Hamas Attacks, Israel Responds

This is truly dumb and dumber category.......I am losing some brain cells reading some "comments" here.

 

Check your PMs.

 

Demanding a yes or no answer to an incomplete hypothetical on a complex issue is pro-ignorance, pro-dishonesty, pro-civic-illiteracy.

 

Interesting reading the article that's linked there...

...

On Wednesday evening, Ms. Magill apologized for her testimony.
“In that moment, I was focused on our university’s longstanding policies aligned with the U.S. Constitution, which say that speech alone is not punishable,” she said in a video. “I was not focused on, but I should have been, the irrefutable fact that a call for genocide of Jewish people is a call for some of the most terrible violence human beings can perpetrate. It’s evil — plain and simple.”​

It's what I said.

She'd got a feather up her arse about being questioned by a fascist, (which I get), and threw a hissy fit instead of just answering the damn question.

 

I'm more in the form of an interested amateur but I agree

 

I get that is possible to read into my posts if you are already looking for a reason to see it.

My opinion from the beginning has been the way Hamas does what they do is to maximize civilian death to garner international condemnation, which people have been all too ready to do.

All death should be condemned, especially when it is a vulnerable civilian population, but the blame is being improperly placed 100% on the IDF.

 

Let's be honest m8, if you're anything like me you didn't have a lot to spare

 

The issue for American Jews is that they find that they are being excluded from Intersectionality talks by a misuse of Intersectionality itself.

See https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/intersectionality-and-israel#_edn15

The basic issue here is that, once again, someone has waded in to a complex scenario and sorted everyone in to good guy/bad guy bins or, rather, oppressor/oppressed bins.

Intersectionality is meant to be a tool for analysis but it has somehow become a magic wand that we wave to excuse our biases.

 

I'm not saying THAT'S tying yourself to her but if you're not prepared to recognise she's a liar and right-wing shill, that most definitely would be.

That's why I asked, specifically, do you recognise what she is?

 

While some of the extremist elements of the Israeli right (and Netanyahu's government) may see it this way, I doubt that most of the people making the decisions genuinely think that they can permanently displace several million people.

My general sense is that Israel's government saw a need for an immediate and massive response (partly due to public opinion and the horror of the attacks, and partly to avoid scrutiny for their own failure to prevent them). So, they opted for something similar to what they'd done in previous Gaza incursions, but on a much larger scale. Their declared general goals of eliminating the political power and military threat of Hamas probably weren't accompanied by a clear plan for what that would mean in the medium and long term, and they're trying to figure that out as they go along.

 

This video is soooo problematic and genocidal. Today is the start of Hannukah which celebrates the recovery of the Temple and Jerusalem. The mitzvah cited is in Deut. 25:19 but mistranslated to twist the meaning to straight up genocide.

The primary issue is that equating Gazans to Amalek is unwarranted and has no support in Torah. Translating "zeker" to seed or descendance is a further unwarranted extrapolation. The correct translation would be remembrance.

 

This is an Argentina-Israeli account reporting that a major Hamas group has been captured. IDF still does not confirm.

⚠️ ÚLTIMA HORA: Miembros del Batallón Shejaiya de Hamas han sido arrestados en masa después de que las FDI rompieran efectivamente sus líneas defensivas.

IDF has confirmed that a major weapons cache has been captured

Who stores RPG missiles, anti-tank missiles, explosive devices, long-range missiles, grenades and UAVs at a school and a medical facility in Gaza?

The answer: Hamas.

Hamas doesn’t hide their terrorism. Stop excusing it. pic.twitter.com/az4Es0Vh5v

The defense department has supplied Israel of how many weapons and how much military aid? Call me crazy but he might know a thing or two about fighting lost battle and having too much of a Rush of blood to the Head in decision making.

He's calling out this idea of fighting to win and what does that mean and what does that look like and the long-term ramifications of fighting to win.

 

You've stated you do not have a number or do not know what you deem to be too much. So although it's a shame these women and children are dying it is hamas's fault that has brought this upon them and you cannot give a number as to at which point there will be too many innocent deaths for you to be okay for the continued War by Israel but all in defense of 10/7 and those atrocities must be avenged.

 

When people post something like missing flyers of kidnap victims in Israel it's not like I'm going to see them and call the number. It is an attempt to let you know of the horror and the pain that is going on out there and I respect and I understand that you want to keep that in people's minds that's why your place in those flyers up. I would say if you disagree with it or want to counter that message then put up a flyer of the Dead in Gaza or some of the damage done by the Israeli Army in Gaza. If you tear it down then it looks like you don't care or you're happy at the kidnapping. Covering it up with something is more showing I prioritize something else.

We have a Grief-off and it is a battle for the hearts and minds of onlookers as to who you support and why.
