    LOL yeah but the IDF soliders who are burning libraries in gaza or settlers who are raiding aid trucks are totally sane human beings. What a low life dipshit you are

    A lot of people don’t understand this

    This is like North Korea teaching kids America and South Korea are evil

    this is generational hatred by the Palestinians aka Arabs for the Jews and that goes way back.

    dumb woke people think this just started like 2 years ago. You got to back to pre Ottoman Empire

    All to build it for Hamas? Thats news to me. If Biden had more political capital, he should cut off all sales of weapons to Bibi’s government and tell him to go **** himself.

    However - we live in a world of compromise, so the Zionist pigs get to chase the Islamic extremist cows across Gaza and all the women, children, elderly and non political Palestinians pay the price.

    One the down side - Hamas isn’t going anywhere and they will only get more fanatical recruits across the world - and Bibi will have more land to add to Israel and the assurance that the conflict will only grow worse - which keeps his corrupt ass in office.

    So really - no one that matters benefits, only the scum of the earth gets anything.

    Another day another war crime committed by Israel.
    Bombarding tents.

    What's the point of Netanyahu apologizing now?

    Yea, because 300 was based on a graphic novel and leaned into mythology/superhero like abilities for its characters/the supernatural. Nobody was expecting a faithful telling of history. They were expecting a superhero-ish movie set in the past with some vague nods to real history.

    Unlike KoH or Napoleon which weren't anything like that and why 300 is a terrible comparison.

    People. rightfully, take umbrage all the time when period pieces take too much or extreme license with history.

    Taking the position @fchowd0311 is seemingly taking and going with, "It's a movie" - they can do whatever they want. Gets pretty problematic pretty quickly if instead of depicting crusaders as agnostic/atheist's with 2005 liberal Hollywood sensibilities it depicts historical figures in a way you're less sympathetic towards.

    It's not that liberals support terrorist, they are just too dumb to differentiate.

    Where are the pro Hamas protestors? I keep hearing about that but see a blatant propaganda scheme of labeling everyone supporting civilians as “pro -x”. In fact the one at the initial protest at Columbia was found to be an imposter trying to send the message you indicated under false pretenses

    By that token are people that don’t care about the innocents aka the other side “genocide/holocaust/baby killers “? Given the # of civilians killed, the blatant disregard for their lives perhaps a stronger argument can be made

    Tinman is still one of the most annoying dorks that could possibly exist on the internet. No matter language country or demographic. Just over the top lame to the point of being a caricature.

    It's all in the nuance. Are there pro hamas supporters? Absolutely. How many are there? Who knows. Dig deep enough and one can always be found although I imagine it's more than that.

    I feel the same way about the Jan 6 riots. Were there insurrectionists involved? Probably. However I can't take a person seriously if they continue to call all Republicans at the protest as insurrectionist.

    The government of Gaza (which is Hamas) and the ministry of "information" that you rely on needs to be wiped out and destroyed, unfortunately as you see the two Hamas top targets that died are intertwined among civilians and using them as shields ... my heart is utterly broken for the civilian deaths but at the same time it's understandably not easy... Go IDF !

    So, in your view, the only institution that is actually maintaining records on Palestinians who are dying in this conflict must be “wiped out and destroyed”. What you are calling for there would be a war crime. Israel has maintained that the reported deaths resulting from their strikes are either justified or the fault of Hamas. If they believe this, they have no reason to wipe out and destroy non-military actors who are compiling evidence of those deaths.

    You say you have a broken heart for Palestinian civilians who die, and yet you want no accounting of their deaths and on at least one occasion in the past you posted gleefully about Palestinian children being sniped in the head. Sorry, I must doubt your sincerity.

    In almost all cases, labeling someone as pro-Hamas stems from their criticism of the Israeli government, the IDF, and their conduct in the Gaza war. These are not individuals who have turned to violence, broken laws, or been prosecuted and judged. They are simply exercising their freedom of speech. There is almost always no evidence (tweets aren't evidence) provided or presented that any of these individuals are pro-Hamas. Your use of imagination is correct; this is mostly an imagination from those who fail to grasp the nuance you subscribe to.

    In almost all cases, labeling someone as pro-insurrectionist stems from their involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot insurrection. A number of these individuals have been charged with and convicted of seditious conspiracy against the state. Legally, this means an agreement by two or more persons to act with the intention to overthrow by force the government of the United States; within the context of January 6, it involved actions intended to breach the Capitol, impede the proceedings, and prevent the lawful transfer of presidential power.

    These two are not comparable. One is an imagination, while the other has been ruled upon by our legal system.

    Any part of Hamas must be wiped out and destroyed.

    If the Nazi health ministry in 1944 was "the only institution maintaining records on Germans who were dying", that doesn't mean they had some protection from being wiped out.

    We didn’t wipe out all the actual Nazis in the post War peace. We enforced banning Nazi ideology and reverence of the Nazi (unsuccessfully as there are still Nazis and sympathizers in Germany).

    What you probably mean is the Nuremberg trials which tried and convicted the leaders of the Nazi party for its crimes. But this was only 24 individuals out of the 10 million Nazis in Germany at the end of WWII.

    It’s also not the same type of conflict. Nazi Germany was a world superpower and it took the collective might of the US/UK and the USSR to defeat it. In the end, the two blocks dismantled Germany in half and kept it that way until the 1980s and it became a constant reminder of the Cold War between Capitalism and Communism (or in reality American and Russian world dominance).

    The IDF and Hamas are neither of those groups. Neither are the Israelis or the Palestinians.

    “What happened is really hard and there is nothing we can do,” he said.
    As he speaks, a friend rushes to his side.

    “The people burned! they were burned! They were all burned! What else am I supposed to say?” his friend shouts, throwing his hands in the air.

    “The missile(s) came down, and exploded, and all the people burned.”

    Near the now-burned camp, a trembling boy named Amr blinks back tears. He was in the bathroom when the attack took place, he says between sobs.

    “It happened so fast,” Amr says, a pained expression on his face.
