In response to this post, supporting President Biden and advocating for a ceasefire by Israel:

A ceasefire alone wont ease the terrible pain of Israelis whose loved ones were butchered or abducted by Hamas, or the Palestinians whose families have been shattered by the subsequent war. It wont resolve the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, or answer contentious issues surrounding a two-state solution or continuing settler activity in the West Bank. But what it can do is put a stop to the ongoing bloodshed, help families reunite and allow a surge of humanitarian aid to help desperate, hungry people. It can save lives, here and now - and it can lay the foundation for what will be a long and difficult road to a future in which Israel is secure and at peace with its neighbors, and Palestinians finally have the security, freedom and self-determination that they have sought for so long.
As the tragedy in Gaza has unfolded over the past eight months, weve witnessed an often fierce public debate here at home - and around the world - regarding how the United States should respond. But no matter where each of us stand in these broader debates, an enduring ceasefire is something we should all support - for the sake of Israelis, Palestinians and the world at large. I am deeply encouraged by the steady, tireless efforts of President Biden, Secretary of State Tony Blinken and our diplomatic team to bring this awful war to an end.

He's still bitter because Obama fired him as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014. Like Trump, he undoubtedly carries grudges forever.

(5,552 posts)and yet Flynn will not face consequences. They are outright telling us what they plan to do, yet people still want to close their eyes and pretend nothings changed and people like Flynn are just expressing a "different opinion," than ours.
Unlike the Magats I don't want anyone to throw away their freedom and their souls by physically harming others. I just want those magats calling for violence against Democrats put in jail, to protect the rest of us from the violence they are trying to incite.
I do admit if some of them kick over from bad health habits, however, I won't be crying.

(15,854 posts)He's saying Obama caused war in the Middle East?
If he's talking about Trump's conviction, he sure did not make that clear.
