20. In fact, in this plot of land kingdoms fell and fell .. But there was never a Palestinian state or a people.

Thanks Tac, that is an exhaustive, thorough and well presented timeline. Saved for future use.

What a blustering clown Biden is. I’ll bet the conversation sounds a bit different in reality.

Israel will see this thing through by 500lb bombs or suppressed 9mm rounds in the dark. They’re not stopping for shit until they are satisfied Hamas it eradicated in Gaza (and perhaps elsewhere). I strongly suspect many of the remaining hostages are either dead or physically out of Hamas control. I hope I’m wrong about that, but If Israel can verify such a thing as true there will be no stopping the retribution.

Ask someone to name a king or queen of Palestine or where the borders were drawn.

Seems to me that the Israelis know EXACTLY what to do about this "humanitarian crisis." Maybe Biden should check with them for ideas...

And Bibi’s response had better be, “FOAD, Brandon.”

Pro Palestinian protestor? Destruction of property is not protest. Carrying signs, doing sit-ins, mild civil disobedience are protests. That was just criminal destruction of something that can not ever be replaced.

Hopefully they have to pay restitution in addition to whatever jail time they serve .

4 hours in holding and a stern rebuke. That oughta show her.

My outrage at these events knows no bounds.

The Israel Defense Forces said Monday that troops have killed some 12,000 of Hamas’s estimated 30,000 gunmen in the Gaza Strip since war erupted on October 7

Hamas is also believed to have thousands of operatives who are seriously wounded and unable to fight.

Biden: Israeli operation in Rafah would be a red line
US President tells MSNBC that Netanyahu "must, must, must" pay more attention to preventing civilian casualties in Gaza.

Biden: "He (Netanyahu)** hurts Israel more than he protects her. This is a mistake."

What's he going to do? Attack Isreal? His words carry no weight. Even if he assassinated Bibi that wouldn't stop the war. It's not Bibi's war, it's Isreals.

The Knesset overwhelmingly approved the war cabinet. Does president Biden think this war is at Bibi 's whim? It's a unity government that has dropped everything else to deal with the war.

The US provides aid to Israel.

Netanyahu pledges to ignore Biden’s ‘red line’ and invade Rafah

https://www.washingtonexaminer...ne-and-invade-rafah/

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brushed off President Joe Biden’s concerns and criticisms, vowing to move forward with Israel’s military occupation in Gaza.

Biden insisted on Saturday that the Israeli leader’s strategy for the country’s war against Hamas is “hurting Israel more than helping.” When asked about Rafah, he added, “It is a red line,” attempting to put pressure on Netanyahu to do more to protect Palestinians.

Netanyahu was asked the following day whether Israeli forces would push into Rafah, a city in the southern Gaza Strip and a refuge for millions of Palestinians. “We’ll go there. We’re not going to leave. You know, I have a red line. You know what the red line is, that October 7 doesn’t happen again,” he said, referring to Hamas’s brutal massacre that killed about 1,200 Israelis and triggered the current conflict. “Never happens again.”

The prime minister even said he had the implicit backing of some Arab leaders, according to Politico. “They understand that and even agree with it quietly,” he said. “They understand Hamas is part of the Iranian terror axis.”

Biden has increased pressure on Netanyahu as the war in Gaza has persisted. “You can’t have another 30,000 Palestinians dead as a consequence of going after (Hamas),” the Democratic president added in his interview with MSNBC. “There are other ways to deal with Hamas.”

However, not only has the U.S. continued to supply weapons to Israel, with Biden being denounced by many Democrats and voting blocs for doing so, but it also appears his requests of Netanyahu are being promptly ignored. The Israeli leader’s comments on Sunday do not counteract that assumption, nor do they make Biden appear strong in his foreign endeavors, something at which his rivals will be sure to take aim.

The Mouse That Roared.

I watched a video of one of the hostages saying paleostinean civilians came across the border to kidnap them and sell them to hamas.

Sounds to me like there are no non-combatant civilians.

Tried to Google new for that. ^^^

Only a UK new agency was carrying the story and it mostly focused not on the trespassing or disruptions, but more on a protestor that got knocked out or had a medical emergency in the streets.

You'd think that a giant group of terrorist supporters storming and taking over a transportation would draw more attention from the news, but I guess that's just America today.

There's some more videos at the link including one of them trying to attack a vehicle, guess they are learning from antifa/BLM.
