Fact

After back-to-back accidents resulting in deaths, this is a proper decision.

There seems to be all kinds of free speech these days in the USA.

What do you mean? I think the incoming mayor of Seattle will earn a step on the podium.

The officer is not a terrorist. The officer is enforcing the law as directed by the government.

In the land of the free, I could sit in front of the White House holding a sign supporting any terrorist group and not get arrested. I can post offensive social media content without fear of arrest.

Poor Andrew, he may have to get a job.

You should thank the USA for the protection.

They have never tied peace. That's why Israel had to build a wall. Israel left Gaza in 2005 and your BFFs kept on attacking Israel. Here’s a **summary of major attacks *from Gaza into Israel*** (primarily rocket barrages, cross-border raids, and major militant offensives) **since 2005**. It includes key flare-ups where Palestinian militant groups based in Gaza—mainly Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad—launched attacks into Israeli territory: ([Mideast Journal][1]) --- Timeline of Major Attacks from Gaza into Israel (2005–2025)** ### **2005–2013: Early Rockets and Escalations** **2005–2007** * After Israel withdrew from Gaza in **August 2005**, rocket and mortar fire from Gaza toward southern Israel began to increase as militant groups gained access to Gaza. ([Mideast Journal][1]) * **2006**: Cross-border attacks including capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit led to rocket fire and escalations. ([Reuters][2]) **2008** * Escalation of **Qassam and Grad rocket fire** toward Sderot and other Israeli towns, contributing to the start of the Gaza War later that year. ([Mideast Journal][1]) **2012** * Palestinian militants in Gaza fired **hundreds of rockets** at Israel during flare-ups following targeted killings and tit-for-tat strikes. ([Mideast Journal][1]) **2013** * Fewer large flare-ups this year, though intermittent rocket fire continued. ([Mideast Journal][1]) --- ### **2014: Major Gaza War** **July–August 2014** * A large barrage of rockets from Gaza into Israel—**thousands of rounds** launched at Israeli cities and towns—triggered a seven-week conflict (Operation Protective Edge). ([Mideast Journal][1]) --- ### **2015–2020: Continued Attacks and Smaller Conflicts** **2015–2017** * Low-level rocket and mortar fire continued sporadically. ([Mideast Journal][1]) **2018** * Increased rocket fire during border protests and retaliation to Israeli actions. ([Mideast Journal][1]) **2019** * **March 14, 2019**: Rockets fired from Gaza reached **Tel Aviv**—a rare long-range strike—triggering air raid sirens and defensive responses. ([Wikipedia][3]) **2020** * Lower intensity overall compared with earlier large wars. ([Mideast Journal][1]) --- ### **2021: Major Flare-up (Guardian of the Walls)** **May 2021** * **~4,360 rockets** were fired from Gaza into Israel over 11 days, including toward central and southern Israeli cities; the conflict caused civilian casualties and widespread damage. ([Wikipedia][4]) --- ### **2022: Gaza–Israel Clashes** **August 2022** * During a brief 72-hour conflict, militants fired **about 1,100 rockets** toward Israel in response to targeted strikes on Islamic Jihad commanders. ([Wikipedia][5]) --- ### **2023–2025: Largest Attacks and Ongoing Conflict** **October 7, 2023** * Hamas and allied militant groups launched a major coordinated assault involving: * **Thousands of rockets** into Israel (reports cite at least 2,200–5,000 in the opening hours), * Infiltration attacks across the border with gunmen and vehicles into Israeli communities. This was one of the deadliest attacks in decades, triggering a large-scale war. ([Wikipedia][6]) **2023–2024** * Continued rocket fire and clashes as part of the broader war that followed. ([Human Rights Watch][7]) **2025** * **April 6, 2025**: Hamas fired rockets toward southern Israel (including Ashkelon), causing property damage and injuries before prompt Israeli military responses. ([Reuters][8]) **October 7, 2025** * On the **second anniversary** of the October 2023 attack, rockets were again fired from Gaza toward southern Israel, triggering air-raid sirens (no major casualties reported). ([New York Post][9])

Gaza was just reset.

Is this where they teach how to create a low-cost rocket to launch into Israel?

The Palestinians (HAMAS) start a war, and the women and children are the most impacted. Does that tell the world the leaders of the Palestinian people only see women and children as pawns?

It sounds like an exaggeration. I'm not seeing a global outcry.

Merry Christmas.

You need a stealth antenna.

@georgegeorgia Let's make it a priority to connect and discuss this important topic during your time in Thailand. Your insights will be invaluable, and I believe we can come up with some impactful ideas together.

You are right, it's better than the long flights I've had to deal with.

Why do you also use the term "Genocidal"?

There are consequences for actions. The people of Palestine attacked Israel, and it blew up in their face.

There needs to be a vast crackdown on this exploitation.

In today's world, injecting Trump into a topic is rare. That was the most impressive rebuttal I have ever seen.

A Democrat.

Is this what the progressive posters mean when referring to a strong woman?

Dude, the fight times are more like nine hours.

I would like to look over the statistics you plan to compile and the sampling methods you will use. I've always been interested in these topics since taking courses in sampling theory and experimental design while attending university. This study is an excellent opportunity for us to collaborate on a science project that benefits society.

All Blue City Mayors are fascist.
