Ignore the Canadian guy here - he’s just trying to DEFLECT from the huge NAZI PROBLEM that Canada has, dating all the way back to World War 2.

...very embarrassing when the only purpose for the existence of his country is to moralize to Americans about ‘human rights’.

Good points but Israel could never take over the Middle East and it wouldn’t want to..

Generally a bad idea to twist the bear’s nose.

The largest group of hostages came from that Peace Rave they had near the Gaza strip. The softest targets in Israel.

The Hamas inbreds would be that stupid

You make two important points in that one sentence.

First, a lot of these jihadists really are inbred. See here for example

Second, Russia historically takes harsh action against people who take Russians hostage. Little things like erasing towns, city blocks where the hostage takers live, killing everyone involved, etc. And they could not care less about international opinion.

We all know Putin is a monster (and to forestall the comparison to Ukraine, we all know the Ukrainian government is corrupt as all get out). Ticking off a monster is generally a bad and stupid idea.

Just my humble opinion.

Hamas is an Iran backed organization and Iran is a client state of Russia, as is another terror regime, Syria.

Hamas is backed by Iran, and Iran is backed by Russia (as is Syria). I guess these propagandists think we don’t remember this.

They are shameless.

All they were saying, was “give peace a chance,”, and “suppose they gave a war and nobody came”, and “war is not good for children and other living things”...powerful thoughts that stop bullets...
I suppose the survivors will be packing heat and wearing bulletproof vests at next peace rally...

Oh, interesting. Even beyond what I thought - they actually have friendly diplomatic relations with the terrorist organization itself. But no surprise given their long history of friendly relations and support of other terrorist regimes.

“The largest group of hostages came from that Peace Rave they had near the Gaza strip. The softest targets in Israel.”

Not blaming the victims here but it looks like a bad idea to me to try to bring about peace by doing something (Not wearing burkas, dancing with non relatives, drinking alcohol) that one side (Hamas) considers to be the sign of a morally degenerate, and decadent culture.

There was a time that (Soviet) Russia was VERY persuasive about getting terrorists to release Russian hostages. A visit to the kidnappers’ closest relatives would do the trick.

I wouldn't be surprised, there are a lot of Russian Retirees and Russian Tourists in Israel.

"Welcome newbie. Ruskie?"

How Naziesque of you to label people whose comments you don't like.

"Generally a bad idea to twist the bear’s nose."

Reminder:

Dubrovka Theater Siege by Chechen muslim terrorists on 23 October 2002. Putin used lethal chemical agents to end it.

As I stated.

Not a good idea to play VERY stupid games.

I remember when Democrat Political Officeholders in the United States treated Yasser Arafat of the Terrorist Cult PLO, like the Head Of State of an Arab Nation that never existed.

They still do, even though he's Dead.

I also remember when Canada was a nation, unlike today's Nazi Canuckistan.

Fix yourself first, Foreigner.
