11. What pisses me off is Israel has been put into an untenable position by Hamas. It is damn if they

do, and damn if they don't.

I am pissed that Hamas has put Israel in the position of killing civilians when going after Hamas.

Far left groups accuse Israel of genocide, war crimes etc., but NEVER once mention that it is Hamas that explicitly calls for the extermination of ALL Jews. It is in the 1988 Hamas Covenant that was issued in 2017.

In the US, every Democratic administration since Carter has tried to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians, while every republican administration since Reagan has sabotaged those efforts. When Bill Clinton left office, he left a blueprint for negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, and when bush took office, those objectives were thrown away, along with the warning from the commissioned Hart/Rudman report about the real threat of AQ and Islamic terrorism. Cheney arrogantly said they would do their own study, and promptly ignored the situation, until 9/11, where their actions allowed them to falsely claim that Iraq had WMDs, which involved us in destabilizing that whole region, and the balance of power, all for the bush administration's policy of "Nation Building" pushed by PNAC.

When Obama took office he worked to undo the damages done by the bush administration, and was successful both domestically, and internationally, rebuilding the respect that the U.S. had lost under the previous bush administration.

Unfortunately trump was elected in 2016, and worked to dismantle all the positive achievements by the Obama administration, both domestically and internationally, the world will be paying for that debacle years to come.

There is a difference between DEMOCRATS and republicans, and that isn't just bias on my part, but a FACT.
