Yes they have. https://www.ynetnews.com/article/sy0ttfg11jg https://www.timesofisrael.com/authorities-identify-three-of-four-killed-in-iranian-missile-attack-on-beersheba/ https://www.npr.org/2024/09/08/g-s1-21433/3-israelis-killed-shooting-west-bank-jordan-border-crossing https://nypost.com/2025/06/14/world-news/iran-fires-another-round-of-missiles-at-israel-and-explosions-are-heard-in-tehran/ That last one is Iran but gotta consider it a result of the current war. See @jerryskids, I don’t only post links from Hamas Harry…

Can you remind me of your opinion on the Ukraine war again?

Have they given an estimate for when it’s going to be “complete”? It’s been almost 2 years already

I didn’t say it was the “fundamental problem,” I said that’s an option, which IMO would be better than just shooting first and asking questions later. Maybe that’s where the US could help by sending in a specialized team. I don’t know why you guys think people that disagree with what Israel is doing need to have the solution anyway. Is what they’re doing working? If not, then yeah, I don’t see what’s wrong with saying “I don’t know what they should be doing, but it’s not this.”

I also said they should torture them to find the hostages, so maybe they should capture them instead of killing them (+ civilians)

It gives terrorists less motivation to attack the US at least. And again, I think it also gives Netanyahu motivation to end the war on his own (to your most recent post, I never said to end the war today, I was saying Israel should end it on their own timeline but without our help). Speaking of which, there has been some speculation that part of the reason Netanyahu is dragging the war out is to avoid his own prosecution, so another option that might help (even if it doesn’t solve everything) is ousting him. As far as what they can do to end the war, no I don’t know exactly. I imagine they could probably torture some Hamas dudes to find out where the hostages are, and/or find out where the Hamas leaders are and kill them. Of course one option that could help is to give the Palestinians a state, and help them set up a new government that’s not Hamas. Israel is probably never going to be safe from potential terror attacks, so I don’t think that’s really a reasonable outcome to expect, since it’s been that way since they’ve existed.

Well for one Netanyahu is currently being emboldened by the fact that we’re supporting him. Take away his piggy bank and he might actually try to end the war quicker. Maybe a lot of Gazans still die, but we need the war to end. I also think it helps “solve” the backlash from Americans, which somehow @jerryskids thinks is making it more difficult to defeat Hamas. Part of the issue many have is that we’re helping fund this. If we’re no longer funding it, then that takes away that argument at least.

My wife recently watched the whole series of a Handmaid’s tale. I watched some of it, but never noticed her in it…

I think we can start with the US stopping funding anything other than the humanitarian aid.

I think “working with” and “involved with” Hamas are fair descriptions. I’d disagree with calling it a “Hamas shill” though. But even if they were working with Hamas, that doesn’t mean food wasn’t still getting to Palestinian civilians. Still, because of the Hamas involvement, in theory the effort to replace them as primary aid providers make sense. But Netanyahu literally admitted Israel is only giving “minimal” aid, and the reports of starvation deaths are only increasing, so it definitely seems the food situation was better before the GHF got involved. And spare me “it’s just propaganda to make Israel look bad!” They still could have tried to blame any starvation on Israel even before the GHF got involved

I think I realized something about her. She does have a bit of a droopy face, but her face looks much better when she smiles. Of course her face is not her biggest asset though

Couldn’t they have done that in a few weeks, and not over 2 years, which probably would have resulted in less civilian casualties than currently despite Hamas not having been eliminated?

Just last week the IDF admitted to shooting at a crowd at an aid truck and killing people. They say the crowd was trying to steal from the truck. Maybe they were, but that’s still extremely dangerous for the people trying to distribute the aid. https://www.yahoo.com/news/israel-ground-forces-enter-central-125947152.html

The protest(s?) in Israel are a good callout and something I haven’t seen covered much here. Really puts a dent in the asinine claim that “criticizing Israel is anti-Semitic.” Article from Times of Israel below. And the protest was peaceful, no arrests. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/thousands-in-tel-aviv-rally-against-gaza-war-demand-to-stop-the-starvation/ Check the link above. Looks like mostly Jews to me. The guy in the x post also makes a good point that I’ve heard elsewhere. If they continue killing/starving civilians, it probably will lead to more attacks against Israel and possibly even Jews outside of Israel. The way the war is being handled by Israel currently is not a good thing for the Jewish people.

I believe Treason is the only possible charge

Do you believe that the current starvation situation in Gaza is better than when UNRWA was providing the aid?

I think there’s about a 1% chance there will be any indictments. Most potential charges are past the statute of limitations

I guess we’re using the official White House x account for private business advertising now https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1950128029612626231

Apparently this isn’t uncommon. In 2023 an Israeli with a military-issued rifle was caught on video charging and then shooting a Palestinian. He has not been charged. https://zeteo.com/p/israeli-settler-violence-palestinian-masafer-yatta

Israeli settler murders Palestinian activist. Shooter had been previously sanctioned by Biden but sanctions were removed by Trump. https://x.com/infinite__jaz/status/1949885817113235968 https://ofac.treasury.gov/recent-actions/20250124

They don’t deny it, they just say it’s 100% Hamas’s fault

Looks like was targeting NFL. Blamed CTE for his mental health issues and wanted his brain to be studied (shot himself in the chest) (he never played in the Canadian Football League though as some have claimed, supposedly didn’t play past high school) https://nypost.com/2025/07/29/us-news/nyc-gunman-shane-tamura-reportedly-found-with-note-hinting-at-possible-motive-for-park-ave-skyscraper-shooting-sources/ https://www.newsweek.com/nfl-hq-shooting-shane-devon-tamura-2105467

Do people actually think when someone says “defund the police” they mean no more police?
