Hezbollah is the reason Israel needs US military aid to defend itself. Beastly Boy Yesterday #48

I don't get the part where Israel is defending itself by killing women and children. Permanut Yesterday #79

Drop them in where? Beastly Boy Yesterday #98

Well there are other options than dropping them. cstanleytech Yesterday #112

The questions remain: send them in where? Beastly Boy 13 hrs ago #129

Well a good place to send them might be where they hit with the missiles perhaps?? cstanleytech 12 hrs ago #132

The same targets they are hitting now except doing so not with a single strike but Beastly Boy 12 hrs ago #136

Your last question is not really a good one since most of us don't know and that's why I'm asking my question. cstanleytech 12 hrs ago #137

Well, your observation is exactly the reason my question is a good one. Beastly Boy 12 hrs ago #139

I'm not proposing it. I'm simply wondering why they choose air strikes rather than ground troops. cstanleytech 11 hrs ago #141

Your wondering contains a proposition for a ground assault. Beastly Boy 11 hrs ago #143

Ahhh. Okay. Thanks for explaining your thoughts on why 🙂 cstanleytech 9 hrs ago #148

Thanks for posting this, I was napping Mossfern Yesterday #94

They wanted to but Netanyahu broke the ceasefire. AloeVera Yesterday #30

I could agree with what you are saying Mossfern Yesterday #31

Do we need a solution to the whole issue before we can agree that this slaughter of civilians is wrong? AloeVera Yesterday #35

No. We need to free the hostages. Beastly Boy Yesterday #51

Bullshit. No one was stoping them from returning the hostages. Ever. Beastly Boy Yesterday #49

Genocide in plain sight, Bayard Yesterday #10

No need. The absurdity of the same old tired talking points is self-evident. Beastly Boy Yesterday #11

Back at'cha! Bayard Yesterday #62

If I had all the time in the world, I am sure I could have come up with a weaker response. Beastly Boy Yesterday #69

I'm going to tell Mom! Bayard Yesterday #73

Tired talking points and deflections fail to stop the slaughter. PufPuf23 Yesterday #78

Religion nowforever Yesterday #12

I'm all in. twodogsbarking Yesterday #13

You are so correct ! kimbutgar Yesterday #28

I'm sure that this is all Hamas' fault, and they can end it whenever they want Orrex Yesterday #16

I don't know of any Bibi apologists here Mossfern Yesterday #19

Maybe you can explain how murdering tens of thousands of civilians will free the hostages Orrex Yesterday #21

I didn't say that I agree with the bombings -don't put words into my mouth Mossfern Yesterday #24

What has HAMAs offered? MarineCombatEngineer Yesterday #29

Yes, Palestinians should just stay in their "borders". AloeVera Yesterday #70

Maybe you can explain how taking and holding the hostages will end civilian deaths. Beastly Boy Yesterday #52

If one supports current Israeli activities in Gaza or the West Bank, one is a PufPuf23 Yesterday #81

Are you saying that there are Bibi apologists here? MarineCombatEngineer Yesterday #20

I asked that question here not too long ago Mossfern Yesterday #25

Yeah, I remember that thread, MarineCombatEngineer Yesterday #26

Obviously, any link to an apologist would get alerted on for calling them out muriel_volestrangler Yesterday #34

I myself would never alert on such a post, although I do understand that it could be considered a call out, MarineCombatEngineer Yesterday #36

You've got the cause and effect exactly reversed. Beastly Boy Yesterday #56

Not really, you don't have to call out any DU poster, just point to the thread you think it happened in.. EX500rider Yesterday #63

No need to point to threads, beyond those with "Gaza" in the title muriel_volestrangler Yesterday #85

I see, so there are none? EX500rider Yesterday #88

No, you don't see. muriel_volestrangler Yesterday #89

Yep. They will have to live with the stink of genocide they supported. Hassin Bin Sober Yesterday #110

Hold on. You just said there aren't any DUers who have ever done that? Violet_Crumble 2 hrs ago #157

You're asking me to call out DUers by name in violation of the TOS Orrex Yesterday #39

I'm just as horrified by the carnage on both sides, MarineCombatEngineer Yesterday #41

But that's just nonsense Orrex Yesterday #43

Israel already had 10s of thousands of prisoners it held in prison w/o charges questionseverything Yesterday #108

And don't you pretend that HAMAs invaded Israel, torturing, maiming, raping, murdering, kidnapping MarineCombatEngineer Yesterday #111

But you see those people aren't "hostages". AloeVera Yesterday #113

You will be hard pressed to find any DUers arguing in favor of the way the Netanyahu's government conducts the war Beastly Boy Yesterday #61

Oh my God, I am so relieved! AloeVera Yesterday #107

I am very happy for you. I hope you enjoyed it. Beastly Boy 13 hrs ago #128

I do enjoy it. You do provide endless entertainment. AloeVera 12 hrs ago #133

Of course you are not sure what I mean. You never were. Beastly Boy 12 hrs ago #138

Careful... Hieronymus Phact Yesterday #22

LOL. MarineCombatEngineer Yesterday #23

Let's talk numbers. Orrex Yesterday #40

"How many Palestinian civilians has Israel killed?" EX500rider Yesterday #64

Isn't part of the problem that some of the IDF has done rogue things.. electric_blue68 Yesterday #71

Right, right. Orrex Yesterday #93

People's lives aren't numbers Hieronymus Phact Yesterday #66

But slaughter of innocents is always wrong, right? AloeVera Yesterday #84

I never implied otherwise Hieronymus Phact Yesterday #102

The only people who ever make that "people aren't numbers" argument Orrex Yesterday #90

You never answered Hieronymus Phact Yesterday #109

I'm betting that you aren't really that naive. Orrex Yesterday #117

I told you: not playing your numbers games Hieronymus Phact 13 hrs ago #131

It's not a numbers game, and your question is pointless Orrex 8 hrs ago #149

That's a preposterous comparison. Beastly Boy Yesterday #67

While our illustrious press is concerned about Biden, the international news JohnSJ Yesterday #27

That would be good news indeed if Netanyahu hadn't already said: AloeVera Yesterday #37

Releasing the hostages and/or their remains couldn't hurt. Frasier Balzov Yesterday #42

Right. But all along, that's been the claim. Orrex Yesterday #44

If shaming Israel's cruelty is Hamas's objective Frasier Balzov Yesterday #50

That's a lot of words to say "Palestinian children deserve to die en masse" Orrex Yesterday #54

Islam asks us. Frasier Balzov Yesterday #57

All religious justifications are bullshit, no exceptions. Orrex Yesterday #59

I wish they would. AloeVera Yesterday #45

What will stop this war . . . Richard D Yesterday #46

In other words, it will never stop. Or until Palestinians are caged up in a dark hell-hole in Libya. AloeVera 8 hrs ago #150

Well, well, well, lookee here... AloeVera 7 hrs ago #153

Congrartulations! You found a BBC reporter who editorialized the hell out of what Netanyahu said. Beastly Boy 4 hrs ago #155

"Operation Gideon's Chariots" LudwigPastorius Yesterday #53

Yes, indeed. Netanyahu doesn't have to "trust in God's power" because he has 1000 pound bombs and fighter jets. FadedMullet Yesterday #75

With 2000 pound bombs, who even needs God anymore? AloeVera Yesterday #77

The odd thing is that in the early Bible, the only people with chariots are the baddies muriel_volestrangler Yesterday #87

I don't follow Israel/Palestinians/Arabs issues That closely but I have been off & on for decades. This comment from... electric_blue68 Yesterday #65

That's not what he said. I noted it earlier. Beastly Boy Yesterday #76

"Making sure this never happens again is THE goal." LudwigPastorius 23 hrs ago #119

You may be confusing cause and effect. Beastly Boy 12 hrs ago #135

Yes, well the Israelis have only been trying it that way for over half a century. LudwigPastorius 8 hrs ago #151

Trying what? The Israelis have been trying many thubgs for over half a century. Beastly Boy 7 hrs ago #154

The hostages and Oct 7 provided the pretext to achieve hidden goals. AloeVera Yesterday #82

Yeah, blame the victims. Beastly Boy Yesterday #86

Lol. I've been wondering the same about your side! AloeVera Yesterday #91

Just to bring a glaring oxymoron in your statement to your attention: Beastly Boy Yesterday #100

You misread or something. AloeVera Yesterday #101

Or something. Beastly Boy Yesterday #114

I faulted the hostages? AloeVera Yesterday #116
