So you want America to intervene? Right?

I merely posted a news update to the number of American dead and the unknown number of missing in this war. From that you extrapolate that I want America to intervene? Sideways thinking you have there, bud.

All of us should be informed as to what our disgusting pResident has caused through his fecklessness.

“Biden can’t confirm he shat today.”

The press will breathlessly describe his next effort.

Exactly correct except I'd add the bold part: "all Palestinian Authority building, all Hamas buildings, and all buildings in which any members of Hamas live or work anywhere in the world."

But the people running Biden won't let him do that.

I’m open to that.

Maybe if you read the Bible a little more you might not be so ignorant about Israel

WWIII is not that palatable to me.

In my opinion we are already in the first steps of WWIII. Nipping it in the bud is our only option.

Our attacking them would probably bring their violence right to our door.

Afraid that's inevitable now what with the jihadist attitude and our open borders. Even if we let Hamas et al destroy Israel, they'd simply make us the next target. Only chance we have is to strike fast and hard now. And it may already be too late for that, but at least it is a chance.

Note: “Even if we let Hamas et al destroy Israel...” was a hypothetical. God simply will not allow Israel to be destroyed. Hurt? Yes, as we see. Destroyed? Nope.

I believe the U.S. government, as a matter of policy, does not accept any obligations to protect dual citizens who choose to live in another country of citizenship.

Tourists and travelers are one thing, but any U.S.-Israeli dual citizen who was abducted or killed over there are a different matter. They shouldn't even be considered "U.S. citizens" in this context.

I clicked on the story. It reads as if a third grader had composed it, and it has an attribution of 3 “reporters.”

Anyway, the headline says that Biden has confirmed that there are 11 dead Americans, and the body of this excerpt repeats this, But when I looked at the piece I learned that it is the State Department that has verified the number of dead Americans.

Idiots.

Galatians 6

16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

WE are Israel, as believers in Jesus Christ

Asked if someone can prove it’s true he shrugged and said “Depends.”

They've already brought "their violence right to our door". Remember 9/11? Are you aware that they've been pouring into our country by the thousands through the open southern border? Biden should be executed for his treason, along with Mayorkas and the other stooges responsible for this.

Earlier I remember the Daniel Pearl story of him on his knees made to declare he was Jewish which he did and then being silenced by the gurgling blood in his throat.

Bio. from Wikipedia——
Daniel Pearl was an American journalist who worked for The Wall Street Journal. On January 23, 2002, he was kidnapped near a restaurant in downtown Karachi and murdered by terrorists in Pakistan.

Pearl’s kidnapping was carried out by Islamist militants after Pearl had gone to Pakistan as part of an investigation into the alleged links between British citizen Richard Reid (known as the “Shoe Bomber”) and al-Qaeda. On February 1, 2002 Pearl was beheaded by his captors, who later released a video of his brutal execution.

Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, a British national of Pakistani origin, was sentenced to death by hanging for Pearl’s abduction and murder in July 2002,but his conviction for murder was overturned by a Pakistani court on April 2, 2020.

Man Accused Of Killing Daniel Pearl Ordered To Be Freed.
NPR
Jan 28, 2021 — Journalist Daniel Pearl’s beheaded body was found in a shallow grave in the Pakistani port city of Karachi in 2002.

Why is Hamas committing the sort of atrocities that will provoke voters to demand an overreaction? Are they really that proud or stupid, or...?

1000 tomahawk missiles inbound to Gaza and Lebanon as a prize. Also JDAMs, and US/NATO SOF. Plus Israeli assets.

Oh, but what about the U.S. financing Ukrainian citizens who aren't even dual citizens, even paying the costs of running their government and their PENSIONS? That's OK, because they're not Jews, right?

Sadly... Given the brutality of these savage terrorist, most of those captured probably wish they were already dead and if they do manage to survive their their nightmares will be horrific and long lasting.

Given the choice, most would likely choose to see their captures killed rather than negotiated with.

Sweep up the streets of Gaza, find these sadistic terrorist and give them what they truly deserve. If you manage to save some hostages... Bonus.
