There is something surreal, even sick about the current Gazan war.
Throughout European and American cities and campuses, tens of thousands of Middle East immigrants and students, and radical leftists chant nonstop "Free Palestine from the River to the Sea."
More recently, they are also yelling, "Israel, you can't hide, we caught you in genocide."
Consider the hypocrisy of that dual messaging.
Hamas and its supporters are openly and eagerly calling for the genocidal end of Israel by wiping it out from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
Yet at the same time they also claim it is Israel that is committing genocide

When I find weird that the protesters will call for the end of the Jews always also call for rape in addition to murder. My question is if Jews are such low beings why would these wonderful soon to be martyrs want to rape them, are they into dogs too? I think they just find those Israeli chicks really hot and they're troubled. Who could blame them they are hot. But they need to punish them for talking back with arguments they can't counter.

Absolutely ‘spot on’. How anyone can be duped by those who are corrupt, violent and full of hate is mind boggling. So after the horrific attacks against Israelis ‘in their homes’ and elsewhere, suddenly they are the aggressors against poor little Hamas and their fellow terrorists. Unbelievable that even one sane person could look at these terrorists with any sympathy.

Here in western Colorado, the local news programs on tv are run by mostly young aspiring college students who desire a career in communications. Some of them actually think the pro-hamas crowd needs to be re-educated and be shown the pics of the Israeli people and children who were murdered by hamas.

This why they're called " useful idiots ". Way too dumb to realize that they're being used and that that are 100 % disposable by their users.

Because the Age of Reason is dead. We now inhabit the Age of Identity and Propaganda.
I'm surprised at how few recognize this fact. Not that facts matter anymore.

Just like with the Russian war, both sides are absolutely evil and have done plenty of things to deserve an arse whooping. What I find baffling is that so many supposedly intelligent college kids fail to see the crimes of the Moslems that brought this on, or the crimes they commit every single day since they were invented, and especially since the European invasion.
We have our own evil that is destroying us. Best to stay out of the middle east. Let them kill each other.

I have a really hard time with these so-called hyphenated Americans who seem to care more about the country they left or that their parents left than the USA. Look at Rashida Tlaib - her mother looks like she never left their home village back in Gaza. I can understand her parents, like Ilhan Omar (if still alive) worrying about their former homeland but their children who were born here? Of course, if my late mother was screeching about the Germans killed in bombing raids back in NAZI Germany, she and her family would have been deported or at least thrown in prison.
The last several decades of unlimited legal and illegal immigration and allowing in too many of the dregs from craphole countries has so cheapened what it means to be an American that the only thing unique about being American is we have a really neat national flag and our tax dollars are the only thing anyone around the world wants from us and values.

Remember, you're talkin about the sick indoctrinated liberal mind here. Nothing more than delusional mentally ill lunatics. Raving maniacs running around howling like a pack of wolves looking for a piece of red meat. There is no logic to their thinking because they are incapable of processing one logical thought. All by design. Our society, as a whole is under attack. Crime, illegal aliens, the destruction of our educational system and the assault on our freedoms are all part of the communist agenda to destroy us from within. Got it..

FTA: "Hamas takes for granted that a supposedly heartless Israel nevertheless will be reluctant to strike the Hamas terrorists when and if they are surrounded by civilians."
The U. S. firebombed Tokyo towards the end of WWII causing more "civilian" deaths than nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We and our British allies also firebombed "civilians" in Dresden, Germany trying to shorten the war in the European Theater.
Unless or until Israel kills over 125,000 actual Palestinian civilians, Biden has no moral authority to "call-on" Israel to do other than what they must to prevent the criminal savages, the so-called Palestinians, with no legitimate claim to a square inch of Israeli territory, from wiping their fellow Israelis off the face of the Earth. If anything, the U.S. should be ensuring the arms pipeline that allows Israel to protect itself. If that means Israel de-populating Lebanon or nuking Tehran, then so be it.

Good versus Evil. All predicted if you know where to look, and it will get much worse.
But end up much better.

What the rabid dog supporters of Hamas claim is exactly counterfactual. But they still proudly claim it, and the empty headed "students" in our leftist indoctrination centers.....called universities sometimes.....buy all this nonsense because their brains have been addled entirely with leftist hate pumped by endless hours of Communist, anti-freedom indoctrination by the "professors".
Meanwhile, the official Joe Biden (Obama) policy is that they are helping Iran to get nuclear weapons as quckly as possible. So this rabid dog of a country can start the nuclear Armageddon that their sick "religion" has prophecied will "save the world'.....for Islam.
So, Iran's official policy is "we must end the world to save it". And Joe is helping them.

How many dead Germans or Japanese would it take for them to give up. This question was constantly debated during the war years. The number was not initially known or guessable. But it existed. Initially the Japanese losses were in the same range or a small ratio of allied dead. Even Okinawa ( 12000 to 100,000) made no difference. But when the fire bombing of Tokyo, Hiroshima/Nagasaki took the ratio to thousands from single digits the dam broke. My hunch is the ratio here - Israelis to Hamas is a lot lower. Israel has just to hang in there. And WE have to keep up the pressure on our feckless politicians.

You cannot argue with a closed, ignorant mind. They know only force and ego. When people are on a power trip, all you can do is tear up the tracks.

The kind of evil we are witnessing today by Hams is not new. It is their usual warfare strategy. The difference, we can see the atrocities immediately in living color. People are shocked and outraged, but any of the terrorist enemies know exactly how they roll and it is horrific. This is the strategy of warfare going forward. Muslims have no qualms about doing heinous acts to get their way. They believe it is their duty and know the west is horrified but also know their tactics are successful because of the faction inside the west that insists we stop retaliating with the harshest of measures. We cannot defeat this death cult if we do not have the resolve to completely annihilate this horrific scourge on the world. We have the means to destroy this horror today, but we lack the will and that means, the evil doers win.

I am glad that Hanson points out that the Palestinians, with rare exceptions, support Hamas and celebrate every atrocity inflicts on Israel. All of their elected officials are Hamas. For the most part, the Palestinians are not innocent as claimed in their propaganda. It is amazing how many “useful idiots” believe the Hamas/Palestinian propaganda.

#6. “Both sides are absolutely evil”?!
Please take the moral equivalency elsewhere. Israel is not perfect, but if the Arabs were not genocidal, there would be peace.
I guess Jews fighting back in the Warsaw ghetto were evil, too.

Anyone accusing Israel with genocide against Palestinians does not wish to be confused with the facts. Haters just want to hate.

Everything I need to know about “Palestinians” I learned on September 11, 2001 when they danced in the streets in celebration of the attacks on the US.

Hamas deliberately slaughters Israeli civilians, and it's OK.
Israeli forces attack Hamas Murderers hiding in their headquarters that is built UNDERNEATH a Hospital, and the Media attacks the 'heartless Israelis'.
Lies from Democrats, Lies from Hamas are accepted without question and reported as the Truth,
Statements of Fact from the Israelis, Statements of Face from US Conservatives are ignored or denounced as Lies.
It looks to me to be, in the Hamas-Israeli war, the same double standard we have in the Leftist Media and Corrupt Leftist legal system here in the US.
The HornDog, the HildeBeast, Zero, Moochie, the HairSniffer and Huncher blatantly violate the law, sell the US down the river, steal elections, fill their pockets with crooked wealth, and the Media deliberately ignores it.
Let Donald Trump ask Zelinski in a phone call about Ukrainian corruption when The HairSniffer was Vice President, and Trump gets IMPEACHED.
Prohibit law-abiding churchgoers from attending church service because of the 'danger' of Covid, but let leftist Rioters run the streets and burn buildings and it's just fine, as it's a 'Mostly Peaceful Protest".
It's OK for Leftists to Violently protest at the Supreme Court and threaten the life of conservative Supreme Court justices at their home, That's 'Free Speech',
But if Conservatives protest a blatantly Stolen Election at the Capitol -a protest infiltrated by evil Antifa extremists and numerous undercover Federal 'agent provocateurs', and the FBI spends Million$ tracking down those Conservative protesters who did nothing wrong, arresting them in pre-dawn raids at their homes, then holding them for YEARS in Solitary Confinement with NO charges, No Trial, claiming their were 'Trying to Overthrow the Government'.
Leftist Prosecutors go after Donald Trump in many Leftist courts with Leftist Judges and Leftist Juries all at the same time, claiming that -in telling his Citizens to "Peacefully and Legally Make Your Voices Heard", he was trying to Overturn the (stolen) Election and should be Ineligible to even run for office again.
It's all Variations on the Same Blatantly Crooked Double Standard in the US Media, US Government, and the US Legal System!
