    Any hostage has undergone a horrible ordeal. I hope she is able to adjust and move on in a productive and healthy manner as much as possible. I think those that really have concern for her would try and help with that rather broadcast hateful messages designed to justify and minimize responsibility for killing innocent civilians.

    I'm not advocating silencing of anyone. People should choose on their own not to spread hateful propaganda. Nobody needs to be silenced.

    It depends on the cost.

    So far Gaza has been leveled, there are over 30,000 dead and that doesn't include the dead in the bombed homes and buildings, those that starved to death or are missing... that number is just those taken to the hospital. Millions are starving without proper food/water or housing.

    How many civilians have to die to kill all of Hamas?

    Is Israel going to go into Iraq and Iran, and Yemen and Egypt to hunt down those in Hamas that have left Gaza?

    Is Israel going to go into the West Bank and do what they did in Gaza?

    What is the definitive plan - because I am not hearing one.

    What is "hateful" about her telling the truth about what happened to her?

    Her talking about what happened to her isn't necessarily hateful. Claiming there are no innocent Palestinians is hateful, and spreading it has an agenda that is hateful. Using the ordeal of the hostage to spread a hateful agenda is manipulative, and propaganda used to justify the killing of civilians by one group and dehumanize another group.

    Again, it isn't difficult. Maybe you'd be better off coming to terms with what you're doing rather than trying to excuse it.

    What would you like them to do? There are millions in Gaza that are starving, that do not have clear water, medical care or basic housing - that are close to death. The IDF isn't helping them, they are leveling their towns and homes.... so the choice is drop aid and hope it helps the citizens at least in some cases.

    If the answer is that they all die so that the IDF can make sure every Hamas member is killed - then that is genocide, and the IDF and any other military and country that does that can go **** themselves.

    There is nothing to be excused about telling the truth.

    You are the one who would rather see the truth suppressed.

    Even the Hamas-reported numbers are very very far from "them all dying".

    The 30,000 number only counts the dead that go through the hospital. That does not include those that have starved, those in the buildings that have been demolished....... nor those from disease. Many of the civilians are old people, women and children - and without the US and others dropping aid into Gaza, they will starve to death. If the IDF isn't going to take care of these people and keep them from starving to death or dying from disease, then other nations have to.

    Saying there are no innocent Palestinians is far from the truth.

    Israel stealing more territory.

    At this point US should cut off aid.

    We’ll get there soon. Even Chuck, relative of the zionist whale and the worst comedian you know, amy Schumer agrees that our aid to them should be conditional.



    “If extremists continue to unduly influence Israeli policy then the admin should use tools at its disposal to make sure our support for israel is aligned with our broader goal of peace and stability in the region.”

    Evacuate them, either to Egypt or by sea, and relocate them to whatever country will accept them.

    Why? It is their land. They shouldn't have to leave it.

    Zionists believe in Lebensraum and we support the Zionists.

    Because he’s a ****ing idiot

    however …

    I will say this. And I’ve said it before. There’s a reality that will never change. The Palestinian people will never overcome the Israelis by force, like many times in history a people’s have been conquered. Staying there at the behest of Arab leaders that use them is asinine. They need to take the L and leave

    there have been reports that they “aren’t allowed to leave”, wel if they are now they need to gtfo (not forcefully displaced of course). Staying there is suicide
