Anyone who claims that what they are saying is the truth is usually wrong.

Israel’s military was aware of Hamas ' plan to launch an attack on Israeli soil over a year before the devastating Oct. 7 operation that killed hundreds of people, The New York Times reported Friday. It was the latest in a series of signs that top Israeli commanders either ignored or played down warnings that Hamas was plotting the attack, which triggered a war against the Islamic militant group that has devastated the Gaza Strip. https://apnews.com/article/new-york-times-hamas-attack-israel-gaza-6088cad78f5e4153d671fe9b5b819308

Yes, all of it was inevitable. The precise nature and details could not have been predicted by anybody but that a terrorist attack would likely occur was inevitable. The attack did not come out of the blue for everybody. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/22/why-hamas-murderous-attack-on-israel-was-predictable

I agree that October 7th was inevitable.

Some things are inevitable. And easily spotted as such. Do you honestly believe that me say "He was killed as part of a genocide" is either a contravention of the rules or was a claim to fact like a number or a current even which required a link. Or a comment which could even have a link?

I won't be the last person to say he was killed in airstrikes which were widely regarded as genocide. It was after all, my opinion.

Your constant call for links are harassment. The tell is that my posts are rarely, if ever, taken down for lack of a link. On occasion I have seen them removed for the link not being acceptable but never for the lack of a link.

Star struck? It's Republicans who are star struck, Trump is a reality TV star, that's his name recognition. Biden got there because 40 years in the senate. Dems aren't so interested in personality politics, they tend to vote the issues. Republicans can't elucidate the issues because they all get back to racism so they need to rely on famous racists who dog whistle their intentions.

From here on in you are going to see a great deal of discussion in the MSM about whether these air raids and the use of indiscriminate bombing constituted genocide. I predict a drastic reduction in the use of 2,000 bombs along with wording like "we have achieved our military objectives". The obligations concomitant with the ICJ directions like allowing humanitarian assistance, including fuel in to Gaza will require a sea change in military operations anyway. The immediate tell will be whether the destruction of hospitals continues. Israel has to report within 30 days. Let's see how that pans out.

with age comes wisdom.

You can't connect two dots. Engage in pedantry all you like but the commentators on the war in Gaza are entitled to characterise it as genocide. It's now an open question so the accusation is as apropros as the denial.

The ICJ has accepted that these airstrikes in general may constitute prima facie evidence of genocide. Deal with it.

There already was an investigation. They are normally followed up by a more extensive investigation after the problem has been remedied as a postmortem. Standard practice. Are you really tryoing to imply that there was no investigation at all? Really?

Lots of governments are freely elected bu tare the political representatives.

How is it not common sense? You're constantly relying on pedantry as a defense. How is it humanly possible for an organisation like this to fire anyone without an investigation, even if that's a preliminary examination of evidence provided?

are you advocating violence? Looks that way.

So, prove that they do investigate. Conclusion: non issue. The agency is taking care of it. No need to destroy them. Meantime the employees were fired AFTER being investigated.

Do you imagine that democrat states don't contain Trumpians?

I only need to look in the mirror every day to know they do. You said millions.

How did they manage to fire employees without an investigation?

Millions of hippies? This isn't 1968.

Unless you're guilty of course.

Almost all of them are trump sympathisers. Almost none of them are Biden sympathisers.

Why? How are they related. Republicans don't have the guts to support a clean bill. Their politics would be torn to shreds. They support Russia. Period. Traitors.
