    ATW's stochastic terrorism on a NBA team fan message board could be a 5 part novel series.

    I find it hard to believe your imagination is this limited.

    This is where a bit of common sense can be helpful before you post.

    There isn't even a functioning banking system in Gaza. They don't even have electricity lol. How would you transfer money to them? And how would they spend it even given they are under full blockade. And finally, the US gov't can not make secret payments to another entity - it has to be public record.

    Think man.

    Great, please provide the Israelis with the areas they can target Hamas without hitting innocent people. Share it here as well.
    So, there is no area where they can attack Hamas targets without killing innocent "Palestinians"? Oh, I was right then after all.
    If the "Palestinians" disarmed today, there would be no more conflict. If the Israelis disarmed today, there would be no more Israel. Everyone in the civilized world can see who is the problem, which is why support for Israel is near record highs.
    I provided multiple solutions to the issue of Arab civilians in Gaza to save their own lives. Seems my imagination is better than that of the people that said they cannot possibly move 20km in 24 hours.

    The thing is @maypk supports Hamas. Like @Exiled, he wants Jews to be murdered. He lies about everything and does not care about facts.

    If the "Ukrainians" disarmed today, there would be no more conflict as well but i'm pretty sure you are not rooting for that :)

    Did you mean we used Iranian money, through Qatar, to purchase humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians in order to secure the release of U.S. hostages? If that's the case, it's brilliant!

    Dying Gazans Criticized For Not Using Last Words To Condemn Hamas

    GAZA CITY, GAZA—The complicity of each and every Palestinian in the violent actions of their militant ruling authority was reportedly on full display Friday morning when dying Gazans received justified criticism for not using their last words to condemn Hamas. For example, instead of issuing a full-throated denunciation of the violent attacks by Hamas that have left over 1,300 Israelis dead, one dying woman holding her 6-year-old son who had just been killed in a bombing is said to have doubled down by telling her child she loved him. According to reports, such barbarism on the part of Palestinians was on full display across the Gaza Strip, where many men of fighting age could not muster a single world of reproof for Hamas’ actions while they coughed up blood. In war-ravaged Gaza City, a dying reporter was heard blatantly begging for help instead of labeling Hamas a terrorist organization. At press time, the Israeli Defense Forces Twitter account underscored the massive surge of contempt they were contending with by posting a video that featured the shocking savagery of a Palestinian corpse that refused to condemn Hamas even when kicked.

    Are you appropriate? .
    Is your opinion on "collateral damage" deaths appropriate?

    Yep, it is.

    And what I said is true, and will continue to be true.

    I don’t have the answer to the Palestinian and Israel conflict, when one sides position is to wipe out the other, doesn’t leave much room for common ground.

    So more civilians will continue to die because governments are haggling over land and whose mythological beliefs are more right.

    Sigh.

    You keep acting like hamas wants a 2 state solution. Hamas intended goal is the elimination of Israel. They have no interest in peace

    What does that have to with a suburban Cheeto stained man waxing lyrical about how collateral damage is inevitable?

    You know how I know your claims about collateral damage isn't analysis but rather subconscious post hoc moral rationalization?

    Because you wouldn't make that claim not living in an airspace defended by US airpower and instead lived in a area where the airspace routinely sees ordinance drops.

    It is something you say out of convenience.

    Because of America's geographical advantage it is almost the only country you can say that about. To test your theory, do any other people around the world have the same opinion on collateral damage or is it uniquely american?

    Yes. Western European nations have multiple generation of adults who have the same feeling of safety in their airspace as Americans as WW2 is like two generations removed now.

    You've head of what NATO is right? If you are a citizen of a NATO country you are more than likely never waking up and worrying about the sky dropping bombs on you. It's not a thing on your mind. This applies to any country with nuclear arms also. Hence why Iran wants one so bad.

    I've been to Afghanistan. They don't have the same views on collateral damage.
