I agree, I don't think you should be politically correct when the truth is people were killed savagely including small children. There was a huge Pro-Hamas rally in New York again. It was unbelievable in size and very unsettling.
The Hamas-Israel war thread
- Thread starter Tiffany
- Start date
There are too many pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian rallies. There were more this weekend in Washington DC and California. A poor Jewish man in California was killed by a pro-Hamas man that threw the megaphone at his head, he fell back on the pavement and died. I read that tiktok is the largest media website responsible for promoting pro-Hamas.
Why am I not surprised that it's TT that's guilty of this? They're always at the centre of some controversy.
Sad but trueThe CCP has a very broad reach across the globe.
yeah, plays directly into putin's hands.
Disturbing developments as we are trying to get aid inside of Gaza to the hospitals too. There are many pre-mature babies without incubators. So many inhumane repercussions from this war between Hamas and Israel. I think about all of the displaced pets and animals too. 
Finally, proof that the Dar al-Shifa hospital in Gaza houses hamas terrorists who must be flushed out and killed.

I've seen video of it and it's terrifying. Thank you for the link with more detail.
It's great that hostages have been freed, but the price was too high and this article explains why. This is the core of it, as far as I can see:
So, hamas got what they wanted, right? No, what should have happened is that hamas should be on their knees, begging for the bombing to stop and released all the hostages unconditionally, not just a few hostages for loads of terrorists. Now those 150 freed terrorists will be committing more terrorist atrocities. The problem has just gotten bigger, as the article says:
On top of that, support from America is starting to wane too, while attention continues to be diverted away from the Russia-Ukraine was which is actually much more critical since it's world order defining.

Hamas has just won a major victory over Israel
Beware of terrorists bearing gifts. Compassionate goals and unrelenting war make for a complex mix. While freeing Hamas’s October 7 victims is laudable, there are right and wrong ways to do so. There are costs as well as benefits. Here, Hamas has won a significant victory. Whether the deal sets...
This exchange of hostages for terrorists has me baffled. I do believe though, this seems to be what Israel does, as there have been several types of exchanges in the past, like the Yun Kipper terror attack and in 1971 then in 2007. I'm not up to speed on this, still reading, but just first impression.
Such assholes, deliberately ruining people's Christmas shopping in their support of hamas terrorists.

Pro-Palestinian protesters bring Oxford Street to standstill in Christmas shopping rush
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters brought traffic on Oxford Street to a standstill on one of the busiest shopping days of the Christmas period.
Because a march for Palestine is a march for hamas, whether intended to, or not. And it's a dick move ruining people's shopping, no?
btw, given the latest hamas demands, I have some thoughts about the state of the war which will probably interest you. Hopefully I'll manage to post them here in a few hours. I need a suitable amount of free time to put it all together though, which I don't have right now.

You seem to have decided on their behalf what their views are, and reached your own judgement. That's not a stance I really want to lock horns with you about. I've only ever done my Christmas shopping online - it's a lot less crowded.
No, I haven't "decided on their behalf", it's what they're clearly doing. In fact, I saw a news article only the other day quoting Palestinian mothers lovingly wishing their kids to become suicide bombers in order to wipe out Israel. A totally sick ideology I think you'll agree. This is whom you're promoting marching for in a misguided belief of them being the poor underdogs, when they're actually the terrorists. I need to find that article again and post it here, it was on Yahoo news.
Of course, not all Palestinian families are like that and I do genuinely feel for them getting caught in the crossfire.
I was going to make the post anyway before you replied to me, so whether you want to reply to me or not, is fine. Again, I'll do that when I get a bit of time.

I was really sad to hear about the hostages that were shot accidentally by the IDF, and also very discouraged and sad to learn some hostages were found deceased in one of the tunnels. War is very cruel and heartless.
Although not directly related to the war, this issue will certainly affect decisions related to it. As such, Israel has had a lucky escape. Imagine if they'd have allowed the government to overule their Supreme Court? It would have given them the power to do anything they want with no oversight. As it is, I'm surprised that the vote was so close, 8/15, to oppose it. After all, why would the SC rule to demote itself?

If this is really true, then it's absolutely despicable. I can see why Israel would do it from a strategic point of view though, if terrible human suffering doesn't matter to them.
It's obvious by now that Israel's committing genocide to cleanse the West Bank of Palestinians, so the last thing they want are the people they want to exterminate getting any help, therefore kill off the help. And look, it's working since the aid charities have immediately paused sending any further help and it "only" took 7 lives and one bombed out car to do it. Clean and efficient.
Speaking of that genocide, it's long been clear that hamas doesn't care about the Palestinians that they supposedly represent, or they'd just release all the hostages to make it finally stop. My question now is would Israel actually stop given how committed they are to it. I have my doubts.
These and more are the reasons that myself and millions of others absolutely detest war.

This poor 75 year old lady who was held hostage by militant group, terrorist gang Hamas, no longer thinks peace with Palestinians is possible and I can't say I blame her given her experience. It's a known fact that Hamas just wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth as they've literally stated it.

Here is a woman that was initially actually for peace, teaching Israelis Arabic, yet once she witnessed the atrocities, she came to the painful but sobering realization that peace with Palestinians is a fantasy, an impossible utopia.
Yet, the world is deaf, blinkered, all accuse Israel; instead of seeing the reality, that it is hamas who use their own people as human shields. How despicable is that?
All Israel is doing is defending itself against an enemy whose avowed reason for existence is the destruction of Israel. So what should Israelis do, pack their bags and walk into the sea?
Power To Israel!
