I'm not attacking you with what I'm about to say but here goes. You question anything and everything that comes from our government but accept the Israeli government statistics and numbers. I don't get that. To this day, there is no proof of the rapings and baby beheadings. I am skeptical to say the least.
Abe, im not defending the Israeli government. And im certainly not defending the 26,000 Palestinians killed. I don't trust news media or government. Ours, theirs ....anyone's.
I don't know if women were raped or babies were killed. I don't know whether or not any of that happened. Ive never lived in Israel or Palestine.... and I know I have no more knowledge because I choose to believe the news source that aligns with my opinion as opposed to the source that contradicts my beliefs.
And I don't know what the numbers are. Generally I'm skeptical of anything reported by MSM, especially from people who monopolize 'victimhood.'
But...
What I'm reasonably sure of is there has been an imense loss of innocent life. The notion that "only" 1200 people were murdered and its ok because 400 of them were military and/or cops , I personally find offensive. What is the magic number of dead bodies? That one is allowed to take issue with? According to Proudvirgin the number is somwhere between 1200 and 26000.
It's hard for most to fathom 1 or 2 or 5 dead bodies. I find it absurd to be concerned with the "misinformation" of the number of rotting corpses because it wasn't "thousands" it was 1,200 (talk about missing the point)and casually dismiss it from behind the safety of my computer screen.
