Netanyahu tells Israel ‘We are at war’ after Hamas launches an unprecedented attack, killing at leas

A couple of them must post here.

 

White-shoe law firms tell law schools they won't hire antisemites

Top US law firms are warning law schools that they will not hire graduates who engage in “discrimination or harassment” against Jewish students on campuses that have been roiled by the Israel-Hamas war.

 

Fair point …

 

IDF claims to have surrounded Gaza City. Lot of fighting going on tonight

 

One possible scenario …

 

Legit question
Would Palestine allow any other 1st world country come in and build infrastructure. Build a port. Build a coastal city.. etc.. that country would be allowed to use military to protect its investment. The infrastructure would bring jobs, money, and stability as well as legitimacy to Palestine / Gaza .
Or would it just be a target of Hamas, plundered, hit with rockets for being outsiders, colonization, etc.. Gaza needs to be built into a legit city with its own ports, casinos, economy. But I question if the people in charge or the residents really would allow it.

 

it would be a target if Hamas. Where do you think Hamas got the concrete and infrastructure to build its tunnels and command center? For that which has been imported there.

 

You just responded to an expression of compassion for the civilians. Do you know what a A rhetorical question is?. I have also repeatedly blamed Hamas for using them as human shields.

 

Blaming Hamas is not showing compassion for Palestinian civilians. That’s just an attempt to absolve Israel from any wrongdoing in their response. You’ve posted many many times about the atrocities that have unfolded in Israel. The only video/post I’ve seen you post of what’s happening to Gaza was of a purported fake dead body because its head was moving. Which is to suggest, Hamas is lying and it’s not that bad in Gaza.

I’m not suggesting you feel zero sympathy for the people of Gaza, I’m just saying it hasn’t been reflected in any of your posts (nor in the posts of our resident righties).

 

Then the problem is with your reading comprehension. I don't feel compelled to teach you how to read or explain a rhetorical question to you.

 

What about this question an answer? Do you understand what "too many" means?

 

Part of that May because certainmleft leaning posters have been vocal in claiming Israel is wanting to/participating in genocide/ethnic cleansing/ war crimes.

 

precisely.

 

These posters don’t care about Israel. It’s evident in their posting. Sucks but true. The want Israel to stand down and do nothing that endangers a single civilian life.

 

Most of those posters do not have a solution. What is disturbing is the unwillingness to respond to Hamas' use of human shields. The use of the term "human shields" identifies them as victims.

Instead, the discussion devolves into baiting into a personality war. "Prove you have compassion." It deflects.

 

gimme a break dude - no need to be a dick. Your only showing of compassion towards Palestinian civilians is “who doesn’t care about Palestinian civilians?” which is a frickin terrible rhetorical question because we have seen ample evidence on this thread that many people don’t. How about you just answer the question directly and truthfully. Do you care about the fate of innocent Palestinian civilians? I trust you to be honest.

 

I will answer your question yes. Despite your selective disregard for posting.

That said, I have not seen anyone who does not care about innocent Palestinian civilians here.

So, now you can answer my questions: do you agree that Israel must excise Hamas from Gaza?

If so, what is your solution for Israel to accomplish this while minimizing civilian and Israeli deaths?
