My position is that Hamas is more responsible for what's happening to the Palestinian people today than Israel is.Mrkelly » 16 Oct 2023, 10:24 am » wrote: ↑ say Israel “levels” Gaza
as many here and politicians have called for
and they do just that
and they kill 2 million civilians
maybe 1 million of those are children
who would you consider “more evil”
if you get the chance

If you ran up and poked a sleeping bear with a stick and the bear started tearing your arms and legs off, then its kinda disingenuous to say the bear is in the wrong for tearing your arms and legs off.
I think what is happening to the Palestinians is atrocious and horrible, just like it was when it happened to the innocent Israelis. My point is from what I'm seeing today, right now... Hamas is more responsible for what it happening to the Palestinians today than Israel is.
If Hamas hadn't sent 1500 or so radicals into Israeli neighborhoods to kill or kidnap everything that was breathing, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. Just the way I see it.
I agree that two wrongs don't make a right, but it's hard to just stand there and let the other side bloody your nose and not hit back too.Mrkelly » 16 Oct 2023, 11:04 am » wrote: ↑ Two wrongs don’t make a right
Hamas is more reasonable for what’s happening to the Palestinians today
but not for all of Palestines history
Israel is hardly a sleeping bear
or innocent
This doesnt seem innocent....Mrkelly » 16 Oct 2023, 11:04 am » wrote: ↑ Two wrongs don’t make a right

I was thinking the other day, this Country fought an absolutely bloody and horrific five year Civil war just a little over a 150 years ago, but today, there is almost zero hostility between the opposing sides of that conflict among the populous of this Country.
I have to believe it was because there was a clear victor, with the opposing side capitulating completely... and that would be the only thing that would settle this crap in the M.E.
I just don't ever see that happening over there in this ****. Neither "side" is innocent in this conflict. All I'm saying is that what is happening today, right now, lays way more at Hamas' feet than it does Israel's.
How much of that land was taken after the Arabs attacked Israel and ended up getting their asses kicked?Sumela » 16 Oct 2023, 11:13 am » wrote: ↑ This doesnt seem innocent....

But Im no map expert.
The blood of every dead Palestinian is on the hands of Palestinian-Hamas.

Hint: Nearly all of it
That's the way war works.
Hell, Israel held the Sinai peninsula, the West Bank, the Golan Heights and Gaza in the aftermath of the 1967 conflict... but ended up giving most of it back in the name of peace.
So much for that.
It's also important to keep in mind this brutal & lethal attack by Hamas was not limited to Israeli victims..... To date 30 of those murdered were US Citizens -- with another 13 unaccounted for , and presumed being held hostage... Hamas has not shown itself to be remotely reasonable, and I am actually surprised they have not released those Americans, along with some sort of statement saying they were not an intended target and were mistakenly apprehended..Mrkelly » 16 Oct 2023, 11:04 am » wrote: ↑ Two wrongs don’t make a right

Correct... The winner in a war draws borders and dictates terms -- not the losers...RedheadedStranger » 16 Oct 2023, 11:46 am » wrote: ↑ How much of that land was taken after the Arabs attacked Israel and ended up getting their asses kicked?

You're maps all wrong. See that little green strip along the south-western coast? That's no longer Palestinian. It's New Miami.Sumela » 16 Oct 2023, 11:13 am » wrote: ↑ This doesnt seem innocent....

So, the Israelis are rubes and HAMAS has played them out of pocket brilliantly? And you figured this out all by yourself?RedheadedStranger » 16 Oct 2023, 7:41 am » wrote: ↑ What do you think Hamas' motives were for attack innocent woman and children and grabbing hostages was?
Do you think Hamas really expected the Israelis to pack up and leave the region after the attack last week?
No... they expected Israel to return fire in spades and kill Palestinians so the Arab world would unite with them against Israel. Hamas had used this tactic since it's inception.
Hamas wants dead Palestinians. Hell, they need them.
