not about Hamas anymore.

t stopped being about Hamas when they started bombing the refuges and firing on innocent starving people.

Bye. You have a real nice day.

Are you saying that if at least 30k+ Palestinians aren't killed, including 12k children, then the 846 or so civilians killed on October 7 and all the others raped and mutilated are being forgotten?

And the IDF has never raped a single Palestinian, or even other female IDF soldiers? I'd suggest doing a little research.

You seem to be operating under the belief that some crimes are permissible if you favor the perpetrator, while any crimes by those you don't favor demand utter annihilation.

Here's a thought, the HAMAS attack can be wrong and abhorrent, and so can the Israeli response. You can't stack "wrongs" in the hope that you ultimately reach a "right".

No, the United States is not "complicit" in Israel's completely justified war against Hamas. With regard to the civilian deaths, it is instead correct to say that Hamas is "complicit" (if that's the word that must be used) ... but not the United States. Hamas is the one who intentionally puts civilians in harm's way and who uses civilians as "human shields" and propaganda.

(Prediction: Without reading the entire post, someone will come along and say "OopsieDaisy is laughing at civilian deaths." In 3...2...1...)

It'll be argued here that killing civilians in war is only natural.
[synonyms: normal, common, everyday, legitimate, ordinary, organic.]
Machine-gunning starving civilians gathered for meager food handouts is not Natural.
Where is the spirit that moved us to rise up and protest the abomination of Vietnam? Where is the spirit that--fighting racial injustice--brought wide-spread cultural change? Is that spirit dormant in us now? Or is it dead, along with the starving children machine gunned today?

But we are not permitted to call them out here because that is "Bashing"! LOL

Have you heard of any Republicans coming around yet?

The Killing Must END.

The realistic capability and flexibility of adapting to a diverse, rapidly, changing world precisely because the Democratic Party is diverse.

The Republican Party on the other hand are too rigid in their thinking, they don't have room for diversity or differing opinions and ideas because they're literally owned.

The modern day GOP is a cult to oligarchy, that's why *rump is their God and that's why he has a pup tent in his pants for Putin.

Absolutely massive changes in human behavior and demands on the environment must happen yesterday! But the hedge funds that we call our "governments" will not permit it. They believe they will be safe, somehow. The wasting of the earth by its people (esp. those in the richest nations) gets me into a Gordian Knot of a cringe. Too many entitled folks think the problem is Someone Else's and refuse to change, refuse to buy less, refuse to eat less meat and fish, refuse to waste less, refuse to drive less, jet less. What'll they tell their grandkids as floods and fires consume everything around? It will not matter at that point who they think was at fault.

It will take many decades to fix things, and a long time to see positive results on a global scale, but that's only if drastic measures are taken now. But they aren't even being seriously considered, let alone enacted.

Happy Sadie Hawkins Day!
