Approximately 1% of Gaza’s CIVILIAN population has been wiped out by Israel in 7 months.
We should not fund this war.
[1% is between Israel’s 0.7% and Gaza’s 1.5% official claims in this article]

Think he has been reading Emerson -
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — ‘Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.’ — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”
Looks like Massie is living large to me.
Wars are bad.
Things get broke and people get killed in wars.
First Law of Wars - Don't start wars
Second Law of Wars - If you ignore the First Law of Wars and find yourself getting your ass kicked - stop fighting the war.
Third Law Of Wars - Do not commit war crimes and atrocities. Follow the Geneva Convention. Do not take hostages and treat prisoners according to Geneva Conventions. and International Law.
The people of Gaza had ignored all of the laws of war and are getting what they have brought upon themselves.
The war in Gaza can end in less than a day- all that needs to be done is return the Hostages and stop fighting.
There are close to 2 million residents of Gaza and maybe 15,000 Hamas fighters left alive. It's pretty easy for 2 million people to run 15,000 beat up to ground so the people of Gaza could put a stop to this war in short order if they wished to.
The fact is, the Residents of Gaza support the war with Israel and want it to continue. I am frankly offended that everyone is up in arms over the very small body count in Gaza and demand an immediate end to the fighting but are dead set on prolonging the death in destruction in the never ending Ukraine proxy war where the KIA count is near 750,000 Ukrainian and Russians and may be as high as a million by years end.
I 100% agree!!!
and as soon as Pres Trump floods the world with oil and stops freeing up $35billion for Iran/hamas we will no longer be funding both sides of both wars.
Yeah, it’s be preferable for them to purchase the arms from us.
ps I think they revised down to 1/2 of 1% yesterday but might be mistaken.
Everyone has balls except when it comes time to point out that Biden energy policy/climatescam oil prices is the proximate cause of all current war on earth.
It’s worth $91billion/yr to Putin not even coiunting nat gas.
He has spent $200billion so far directly derived from our morally bankrupt energy policy.
You agree with his lies?
The use of the terms “terrorist” to describe enemy soldiers and “terrorism” to describe acts of war have become obsolete, if indeed they were ever useful.
When our soldiers landed on Omaha Beach and Iwo Jima, they didn’t need to bring lawyers for the “terrorists”.
Massie is such a useless douchebag. Who cares how many “civilians” have been killed? We killed 720,000 Japanese civilians - and never once provided “aid” to them while we were bombing them to smithereens. Even if 1% have been killed that is 1.25 civilians for every 1 combatant - the U.N.’s own average in wars since WWII is 9:1. He attacks AIPAC - and I can’t stand them either - but then he proves their point that he just parrots Hamas narratives, in line with The Squad.
It is a very fair, good argument take that we should not be giving any aid to Israel. Massie jumps way over that, and accuses Israel of Genocide like the Antisemite that he is.
Yeah and we should just leave our hostages there,
Hamas is a terrorist organization funded by Qatar over the years because Benjamin Netanyahu allowed that money into Gaza to pacify Hamas.
Sad but true all of Bibi’s opponents and some of those politicians in his government now speak that truth.
That is interesting.
Fr yesterday, assessing blame(masc responsibility) is allegedly feminine.
Using the word terrorists for folks that target civilians to incite terror is obsolete.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s entry in the weasel vernacular Olympic trials in the no holds barred effort to minimize atrocity.
Why did Netanyahu allow Hamas to be funded in the first place?
On day 887 of the invasion?
I was promised boots on the NATO ground 800 days ago.
I was promised WWIII about 800 days ago.
“For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces”-Times of Israel October 8, 2023

My bad, that reply is in the wrong place.
See my tagline.
Watching this thread to know who the trolls are.
For the record I am a Christian and Zionist who does not support the Uniparty Globalist Israel Incorporated AIPAC.
Israel is supported by a US government that happens to be 34 trillion dollars in debt it is no wonder they want better relations with Saudi Arbia and “they” means Joe Biden, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald J. Trump.
“They” know how leveraged the USA is right now.
I’m confused. Are you saying that Hamas is not a terrorist organization?
The two headed coin.
Is Israel didn’t provide, they’re not supporting the pals.
If Israel does provide, it’s an open air prison, genocide.
Spin, rinse, repeat.
