War in Israel

[Hardcore troubadour 15,445]

War is hell. Shouldn’t start any. 

[The Real timschochet 6,773]

Look this is not a good situation. I don’t believe Israel is conducting this war consistent with American values. Seems like many of the Israelis feel this way as well. The problem is Netanyahu. I think Biden needs to cut off aid.

What a load of crap.  Every poll I've seen since October shows the majority of Israelis support eradicating Hamas and have no problem with what Netanyahu is doing, and on the other side every poll I've seen shows the majority of Palestinians support Hamas and believe they've done nothing wrong.  This is really a pretty simple situation, and it should be easy to pick a side.  Those who oppose Israel are disgusting people IMO.  Welcome to the club oh disgusting one.

That isn’t true. I have very close ties to Israel including family members. This whole situation is very important to me.

You’re correct that the majority of Israelis feel that way. But many don’t, and that is what I wrote. It is anything but a simple situation. Israel is not eradicating Hamas and they appear to have no plan as to when this war ends and how it ends. This war is making Israel less safe not more.

Apparently you guys have learned nothing from our disastrous wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, and Israel has learned nothing from its previous occupations. It’s so frustrating and tragic to see history repeat itself over and over.

Yes, both things can be true.  But it's dumb to say that "many" Israelis don't feel like Netanyahu is conducting this war consistent with "American values."  Guess what Tim?  Israel isn't America.  They have their own values, many of which overlap with ours.  But one of theirs is a clear line having to do with defending themselves.  Apparently, if Biden represents "American values", our values are to let anyone who wants to walk in to our country, commit all sorts of crimes, squat in people's homes, and do nothing about it.  If those are our values give me Israeli values all day long. 

But taking a large country and saying "many" people disagree with something is pretty much moronic.  How many is many?  It would be almost impossible NOT to be able to make that statement.  Let me ask you a simple question.  Do you think it's fair to say that "many" American don't believe Biden's policies are consistent with American values?  Yes or no will suffice.

I think maybe 40% of Israelis disagree with how Netanyahu is handling this war. Thats many. I think that number will grow. 
 

You’ll have to be be more specific about Biden. He has a high disapproval rate but it’s divided in lots of different subjects.

You think?  Your "thoughts" are not consistent with the polling I've seen.  And you can't answer a simple yes/no question where the answer is obvious.  OBVIOUS.  Would be for ANY President.  Because we are a large country.  There will ALWAYS be "many" people who think the President isn't acting consistent with "American values" whatever the fock that means.  The fact that you can't answer a question with as obvious an answer as " what is 2+2"  is very telling.    And tiring.

Intelligence information gathering about all U.S. citizen hostage locations and movements, stealth helicopters, seal team(s), get in, get our citizens, get out.

Yeah OK. This isn’t 24, guy. You want me to shut up, but you need to get real. 
 

The truth is that when Trump as President was met with a crisis he did what he’s done his entire life- crawl under the bed, refuse to make any decisions, and look for people to blame. No reason to believe he would have acted differently this time. At least in Biden we have a leader who tries to act responsiblity and isn’t a pu$$y.

Whats tiring is your black and white views that have no bearing on reality. Netanyahu is allowing for the deaths of innocent people in order to stay in power. He’s not defeating Hamas. He’s making Israel less safe. Your willingness to support him whatever he does is, frankly idiotic.

Why are people still talking about a two state solution when the Palestinians have consistently rejected that? From the river to the sea isn’t a meaningless chant.

Because not every Palestinian has rejected it and because it’s still the only solution that is viable. Ultimately Israel cannot survive without a state of Palestine.

Exactly this. The Palestinians are savage 3rd World refugees. 

Can you imagine if Mexico or Canada was constantly lobbing mortars & missiles into The United States? We would level Mexico. How can anyone be against Isreal in this?

But at some point Netanyahu is going to be forced to hold an election. That election will be, in effect, a referendum of his actions in Gaza. Then we will know.

You need to study a little Palestinian history. 
Seriously you are letting Trump’s bigotry (calling whole groups of people savages and animals) rub off on you. It’s sad and frankly very un-American.

It's a sad state of affairs when people alter images or other more heinous uses of deep fakes to misrepresent politicians or political actors or anyone else. Photoshopping is easy for people who aren't me. You may recall the Johnny Cash recording of him singing the Barbie theme song was funny and harmless (and incredibly impressively done!). It also really drove home just how dangerous this can be in the hands of nefarious political actors, who can make Trump or Biden or in this case Greta Thunberg say whatever it is they want.

Agreed. I don’t even especially like Greta Thunberg. But this was just stupid.

Ok.  You think bringing in millions of uneducated, unvaccinated unvetted Illegals from all over the world is nothing but upside. You also believe that we should listen to a 12 year old and let them get a sex change operation or else they might kill themselves.  And I’m delusional. Have another drink.
