Political Discussion
Somehow there were luxury hotels in Gaza, a luxury mall, a waterpark...so much for a prison. Too bad Hamas bought rockets instead of funding more development. |
Are you crazy? People living in Gaza were not *incarcerated*! The media has been full of stories of business owners and homeowners who've lost what they'd worked so hard to build. Do you think someone who's incarcerated also built a thriving business, and owned a home, and had a family? It's possible to support Palestinians without making yourselves sound like you don't believe in anything. |
They overcame a land, sea and air blockade to build all of that? With a belligerent neighbor hellbent on their genocide? Sounds like the jury is in on which side actually makes a desert bloom, eh? |
| Biden can go f*** himself! This is all on him and may he burn in hell forever. |
THIS. YES. |
For the record, I support Palestinians who are weary and just want to live in peace already, and are prepared to accept compromise. And I support Israelis who want the same thing, and are prepared to accept compromise, too - and more of a compromise than the Palestinians, obviously, to be completely up front about it. Israel will have to give far more than the Palestinians will have to give, given the fact that Israel has already unilaterally taken so much. As for everyone else, no quarter. Not literally, of course, except for Bibi's government, IDF personnel who have intentionally committed war crimes, Hamas militia members, and other terrorist militia groups in the region. All of those exceptions deserve no quarter in the literal sense. But anyone else on either side of this conflict (including those without direct, personal interest) who cannot make mental room for a large swath of the other side continuing to exist in their view of the future? They deserve to be sidelined in these discussions. Their voice is irrelevant. |
| Everyone's voice here is irrelevant. The people picking up guns to further their cause on either side...not so much. |
NP. Are you joking? Israel takes responsibility for its mistakes. When has Hamas EVER taken responsibility?? They have failed to give Gazans a better life. They never took responsibility for the lies they told about the misfired terrorist rocket that hit Al-Shifa hospital in October. They have never taken responsibility for USING A HOSPITAL as their command center and their people as human shields. And Hamas has certainly never taken responsibility for the inhumane, unspeakable atrocities they committed on Oct. 7th. Nope, Hamas in its propaganda and rhetoric pushes ALL responsibility for the suffering of Palestinians onto Israel - as well as all Jews and Americans. Hamas is “always innocent,” always the “victims” at the mercy of everyone else. It’s performative helplessness which allows Hamas to play the perpetual victims - when in fact, they are a murderous gang of thugs and losers. Hamas intentionally killed 1,200 people in one day. You will never, ever hear Hamas take responsibility for anything. I hope Israel takes out every last one of them. |
We'll see in November how some voice are relevant. Shocked and saddened to utter the words, but Joe did this to himself. Geriatric realities aside, he dug his own political grave on this one. And to be honest, with the general scumbaggery (if not criminality) that's emerged regarding his son in the past 3 - 4 years, I wouldn't expect anyone but maybe Jill to emerge relatively unscathed from this hurricane of political self-destruction. |
Israel is doing a great job of recruiting for Hamas. Congratulations, job well done. |
This is fascinating! Nearly every single utterance reflects back on Israel. When has Israel EVER taken responsibility?? They have failed to give or allow the Palestinians to create a better life once theirs was taken from them. They never took responsibility for the lies they told about the intentional IDF bomb that hit Al-Shifa hospital in October. They have never taken responsibility for failing to provide more than amateur hour, laughable false evidence to "prove" that Hamas was USING A HOSPITAL as their command center and their people as human shields. And Israel has certainly never taken responsibility for the inhumane, unspeakable atrocities they committed OVER THE PAST 75 YEARS. Nope, Israel in its propaganda and rhetoric pushes "ALL" responsibility for the suffering of Israels onto Palestinians - as well as all Arabs and humane people in Americans. Israel is “always innocent,” always the “victims” at the mercy of everyone else. It’s performative helplessness which allows Israel to play the perpetual victims - when in fact, they are a murderous gang of thugs and losers. Israel is intentionally killing 1,200 people about every 3 - 4 days You will never, ever hear Israel take responsibility for anything. I don't hope Hamas takes out every last one of them, but I sure hope that Israel and its supporters receive the karma headed their way Too easy. Wrote itself, because it's the truth. |
Yes, they really should have just rolled over after the Oct. 7 massacre and capitulated to Hamas - as you would have preferred. Glad they don’t take advice from idiots. DP |
Too easy. Wrote itself, because it's the truth. DP. The fact that you’re only capable of cutting and pasting (badly) only underscores the complete lack of intelligence and critical thinking among Hamas supporters. What a load of propaganda and lies. |
It sounds like you're not discerning between Hamas and regular Palestinians. If that's the case, I hope you'll rethink that troubling statement. But, that's also wherein the problem lies. Israel went on this bombing campaign to root out Hamas and rescue the hostages. We haven't seen any data about successful that's been on the Hamas front. I know they rescued a couple of hostages, but they also killed some. However, we know that the campaign has killed and wounded a staggering amount of Palestinians and some foreigners. An unthinkable amount. So many women and children. Their restrictions have also contributed to mass starvation, which anyone would agree is abjectly cruel and unusual. I'm not sure their justification at this point holds, probably because it's not like Hamas wear an H to clearly identify themselves. I wish Israel would rely on actual strategy and use data. Alas, it seems like they really do want to kill every last Palestinian and the US is letting them. |
You are an idiot for thinking that there were only to options for Israel to take following 10/7 - either capitulate or proceed on a genocidal march through Gaza. Either Israel is so stupid that they can't think of ways to take down Hamas without slaughtering thousands of babies and bringing on a famine or they are so damn incompetent that they could not do otherwise. Oh sorry, one more option, they want to eliminate as many Palestinians as possible and are using 10/7 as a pretext for doing so. |
