    In the grand conflict, firing a missile at or even sending in a hit squad to a building in Qatar is going to have a lot less bloodshed and destruction than any Rafah campaign.

    History will tell what actually happens.

    Hit squad maybe, but difficult to execute. And it's not an either or. Both need to happen.

    Tucker is very libertarian on many issues. I thought you claimed to be a liberal.

    Nothing at all. But he is just anti-socialists probably for the same reason he is anti the rest. It’s all a Jewish conspiracy to them.

    Israel does not target civilians, but if they have an allowance of up to 10 civilians to 1 Hamas militant killed, or 15:1, or 100:1, that ratio is higher than the ratio of civilians killed (intentionally targeted) by Hamas to soldiers killed by Hamas on Oct 7th.

    Civilians killed and their loved ones rightfully expect not to be targeted in armed conflicts or political conflicts, nor to be collateral damage. It makes no difference to them how they were killed. The civilian survivors around them do care - Hamas intentionally targeting civilians is a terrorist act that causes general fear among all civilians. They also care about the allowance of collateral damage - the intentionally high allowance causes general fear among all civilians.

    Glad to see Israelis smearing Americans for not being blindly loyal to Israel. Because somehow the only way for a college campus to be safe is blind loyalty to the Israeli enterprise.
