I see you love to argue over semantics. War crimes and terrorist acts, same heinous crimes, just categorized differently.

Because Neeranam claims there was no war when the hostage taking took place. Even if not classified as a war crime it still does not lessen seriousness of the offenses, especially because of the sickening way in which the hostages were taken.

The war began as soon as Hamas went on their rampage, albeit an undeclared war. Seems as if you classify collateral deaths by targeted bombing and shelling as atrocities the same as the slaughtering of civilians, rapes and hostage taking of civilians.

He is using an Iranian rule book authored by the mullahs.

What kind of scale are you using to weigh all of these atrocities? Hopefully, not one made in Iran.

McAfee is rubbish. They are also sneaky and not to be trusted.

You also don't have to be an expert to know that hostage taking of civilians is still a war crime even if you treat your captives well and they wave good bye when they are released.

Since you are the expert on Hamas, you tell us what that is all about. I am looking forward to your explanation.

Morality and justice are "foreign" words for the strugglers you referred to.

Let's be optimistic that everything goes as agreed upon. However, knowing how Hamas operates I wouldn't hold your breath.

Most of the world hopes you are wrong. Experts are now agreeing that the spread of Covid19 could have been contained had the Chinese been more forthcoming. It is almost like they intentionally let the virus loose on the world. Their disregard for human life is endless.

Of course you can believe anything Iran says. Yeah, right.

The U.N. is a joke and now serves no purpose other than a platform to bash the U.S. And 99.9% of media outlets no longer offer real news. It is mostly the opinions of left-leaning so-called journalists.

Egypt and Jordan want no part of Hamas. Bahrain, UAE, Morocco and Sudan have officially recognized Israel. The Saudi were ready to do so up until October 7, although it might happen after things cool off. My point is, most Arab countries are tired of all the conflict going on involving Israel. Iran is the problem. They want to be the supreme ruler of the Middle East. They think destabilizing their smaller and weaker neighbors will help them get there. This is one reason they are supporting Hezbollah and Hamas and other terrorist groups. This is also why they want to become a nuclear power. Because Israel possess nuclear weapons, having the Israelis on their side would help counter Iran's attempt at dominance.

Wow, perhaps you are not aware that members of Congress are elected and not appointed. It seems you are stuck on the word "discrimination."

One problem Trump attempted to address is border security. Biden immediately reversed Trump's immigration policies and look at where we are today. Sanctuary cities, like New York are being overrun by illegal immigrants leading to a fiscal crisis. Blacks are demonstrating in Chicago with complaints of reduced aid for minorities in order to pay for helping illegals that have flooded the city.

Even nuttier than Donald Trump.

Not everyone thinks Trump was a disaster.

I don't know of any municipal system that is not subsidized to some extent. Why does Bangkok think they can do it better?

Failing to plan is planning to fail. After a previous Lahaina wildfire in 2018, a report was compiled with recommendations to handle future fires. It was filed and never acted on. In fact, no one, including the media, was allowed to have a copy of the report. Politics at its worst.

I only repeated what I was told by my dental insurance carrier why my rates doubled. And I did not claim it was a scam. Dental "insurance" is a fringe benefit often given by employers and is usually not considered taxable income. Also I have never hesitated to get dental care because of cost. What some people may be unaware of is that poor dental health can lead to heart problems. Sepsis from a tooth infection can kill you.

When I asked my dental insurance provider why my rates are being doubled, the reply was, "Because of Obamacare." I asked my dentist if he would still keep me as a patient if I was self insured. He said "no problem" Glad I cancelled since I don't need the insurance company's okay for certain procedures. I get to decide.

That explains everything.

Ever heard of dementia?
