation. They are creating money without an offsetting amount of additional goods and services for Americans to use, which devalues the money in our wallets.

    no slowly killing people via starvation when you control when and where they can go as is the case here

    otherwise Hitler could justify starving the Jews, which would be ridiculous

    The Israelis aren't starving anyone. Hamas is starving the Palestinians. Try to avoid believing terrorist propaganda.

    I'm amazed at the people who believe the Israelis are the bad guys. It's the Hamas who started the conflict by attacking a peaceful Israel and killing its civilians. I have to think those who are now condemning Israel must be Jew haters. If your opinion is to hate Jews then that is your right, but be honest about it.
