Justification is commonly used as a reason for the commission any act, whether it be humane or inhumane. In this conflict, both Hamas and Israel claim justification for their actions. In my opinion, what Hamas did on October 7 was despicable and cowardly. When pressure cookers explode you have an awful mess to clean up. Seems like Israel feels it's their job to clean up the mess. How they are doing it has created a lot of controversy. War is hell. War is costly. If you are not ready to accept the price don't start one.

Quote from the comments section below the article. "Remember Oct. 7. Finish the job".

How can anyone with a sense of decency defend the actions of Hamas. https://www.aol.com/news/freed-israeli-hostage-says-she-111806494.html

Something I don't have worry about. At my age I will be long gone when that happens.

You're right. Only a few, including me. One poster is waiting for links to two quoted statements, but fails to name the author(s) of those statements. Could be they have chosen to ignore his request. NOTE: He refers to the statements as "claims."

This is the very reason I chose to reply to your post. As to the other poster in question, he will cherry pick a link and only acknowledge those items he feels align with his views. Of course, he will ignore (his favorite word) anything that is counter to his point of view, which in his mind, overrides every other persons point of view.

According to Nikkei Asia the Coast Guard plane was NOT cleared for takeoff. This information came from the Ministry of Transportation. Link not furnished because of paywall.

Thank you. An excellent explanation of a what could have been a tragic loss of almost 400 lives. NPR aired a first hand account from a reporter that happened to be on another flight landing right after this incident. She evidently witnessed the crash from the air.

Playing with an under inflated ball and an over inflated ego.

Sounds exactly like the kid who took his ball away.

As I said the choice is yours. I also said I am not fighting a war and in no need for up to date information. One day late is fine for me. However, it may be important for someone in a hurry trying to validate their position on this forum.

There's more to Musk's meeting with Netanyahu that meets the eye.

Jeez, I am entitled to my own choice where I want my info from. Anyone that disagrees with you is wrong. The IDF has its own intelligence section, yet, everyone blames Mossad for the 10/7 failure. I don't know the intricacies of their intelligence operations, but somewhere along the way credibility is lacking. No one is suggesting for you not rely on that "X" website. That's your choice.

I stay away from anything to do with Elon Musk, and that includes his EVs. Just because the IDF says it's so doesn't not make it so. The Israelis supposedly had up to date information, but 10/7 happened anyway. Since I am not fighting a war I don't mind getting my information a day late.

May be up to date, but how accurate is it? https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/10/elon-musk-warned-about-misinformation-violent-content-on-x-by-eu.html

On this forum. In many shapes and sizes. I was on a "sushi" forum where one poster said if there are 10 or more posts on his first visit, he never goes back and reads any of them.

X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook are not my cup of tea. I can do without Musk and Zuckerberg.

The South African government has been accused of doing nothing about about attacks on white farmers. Claims of genocide were circulating. Statistics showing diminishing attacks and also providing reasons for the attacks were used to dismiss the claims. Now South Africa is accusing Israel of genocide. Let's see how that goes.

You mean to say you have never used a product made by Intel? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/intel-will-build-25-billion-chip-factory-in-israel-s-largest-investment-ever/ar-AA1m3k95

Soon? Not if the war continues for another year.

Just who are these many doubters? I suppose I can count you in among the many. Notice, I purposely avoided "WE can count you in," since I speak for myself.

Everyone, except you, knows that Biden is cognitively challenged. The White House has a full time job of correcting or denying his remarks. His behavior has many Americans on edge even his Democratic handlers. I believe I said you were repeating the propaganda and not generating it, unless, you are a Hamas supporter like your go to news source from Qatar.

What difference does it make whether Biden saw the videos or not? What's your point? From what I have observed, you seem to be the one repeating all the propaganda generated by Hamas and its supporters. Repetition does not make it any more believable unless one is brainwashed. Seems you fit the mold.
