    Were all the Jews kept in a single location with freedom on the other side of a wall with nobody who is going to mow them down if they try to climb it and plenty of materials to do just that?

    For someone who says logic so much you don’t seem to have any grasp of it

    Hitler allowed his concentration camps to be supplied with all the food and medicine the prisoners needed to survive from international sources?

    The Israelis will and have done so before. Israel does not respect international borders.
    Oh wait, I used it with you - my bad. I don't really care what you think.

    Wow! Thank you for admitting that Israel is running Nazi-style concentration camps!

    You heard it here first. Tipper101 now says Israel runs Nazi-style concentration camps.

    Thank you Tipper101 for finally admitting this.

    Now you are mistaking a question as a statement. No doubt as a desperate tactic to avoid a direct answer to a comparison that you brought up. Oh that comparison is wildly inaccurate at every level? Well don’t bring that up to Bob, he’ll BS all day long with his made up straw men

    No. Unlike Israel would love to do. Men with guns blocking your entry is effective. No?

    It is truly amazing and at the same time very sad.

    So being faced with certain death, 2.3 million Palestinians are going to lie down and accept that death because they see guns in the hands of Egyptian soldiers?

    That’s not how desperation works

    Here’s a fun exercise for the gippers, Bobs, Josh’s, of the forum who believe Palestinians are facing genocide and annihilation but are too stupid to even attempt to escape it:

    Look back on all your posts and quote for us one time you’ve complained about the immorality of Egypt in being perfectly capable of letting these people survive genocide but is instead making them sit there and die.

    quote it. Link it. I’d love to see some actual logical consistency out of any of you, and not just wildly apparent anti-semitism disguised as humanitarianism concerns

    Civilians by definition, are defenseless. Thinking one million Pali children and hundreds of thousands of women are armed and ready for battle, is silly.

    unarmed and defenseless are two entirely different things

    Egypt indeed could and should open it's borders and build refugee camps for Gazans fleeing the devastation from Israel. Not doing so is pretty heartless.

    I do not know what opening Egypt's Gazan border would do to the relationship between Egypt and Israel, or by extension Egypt and the US. I suspect one of the reasons Egypt keeps Gazans from passing into it is due to an agreement not to with Israel, but I may be wrong about that.

    I am not convinced of genocide, but I do believe the Netanyahu regime sustained itself off of the slow ethnic cleansing of the west bank, and off of the existence and belligerence of Hamas. Netanyahu often claimed he had no partner in peace, but peace would have meant him losing power. He had a partner in mutual belligerence, as he and Hamas' actions sustained one another and kept doves, both Israeli and Palestinian, at bay.

    Yeah! Palestinian toddlers have their poop to throw at the Israeli tanks! Not defenceless at all.

    It is impossible to "carpet bomb" with "bunker buster bombs". You really don't know what you are talking about. "Carpet bombing" consists of a massive area bombardment when you are unable to pinpoint targets or are unable to attack your targets with precision. The whole idea of "carpet bombing" is to wipe out a large area because you are unable to hit targets with precision.

    "Bunker busters" are weapons which hit a specific target with a high degree of precision, destroying a particularly well protected point.

    "Carpet bombing with bunker buster bombs" is a nonsensical statement. Carpet bombing is done with dumb "iron bombs". Precision bombing is done with "sensor fused weapons" or other precision weapons like JDAMS.

    Israel is not engaged in genocide. If they were, Gaza would be a wasteland by now. Israel is making was against the Hamas murderers, not a whole population.

    "Israeli controlled US media"? Wow... such hate and emotion.... awful stuff.

    lol. I do believe Egypt should allow the Gazans in because to not do so means Israel will continue the genocide of defenseless civilians.

    Do you really think Israel only uses bunker buster bombs and no other types of bombs? lol.

    Much of Gaza is destroyed now. Do you deny this?

    All I said is that "carpet bombing" does not employ "bunker busters". Carpet bombing is pretty much obsolete now, by the way.

    Japan was leveled when it bombed Pearl Harbor.

    Gaza got nailed when they raided Israel, killing innocent people at a festival, raping women, beheading babies, and wiping out whole families.

    Germany was devastated when it started WWII in Europ.

    That's what war does.

    Do you I understand what proportional response means?

    murdering and maiming tens of thousands and destroying a city is not a proportional response. It’s a war crime.

    Proportional Response" is a pre-war condition. When WAR is declared, its no holds barred condition. One doesn't "proportion" anything when national survival is at stake. The purpose of war is to destroy your enemy's ability to wage war. "Proportional response" is about "tit for tat"... not national survival.
