...The Israeli government and people have little choice but to fight to eliminate Hamas. The reactionary Islamist group — financed, trained and armed by Tehran — put together an army of some 40,000 combatants.
Hamas thugs murdered 1,200 people in cold blood in Israel Oct. 7, mostly civilians, wounded more than 5,000 and took more than 240 hostage. The Islamist death squads raped, tortured and mutilated many of their victims. It was the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
They also abused, murdered or took hostage dozens of Arab, Thai, Nepalese, Filipino and African workers for the “crime” of working with Jews.
Israeli soldiers in Hamas-built tunnel in Khan Younis. Hamas ruled Gaza not to aid Palestinians, but for cover to build tunnels, store weapons and prepare attacks on Israel, like Oct. 7 pogrom.
More than 200 Israeli soldiers, including Bedouin Arab volunteers and Druze, have died since the Israel Defense Forces began its ground offensive in Gaza.
The Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health states that more than 25,000 Palestinians have been killed. While nothing Hamas says can be trusted — it still claims the hostages are well treated and denies its thugs raped and mutilated women and killed children — thousands of civilians have died. Israeli officials says more than 9,000 of those Gazans killed are armed fighters. Hamas maximizes civilian deaths
Unlike every other capitalist army in the world, the Israel Defense Forces makes efforts to get civilians out of combat zones. Hamas does the opposite. The terror group seeks to maximize the deaths of civilians by using them as human shields.

Much splintering happening on the Left.
The J Street lobby (funded by Soros) which keeps a careful eye on US policy.
J Street——The political home of pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy Americans
J street Lobby Policy on the US-Israel Special Relationship
J Street believes that maintaining a strong, vibrant US-Israel relationship is a core American interest. We want to see a secure, thriving Israel that is a healthy democracy, a national home for the Jewish people and a state for all its citizens that embodies the shared values that have long formed the heart of the special relationship between our two countries. We believe that American diplomatic leadership has an important role to play in helping to make this vision a reality, as does cooperation in (financing) Israel’s security, economic, technological, academic and civil society spheres.
WIKI-—Confidential IRS documents obtained by The Washington Times in 2010 showed that George Soros had been a donor to J Street since 2008. The approximately $750,000 from Soros and his family, together with donations from Hong Kong-based businesswoman Ms. Consolacion Esdicul, amounted to about 15% of J Street’s funding in its early years.
In previous statements and on its web site J Street had seemed to deny receiving support from foreign interests and from Soros.
Jeremy Ben-Ami apologized for earlier “misleading” statements regarding funding from Soros. Ben-Ami also clarified that donors to 501(c)(4) organizations are promised confidentiality by law and challenged critics to make public the contributors to opposing organizations.
Israel simply must eliminate Hamas, PLO=Abbas-Fatah, and Hezballah...once and for all. Not merely have them move further away but wipe them out...(As history teaches, Arafat went to Tunisia but then, guess what, the murdering skunk returned to Israel...)
Someone should send this to DNC HQ.
and Joe Biden said Israel went “over the top” in their actions in Gaza.
I don’t understand the mindset about Israel is supposed to hold back and only do a proportionate response to attack.
If we had that mindset in World War II , then in response to Pearl Harbor, we would have bombed a couple of Japanese ships or military bases, and that would have been the extent of our military action against Japan.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
I despise Jew-haters. That said, I have serious doubts about whether Israel has a “right to exist “. By Israel I mean the political entity of course, not the people, and yes I do perceive an important distinction.
“Unlike every other capitalist army in the world, the Israel Defense Forces makes efforts to get civilians out of combat zones.”
Ridiculous propaganda. It’s obvious Israel is trying to kill as many civilians as possible. Everybody can see what’s going on over there. Only a certain segment of freepers could possibly believe such nonsense that they are trying to spare civilians. Netanyahu is attempting to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
You appear to believe innocent Palestinian civilians were in the Hamas tunnel network.
Flood that system until water squirts out of the ground, throughout Gaza, I say!
Netenyahi is too cautous.
No one cares. I am a real American.
I’ve said nothing about innocent Palestinians being in tunnels.
Yes you are right
Netanyahu is bombing refugee camps for God’s sakes. 2/3’s of those killed are woman and children. Some of you people seem to be living in a delusional world of your own making. Israel’s actions are harming US interests in the region in case you haven’t noticed. Try living in reality for a change.
Do you condemn Hamas actions of October 7th? Are you aware that all of the military actions are because Hamas started this war? Or do you overlook that and only condemn Israel?
Of course Israel had a right to respond to Oct7. But they chose to respond by indiscriminately bombing civilians and purposely creating a humanitarian disaster. I certainly don’t support this (nobody in their right mind would) and neither should the US government.
So, we now know you believe Israel is slaughtering innocents only above ground.
Can you give us legitimate insight as to your predilection?
We firebombed Tokyo. FAFO. “Palestinians” deserve everything they get.
Did you miss the part where 2/3’s of those killed were woman and children? Like I’ve said some of you people are just delusional.
