Not buying propaganda from either multigraincracker Jun 2024 #1
So you equate Hamas with Israel? PCIntern Jun 2024 #2
I think neither are telling the full truth in this situation sboatcar Jun 2024 #3
Israel is the victim. I'd always take the side of the victim jimfields33 Jun 2024 #5
Gaza is also a victim obamanut2012 Jun 2024 #7
Exactly. multigraincracker Jun 2024 #12
Hamas has victimized the people of Gaza as much as anyone NickB79 Jun 2024 #19
Bingo Cosmocat Jun 2024 #27
And Israel played into it exactly as they saw sboatcar Jun 2024 #32
That's An Odd Statement The Magistrate Jun 2024 #36
I agree, and it was a mistake for the people of gaza to elect them in the first place sboatcar Jun 2024 #38
We Would Seem In Substantial Agreement, Sir The Magistrate Jun 2024 #42
That's the real tragedy here sboatcar Jun 2024 #44
Unfortunately, That Falls Short The Magistrate Jun 2024 #46
No one is calling for it to stop though sboatcar Jun 2024 #49
The attack started the war. What in the world are you speaking to? TheKentuckian Jun 2024 #64
I just wish the leaders in Gaza weren't so keen to sacrifice their people sboatcar Jun 2024 #50
Come on. There hasn't been an election inn15 years. The Gazans didn't elect Hamas to attack on Oct. 7 brush Jun 2024 #79
Are you actually suggesting that just because there hasn't been an election in 15 years, Gazans don't support Hamas? SunSeeker Jun 2024 #87
Like the Gazans have a choice tothrow off Hamas rule. What about Israel, does it have a choice to throw off warmonger... brush Jun 2024 #88
Do you really think Gazans don't support Hamas? Do you think the polls are wrong? SunSeeker Jun 2024 #91
I think the majority of Gazans just want to live in peace, like the majority of Isrealis. brush Jun 2024 #92
Gazans were not asked to protest Hamas, they were anonymously asked if they support Hamas SunSeeker Jun 2024 #93
My answer is the same. IMO you put too much faith in easily manipulated polls. brush Jun 2024 #94
And yet they're willing to send their boys to die for Hamas and live among Hamas during war. SunSeeker Jun 2024 #95
What are you talking about? There are 2.3 million Gazans. Hamas forces are maybe 30k. brush Jun 2024 #96
WTF. We're talking about Hamas supporters, not Hamas forces. SunSeeker Jun 2024 #98
Well math is certainly not your strong point. Like I said, 30k Hamas forces is maybe 1 percent... brush Jun 2024 #101
My math is fine. Making a point is not your strong suit. SunSeeker Jun 2024 #103
Stop the hate. Most people want to live in peace...on both sides. Try it yourself. brush Jun 2024 #105
"Stop the hate. ... Try it yourself" What hate? betsuni Jun 2024 #106
Do you even recognize impartiality when it's right in your face? brush Jun 2024 #107
Israel is ForgedCrank Jun 2024 #83
So that justifies killing so many civilians? sboatcar Jun 2024 #31
There are 30 some thousand dead in Gaza, 1200 in Israel. Way more victims in the collective punishment inGaza. brush Jun 2024 #78
I'll tell you something...you're right PCIntern Jun 2024 #8
Well, you and I both know, it wouldn't have mattered. Behind the Aegis Jun 2024 #22
Horrifyingly true. PCIntern Jun 2024 #23
I agree, and that was awful, but how many gazan civilians does that justify killing? sboatcar Jun 2024 #33
Hamas uses Palestinians to shield them. jimfields33 Jun 2024 #51
US enid602 Jun 2024 #77
What kind of shield does Uncle Sam make? Certainly not a human shield. Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #84
The best kind of shield enid602 Jun 2024 #97
And You Would Be Dead Wrong The Magistrate Jun 2024 #100
Do you see no difference between an unwilling human shielding an agressor and a willing ally Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #102
'willing ally' enid602 Jun 2024 #104
You must be joking. Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #108
One word enid602 Jun 2024 #110
If this is the punchline, I prefer The Aristocrats jokes Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #111
It's A Shame When A Good Python Fan Goes To The Bad, Eh? The Magistrate Jun 2024 #112

Oh, Do, Please, Go On About The U.S. Being Held Captive By Israel The Magistrate Jun 2024 #109

On the contrary FBaggins Jun 2024 #26
I am talking about international courts holding him responsible for the crime of genocide Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #29
Right? Who's more in the wrong here? sboatcar Jun 2024 #34
If I'm not mistaken, Sinwar isn't the one killing thousands of civilians sboatcar Jun 2024 #43
Sinwar confessed to his intent to cause all the civilian deaths and to cause them. Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #47
Gotcha, if you ask someone to commit a crime, then the person who actually commits it isn't guilty? sboatcar Jun 2024 #48
No, you didn't get me. Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #55
I'm still not sure that killing civilians is justifiable homicide sboatcar Jun 2024 #57
Depends on the circumstances and the law, doesn't it? Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #58
