i think you are continuing to mischaracterize my position. Not nice. Again, I am just explaining why the Israelis might not want to give in to hamas blackmail. In similar vein, I dont think Vajpayee should have given in to the Pak terrorist demands.

And did I say I admire Xi or Putin? There is something called comprehension. There's a clear implication in my post that I consider Xi, Putin, hamas and hezbollah types and the Middle East mullah leaders as evil/ bad actors, and that we need strong leaders to counter them. I am not saying people need to be evil themselves.

as for hitler, it's actually quite rich though that some people keep bringing him up when in the first place they deny the holocaust.

I learned how to mischaracterize from you here --> given your 100% backing of people who have "from river to shining sea" on their tag line. Seems to be asking for the extinction of Israel, much like the hamas. They ARE talking about all Israelis there, not just Netanyahu.

When you have empathy and compassion for other human beings you cannot justify the killing of them. Many Jews have that and are standing up against the genocide of Palestinians.

FYI every person posting in supporting Palestine topic we do not care about race nor religion we are against war, and the killing of innocent civillians. Not a single person has talked about extinction.

I figured out how to block members. You're getting blocked. Good luck in your tough world!

^ lol very brave and intellectually honest, block and unblock like some folks are known to do.Block when they cant debate points logically, and unblock to make a chip shot and scoot again.

if as you claim you are concerned about the hostages taken by hamas, shouldn't you be speaking up against that evil bunch of Islamic terrorists to release the hostages? Otherwise it's just lip service and croc tears

U know what I'm seeing, so many people are seeing thru Israel.. but also Hamas too. Whilst the leader is sitting in air condition gloating about the 1200 killngs were a win. Like Dude.. what win? You just got so many Palestinians killed, gave an open house invitation to Israel to attack. What they did is against Islamic rules. Its wrong. It's people like them, that give a bad name.

But non the less, what Israel are doing is wrong, knowing that Palestinians are innocent and still having them killed. You know its bad losing your own, but doesn't make it right to kill someone else.

From day 1, I have been saying Hamas is wrong and I agree numnum, that not many people from Palestine supporting side is posting on that.

Israel may not be as big as India and other places.. but they are spread out everywhere. You know all these building materials buisness who owns them

They are not “collateral damage” they are human beings ...

The very definition of "collateral damage" is the deaths of or injury to civilians (= people not in the armed forces) or damage to buildings that are not connected to the military during a war. People say ‘collateral damage’ to avoid saying ‘innocent people being killed’.

"Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort.

And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires, as if one shouldn't trust the evidence of one's eyes watching the destruction and the misery and death brought by the latest mission civilizatrice." —Edward Said

There are multiple definitions of genocide, but the most widely cited is the 2002 Rome Statute's, which established the International Criminal Court (ICC). Around 120 countries are signatories (notably the US and Israel still refuse to sign it):

They are incredibly brave to stand up for what they believe to be right.
