Dem lefterrhoid messaging on Gaza reminds me of the situation in Venezuela. Say what? you may be thinking. It is in this manner. The lefties maintained in the beginning with Hugo Chavez that he was allegedly a duly and legitimately elected president/regime and conservatives and others allegedly just had a problem because he was not under the control of the Americans and that the Americans could not accept the fact that Venezuelans can think for themselves and choose their own government. Then, flash forward, and they were being "disappeared" and eating cockroaches as part of the Maduro Diet they argued that the civilians were innocents who were having to live under an autocratic regime. Yeh well tell us again about the "duly elected" part and go "duly elect" someone else. Similarly, in Gaza, the lefties have criticized conservatives for not accepting the fact that the Gaza leadership/government was the "legitimately" elected government chosen by the Gazarians or Gazettes or Gazarinis. But now that they are under threat of attack or actual ongoing attack they are screaming that the people there have nothing to do with Hamas. They are just innocent victims of Hamas themselves. Not saying civilians should not be treated as civilians. But if they were legitimately elected then the people knew what kind of shit-show they were signing up for. Hamas leaders were on the ballot and the charter/constitution for Gaza calls for the elimination of Israel. Set/flame = off.
Again, more legitimate criticism here. You’ll not find me unsympathetic to the Palestinians. However, like with a lot of the nations in the Middle East, the power in these places lies with the zealots. And therein lies the difficulty in policy. My assessment is at this point a two state solution is not feasible. Hamas is irredeemable and Palestine needs some sort of international or pan-Arabian peace keeping force.
just stop... Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday described gruesome photos and videos he reviewed depicting victims of Hamas' terrorist attack on Israeli civilians. "It's hard to find the right words. It's beyond what anyone would ever want to imagine, much less, God forbid, experience," he said at a press conference in Israel. "A baby, an infant, riddled with bullets. Soldiers beheaded. Young people burned alive. I could go on, but it's simply depravity in the worst imaginable way." Blinken said that the photos, shown to him behind closed doors by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government, would ultimately show exactly the horrors its people have confronted and serve to unify through "moral clarity." "So, images are worth a thousand words. These images may be worth a million," he asserted. and while you're not on the left, plenty are showing their ass just like you're doing right now:
We said the same about Greenpeace before, said the same about IRA, yet they go into the history books as freedom fighters, despite having murdered hundreds (IRA) .
The accomplice, in on genocide, said it, so it must be true. Don't be another stupid minion who eats the shit that is spoon fed to him

why should they be exiled to a foreign country? Gaza's inside Israel's border; Palestinians should not be fleeing their own borders unless we're ready to admit that said government is out to wipe them out making them political refugees risking genocide. If Bibi's so intent on the tax payer demolishing the place for more settlements, the sensible thing is for them to wait it out inside Israel proper.
