Except I didn’t say that, now did I? I exposed the double standards at play here when Jews are involved.
You exposed your own double standard Lisa. Anytime anyone shows any ounce of compassion for what is happening to people in Gaza, you go on a diatribe about the horrors Hamas inflicted on Israeli civilians, as if that both justifies what is happening to them and heaps scorn upon those who dare show any concern for what is happening.
Here is a suggestion Lisa: it IS possible to condemn what Hamas did to tbe Israeli’s and what the Israeli’s are doing to tbe Gazans.
I don’t think the mother who is trying to dig her dead children out of the bombed out rubble is any less deserving than the grandmother who has discovered her daughter and grandchildren were burned alive in their home by Hamas.
The most important thing is that HAMAS does not conduct another October 7th massacre, as they have said they will do….until every last Jew is gone.
Hamas lacks the ability to do that. That is factual. The ONLY reason Hamas was able to do what it did was the sheer hubris and incompetence of the ruling (far right) coalition that was more focused on it’s partisan ambitions than national security and years of Bibi’s behind the scenes support of Hamas in order split the Palestinians and prevent the possibility of a Palestinian state from ever happening.
Turning the argument from one of legitimate self defense to one of eradication, not just of Hamas (which is an unrealistic objective) but of all of Gaza seems to be about more than self defense.
So how much destruction, how many innocent civilians and children will it take to slake your desire for retribution, and what this government and it’s cheerleaders seem to demand?
Why won’t Egypt take down their fence and let the GAZANS in? Oh right….nobody wants them, and for good reason.
Actually….Egypt doesn’t want Israel dumping several million more refugees on them so Israel can close the door and take their land. For good reason.
And finally, the ball continues to be in the court of the Muslim Terrorists. Return the hostages, and surrender. Do it tonight.
Cease fire AND release of all hostages. That seems reasonable and addresses the cause of innocents on both sides. Anything less is an admission that you are ok with bloodshed as long as it is not “your” people.
