Actually he’s living in the 19th century. The ‘80’s rhetoric is just a facade.

"Sorry you were offended."

Yes, what a stupid "apology!"

Don't know if this belongs here.

But it asks for a reaction and it's foul.

(for some reason the video won't play, but you get the idea)

And the response from the Premier of Ontario. (I think that they are from different parties)

@taiwan_girl

Yes, two very different Parties.

I was reading about Rashida Tlaib's non-reaction to the (now verified - Biden's seen pictures, he claims) killed babies. After her weeping at a hearing over children at the border being separated, she had nothing to say when asked about Israel.

Commenting on the Palestinian flag outside her office, Steny Hoyer said, "Well I have a Danish flag in my home and Ukrainian flag on my lapel pin."

Yeah, because those Ukrainian and Danish terrorists are just like the animals in Gaza.

Funny how the outrage over children being abused is not about the children being abused, but situational based on who's doing the abusing.

That’s a follow and shared as well. There’s so much crap out there.

BTW, the Biden Whitehouse walked back the statement about the dead baby pics.

Wait. Biden said he SAW the pictures.

Was he lying or senile?

Actually a) and b) are options.

Holy crap, one of my regular follows (and one of @George-K s I believe) has gone batshit crazy.

And too much more…

It doesn't seem to be included on the menu of mainstream acceptable reactions to worry about both Israel and Gaza civilian collateral damage. Maybe that worry doesn't admit to an obvious path forward, but the obvious path forward isn't obviously helpful either, beyond revenge.

I've seen several of her tweets. Makes me wonder.

The problem is the way Hamas uses the civilians as shields, building and installing missile batteries in hospitals, schools, apartment buildings, etc… So does Israel blow up those installations knowing that innocent civilians may get injured or killed? Or do they allow those batteries to continue to fire on Israeli innocents?

Their roof knocking approach is (IMO) a remarkably reserved approach. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_knocking And the most humanitarian way of dealing with it that I can think of.

There has been a lot of confusion over the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. A lot of misinformation on both sides and a lot of evil acts on both sides. But at the end of the day, you have one side that sends non explosive shells to warn civilians of what’s coming next, and in the other you have a side that is filming themselves raping dead teenage girls and posting it on Social Media. You have a side that purposefully cut infants throats.

No, there is a tumor on humanity that needs to be excised. It’s horrible that there is healthy tissue around that tumor that will need to be excised, and there is still a good chance that the tumor will return, but I don’t see a reasonable alternative, but will still gladly listen to suggestions.

Until Hamas releases the hostages or unconditionally surrenders, whichever comes first, I am not at all concerned about collateral damage to civilians residing Gaza.
