      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.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Was he lying or senile?

                    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.

                              It doesn't need to be a humanitarian concern, only a practical one regarding a new generation of murderous revenge seeking terrorists.

                                I’ve heard the words “open air prison” applied to Gaza and the Palestinians. The same people saying this then talk about the IDF blowing up apartment buildings, hospitals, and schools. Aren’t both ideas contradictory to each other?

                                  Let’s reframe that. How about this:

                                  …only a practical one regarding a new generation growing up accepting the hard fact that Israel has the right to exist and any terrorist actions against Israel will result in the Israeli military hurting us far more than we can hurt them.

                                    Could just kill almost all of them and put the remaining few on reservations, then spend the next few hundred years pretending to care, when the progressive young women tell everybody about the atrocity of it all. There is no such thing as Native American terrorism as far as I know.

                                        I am. I think it's entirely possible there are non-Israeli innocent bystanders who are getting hurt and killed in all this. But I agree with LD — you still have one side that is—unbelievably—trying to conduct a war as decently as possible and on the other you have a group doing whatever they can to whomever they can find to do as much destruction as possible. Those two aren't even in the same plane of reality. Israel has a right to exist and what's the alternative? Find a peaceful solution, are you shitting me? Hamas doesn't live in a world in which peace exists.

                                        Please love yourself.

                                          Maybe Bibi needs to take a page from Putin’s playbook on pacifying ethnic minorities. Chechnya. Find a Ramzan Kadyrov type from among the Hamas network and put him in charge of Gaza. He’ll keep everyone in line and out of mischief. It won’t be pretty but he will keep Gazans from terrorizing Israelis. Hold a sword of Damocles over his miserable head to keep him in line.

                                          The other day someone was looking for a parallel to this current war. The Chechen experience of the 1990’s and early years of the 2000s is your answer. Gaza city is looking a lot like Grozny did when Putin let the dogs out on Chechnya.
