| So I am accused of bias. Then when I respond to those accusations, you "move" the thread here while cutting out your allegations of bias. I didn't think my "allegations of bias" were worth repeating. The details of your thoughts and feelings about Israel were the more interestin... |

Sheesh!
I've replied here, in the thread Israel-Hamas war meta-discussion.
I will ask Cornflake to move any and all further meta-discussion posts to that thread. |

| NGO Monitor also noted that the IDF said that it had facilitated the transfer of 1.1 million tons of aid into Gaza, established humanitarian corridors, imposed tactical pauses, and vaccinated Gazans to avoid civilian deaths from the conditions of war. Sometimes this aid has been allowed into Gaza, ... |

| The Hamas invasion was very low-tech. Had the Israelis been even minimally prepared(like not having an unguarded festival next door to Gaza) there would have been a fraction of the casualties, damage, and few if any hostages. Deterrence would not have been lost meaning Hezbollah, the Houties etc pr... |

I am tired of repeating myself. If you want to continue this discussion, go back to the linked posts yourself, then quote them and reply to the specifics of what I actually wrote. |

| Ask yourself this. If Hamas did not commit their violent, terrorist attack on the music festival, would Israel have been compelled to do what you blame them for? Israel was not "compelled" to do the specific things it did, even given what Hamas did. Israel had options as to how it could h... |

| In other words Hamas is blame free -- it is all the fault of those despicable Israelis. Right? No, I wouldn't say that Hamas is "blame free." But Israel is not "blame free" either, and had alternatives to responding in the way that it did. Furthermore, Israel is by far the more ... |

| One thing that is interesting to me is that Israel is approximately 75% Jewish and 20% Arab. Indeed. During the 1948 Nakba, the Israelis did not expel quite all the Palestinians/Arabs, although they did expel most of them. And, apparently, there was no systematic policy as to who got expelled vs. w... |

| The October 7 attack could have been largely prevented, or at least contained a lot sooner, had various intelligence reports been taken more seriously. So it is all Israel's fault before they didn't have 100% intelligence about the terrorist plans and act to prevent them? 100% intelligence was not ... |

| Just how does denying them menstruation pads compare to rape and murder? Re-read the Wikipedia excerpt you quoted. It's not a very-well-organized paragraph, but it does specifically mention that Palestinian women and girls were "severely beaten" and "raped" (by Israeli soldiers)... |
