    I’ve read too many books on the topic. But not enough books on Central European history.

    They have been doing this stuff to each other for a long time.

    Don't get swayed by propaganda.

    People are hungry for revenge but ignoring that each escalation by Israel may inch a separate country in to this fight creating a bigger war.

    If anyone still wants to attack Gaza at this point, then they are just war mongering plain and simple. Israel has devastated Gaza. They need to pull out.

    Use the brain.

    I am not swayed by propaganda.

    The escalation came from Hamas on Oct. 7, not by Israel.

    If you think differently, you have been swayed by propaganda.

    I lived in a very Muslim neighborhood in Berlin, close to "Sonnenallee".

    Now I live in a very Jewish neighborhood.

    I have heard both sides.

    Yeah, and they are both wrong.

    But now you are going to allow two F'ed up governments to potentially create a bigger issue? Nope.

    US needs to step up like other countries are trying to do, and call off the dogs.

    Just because Bought and Paid for US politicians are telling you its ok to let Israel see this through doesn't mean its ok.

    It's not. Bigger stakes are at play.

    Its ok for Hamas and the Israeli Governments to be wrong.

    No winner here.

    The only way you could think Hamas and the Israeli Government are comparable is that you are Muslim. Or Bernie-style leftist.

    I'm not blaming you.

    Just saying that the Jewish government doesn't rape women and doesn't bake babies.

    They are not remotely comparable.

    And you are 100% siding with what the US Gov is saying. Thinking its ok to continue at the possibilities of creating a bigger war is laughable.

    You have fallen for the US/Israeli propaganda.

    You do realize most civilians in Gaza are pissed that Hamas did what they did.

    There own people are blaming Hamas whether they "hate" jews or not.

    The victim count has almost 10x'd what happened to Israel. Point was made.

    I am not going to embed due to graphic content. So please be careful what you click on here. I advise most not.

    (add a M to make it x.com and copy/paste)

    Jewish government is actively killing children. The information is out there.

    As mentioned, nobody is right here.

    Bombing civillian buildings and ambulances because Hamas might be there is reckless and disregarding of human life.

    There are no winners in war. Picking a side here is what these war mongering governments want you to do. You have taken the bait.

    It's not about making a point.

    It's about removing Hamas.

    It will be a liberation for the Palestinian people as well, even if many of them won't understand it at first.

    Most of the Arab countries actually want Israel to end Hamas, now. They just can't say it.

    It's sad and unfortunate that civilians are suffering due to war.

    But Hamas started this. And they will be ended by it.

    Yes.

    Although I doubt that you would have seen what I have seen, and talked to the people I have talked to, and be able to compare the two.

    I assume your Berlin experience surrounded you with poor Arabs/Muslims who committed crimes and your Miami experience is around rich Jews who are model minorities.

    It’s a version of prosperity gospel and its steeped in colorism. We instinctively want to associate with successful people and disassociate with unsuccessful people.
