Irrelevant. Israel incorrectly thought Hamas wasn't a serious threat.

Bait ignored. You know Hamas expected bombing, they provoked it, they use human shields, thus logically they wanted it Why? Hamas is an Islamist terrorist organization. They don't think like westerners. They want to wipe out Israel and install an Isis like caliphate. They don't care at all about the earthy lives of their own people. They exploit their deaths for propaganda purposes to influence gullible westerners to support them and oppose Israel. It is completely impossible to negotiate peace with Hamas just as it was with Isis.

Anyone that believes that much of the pro Palestinian response is not about approval of Hamas including the pogrom would make great marks for buying the Brooklyn Bridge.

You're never fair. You're obsessed with demonizing Israel and pushing a they had it coming interpretation of the pogrom.

Hamas wanted this.

You're pushing a false equivalence. You lack moral clarity. You don't see the difference between the pogrom in south Israel and Israel going after military targets that tragically have human shields at them which is Hamas policy.

CASSANDRO This is simply a wonderful movie. Based on a true story but not a literal biography. Masterful performance by Gael Garcia Bernal. Nothing more to say.

Because the Arab world where most of them come from either doesn't want them at all or if they come they're stuck in refugee camps for generations. The faction that have old keys to houses in Israel generally have keys to nothing now. They should have accepted the UN partition.

This is naive bull. Israel needs to bomb Hamas targets first. It's on Hamas that they use their own people as human shields. Going into the tunnels is going to be one of the most difficult tasks in military history. Israel will take massive casualties regardless. But you're suggesting that they voluntarily take massively more casualties by not softening Hamas targets first with bombing. No other country would be expected to commit suicide like that!

So just leave terrorist Hamas in power after the October 7 pogrom? Does not compute.

OK. Thanks for sharing.

For discussion purposes you can.

Dream on.

Well it seems better than Cambodia anyway! I recently learned there is no Lazada or Shoppee in Cambodia.

Says you. Says most Palestinians -- all of Israel. You're insane if you actually believe there is very little antisemitism in the world. I'll let you enjoy your US political wet dreams. I get it that you hate Israel.

Everyone's situation is different.

Obviously there is no perfect solution for all. But a lot of the impoverished in the West retirees have incomes even as "much" as 1500 to 2000 a month. Yeah you could scrape by in cheapest areas with 2000 but living abroad you could be having a great life. But 1000 is more than OK to at least survive -- abroad in some places.

Of course you would say the "Israelis" had it coming.

Free Free Palestine! With what borders? How about freeing Palestine of ... HAMAS? This is about the underlying antisemitism inherent in the so very common Israel demonization rhetoric. It's not explicit but it's definitely there. There is no such thing as a ‘free Palestine’ (telegraph.co.uk) There is no such thing as a ‘free Palestine’ Israel has lost the PR game if dumb students are chanting for what Hamas wants – when Jews say they’re afraid, believe them

That's a myth. Most living like that are not mentally ill (but may become mentally ill because of the harsh conditions) and simply can't afford housing. Homelessness is solved by homes. The US doesn't offer affordable homes. Lower cost countries do if you have a basic western sourced income. Some western expats are living OK in Cambodia on 600 a month. I suggest more but that means there are options even for those with very low incomes (and of course setup and buffer money, etc.).

Or anyone paying attention.

I suppose you define "truth" in the same dishonest way that you define apartheid, war crimes, Zionism, occupation, "Free Palestine", etc. etc. Boychik, you don't own the truth.

Incoherent post ignored.

Yes and also Egypt and the rest of the Arab world doesn't want to touch them.

You could have commented that right after the UN partition passed many Arab countries immediately attacked. Arabs and Muslims have HOW MANY nations? Jews have the one tiny nation, yet the fanatical obsessive Israel demonizers are totally obsessed on making it's security unviable. But no, they're not antisemites. Perish the thought.
