Catching up on all... responding to Matt's posts...
When was Palestine’s 9-11, Ron? Was it in 2008, where 899 Palestinians were killed? Was it 2009, where 1,066 were killed? What about in 2014, where 2,329 of them were butchered? 2021, where 349 were killed? 2022, where 191 were killed? Sorry, Ron, I am struggling to place all of the six and a half thousand deaths since 2008, the vast majority of them civilian, at the hands of an evil regime which is based on the principle of discrimination.
Each of these years, pretty sure started when Hamas attacked and fired into Israel, and Israel fought back. Fire rockets from a school, a hospital, a place where Palestinians are, you get fired back. Hamas loves killing the Palestinian people. But then again, this is 2023. Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis, with proof that they targeted children, elderly, people at a peace music festival. With cause comes reaction. Hamas needs to be removed from Gaza, and since the leadership is in Qatar (Qatar is afraid of Iran since they dont think USA and others will defend them if attacked).
expect the Palestinians to make peace with Israel when they live under exile and military occupation, with no prospect for the recognition of their basic rights. Do you really think Israel will ever accept an independent Palestinian state?
Yes, they can and will one day. But not when you have a group like Hamas killing the Palestinian people if they want peace. Palestinians want peace, they don't care about the crazy right wing Islamic religions, they want to live like anyone else. But when Palestinian friends say anything anywhere, they or their families will get killed. Simple as that. There is no freedom in Gaza, by Hamas. Not by Israel. Funny, always blame Israel. Do you see Egypt, Jordan, and others want to help Hamas. They do not want to. They want to help the Palestinians, not Hamas. Even Egpyt is bring their military to the Southern border of Gaza to prevent Hamas from leaving.
So Hamas has "always said their goal is the destruction of Israel." And Israel will now "root out" the "terrorist group" from Gaza?
Yes. If Hamas has said just ONCE, they want peace, and not the complete destruction of Israel, there would of been peace a long time ago.
The Hamas charter, irrelevant and written by a small group of men in the 1980s
To you, a racist, of course. To others who live is the realization that this group wants to destroy and kill you, and is in power, it is very important.
Israel has only ever sought to maintain the situation they created, which was to keep Gaza separate from the West Bank
Tell that to Fatah, the ruling party of the West Bank. Most of them were killed and were forced to leave Gaza. Since the first election of Hamas, no one dared to even try, or they will be killed. Remember, Hamass is there for the destruction of Israel, not to help the Palestinian people. What government warned their people not to leave their houses or they will get killed by Hamas. Wow.
Only in the U.S. will you find 350 lb. fatass American Jews like yourself who have fallen victim to years of brainwashing and permabulking.
By the way, I am at 240 pounds, so suck it! As for brainwashing, nah. I am a realist. You are a propagandist. Take a quote from a few out of 9 million and pretend it is relevant.
My autism basically makes it impossible for me to lie, and I despise liars. If it’s in the media, it must be true. It is remarkable how stupid you all are. If you are wondering why I have no interest speaking to anyone ever again, this is why.
You lie all the time, read one bullcrap and pretend it is true, and hide behind the facts of other sides. Simple as that. You are a racist, have always been, and you cannot evolve as the world is changing around you. You can only take one side of something and run with that. I get it. Why learn when hate is the way. One day you will regret it, when you will need to atone to someone. Over the years, I have had many people change as they get older and realize they don't know everything in our world (myself included) and become wiser. Stop reading one side and read all sides to learn. As for not wanting to speak to anyone every again, you need to take meds. There are a lot of good people out there! All religions, all races. Treat each person like someone with respect, not hatred against a race or religion.
With all due respect, Hamas shouldn't have been able to pull off what I call the shitiest attack ever....shooting what I call a bunch bottle rockets and coming in on para-gliders, motorcycles, and trucks as if it was Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. A complete and utter failure of Israeli Intellegence. How the fuck this happenned is no longer important.
This is the NUMBER ONE question for any Israeli. WTF happened. How did they miss this. This is truly sad. BUT, right now is not the time to answer that, and trust me, there will be people fired, and hearings and so on on this. Right now, there is one move, to take out Hamas' military capabilities in Gaza so no more rockets will ever be fired, and bring upon a united government in the West Bank and Gaza that truly wants the Palestinian people to prosper.
If Israel is going to take the Gaza Strip then I say they should take the whole field of Palestine instead of pussy footing around. No more phone calls letting them know they are going to drop bomb
No, they need to tell the people that they are going to go in, they are going to take the tunnels, they are going to go after Hamas, whose bunker and HQ is under the Gaza Hospital and neighboring school and mosque. Hamas is the group who are killing Palestinians in Gaza. So yes, they need to evacuate.
