CAIRO — Violence between Israelis and Palestinians expanded in new directions on Friday, with deadly clashes convulsing the occupied West Bank and anti-Israeli protests erupting along Israel’s borders with two Arab neighbors.

The widening sense of mayhem in Israel and the Palestinian territories came as Israeli airstrikes brought mass evacuations and funerals to Gaza, and as Hamas rockets singed Israeli towns for a fifth consecutive day.

Hamas and Israeli officials signaled they were open to discussing a cease-fire amid global calls for peace and frantic diplomacy aimed at heading off a further fracturing in one of the Middle East’s most intractable struggles.

I guess the Pali terrorists are mad about the Israeli air force snuffing their boys in the tunnels...

Biden supports Iran.

Iran is fighting a proxy war against Israel through it’s Hamas allies.

Yeah, they want Israel to calm down - I think they’ve finally run out of cheek.

Hi.

Long time ago the prophet Samual told King Saul that when the Israelites had conquered the Philistines in battle, he was to kill all the men, women, children and beast of the enemy.

Well, king Saul didn’t do that and we have today’s war.

Just sayn

in less than 100 days, the Biden regime has reversed most of the expanding middle east peace. plus, he’s reversed directions by fostering and financing this latest Fakestinian attack on Israel

the Puppetmeisters behind Mr. Biden’s installation as POTUS (the ones who financed and arranged the Election Theft of 2020).... hate USA, hate Israel, hate Christians, hate Jews, and they love Fakestinian and other Muslim terrorist murder gangsters .. along with the crazy anti=American Iranian dictatorship

we expect a lot more trouble... Jerusalem will have to excise the local sources of this violence on her own...hopefully they’ll do it decisively and permanently (which means there will be plenty more leftist anti-Semitic headlines from the controlled mass Media)

Mr. Biden, your job should you choose to accept it, is to advance turmoil in the Middle East with the possible destruction of the Jewish nation. The “Show Me Where He Touched You” doll will destruct in 30 seconds. Be sure to put it down, Joe. Yes, that’s right. Put it down and back away. Mission Impossible has sure chosen an idiot for this task . . .

Terrorists kill Israelis - crickets chirping.
Israel kills terrorists - frantic calls for peace.

“Israeli airstrikes brought mass evacuations and funerals to Gaza, and as Hamas rockets singed Israeli towns”


Please note the language used. “Israeli airstrike bring mass evacuations and funerals” while Hamas rocket merely “singe” Israeli towns. The message is clear. Israel is murderous and Hamas is a victim.

Israel has “enriched” itself with too much diversity. Sounds like a familiar problem.

When you launch a thousand rockets at Israeli civilians, there is not going to be “calm” until Hamas is taken out or the IDF runs out of ammo. I put my money on the former...

“As to the “Palestinians:” nits make lice, kill ‘em all.”

Then bomb and shell the ground until one stone does not set upon another. Then make the rubble bounce for a month. Then cover every inch with napalm.
Let there be no question.
Leave no doubt.

Somebody answer this question, please. What is stopping Israel just once and for all turning the Gaza into a giant parking lot? A big drive-in movie theater?
