Still nobody directs any blame at Hamas? Amazing willful blindness to the cause of the problems in Gaza. No Hamas, no Palestinian terror = no retaliation for terror which involved the rape, murder, and kidnapping of Israelis. Bleat all you want about past grievances over land, there's no possible justification for genocidal terror directed at Israel.

OP has been braindead for at least 9 months

They are hollow children who have to pretend to feel angry or they will feel nothing at all. They like outrage like Trump likes golf.

Please. Trump has canceled books, Harvard, PBS, cancer research, democrats, veterans, economists, women leaders in the military, military base names, cultural celebrations, think tanks, comedians, Colbert, Taylor Swift, and on and on and on.

The one thing he hasn’t canceled is memories of his BFF Epstein.

Bullshit. We’ve been burned by a decades-long media blackout here in the U.S. of ANY opinion that’s critical of Israel, but now we’re supposed to be open-minded boys and girls and pretend that opinion pieces about Israel from Jewish people don’t drip with obvious conflicts of interest?

Yeah, no thanks.

+100000

It is actually more than decades long. I’m 54 and my entire life has been filled with pro Israel media coverage. Palestinians = terrorists. Israelis = moral and peaceful kibbutzers who also happen to be very strong militarily because they are so brilliant and bad ass (nothing to do with the billions we prop them up with). The land was meant for them, and those evil Arabs hate them for no reason.

Says the party who stormed the Capitol and defecated all over lawmakers offices because they couldn’t accept reality.

I have noticed for awhile that NYT photos have been strangely lacking. This is the NYT, they have access to some of the most compelling news imagery in the world, and yet many of their articles on Gaza show shots from a distance.

Can’t to say this. Today was the first time I saw children crying, suffering very clear. The distant images are intentional. We willl see what happens moving forward.

I don’t care who you are, nobody deserves to be starved to death. That is torture. Actual Hamas terrorists need to be tried and jailed, or killed without pain in a very targeted attack based on lots of credible evidence.

Those skeletal children are all Hamas? Who would’ve thought?

The elementary school age kids who got killed by IDF while waiting in line for drinking water were clearly terrorists.

These people are ghouls. They know these children are innocent and needlessly suffering and dying, but they don’t care. They are genocide apologists. The flip way they talk about them is sickening.

American Jews are causing this tragedy.

the US would not be giving so much support to Israel/Zionism without American Jews driving the financing.

will not find this info from WAPO or nyt

Under the guise of charitable donations, tens of millions of dollars are regularly sent to Israel in the form of "tax-deductible gifts for Jewish settlement in the West Bank and East Jerusalem," the New York Times reported. Much of the money, falsely promoted as donations for educational and religious purposes, often finds its way to funding and purchasing housing for illegal settlers, "as well as guard dogs, bulletproof vests, rifle scopes and vehicles to secure (illegal Jewish) outposts deep in occupied (Palestinian) areas."

Quite often, US money ends up in the Israeli government's coffers under deceptive pretenses. For example, the latest Stimulus Package includes $50 million to fund the Nita M. Lowey Middle East Partnership for Peace Funds, supposedly to provide investments in "people-to-people exchanges and economic cooperation ... between Israelis and Palestinians with the goal of supporting a negotiated and sustainable two-state solution."

Actually, such money serves no particular purpose, since Washington and Tel Aviv endeavor to ensure the demise of a negotiated peace agreement and work hand-in-hand to kill the now defunct two-state solution.
