    So half of your post is meaningless? Good. The other half is as well, as it was simply stating the obvious.

    Allies spy on each other. We got caught spying on Israel too via a pentagon leak iirc.

    So what else you got?

    Anyone thinking Israel is at fault for the hostages being executed by the terrorists is either an idiot or an antisemite. No in between.

    Sure. Have Harris make it a part of her platform. Good idea.

    Yes, spying by Israel, if I remember correctly we arrested the guy and he served time in prison. Again, something that happened in Tilly's childhood (he is younger than I am, lol),

    I meant to bring this in yesterday, but did not get the chance. Thanks for posting the video:

    (2) Visegrád 24 on X: "BREAKING: Netanyahu explains his position on a ceasefire and asks what has changed in the past 5 days for some foreign leaders to start blaming Israel for the lack of a ceasefire deal in exchange for hostages to be released https://t.co/dl2qn4CgtT" / X (twitter.com)

    It's despicable that both Biden and Harris continue with their statements to take the US under their leadership down a path of antisemitism and anti-Israel conduct. The democrats continue to stab Israel in the back as the Israeli's are fighting for their existence as a nation.

    Embarrassing that Biden/Harris are pushing Israel here to make a deal with the terrorists. Unfortunately the sheep(look on this board as the perfect example) think it's Israel's fault. Can't fix stupid.

    I would also add that a majority of Israelis supported the ceasefire for hostages deal rejected by Netanyahu
    Poll finds 60% of Israelis back proposed hostages for ceasefire deal

    What don't you understand that Israel has repeatedly accepted a cease fire to release the hostages and that it is Hamas that refuses to accept.

    The pressure to accept the cease fire should be brought against Hamas, not Israel. If you had listened to Netanyahu's response to the Biden and Harris statements, this would be abundantly clear.

    Lol. The terrorists have rejected every deal to date, what makes you think they would've accepted that one? Oh, and if you do believe the terrorists, you ever think they will lie and deceive, you know, because they are terrorists?

    OK, I think I have a bead on this. Democrats (liberals) will take the side of the perceived underdog no matter the circumstances. If Israel were the ones that were poor and had no sophisticated weapons and they attacked and killed un-armed Palestinians then they would be on the side of Israel if Hamas came in and started using their tanks and bombs against un-armed Israelis.

    You only painted half the picture, at best, but yes: if the teams swapped jerseys, I think you would have college campuses asking why we support the Arabs and picketing to stop the killing of innocent Israelis.

    It's almost like it isn't antisemitism at all, it's basic human decency.

    Sure. And if you don't vote for Harris, you're a racist

    There are many in our country who won't vote for Harris because they are racist, just like there are many in this country who are backing the terrorists over Israel. You can keep your head in the sand if you like, but I choose to deal in reality.

    How long has Israel been fighting Palestinian terrorists? Decades. What's the difference between the PLO and Hamas? Nothing. So, why hasn't Israel won the war against these terrorists yet? Because it's not possible. The more Israel fights, the more Palestinians join up with terrorist organizations. It's the hydra problem. Cut off one head, and two more grow to take its place.

    With that said, Israel should have negotiated a cease-fire agreement and release of the hostages. It would have kept the hostages alive. Instead, Israel tried a rescue operation, and resulted in Hamas killing the hostages. Both sides deserve blame.

    This isn't, and has never been a black and white issue. Plenty of wrongs from both sides. And if you believe Israel can actually win the war this time? Then I can't help you until you realize this is the same war Israel has been fighting for generations. If they haven't won it yet, what makes you think this time will be any different?

    You can go see for yourself. I've pointed out some in this and the other Israel thread. You still think everyone isn't racist? Good luck with that.

    I recognize that racism and antisemitism exist.

    I also recognize that people can dislike the actions of someone of a different race or the actions of a Jew and not actually be racist or antisemitic.

    That's because I'm capable of holding two somewhat contradictory thoughts in my head at once.

    You appear incapable of such a thing. Good luck with that.
