The gist of it: Israel shouldn't be hitting Hamas that hard because Hamas has absolutely no chance of beating Israel in a straight fight.

Could you imagine Trevor Noah spouting this shite on the radio in 1944 when it became clear that Japan was about to get wiped off the map due to our overwhelming air, land, and sea power throughout the Pacific?

quote:

“In Gaza, Israeli air strikes have reportedly killed 28 people, including 10 children. Over 150 people have been wounded,” he answered. “In Israel, Hamas rockets have killed two people. And this exchange of fire comes after the Israeli assault in and around the al-Aqsa mosque that left more than 600 Palestinian protesters, worshippers and civilians wounded. And a few dozen Israeli police.”

“Personally, I cannot watch that footage and hear those numbers and see a fair fight,” Noah said. Given that Israel has one of the most sophisticated missile defense systems in the world, Noah posed what he called an “honest” question: “If you are in a fight where the other person cannot beat you, how hard should you retaliate when they try to hurt you?”

I don’t know what’s worse, the incredible stupidity or the incredible lack of awareness about the incredible stupidity...

Only real men were allowed on the airwaves in 1944. Not some turd with two first names.

So Israel should just sit there and take it? The lie of disproportionality continues to infect the “elites“ of media.

Is this the clip where within the first minute he makes a crack about white people not having rhythm?

I turned it off before he made his main point because of that.

Red ants won't kill me, but I kill them because if left alone they'll keep attacking me in my yard.

Only fight when you can lose sounds like an awesome defense policy.

This isn't the junior high playground. War is for keeps.

Next time only two people die in something I hope Trevor Noah is one of them.

In fairness, that's why Kyoto in Japan was never bombed because there were people at the highest levels of government who didn't want to destroy the temples in that city. The cities of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Kokura, and Kyoto were mostly left untouched by carpet bombing B-29s so we could study the effects of the atomic bomb. However, Kyoto was soon ruled out as a target due to its historical significance.

Trevor Noah comes from a country that has been practicing genocide for decades. Wonder why he won't discuss that?

Why in the world would you watch the Trevor Noah show? He is even less funny than Colbert.

Once a decision for military action has been made, half measures and confused objectives exact a severe price in the form of a protracted conflict which can cause needless waste of human lives and material resources, a divided nation at home, and defeat. Therefore one of the essential elements of our national military strategy is the ability to rapidly assemble the forces needed to win—the concept of applying decisive force to overwhelm our adversaries and thereby terminate conflicts swiftly with minimum loss of life.
