No one buys Hamas’ reports of the number of dead in this conflict. |
Jews’ ties to this area go back thousands of years. It’s a lie to suggest this is about Europeans. |
Except 97% of the world, and actually even Israel. |
What happened the millions upon millions of dollars in food aid that went into Gaza? Did Hamas steal it and sell it on the black market to raise money to buy more weapons? Or did Hamas keep it for themselves? |
Baghdad Bob comes to mind.... |
Oh really? What do you believe is the actual number of dead non-combatant children, women, and men? Please, oh please, regale us with “the truth”! |
Please just give it up. I’m so tired of the constant wannabe moderation from and by people like you. Let people make their arguments. Let them show what they care about. If its a problem, and you’re an actual functional adult, ignore and report to Jeff. |
Even if it’s 1/2 of the reports (which I doubt)-that’s a whole lot of dead women and children in Gaza. Plus the foreign aid workers who the IDF accidentally killed as they tried to distribute food and medicine. So in your world the lives of 20k Palestinians are worth much less than 1,125 dead Israelis? There is a name for people who think that way…. |
The ethos underlying that response is why you have never understood peace and why you never will. Your existence of endless conflict with others is a biological failsafe to ensure that individuals that think like you cannot amass in sufficient numbers to cause irreparable damage. Thank goodness for that. |
The Pew polling shows the majority of Americans across ages have a negative view of Israel. Not of Jewish people, of the state. Sort of the opposite of Baghdad Bob and your ellipses. It’s legitimately shocking to me how many posters here lack decency and morality when it comes to starved Palestinians and the Israeli blockades. It’s just absolutely insane. I have a child who is 10, and is reading Anne Frank’s diary. How little humans learn over time. Ilan Pappe and Norman Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky and Amnesty International and the UN and a majority of Americans and Spaniards and Irish people and hell, an apparent majority of people in non-Muslim countries, are ALL done with this heinous cruelty. Is the Senator from Maryland a college-aged agitator or AOC, or is he in fact a fairly centrist party politician who has said e-f’ing-nough? Is EVERYONE antisemitic? What do you do now, that your arguments have died on the vine? |
Wars result in unintended civilian casualties. If Hamas hadn't attacked on October 7th, none of these deaths would have happened. Also, Hamas should stop firing missiles into Israel and accept a 2-state solution that has been offered on 5 separate occasions. Stop advocating for the destruction of Israel. It's not going anywhere. If you have a problem with Israel existing, talk to the British about it (oh, and the UN recognizes Israel as a sovereign nation, so there's that). |
Who is this “you” you are talking to? Some strawman? I understand peace just fine. |
+1 Remember, they still refuse to release all the hostages! It’s pure evil. |
The Economist just published an article saying the actual number of dead is actually much much higher. Why? Because Gaza does not have equipment to lift/search the rubble. So there thousands of bodies still buried under all the rubble. |
60 percent of Americans support US support for Israeli military until the hostages are returned. Gallup has higher support for Israel compared with Palestinians. |
