re: Mearsheimer - Death and Destruction In Gaza.

Wouldn’t ya know it.. an anti Trump guy spreading Hamas propaganda. Hahahaha perfect.

Israeli’s do treat Christian’s poorly.

I had an elderly Israeli Christian couple that lived down the street. Their daughter came to the states and after visiting her here they decided it was better for them to live in the states.


They were happier and the old Jew neighbors were happier. It’s almost as if uniformity is more of a strength than diversity.

My good, you people.

That specific episode, and the high casualty rate, was probably friendly fire. The Apache pilots reported trouble identifying friend or foe.

Oh, so the dead Israelis were mostly killed by Israelis and not the people who paraglided in to massacre them?

This supports the idea of a new tactic. The Palestinians could paraglide in to Israeli festivals then split and watch the Israeli armed forces kill thousands of their own people. From the Palestinian perspective this would be safe and effective.

That’s the way it used to be. The people who fought wars that way decided there SHOULD be rules. Having never experienced that brutality I’ll take their word for it.

There are rare cases where genocide is morally justified.

This is one.

Good heavens, man! Probably you are a flippant fool. If not, you are morally bankrupt. Genocide is never justified. Try to imagine for what you are advocating. Picture the mothers and babies you are advocating to be exterminated.

When I see video from Gaza, all I see is a whole bunch of clean grown men walking around carrying hurt, bloody children.

Israel turned Gaza over to them in 2005, I believe, and since then they’ve made zero progress on building a sustainable economy.

Please tell me that you’re not this naive.

Why is it all these liberal, tree hugging Palestinian sympathizers don't hold Hamas accountable for the civilian deaths that THEY are the ones responsible for.

Get a freaking clue. Hamas and Israel are at war!!! When hamas fires rocket into Israel and forces civilians to remain at the launch site that is on Hamas not Israel.

Palestine voted overwhelmingly to put Hamas in power.

Hamas, without a declaration of war, partnered with Iran, a foreign enemy of Israel to commit acts of total war against Israel, specifically targeting civilians and on video declaring their intent to wipe Israel from the map.

Wipe them from the map. Not my words, theirs.

People here are talking about proportional responses, well the proportional response when someone wipes out your family and entire neighborhood while declaring their intention to erase your entire people is to do so to them before they achieve the means to actually finish the job they started.

When your neighbor is telling everyone who will listen they want you dead and have already tried to achieve that end you are under no moral obligation to sit around making meaningless peace treaties to make liberals at the UN happy while Hamas plots their next attack.

The government of Israel has an obligation to their people to ensure Hamas is removed as a threat permanently. If there is an alternative to wiping Gaza from the map to achieve that end Im all ears, but I’m pretty confident there isn’t.

I haven’t seen anyone happy that innocents are being impacted, least of all me.

The hard reality is that this is a religious war between two tribes who hate each other generationally so we can’t pretend this is going to be solved by talks at the UN. Its only going to be solved one side wins completely or the two sides are somehow separated permanently.

Temporary peace plans only prolong the conflict.
