Looks like a new Gaza war has started

Just pointing out that we are still waiting for a link to one of the many thousands of videos the Hamas supporters in this thread say exist that show Israelis desecrating the naked corpse of a likely-raped young Palestinian woman, while other Israelis spit on the assaulted corpse and cheer on.

We’ve been told there are thousands of such videos, but one link will do. Thanks!

And Israel deliberately builds settlements with kids and families in Palestinian areas hoping to provoke violence. Lots of tit for tat. Neither side is blameless here and acting like Israel is some sort of innocent victim just continues the never ending cycle.
At least you admit the presence of Jews makes Palestinians violent . Nice self own


When they are stealing what little land the Palestinians have it’s not too surprising.

Sorry, netayahu has deliberately provoked this to whip up nationalism and consolidate his power. The Israelis are getting what they voted for. I frankly don’t really care about either side too much. I just want the US to stay out of it. Let these horrible people kill each other.


Isn't modern day Palestine what was formerly Israel? (ancient Israel).


Depends which god you worship and which religious book you read.

Every faith seemingly claims Jerusalem as their own.

Maybe we just take it away from everyone?

Turn it into a religious Disney Worldesque theme park. Commercialize it like colonial Williamsburg by making it a living museum/attraction.

It’s surprising they don’t want millions of people with no education, skills, jobs, or money who have been radicalized by decades of indiscriminate violence? Shocking.

You’ll never see it.

Why?

It doesn’t exist.

Why?

Because Israelis are civilized people. Educated.

Go do some research on why the many neighboring Arab nations have refused to welcome Palestinians for the last several decades.

Hint: nobody invites crackheads to the bbq.

It’s a combination of 9/11 and January 6. Multiple intelligence failures, a political elite so focused on its stupid domestic infighting, wholly unprepared defense professionals, etc.

Israel is a very small country - only 10m people. So the fact that there will likely be at least 1000 Israeli civilian deaths + 5000+ casualties means that pretty much every Israeli personally knows someone killed, seriously injured, or kidnapped. It’s going to affect the national psyche for 2-3 generations.


Bookmark this: We are going to find out that our intel agencies heard what they will call 'chatter' and dismissed it because 'it didn't sound serious'.

#NotJournalism.


I can’t imagine any good Palestinian person volunteering to go on cnn to defend the Hamas attack or engage in whataboutism to justify an act of terror. And cnn obviously won’t bring Hamas sympathizers on tv. And why should they?

This is indefensible.

I think you might want to distinguish the past human rights abuses, land grab, etc. from what Hamas just did. They kidnapped women and children. They slaughtered a German tourist. Separate the past from the present and get on the right side of history.


The past IS the present. The past is happening. It never stopped. Israel doesn't get to say "nothing we did up until this point matters."


Disagree.

Your line of thinking seemingly absolves Bin Laden and the 9/11 terrorists by placing shared responsibility (at best) on the US for prior action in the Middle East. And that’s obviously ridiculous, right?

Here’s what is going to happen: all the Free Palestine people in the US, Europe, and other civilized nations will realize the atrocities committed by Hamas against women and children simply can’t be justified. They’ll quietly retreat. The only people voicing support for Hamas and Palestine will be terrorists: Hezbollah, Taliban, and religious extremists who clearly aren’t defending human rights.


I am sorry to be the one to tell you but the world doesn't feel nearly as much outrage about this as you think.


Just wait until more videos come out. Have you seen the kidnapped civilians? The kids? The young girls?

People will be outraged.


They ARE seeing them, and they're NOT outraged. Every comment section I see under one of these videos is 90% pro-Hamas/anti-Israel.


Are they Arabs? Muslims?

Figures. It’s a numbers game and they are everywhere.

But they don’t wield power…which is why they resort to terror.


Well it's online so I don't know. But all the white people I know are anti-Israel.


Only the ones who watch msnbc


No, pretty much all of them. My peer group is highly educated, very progressive and very self-loathing, and completely buy into the notion that Israel is a white, colonialist, super rich apartheid country.


Your peers are being kind, based on the comments I am reading on the Jerusalem Post I’d call the Israeli Jews savages.


The “savages” are the ones who kidnapped a little boy, and brought him into Gaza. Imagine the night he is having, and hang your head in shame:

Don’t care. How many Palestinian boys have been kidnapped, tortured and killed by the IDF? Israel regularly kidnaps children and tortures them in military prisons. You should actually kill yourself for thinking anyone needs to care about dead Israeli settlers. Israelis only understand violence.


Hamas sent their brightest light to engage with us on DCUM tonight?


+1 And it shows the thinking of some of the DCUM posters who post here.

They got driven from New Jersey to Pennsylvania basically. Then orders are only state drawn like every border in the world. Every single country in the world was created by displacing the original people who lived there or absorbing them. The British btw absorbed and expelled into and from israel the people who were living there on farms. They could have created states and made Israel bigger by now. If only.


So if your home and land was taken from you with no compensation, and then you were forced to flee to a neighboring state where you were locked in and couldn’t get out and had no job, you’d be cool with that? No biggie right?


Ask yourself why the many Arab nations haven’t stepped in to welcome their Muslim brothers and sisters into their countries. There’s a reason. Speaks volumes about Arabs and Muslims: Palestinians and the neighboring and farther flung Arab nations.

It’s a real shame the Middle East never evolved to a tolerant melting pot like the US. Had they evolved beyond religious extremism and ethnic divide the region would be safer and more prosperous.

Their rigid cultural norms have held them back. Too bad we can’t flip a switch and help them evolve.

I see this argument every now and then, that the neighboring nations must welcome palestinians because they practice the same religion.
Palestinians don’t all want to leave
Just because someone in another country has your religion doesn’t mean you owe them something

I think we all know that the palestinians are not going to disappear. Israel has to accept that

Expelling legal inhabitants into settlements just because they don’t practice your religion is not the way forward

Gaza has 500 dead and 2000 wounded. Electricity and supply of goods is halted
They will starve, but I do not know if they would be able to give much resistence anyway

And yet people with very similar circumstances (lack of education, skills, jobs, money, etc who suffered trauma and are fleeing violence) are welcomed across our southern border and quickly assimilate in America.

What’s the difference?

They aren’t religious extremists. They are just run of the mill Christians.

If we sent latino immigrants to Palestine they would quickly build a functional civilization as long as someone competent was in charge to establish a democratic government (sadly, central and South America aren’t known for that).

They are a desperate people. Doesn't make them less barbaric and totally in the wrong but it is predictable. Jews not really helping themselves. Blame game feeds cycle of violence.


+1000. Just cut of US aid and let these miserable people fight it out. We have no interests there.

But white lefties believe it is Israel who doesn’t allow Palestinians to create a democratic prosperous civilized just society!

No educated person would argue that the kingdom of Israel never existed. The dispute is who actually has the rights to historic lands, and how far back you look to establish a claim. This isn’t about people reading too much into “fairy tales” as you imply: it’s about groups of people who have had control over parts of that region at different times in history. If this were all a “fairy tale” there would be no argument about who belongs there.

You have got to be kidding.
Anyone who compares this atrocity to Jan. 6 is pushing an agenda. It is not comparable. At all.


Well that podium WAS uprighted by one of the infiltrating terrorists on the 6th. And someone sat in Pelosi's chair. HORROR!
