The Israeli government seems determined to make their own country’s long-term existence in its current form untenable:

It's despicable. The world has to get that vile SOB and his sick ethnic cleansing force out of power, take control of Gaza, and put the ba$tard in prison.
This is another reason why you don't lose the high ground through moral horror shows like Iraq; you basically give every scumbag the green light for atrocities for decades.
And when are people going to effing learn the most basic, reliable finding in psychiatry? Malignant narcississts with power only ever mean death and destruction. Give them an inch, and they won't stop until everyone is dead. They're the most dangerous bioweapon on the planet by miles.
That said, I have no time for Hamas, either. But you can't let someone as bad or worse than Hamas control the situation. Someone has to effing step in, FFS.
Frankly, I was trying to ignore it altogether because I'm only getting enraged to the point of helpless and depressed.

In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

What David quoted doesn't justify why Hamas should be in control, it just shows what happens when there is no-one in control.
If Israel does succeed in (temporarily) destroying Hamas, something needs to replace it whether that is UN peacekeapers or the Palestinian Authority. It just shouldn't be either Hamas or Israel.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Sorry, I thought it went without saying, but of course I think the war should stop immediately and should never have happened to begin with. There should have been negotiation from day one. That was the context in which elections should have been held. From where we are now, there should be immediate ceasefire, caretaker government, UN peacekeepers and aid, and an election as soon as possible.
Anyway, here’s Jon Stewart’s take:

Well nothing could be clearer. You are a supporter of ethnic cleansing.stui magpie wrote: Gaza was/is too geographically and economically poor to ever really be sustainable as a stand alone state and Hamas was more interested in using Aid money for weapons rather than basic infrastructure. Maybe (just putting it out there) in the end it's better if Gaza just becomes Israeli territory and the Palestinian people there relocate to somewhere they actually have prospects whether that be the West Bank, Egypt, Jordan or somewhere else. The key thing there is that the West Bank needs to become a self governing

You still don't seem to understand that all of Israel'd SOBs are financially, militarily and politically bankrolled and protected by the Biden administration. Until you realise that, your words are totally futile.pietillidie wrote:It's despicable.

Looking at the map it makes sense, however the Palestinians should have been rehomed peacefully, not slaughtered.
Israel is acting disgracefully right now, and needs to be stopped and held accountable.
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!

Please explain how you reach that conclusion, given that you yourself have said: Maybe (just putting it out there) in the end it's better if Gaza just becomes Israeli territory and the Palestinian people there relocate to somewhere they actually have prospects whether that be the West Bank, Egypt, Jordan or somewhere else.stui magpie wrote: If your IQ reaches 60, sell.

Words such as this could have been uttered by any member of the fascist Netahanyu government.
Mate, it's not me who is the imbecile.
