re: UN Did Not Halve Numbers of Gaza Civilians Killed

[quote]Many argue that mass rape, torture, kidnapping, murders, and sundry atrocities committed against innocent folks were a "response" in-kind to something? You accept that in terms of your "framing" comment?
You cannot be serious.[/quote]

You think it will be “over” when Hamas is dead? You’re incredibly naive at best.
Hamas specifically might not have 100% of the support of the people, but these drastic military engagements and bombings by Israel ma...

[quote]Right now, Israel could stop bombing and we'd see another O7 eventually. Probably with a whole lot of new hate and creative sadism thrown in to try to top this time's stellar effort at horrifying evil. If Hamas stopped this would be over with today. [/quote]

[quote]I don't like the Palestinians. I don't like the Israelis.

Yes it does. Another one of the examples of assumptions you made you know nothing about.

It might not be a genocide, but it’s not a war either. Wars have at least 2 militaries. And they usually have one side at least fighting back. War is not what this is.

I fall into this camp, with a couple of notable distinctions
1. I never use rhetoric about genocides, ethnic cleansing, or apartheid (though apartheid is absolutely a valid claim, I just don’t care).
2. I’m not pro Palestinian
I don’t really think the people you listed are necessarily “p...

So here’s the deal. The numbers were never halved. What happened was the Gaza health ministry (take note, the UN is basing their report on the same Gaza health ministry as they have always been) revised their figures because they just came out with a total of people who’s remains had been identified...

I’ve come to think this is probably the case as well. Also there are many very disturbing financial/market trends floating out there and I think it’s quite likely a serious recession hits over the next few years, and they would prefer to burn Trump at the stake for that rather than sacrifice one of ...
