    so what?
    Again, so what? Aggression is aggression.
    As long as Hamas leaders are snug in top rated hotels in Qatar, I wonder how that's; gonna go.
    Source?
    Refugees don't rape, murder and imprison. They don't use their own citizens as human shields.

    Sadly, I don't believe everything I'm told or read! If that were the case I'd have taken you first argument and narrative at face value... But with just a bit of common sense questions much of the initial points have continually evolved and morphed in to MANY more completely different approaches to this complicated issue..

    I think it still after all this, it's clear some can justify slaughter when it's kept at an equal or being performed on folks of no consequence to them. Clearly Some folks are willing to accept terrorism when it suits their ideology.

    As I say, complicated issue, probably even more so, a personal struggle justifying one and not the other..

    As I said, ol Slick Willie made the decision, and until that's changed I comfortable with hamas as the bad guys..

    There are no "human shields" in Gaza.

    That is a STUPID accusation by Israel.

    The IDF will literally kill anyone. That alone means there are no human shields.

    . Total failure. Anti-semantic crap versus actual brain work.

    Careful - if you go to Gaza, the IDF will blow you away.

    Nonsense. I'd worry more about your beloved Hamas maniacs.

    Israel is defending itself in a proportionate civilized manner.

    And now the pro-Hamas rioters are pissed that they can't donate blood.

    Slaughtering 30,000 civilians and starving the rest to death is something you believe is "proportionate" and "civilized"?

    Are you running with scissors AGAIN?

    You should worry about the IDF.

    They hang out in windows with their guns sticking out, to make it easier to snipe them.

    They drive their tanks around with no ground troops, so people can walk up and attach explosives.

    When an IDF armored troop carrier is hit, other armored troop carriers drive away out of fear, leaving the wounded/dead behind.

    They are good at blowing up homes in the middle of the night and sniping civilians on the street.

    They can destroy hospitals and torture doctors, too. They are good at that part.

    The difference is only time. Hamas would have slaughtered twice that many in 6 months if they weren’t driven back. You have nothing to argue from. It sounds like a pacifist response pearl harbor, we should have just stopped at the battle of midway and called it a day. We’re even, so let’s move on.
    The only reason the war continues is, Hamas refuses to stop fighting…

    It’s a numbers game that defeats the bogus idea of genocide.
    Nearly 2million Palestinians live in peace in Israel with full voting rights. More than the number in Gaza. It’s fight about democracy vs religious fanatics ideology…..2 million of Palestinian decent and most want to live free in Israel….

    And this is not genocide here. It’s about self defense.

    Funny,” genocide” as you keep calling it, stops if Hamas turns the hostages over and laid down their arms…..tell us, what would happen if Israel laid down their arms and became pacifists….hamas and Iran supported factions would slaughter the entire state of Israel.

    Americans want the IDF to go into Rafah and finish the job.

    Being a deeply moral people, Israel is preparing massive tent cities for the Gazans that wish to remove themselves, from the fighting. The problem is in a cult that values martyrdoom, will they? We'll soon find out if they value their lives over helping to conceal terrorists and hostages.

    upload_2024-5-5_10-5-42.png

    Despite our campuses, American's remember: NEVER AGAIN!

    CONSEQUENCES: Hagerty joins chorus of GOP senators stoking efforts to cut funding from universities hosting protests.

    “Hagerty appeared Saturday on Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street to react to reports that 2,000 college students were arrested on campuses in their pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Some were charged with misdemeanors such as trespassing, while others stand accused of assaulting police officers. Videos have come out from some of these protesters revealing anti-Semitic themes in their chants and signage.”

    'The problem isn’t these protests in particular, it’s the higher education sector in general, as an incubator of toxic ideas and hatred.'

    Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) agreed with some of his colleagues in the Senate that federal funding for universities allowing antisemitic protesters on its campuses is “a top-of-mind issue.”

    At their core, these Universities are whores, hitting their funding will guide their actions.

    It's not just the Republicans, even some Democrats are ready to move on this.

    'This is a top-of-mind issue for most of the senators. It’s even a bipartisan concern. We’ve got to address this. The campuses have really just let things run wild.”'

    These anti-Semitic faculty are the Stormy Daniels of Academia.

    “The college campuses have become a hotbed of discriminatory behavior, of violence,” Hagerty said. “You’ve seen all of the arrests. The American public are deeply concerned about it. Certainly, those of us in the Senate are concerned about it, too. I think it’s a manifestation of this ‘DEI initiative’ that’s gone way over the top. Now they’ve got these young people being indoctrinated in terms of this notion of someone is either oppressed or an oppressor. … It’s got to come to an end. That’s why you’ve seen the frustration coming from the Senate.”

    The anti-Semitism is rooted in DEI.

    'This follows Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Rick Scott (R-FL), Joni Ernst (R-IA), and others calling for the end to funding for universities that have not done enough to condemn student protesters.'

    Between Israel's world class missile defense and nuclear weapons, they very much have some of the aspects of a super power.

    The ICJ states that you are wrong.

    AND you are wrong about what Israel's war is about.

    No, the ICJ states it is genocide.

    You may pretend that you know better than the ICJ, but the ICJ is the world wide consensus of Israel's actions.
