    They arent at war with Iran. If someone attacked one of our consulates with military personnel in it, I doubt you'd be like "fair play, caught us slippin." If Israel can just kill whoever they want, why do we have problems with Putin? Its the same behavior.

    How many times are you going to move the goalposts? Now you're down to hypotheticals? In this new argument you're making, is the US over there actively supporting terrorists?

    I am not sure what you are reading. I mostly have just read in this thread vs post but it is clearly a struggle with whether "the ends justifies the means". Universal condemnation for Hamas has been consistent in this thread

    We definitely support terrorism over there and around the world, so I guess you agree our personnel are fair targets of those who are targeted by our violence. But again, I doubt you will not say its not an act of war if it were to happen.

    We are supporting the side fighting the terrorists. When I see "we", I'm talking about the US. You are clearly supporting the terrorists.

    I see how it works, the US and Israel can just call someone a terrorist and its ok to kill them. Which is how terrorists and rogue states think. We arent any different than the countries we declare our enemies.

    I think his point, which keeps going over your head, is we can no longer say there is a non-terrorist side.

    Aside from the fact that Israel’s govt/military is borderline committing genocide at this point, when you start blowing up high profile aid workers like Chef Andres crew or Doctors Without Borders… it’s a sign at minimum of military incompetence… or worse case a disregard for who or where they are hitting.

    The world kitchen people coordinated their movements with IDF and were operating in a non-active zone for hostilities. And they still got targeted. Hard to say its not intentional.

    Literally nothing you said was true. How about demanding the real terrorists(Hamas for those who can't understand) release all hostages and then let's talk cease fire. Until then keep eliminating Hamas.

    Chef Andres is Hamas and not targeting his chefs is conditioned on hostage releases!?

    That’s… a take.

    Chef Andres dying is a terrible tragedy but let's not kid ourselves why he was there in the first place. Maybe if Hamas didn't kill 1,200+ innocent Israelis and take hundreds of hostages this would've never happened.

    Andres himself didn’t die (unless I missed something), but 5 of his people did.

    Why were they there? Literally what they do is supply food to areas where hunger is an issue. Often in refugee camps near war zones. I assume in most conflicts they trust the professional military won’t bomb a refugee camp! In this case, bad assumption.

    The Israeli’s are creating starvation conditions in GAZA. They are trying to block aid. I would like to believe this was incompetence, but there have already been several instances of them directing civilians to “safe zones” before bombing a target in said green zone. How many times do they get to do that? What if this was more of a hit, to warn others not to try to get aid into Gaza (something we know the Netanyahu govt is against)? If that were so, it would put the Israeli government in league with Hamas as a terrorist govt. Which is why I said I prefer to hope it is “just” more incompetence, the only alternative is far worse.

    They aren't blocking aid trucks. I advise you to stop reading far left anti-sematic news feeds. So now you are accusing Israel of doing it on purpose without any proof. Bold move Cotton.

    Umm… yes they have been blocking aid trucks. Only occasionally letting insufficient numbers through. I guess to their “credit” at least they haven’t fired on any of the U.S. or allied planes dropping food aid. I guess they see that as more dangerous than bombing civilian chefs.

    See, I don't have a lot of compassion for the terrrorists who refuse to surrender and refuse to release the hostages. And let's not forget the Palestinians overwhelmingly support their Govt. Some people make terrible choices and they have to live with those choices. Again, I'd maybe turn off MSNBC.

    Palestinians support Hamas decision to go to war with Israel, survey suggests, with no political solution on horizon | CNN
