    @Buck Turgidson

    As you can see this is divine intervention. First a Palestinian magical girl stopping a high powered round with her back and now a Palestinian magical boy comes back to life after being riddled by bullets...

    It's disgustingly vile and cruel. This is a perfect example of crimes against humanity, among all the other crimes they've already committed upon women, children, babies, and other civilians.

    Trump approves. More real estate opportunities, business ventures, and favors for him and his family from Netanyahu the war criminal.

    Technology and tactics may have changed over the past 11 months?

    Trump unveiled his peace deal that he negotiated with Israel but not Hamas. I'm sure everything will be much better now. o_O

    I mean, potentially an upgrade over slowly killing everyone. Potentially.

    That's a low bar. But I notice that they are offering amnesty to Hamas members who leave the country. And we know they think everyone in Gaza is Hamas. So, I guess they can just throw everyone out.

    Yeah, after all the children had their limbs blown off, all the hospitals, homes, women and children died of starvation, and the infrastructure has been bombed, and thousands have died from war crimes. Time to swoop in, after the genocide, put himself in charge, and build his resorts and hire cheap workers left over who haven't died to do the work for pennies in the dollar. The Kushner and Trump dream is all about profiting and opportunity was talked about months ago. They are sick greedy opportunists. He watched the genocide happen for months, and now that they destroyed Gaza he acts like some savior. What a disgusting ass*hole. He watched thousands die as he cozied up with the war criminal.

    Hamas says it agrees to free all hostages, enter Gaza deal talks
    Hamas has given an answer to Trump's Gaza plan, Al Jazeera reported.

    Meanwhile, Netanyahu the war criminal keeps destroying what little is left. The damage has been done, and even when the bombing finally stops, the damage and decimation of Gaza has been done. Too little, too late. They have put the kids of Gaza into the top of the list of child amputees, killed thousands of innocent civilians, destroyed practically everything, and slowly starved women, children, and babies to the brink of death. It's just so horrific. The grossest part of all is that Trump sat back and watched, fed Netanyahu money, and kissed his butt for favors, while refusing to call him the war criminal he is. He was just waiting for it all to be cleared out so he and his family could build another Trump Tower or real estate ventures on the Gaza Strip.

    Israeli air strikes hit Gaza despite Trump’s ‘stop bombing’ demand

    Israeli air strikes and shelling destroy homes – in defiance of Trump’s ceasefire call.

    “It was a very violent night, during which the (Israeli army) carried out dozens of air strikes and artillery shelling on Gaza City and other areas in the Strip, despite President Trump’s call to halt the bombing,” civil defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal told AFP.

    Basal, who works for a rescue force, said 20 homes were destroyed in the overnight attacks.

    From Hamas attack to U.S. war with Iran, violence forges a new Middle East
    The Oct. 7, 2023, strike on Israel began a historic reordering of the region — one that continues in the current war — but hardly in the manner its sponsors intended.

    https://wapo.st/3OFMeEZ

    excerpt:

    While Israel has faced allegations of genocide, a new generation of Israelis are now bearing the traumas of war, like their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. And while American soldiers are once again dying in the Middle East in a war of uncertain duration and unclear goals, what Sinwar set off was not a liberation but an unraveling of everything he and his sponsors yearned for — a defeated Israel, Palestinian hopes for statehood, a Middle East rid of Western influence. The so-called Great Satan looks more like the Great Decider.

    “Talk about a colossal miscalculation leading to catastrophic consequences,” said Bilal Saab, a Chatham House fellow and former Pentagon official in the first Trump administration. “That cataclysmic event single-handedly changed the face of the Middle East.”

    I'm beginning to think Hamas attacking Israel on October 7th may not have been a good idea.

    Nazi fascists tend to find whatever excuse they have to carpet bomb schools, hospitals and the rest of the civillian population. War with Iran has been salivated over for 50 years, only now they found someone stupid enough to do it. Even the pentagon has refuted this evil regime

    Look, heres whats next.

    Yeah, it really doesn't seem like attacking Israel on October 7th was a good idea.

    still so slow , nothing new...here's something you may not know!

    2013 Iran/Hezboallah were waging mass killing campaigns against Palestinians/Hamas in Yarmok refugee camp in Syria for not supporting Assad

    when Iran denied any involvement in Oct 7th, I believed them

    fun fact: Syrian are on track to have better future than Americans

    9/11 got the U.S. to spend trillions and killed millions.

    Oct. 7, though we were not the target, might put the U.S. on a similar path. What's worse, it is completely elective and a choice by bad U.S. leadership.

    Acts of mass violence are a bad idea for everyone involved, including the retaliation that follows.

    Iran lobbing missiles at everyone in the region isn't going to earn them many friends. They have been a torn in the side of not jsut the west.

    The Iranian regime is what happens with fundamentalism gains power. So no love lost in seeing it toppleds. But I am skeptical of Trumps vision of the people overthrowing the gov't with a little help from their friends. That is a gross miscalculation.

    If the put troops on the ground, this becomes a messy affair that will almost certainly kill the Trump agenda unless they take control of elections and essentially turn the US into an authoritative state - ironically much like China.

    If they don't put troops on the ground then this becomes a nothing burger in the long run. Iran will become even more oppressive and likely fully commit to building a bomb which they can do quickly. What many fail to understand is that iran has the know how already - it was never about having 20% or 90% enriched Uranium. It was about miniaturization and making a delivery system.

    The history of our foreign adventures do not point to this turning out well. Generally speaking this will be a lose-lose-lose situation.
