    leave temporarily. they can have the land back, after it has been cleansed of the subhuman trash and all the weapons and tunnels destroyed. if they choose to stay and support Hamas then they made their choice

    I think I do, though there are some semantics. I tend to lean towards the versions I read in one place yesterday because it makes the most sense, i.e., the Iranians wanted Hamas to harass Israel or something stronger, but had no direct operational planning and certainly did not order the slaughter. The IRGC may be a different issue. And certainly one can argue that generally funding Hamas creates responsibility, but that can be a difficult standard

    sitting this one out? We have our biggest baddest aircraft carrier heading there asap and sending them armaments. Thats saying WE are the super power and if anyone f’s with Israel good chance we’re coming after you. That’s ultimately Biden’s call.

    do you understand that Qatar has agreed to not transfer any money out of those accounts without US Treasury dept approval?

    Sounds like a crime? You mean like slaughtering unarmed civilians, raping women, displaying and desecrating the bodies of their victims, kidnapping and threatening to execute civilian hostages including children and the elderly, or going as far back as 15 years, launching rockets at civilian populated areas with virtually no military value?

    This is exactly correct, and it is why the Israelis didn’t believe Hamas would attack, even though they were training in plain view. The Gaza economy was in its best condition in years and was improving each day. Israel thought this was what the people of Gaza wanted, and they were fooled.

    For the most part it is obvious to many that there is a correlation between one's thoughts about race and CRT and one's thoughts about Israel and geopolitics.

    I think few people on the right understand that these are both connected on a deep philosophical level because they are both under the broad umbrella of critical theory. Critical theory is a philosophy primarily concerned with power structures. Whites, Israel, and Europeans have the power from the CT vantage point. Power is always critiqued. You don't critique those who don't have power, i.e. the Palestinians. It is the same exact approach applied to a different context.

    If you willingly live your life in the CRT Matrix, then you will most likely inhabit the post-colonial matrix too. And just like CRT, one can advocate for post-colonial talking points without formally knowing what it is.

    It also wasn't "sanctioned" money, but he has a habit of just making stuff up as he goes along.

    That would be Hamas. Can't hold every Palistinean responsible.

    Those are all terrible things too, crimes. People keep saying I've never had real violence done to me so I cant understand the Israeli side. Have you ever had your land taken from you with literally no where to go? What are you capable of?

    I'm not prepared to weigh in much because this is something in which I don't have a lot of knowledge about. Also didn't mean to imply that it was only one reason.

    Same time, it caught my eye that Iron Dome didn't cover that particular area and that a bunch of IDF had to be bussed down there. If there was complacency, it would seem it would have to first start with the Israeli govt. And tbh, they seemed to me to have been caught completely off-guard, and if so, we have to ask why?

    If Israel laid down their arms they would be wiped off the map in short order.

    If Hamas and Hezbollah laid down their arms there would be peace.

    That isn't any justification to annihilate an entire country.
