I hope that is what will happen, but I don't think it is. I believe Israel will remain in control of Gaza from now on, and eventually, way down the road, just assimilate it into Israel the way they've done with all the other Palestinian land. We'll both just have to wait and see what happens.

I missed it because the situation in Israel/Gaza is not my primary concern right now. I'm busy doing many other things around my house, my properties, and also playing golf twice a week. I don't just sit in front of the TV and watch CNN. So, when I do, I see "snippets," and obviously did not see or notice the reports that the IDF has actually invaded with ground troops. I do remember seeing reports of them invading with tanks, but not platoons of soldiers.

But, it is how I describe them, and will continue to do so...

I think that post was almost a week ago, but it was well after the ground invasion started. LIke I said, I did not hear (or take notice of) the ground invasion when it started. When I posted, I thought the initial bombardment only was still continuing with only a few little "sneak" ventures into Gaza with soldiers.

This is all in the way you define "Zionist." I, as I have said many, many times before, define it as the faction that wants to completely occupy what used to be called Palestine. And within that faction, there are extremists who are not pro-peace. In fact, I assume most of them are not, and they want to completely control Palestine using whatever tactics they need to.

Yes, I thought they would just bombard Gaza with missiles, drones, and artillery before sending in troops. I did not know they had invaded with troops at the time of that post.

🥱 Again, no answer to my question. If you read any more of my posts, which you've said you wouldn't do, please read them carefully before responding, especially if you intend to respond with just insults and not actual comments on what I've written.

No, I wouldn't call Jews that oppose the current Israeli military actions in Gaza "anti-Semitic." In fact, if I had to use that term, I would call them "pro-Semitic," since they would seem to support non-violence against Palestinian civilians.

What! I checked this site out on its own site, and it came out "Least Biased." I'd expect you to agree with that. Are you reading my posts or just replying with insults? My sarcastic comment was it seems to me that you, btk Brian, Morch, and several others think you are also "Least Biased." What's trolling, lying, or dishonest about that?

Yes, and there are Zionist factions within Israel and Israelis. There are also peaceful factions. I don't know why you can't understand and admit this.

I am not "baiting" or trolling. I am just stating the truth. I post what I believe according to the sources I've seen and read. Most of the news on this subject has been on CNN. When I access the Internet for backup of something I write, I search for it and am not overly concerned with the source since I know the sources on the Internet is not something you can count on anyway.

btk, you misread my post (again). I checked out mediabiasfactcheck on its own site, not one of the sites I used.

Yes, I'm sure there are non-Zionist factions in Israel. But, they would not support Hamas. Those who support any agreement with Palestinians, like a two-state solution, or a one-state with equal citizenship, would not, IMO, be what I refer to as "Zionists."

And what makes you so sure your sources are the "truth"?

So that's not much considering the remaining population, and probably going nowhere at this pace....which they would be aware of. How does that fit with the rest of your narrative? Morch, If you are (I was) referring to my comment that the Zionist factions in Israel are moving forward to entirely take over Palestine, I mean they are proceeding as fast as they can without losing the support of their allies, like my country, the USA, who are already telling them to ease off a little. (According to the conspiracy-filled sources I listen to, like CNN )

They are opinions, so are yours. Neither are "facts." None of us know the "facts" for sure. We all just listen and read, and then form our opinions.

I agree, but this is what I read from the sources I visit or listen to on my TV (CNN). Also, I don't sit and read and listen to EVERYTHING they say. I just pick up snippets here and there, and that's enough for me to form an opinion and make some speculations. I know NOTHING I see or read can actually be counted on to be the truth, so I have to use my own judgment (not some other online source) on that. That's how I've operated my entire life and I'm not going to change that now.

I respect your comment this time, but wonder what you meant by "have knowledge about." Isn't your "knowledge about" this subject, Israel/Palestine, based on what you read or hear on the news? And that's the same source as mine.

btk, I checked out mediabiasfactcheck on mediabiasfactcheck, and the score was "Least Biased." The results of this site sound a lot like what you, Morch, and Yellowtail think of yourselves.

Yes, they are to the extent they think they can get away with.

And, that would be a source of an answer. If you disagree with it and think some "God" made it blue, then just say so. That then will be your opinion and belief. Why do you think you have to insult people with whom you disagree?

If you mean killing civilians without regard, yes, I do believe that. They want to punish the citizens of Gaza as much as they can. That's my belief.

btk, No, I'm quoting sources on the Internet, just like you do.

You don't seem that way to me...

Again, I disagree with you. What more can I say?
