How would they make it a tourist destination, Einstein? No airport, no travel, full blockade? I think they've done pretty well in developing Gaza given the hand they were dealt. Gaza is very urbanized despite lacking access to trade or resources. |
Palestinians have the right to use violence to resist foreign occupation. However your comment is showing a lack of regard for the violent genocide and ethnic cleaning of Palestinians by Israel. Israel is committing crimes against humanity, that govt is a violent apartheid regime. |
They could use the equipment they used for tunnels, Einstein! They sure got plenty of infrastructure development assistance over the years, as evidenced by their underground construction projects, Einstein. |
Israel murdered at least 50,000 Gazans. Do people expect the Palestinians to be grateful to Israel? Not very realistic. |
Look Israel will only last as long as there is a US. The US is looking like it will break up with the reelection of Trump. Israel had a huge role in Trump’s election.
People will remember this. |

Notably absent in your continual scurrilous antisemitic diatribes is any alternative explanation for how Israel should have responded to Oct. 7. It would seem that in lieu of vituperative attacks on the victims, you could at least offer your insights into what a reasonable reaction would have been to the Palestinian terror attacks of Oct. 7, keeping in mind the continuing attacks by Hamas thereafter until they were forced to capitulate and release the hostages. That abject surrender occurred only after Gaza was largely flattened, and civilian support for Hamas eroded, all thanks to the retaliatory actions of the IDF. We can be confident that absent those retaliatory actions, the living hostages would still be held by the barbarians who took them. Barbarians who, not incidentally, are Palestinian. So spare us your sniveling. |
What they should remember is that the payback for terrorism is annihilation, a lesson seemingly never learned no matter how often it has to be taught in Gaza or elsewhere. |
When you argue that terrorism is a reasonable activity, you necessarily argue that violence is the way to resolve conflict. That being so, the violent response to terrorism is equally valid, and so then are the consequences for the terrorists and the civilians they hide behind. You can't have it both ways, with terror being fine on one side, but a forceful response being indefensible. The immorality of your argument aside, it's also a ringing endorsement of futility. The terrorists keep losing and civilians keep suffering, day after day, year after year, decade after decade, and there's no reason to think that will ever change. According to you, the correct response to this history is to double down and keep it up until more people die. That's a strange vision for a better world. |
They think what all of the people who didn't even wait a day to insist on a ceasefire think - that Israel should have responded by mass suiciding everyone who wasn't murdered by Hamas, and simply giving Israel over to Palestinians. Or I guess whoever else wants to be there, so long as they aren't Jews. I don't think the CEASEFIRE NOW people really gave that part much thought. |
Yet you and the pro Israeli crowd justify terrorism and genocide. Let’s face it. Israel is nothing more than religious extremists who see genocide as the way forward. This is like the Nazis blaming the Jews for the holocaust. |
Spoken like a true Nazi. Your racism and murderous sentiments are disturbing. How would you feel if someone turned that around and applied it to the racists who tortured Palestinian captives in Israeli custody or the IDF soldier who shot a 10-year-old boy in the back for no particular reason and told his father he hoped the child would die? |
So only Israeli victims deserve sympathy? You can snivel only for them? What about the way the "barbarians" in Israel take Palestinians, including children, captive with complete impunity and lock them up indefinitely without charges? And rape and torture them in custody, sometimes to death? What about the 15,000 indigenous Palestinians murdered by Zionist terrorists during the Nakba? What about the 750,000 indigenous Palestinians whose land, homes, and livelihoods were stolen during the Nakba and who were ethnically cleansed into neighboring countries with just the clothes on their backs? What about the settler attacks and land theft in the West Bank by racist, murderous religious fundamentalists with king-sized senses of entitlement? We're looking at decades of genocide by barbarians who, not incidentally, are Zionists. |
I mean a ceasefire in exchange for hostages was pretty much on table from day 1 and that’s what the hostages’ families wanted but Netanyahu wanted another war because the only way he stays in power is by prolonging war, and a good chunk of his coalition wants to destroy/ethnically cleanse Gaza. That was a deliberate choice |
