I know this is dropping like a rock... egduj Feb 2024 #1

The fact that they cannot even condemn it, including some members of Congress, is a disgrace. JohnSJ Feb 2024 #2

Anyone who denies civilian deaths and atrocities on ANY side, has a political agenda JohnSJ Feb 2024 #6

Hmmm, so you would agree with the estimimate of near 30, 000 dead Palestinians, mostly women and children? TeamProg Feb 2024 #15

30,000 dead, with a substantial portion being Hamas fighters NickB79 Feb 2024 #19

So since Hamas had 40000 members Diraven Feb 2024 #32

Nobody is encouraging that sort of outcome Hekate Feb 2024 #50

Just doing the math Diraven Feb 2024 #61

Have not seen that -- but have seen the flip side from Hamas apologists, altho not too recently Hekate Feb 2024 #62

What a vile and horrible thing to say. SoFlaBro Feb 2024 #74

I agree Palestinian civilians were killed JohnSJ Feb 2024 #24

History will not be kind. TeamProg Feb 2024 #27

But you deny that nearly 30,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel's assaults since 10/7. TeamProg Feb 2024 #36

Your thoughtful reasoning is appreciated, Magistrate Hekate Feb 2024 #91

I got your number too buddy and where your sympathies lie, and it isn't just JohnSJ Feb 2024 #41

You've got the wrong number, buddy. I have called Hamas' doings as 'atrocities', but myself, and apparently much of the TeamProg Feb 2024 #47

That is what this thread is about, but you ignore that in this thread. You want to expand on JohnSJ Feb 2024 #52

Brushing the rape and endless Hamas fuckery of killing babies is fucking disgusting. SoFlaBro Feb 2024 #77

Actually, it's not meant to be "justice". It's meant to be war. It's meant to defeat Hamas * Oopsie Daisy Feb 2024 #96

Many of these deaths are due to Hamas using civilians as human shields LetMyPeopleVote Feb 2024 #98

Voting 'Present' is just that, neither supporting nor opposing. It could be a matter of facts. Either way: TeamProg Feb 2024 #14

You have said you condemn Hamas' atrocities TexasDem69 Feb 2024 #66

It Is Odd, Sir The Magistrate Feb 2024 #70

Thank you, Cha. sheshe2 Feb 2024 #60

That is untrue, she voted "present", not "No". Please be accurate with the info you share. TeamProg Feb 2024 #29

Which is just as good as a no. MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2024 #53

Thank you. sheshe2 Feb 2024 #59

Thanks.. Cha Feb 2024 #83

Voting present is the same as voting no, IMHO. sheshe2 Feb 2024 #54

She didn't vote yes to condemn the rape and mutilation then there are some here trying to fucking justify that ugly vote SoFlaBro Feb 2024 #80

Terrible. Elessar Zappa Feb 2024 #7

That is just tempering the adulation and celebration TheKentuckian Feb 2024 #9

I actually cannot figure out the thrust of your comment. Care to parse it a bit? Hekate Feb 2024 #25

The excuses for the barbarians and handwaiving their vile shit are just cover for cheerleading their actions TheKentuckian Feb 2024 #31

Yes, thank you Hekate Feb 2024 #35

Excuses for it? Huh? Where? Please elaborate. TeamProg Feb 2024 #30

Any pushback on using this as justification Diraven Feb 2024 #38

Not just here xmas74 Feb 2024 #82

What is numerous? And this is odd, on "IDF bases." Hamas was committing atrocities on IDF bases? TeamProg Feb 2024 #13

On Oct 7, Hamas attacked several IDF bases close to the border NickB79 Feb 2024 #16
