Netanyahu: We are at war. Israel attacked by Hamas.
No, try again. I am asking you directly: Do you want Israelis to kill children?

Do I want it? No. I don't think that would make them any better than the terrorists. But it seems some have posted their desire for actions that would result in the same thing. I posted some scripture from the Bible that, to me, said what others here have been saying for pages.
If I was wrong to have done so then I apologize.

I'm not asking you to apologize. I'm asking you to own your beliefs, rather than attribute them to biblical scripture.
As for those talking about napalming all Palestinians, I don't think they believe that any more than what you've said, but at least they stated it directly. That's the difference.
Years ago during the early days of the GWOT, the subject of murdering Muslim women and children came up, and I challenged the member who made those remarks, asking them if they would be willing to murder women and children. That member said no, but one lunkhead piped up- thinking himself Mister Super-Patriot, I guess- saying "I'll do it."
I asked this member, making sure he understood that we were not talking about collateral casualties in a war, but rather, murdering innocents, and once again, this shit head came back and said "Yeah, I'll do it."
He got run off. I told him to come back when he was feeling human. He went over to other boards, twisting my words. He said "He said something about how I wasn't human."
Dishonest motherfucker. He was done for good at that point. Banned, and good riddance.
Just a trip down memory lane, that's all.
Measure your words carefully, guys. All the decent people of the world are upset about what has happened. As a matter of fact, this incident has become quite the acid test for one's humanity, hasn't it?
Let's attempt to maintain an even strain.

Yeah...whole 'nuther story when you get your nipples twisted in a vice, huh AOC??? You crawfishing, ignorant, wannabe SLUT.
AOC, liberal politicians slam pro-Palestine rally amid growing backlash: 'bigotry and callousness'
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y, and other elected Democrats have moved to distance themselves from events that took place at a pro-Palestine rally promoted by the NYC chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
On Sunday, a protest in New York organized by the DSA – a group that boasts six members of the U.S. House of Representatives, including members of "the Squad" – took place in Times Square and then advanced down 42nd Street to Bryant Park, close to the Israeli Consulate. . . <snip>
I'm sure Tlaib and Omar are still out there dancing in the streets. Cue Bowie and Jagger. The only problem, is that people's memories are awfully short or they're just that stupid...I go with the latter...and these two (can't type what I want to call them) will STILL be elected in their respective states of Demotarded Michigan and Mogadi...er...I mean, Minnesota.

My friend Arty has just expressed the disre to immediately head home. He as a son and daughter in Ashekelton. I've tried to explain to him that he's no use to them if he's maimed or worse yet killed.

The other Islamic nations do not care for the Palestinians, who are considered outcasts, scum. These same nations are not interested in giving any land or anything to the Palestinians. They really have no other place to go except the sea.
Wasn't Gaza flat-out offered to Egypt at a certain point and they refused?

The Egyptian border to Gaza has been sealed for a while. Residents of Gaza can only go through the border crossing with a special permit, almost impossible to get.
No country in the region wants the Palestinians.

How did they not have the intel on an operation this large? This was no where near a “planned this weekend and executed Monday morning” event.
Israel is no different than most other Western nations who have modern militaries and security services. The last 30-years have seen an over-reliance on technology and weapons to win wars, rather than people and will. Depending on satellites, various sensors across a range of spectrums, autonomous devices, programs tasked with opening a front on the cyber world, all of these are relevant, however the enemy always has a say in the fight and they'll strike where you least expect. Much like 9/11 for the US and the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the enemy found blind-spots and shortcomings in the security structure and exploited it.
There's a belief that there was some form of electronic warfare usage masking the staging and movement of Hamas forces while the rocket barrage distracted Israeli security. The rocket barrage was large enough to overwhelm the Iron Dome system which was enough to distract Israeli decision makers. The 2021 rocket barrages, where dramatic photos of Iron Dome intercepts captured the publics attention, was the largest concentrated rocket launch until this event. A significant number of those rockets, were longer range models that could reach deep into Israel. Secondarily, the depth of Hamas' missile magazines is likely to be much larger than estimated, the 2021 attacks was believe to be the maximum tempo Hamas could sustain, until this event. The resupplying of Hamas missile stocks speaks to the network and infrascture in-place from Iran which includes small arms and other munitions.

We need a strong Congressional leader to take and enact action to aid Israel and defend our interests here and abroad. Joe and Kamala aren't up to the task.
Potato will still have to sign it and then act upon it. And since waffling and foot-dragging are his two best talents the whole Gaza thing will be over by the time he gets around to it.
