Delaying the indictment of the Hamas leaders (probably not the correct term) until now shows how unserious he is about pursuing their crimes
Salman Rushdie says a Palestinian state formed today would be ‘Taliban-like’
Novelist, who teaches at New York University, says he finds it strange that progressive students currently ‘kind of support a fascist terrorist group’
Trump Foreign Policy team on a delegation to Israel. Apparently met with Lapid and Bibi. 😳😳😳😳
Being consistent, they really shouldn't be doing that unless/until they are in a position to be setting foreign policy. It pissed me off when former Obama officials were running around inserting themselves into things internationally. Like it or not that feeble old man and his morons are still in charge, we shouldn't be out presenting disunity fronts internationally.
Your attempts at condescension are noted and ignored.
Nobody in charge in Israel is currently saying to "mow them all down". They are saying and have repeatedly indicated they are going to destroy Hamas.
WW2 and Pearl Harbor are just fine tangential comparisons to the war in Gaza. On December 7th the US was hit in a sneak attack by a country who had been negotiating sticking points with us almost up to the hour of the attack. Over 2,000 US servicemembers and citizens were killed. We ended that war by doing things like fire bombing Tokyo and dropping 2 atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In scale, the death toll in Israel on Oct. 7 would be like us waking up tomorrow morning and by noon hearing that the Mexican drug cartels crossed the border and murdered 40,000 people and took another 7,200 hostage and then drug some of them dead and alive through the streets of Tijuana or Ciudad Juarez and livestreamed it to the world celebrating the murders.
You are off your rocker if you don't think the majority of us would be demanding vengeance. "Stable international communities" are maintained by beating the **** out of people like the Palestinians and Hamas because they are the antithesis to that idea. The idea that we talk our way to a stable world order is a complete fallacy. Order was developed and maintained under the threat of violence. Even in the cases where talk is to be had, it is because the balance of violent ability is close enough that enforcing will one way or the other is impossible or too costly. (See MAD and the Cold War).
Why has Irish geopolitics always been so shitty? Those Brits really did a number on them I guess.
lots of common ground between the Irish and Palestinians. For centuries the British convinced the world the Irish were violent and ungovernable. turns out people with a boot on their throat will live up to their worst stereotypes.
Yeah but even at the height of The Troubles the general populations support for IRA terroristic methods was infinitesimal. A stark contrast to Gazans support for Hamas methods.
That can likely be chalked up to Catholicism being a superior ideology to Islam.
please, give us the full report on Irish support for the IRA vs Palestinian support Hamas. would love to read it.
Catholic ideology superior to any major religion? LOL
Such a report likely doesn't exist but Sinn Fein was a minority party during The Troubles and that's the closest thing the IRA had to political representation. We've all seen the facts and figures from Gazans following the Hamas attacks. They support them.
Catholicism is of course a superior ideology and value system to Islam. Even the negatives that are usually associated with Catholicism are not related to core tenets Catholic doctrine like Jihad is with Islam.
The second state is Jordan. **** these people and **** anybody that defends them. The Palestinians get what they deserve.
Video showing bloodied Israeli female soldiers captured by Hamas released
The captives' families hope the three-minute footage will increase pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu to agree a truce with Hamas and secure the hostages' release.

And when people express exasperation with international organizations and express a desire for the US to become a little more isolationist and choosey with how we spend our money on foreign influence, this is why.
Everything associated with the Palestinians is enmeshed with their terrorism. The Israelis should kick the UN the **** out of that territory along with the Palestinians.
Lovely people those Palestinians. Who wouldn't want them for neighbors?
I feel like we are watching you convince yourself to shift from supporting ethnic cleansing to supporting genocide in real time.
This is a long-term tactic of the terrorists and some believe it all without any question at all.
It's also a long time tactic of internet trolls to post one thing and say it is another. Say, post a video of a movie being made in one country and claim it's staged war footage from another.

Blindly accepting these conspiracy theories is no better than denying the violence of Oct. 7.
True. However, the terrorists have been caught staging scenes like that countless times. That point stands.It's also a long time tactic of internet trolls to post one thing and say it is another. Say, post a video of a movie being made in one country and claim it's staged war footage from another.

It's pretty obvious that video posted above isn't that, though. It's clearly a badly made propaganda film of some kind they are making.
Also, my main point is that it's not a good idea to only be skeptical of one side. Assuming the Palestinians are always lying while taking everything Jewish Twitter posts as gospel won't help one be informed.
Israel ordered to immediately halt Rafah offensive by top U.N. court
Israel is unlikely to comply with the order, which the International Court of Justice has no power to enforce, but the landmark ruling will pile pressure on the increasingly isolated U.S. ally.
www.nbcnews.com
“The top United Nations court cited an ‘immediate risk’ to Palestinians, noting that more than 800,000 people had been forced to flee Rafah since Israeli forces began ground operations in an area that had once been declared a safe zone.”
“Judge Nawaf Salam, president of the ICJ, said Israel had failed to sufficiently address and dispel concerns raised by its offensive, all while the ‘catastrophic’ living conditions of Palestinians in the strip had deteriorated further.”

Dude only gets one vote, but it's definitely not great optics that he happens to be President of the court at the moment.
Who would even go enforce that order anyway. Most international bodies are talking parties. The US is the teeth and we aren't arresting any of those dudes.
