    When I taught AP Gov we had a name for this as it impacted presidential approval ratings. “Rally ‘round the flag” effect

    The unearned arrogance of this post is absolutely unrivaled. :D

    Yes, everyone else who preceded you spanning thousands of years got it wrong, but you, in your oh so divine wisdom, have it right.

    Arrogant and stupid is a poor combination.

    Add evil and you've pretty much hit destructive bingo.

    If you were to ask W. or Netanyahu if they'd trade their bump in the polls so that 9/11 and this attack never happened, both would take that deal in a second.

    What a ridiculous stretch. even for you. You just continuously make stuff up and get called out literally every post, yet you persist.

    I’m surprised many indirectly seem supportive of this attack. I can see having a debate on empathy for Palestinian citizens. Gaza has one of the highest population densities in the world and dirt poor. But what we saw is mass murder and rape of Israeli young civilians. Hamas lowered their automatic weapons and opened up on defenseless crowds. Why is there anyone who won’t call this out as abhorrent and these Hamas soldiers as savages?

    The characterization that Israeli lives lost including women and children... and Israeli women being raped and Israeli children being kidnapped is a "win" for Netanyahu is a slimeball take.

    Really, I seem to recall a post from you asking for people to be put down. That doesn't speak to very high values to me.

    Once again it's an observation based a political reality. Although it should have been obvious neither the original comment nor the analogy with W were intended as criticisms of either the Israeli Prime Minister or the American President and I do agree that both Bibi and W would have traded their political support if it would have undone the terrorist attacks.

    I don’t think anyone is disputing that.

    What I have found really repugnant are the demonstrations in the US in support of the Palestinians. While Palestinians the people and Hamas, the terrorist organization and not synonymous and criticism of the Israeli government with respect to its treatment of Palestinians is valid, the timing of the demonstrations represents at least implicit support/justification for the barbarism of Hamas.

    Sometimes you apparently have to make the obvious "obviouser."

    Another report said 5 Chinese. These murderous animals were obviously in a state of bloodlust, not making a political statement

    And, small rockets.

    As for the Yom Kippur war, the publicly unanswered question is why did Syria stop advancing at the Kinneret (Sea of Galilie) when it had an open path into the heart of Israel?

    I have Palestinian friends and yet can't but agree PITBOSS. It's really heroic and praises Alah for a bunch of thugs to arm themselves up, attack with thousands of Rockets, followed by an assault of over a thousand men and their logistical supporters. Their target? ANYBODY.

    I don't like Benny much, but when he made those comments about the complete demolition of HAMAS at every level, I believe him. I pity the general population of GAZA, HAMAS has brought the Maccabbes down on their own heads with sharp swords. This will get ugly.
