    Still insane that almost 40% of Dems under 34 support terrorists.

    It's still insane you post polls from Mark Penn who's a hardcore MAGA zionist who has never been a respectable pollster. Not shocking you're just as dumb today than you were the other day.

    I was curious if there are any polls asking Israelis what is more important for them — eliminating Hamas or returning hostages safely. Because it’s not clear to me that both goals are achievable, at least in short term.

    Found this: https://www.timesofisrael.com/israe...hamas-over-releasing-hostages-poll-finds/amp/

    The survey found 40% of Israelis would prioritize eradicating Hamas, with 32% preferring the release of the hostages. The question apparently proved difficult for many to answer, with 28 percent of respondents saying they could not say at all.​

    Looks like Israeli leadership had made their choice that eliminating Hamas has to be the overriding priority. Ensuring safe return of hostages comes after (if even possible). And avoiding a massive humanitarian disaster in Gaza does not register as a responsibility to be concerned about (except, perhaps, it is a concern insofar as it impacts diplomatic relations with other countries).

    We live in a world where a girls soccer team with 5 dudes destroyed a real all girls soccer team

    Send these woke people to the Middle East and see how fast they run back

    I’ve said this at the beginning of this current battle that the hostages are likely dead or going to die. I was gladly proven wrong that several were saved but given they some have even been killed by IDF I still have a hard time seeing how the remaining ones will come
    Out of this alive.

    I will be happy to be wrong on this.

    I guess it is some sort of technique by ATW and it save times and more important thought and research to bury inconvenient posts by repeating endless posts largely from the same couple of Islamaphobe. Doesn't change anything.

    Roughly 95% of the people who lived for a thousand years on the land and which was referred to as Palestine were Arab Muslims and only about 5% were Arab Jews. European imperialists who were anti-semitic like Lord Balfour of England decided to give the land to European Jews who wished to leave Eastern Europe because he feared they would come to England. Colonialists like Balfour also viewed these European Jews as being superior racially to the native Muslims and also of use to the British in helping control Palestine which they had recently acquired control of from the defeated Ottoman Empire. These Europeans Jews took land from the folks living there. Later they called the part of the land they seized "Israel" which became a state after WW II when the UN declared it a state. Interestingly this may be the last time Israel accepted any declaration of the UN which they hate to this day. See their treatment of UNWRA and fit at the latest UN actions seeing them as committing a "potential genocide".

    The funny thing is Joe Rogan, Candace Owen’s, Tucker and pretty much ever other force in freelance news is calling this a genocide

    the fat Hillel Folds can post all they want to the 20 people the spam their content but it’s getting drowned out because everybody else can judge with their own eyes

    it’s not even worth addressing, it’s propaganda. The people of Israel are being oppressed by Bibi, and now the rest of the world is paying the price too

    One thing is for sure.

    Israel and Mossad will be interfering in our election.

    Hezbollah would be firing rockets from Lebanon (north), not the Gaza Strip (south)... They do it all the time, there's nothing to "buy".

    Side note: I think the Iron Dome has floated around a 90% success rate over the years. Shame it's had to be used so much.
