    Weird. Very Weird. So, I go to see where the PF Current Events thread is on Schumer's denunciation of Netanyahu is, sort by thread creation time and I clear the ignored content: and nothing.

    No one posted about this?

    https://thehill.com/policy/international/4535510-democratic-anger-over-israel-biden-schumer/

    No DFT supporter railed about it?

    No Biden supporter or D championed this?

    Ok, like I wrote up top: weird.

    Effing Schumer 110% nailed this rebuke of the criminal Netanyahu.

    My guess is that would be because it was a half assed rebuke that isn’t worth mentioning if you disagree with it and didn’t go nearly far enough for those who do agree.

    Schumer wants Netanyahu to play nice with the terrorists or else get ousted by someone who will. Amazing story.

    his side didn’t rape, mutilate, murder and kidnap innocent women and children. Is that not a crime?

    One could post (far more recent) a map of the Aztec empire and say something equally silly.
    Should it become just one state? If it did it would be majority Muslim wouldn’t it?

    I am grateful to live where criticizing government is not a crime. This is not a luxury enjoyed by those living under Muslim rule. These poor people are victims of their own leadership.

    Sadly it’s more than just Hamas that is suffering

    The people suffering are Palestinians who belong to Hamas, and Palestinians who support Hamas.

    During the Second World War Germans who were not Nazi Party members suffered.

    my great great great great Grandparents owned land too, it's mine

    I think we can all support Israel while at the same time not supporting starving and killing innocent Gaza citizens, it's not one or the other

    I also think we can all condemn Hamas

    Nothing new about American politicians throwing Israel under the bus for political gain. Elections are coming, and the Democrats are desperate for the Muslim vote.

    The vast majority of Jewish members of congress have been democrats. Probably governors and mayors too.

    I have not seen that Israel has raped or kidnapped innocent women or children. So you got that right.

    But as for mutilating and murdering innocent women and children …

    “As of 12 February 2024, UN Women reports that at least 28,340 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, and 70 per cent of those killed are said to be women and children. 67,984 Palestinians have been injured.”

    https://www.ohchr.org/en/statements...ry 2024,67,984 Palestinians have been injured.

    Thousands of women and children killed. Tens of thousands injured. It is hard to defend or justify that, even after the cowardly and reprehensible Hamas attacks.

    Yes, and the Hansburg fires(and Dredsen) is considered an Allies War Crime. But of course the tribunal wasn't set up to try war crimes equally, just the losers.

    It's simple, don't support war crimes no matter the side or justification. I don't mind Israel obliterating Hamas, but it must stop targeting human civilian populations.

    Are you saying that all Palestinians in Gaza either belong to Hamas or support Hamas?

    Apparently, you're new to this topic as early Nazi trained and armed Zionist terrorist gangs even bayonetted pregnant women in the abdomen.(1), (2)
    Today's Zionist terrorists (aka IDF) are no better as cowardly and trigger happy IDFers even shoot half naked hostages waving white flags and machine gun starving, wounded, sick and homeless civilians.

    In an intercepted radio transmission, one IDF "hero" admits that:
    "...maybe I killed a girl, she was 12, but I'm looking for a baby." (3)

    I'll bet that within a year from now you'll be ashamed to admit that you blindly supported another genocide.

    (1) “Deir Yasin Massacre, 09.04.1948”
    https://www.countercurrents.org/alhelsi100410.htm

    EXCERPT " One of the worst Zionist massacres committed against Palestinians is the Deir Yasin massacre. Defenceless Palestinian civilians were tortured before being massacres and their bodies mutilated. Women and children were raped, babies were butchered and pregnant women were bayoneted." CONTINUED


    (2) "Jenin Is Typical Of Israeli Behavior"
    https://www.arabnews.com/node/220259

    EXCERPT "A chilling account of the massacre is given by a Red Cross doctor who arrived at the village on the second day and saw himself — the mopping up as one of the terrorists put it to him. He says that the mopping up- had been done with machine guns, then grenades and finished of with knives. Women’s bellies were cut open and babies were butchered in the hands of their helpless mothers. Around 250 people were murdered in cold blood. Of them 25 pregnant women were bayoneted in the abdomen while still alive. 52 children were maimed under the eyes of their own mothers, and they were slain and their heads cutoff. The Jewish Agency and the commander of the British ground troops knew of the massacre while it was going on, however, no one intervened to stop it." CONTINUED


    (3) "Israeli soldier says he possibly killed a 12-year-old girl"
    https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/2...r-says-he-possibly-killed-a-12-year-old-girl/

    EXCERPT "In a leaked video call, an Israeli soldier nonchalantly says, ‘maybe I killed a girl, she was 12, but I'm looking for a baby.’ Israeli forces have killed over 20,000 Palestinians since the start of its military offensive on Gaza on 7 October. Nearly half of those deaths are children." CONTINUED

    I think Israel is leaning too much into the military campaign, when that part of this "operation" should be closing, and focusing on the political aftermath. The world understood the initial response, but the continued attack is clearly having diminished results.

    Yes, Hamas is causing great suffering for all. If their power was able to reach this far, you and I would be suffering as well.

    Defending every word a politician says is something Trump apologists do, but others are not so much into such activity. What would be the point? From what I see Biden has bent over backwards supporting Israel, although it seems clear the hostilities are never going to end, not even when the current Gaza campaign ends

    I read some article recently about this "drag show for Palestine" that was going to be held at a library. The library canceled it when they learned what happens to LBGT folks in Palestine.
    You gotta love how silly these people are. Without the left, where would our entertainment come from??

    This is why Palestinian leadership places innocent women and children in harms way. They are being used as pawns to fight the PR war against Israel. They attack innocent civilians, then hide behind women and children to make it appear that Israel is the bad guy. Its a win-win for Hamas. Either Israel doesn't fight, or they have a body count.

    If only they cared about their people as much as they hated Jews.

    Palestinian leadership has been putting their own children in harms way for many years. Nothing new here. If you want to bring naziism into the discussion, I will remind you that the region outside Israel has already been cleansed of Jews, Christians, atheists, gay people, non-Muslims, and those critical of religion/government.

    Anyone can pull up propaganda from anti-Israel sites.
