The Israeli conflict in a nutshell

  1. Well, this certainly falls within my "by the weekend" expectation.

    I don't see any reported casualties but realistically they go with airstrikes and they are not even close to being done. "They" being Israel and Hamas and their counterstrikes.

    Playing with fire sometimes gets you burned.

    Does this mean Hamas is out of rockets?

  3. New governments always empower the radical element of that party. Happening in Israel with the new conservative leader and happened with Trump when he took office and when Biden took office.

  5. In a nutshell? Two religious groups who both believe they hold legitimate claims on the land claimed to be given to them by their God. That's the entire conflict in a nutshell. And to be honest as a Christian or Jew it makes one uneasy to try to look at it this way. But that is exactly how it is.

  6. But what I find funny how all those leftwingers here who don't even believe in God make this issue something about themselves. What investment do you guys have in all this? None whatsoever. Other than of course that you bought your Palestinian shawl that finances terrorism. Israel has never attacked Palestinian cities without provocation. Not once. And everyone in this conflict agrees that the agitators are Hamas and Palestinians generally. You guys just hate that Israel responds and that it does not get bullied because Hamas uses human shields. And please don't cite reuters articles that claim otherwise, written by some eco-tourist on period.

  7. This is not journalism, this is some loser on Youtube. Please don't elevate that guys standing to that of responsible journalists who have sworn to uphold the truth and always strive to report facts. Proof Israel struck unprovoked because some Palestinian dude woke up in the middle of the night and heard expositions? You must be kidding us. You did not really stoop down to such low level of circumstantial evidence right?

  9. You want to be taken seriously with such ridiculous and minimizing posts?

    Here is the reality - it's very hot and dry in most of that Israeli area close to Gaza. This recent photo is what just one incendiary balloon can do. Fires can spread quickly harming and killing people.
