“If you wanted or if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons.”—Joe Biden, June 2021

How many hundreds of the Palestinian casualties are Hamas operatives....I suspect most of them.

I would like him to find a war in the past in which there were no casualties. Outside of an armchair university think tank discussion of hypotheticals.

One good couplet I heard from Dan Bongino’s guest host today (his regular assistant):

If Hamas laid down their arms and made a promise to not hit Israel again and kept the promise, there would be lasting peace.
If Israel laid down their arms and wouldn’t attack Hamas, Israel would be annihilated within a week.

There is no state army to fight. They are civilians in civilian clothes, housed and quartered in homes, schools, hospitals, and mosques, along with their weapons caches.

So how does Israel extricate the enemy army without harming those in homes, schools, hospitals, mosques???

Let's not forget that the one they claim to be the greatest man that ever lived, MadMo, INSTRUCTED his followers to take SEX SLAVES of females that he warred against, who would not 'convert'.

Hamass is just following their prophet's profit's instructions.

PedoJoe Biteme and his band of satanic SOBs, should just FOAD! The sooner the better, as they can quickly meet their 'god', satan.

There are too many J6 protesters unfairly in jail. The number needs to be zero.

There were also too many civilian casualties on January 6. The number needed to be zero.

The double-standard is laughable when you realize that with all the complete carnage going on in other parts of the world, the ‘international community’ is taking the time to scold Israel and the IDF for taking out a falafel stand.

“Kirby also stated that there have been too many civilians killed in Gaza and the number of civilian casualties ‘needs to be zero.’”

A statement like this is so utterly stupid and out of reality they display a complete lack of intelligence about war.

Here they are blaming Israel for doing exactly what we did in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. We bombed Germany and Japan during WW II hitting civilian industries in both countries. People were killed. We almost leveled North Korea and hammered Hanoi. In WWII, an estamated 55 million service members and civilians died and there were 3 million civilians only in North Korea killed not including military during that event.

Starting on July 14, 1945, U.S. Navy carrier and warships joined U.S. Army B-29’s in direct attacks on the Japanese Home Islands. These direct strikes were aimed at Japanese industry. By the end of July, American forces, assisted by a task force from the Royal Navy, effectively eliminated the Japanese navy, further reducing their already depleted merchant marine And destroyed most of their industry capacity while killing millions.

This is how wars are fought. You can’t surgically remove the bad element in the country so you have to punish the people for making the mistake of allowing them to take over and turn them into safe haven and people tortured and killed as human shields.

You have to make the country want them out. If they don’t, the problem won’t stop until the place is level and you won’t get the bad elemet at that time as they will leave the country as they have done already in Gaza. The head of the snake has fleed while the body keep hitting people.

There was a peace agreement- at least up UNTIL Oct 7- Israel didn’t break the peace agreement- Hamas AND their supporters broke it! They and their supporters and enablers can now Reap the Israeli whirlwind!

Man pokes a mother bear with stick, bear ignores it- man keeps on aggravating and assaulting and bear is still patient- man continues by slaughtering the bear’s cubs right in front of her... The ONLY thing left to say to the man is “Reap the whirlwind!”

Zero huh? Just like in every other war and conflict the US has fought? The US needs to STFU and stay in their lane.

You could stop funding both sides and see if that helps.

True.
They’re also forgetting the civilian casualties on October 7.
And Obama’s civilian casualties, and Bidens.

I read that our civilian to fighter ratio was 9 to 1 or 6 to 1; Israelis are fighting at 1 or 2 to 1.

Is Biden fighting to set up system like those of the Israelis so that in the future our civilian to fighter casualty rate will be as low as theirs?

LGB (by which I mean...)
