| It is not at all comparable. America did not attack Israel. On the other hand, Israel and the Arabs there have been attacking each other for a long time. Sounds like you're offering excuses for ethnic cleansing, as though it's acceptable when certain people do it against other certain people. If yo... |

| I don't see it as a good guys vs bad guys thing. It seems to be more of a bad guys vs bad guys. Because of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, I have had a rather low opinion of Israel. That said, I have a far lower opinion of Hamas and consider them to be far scummier than Israel. So, when... |

During much of the Holocene Climatic Optimum -- roughly in the period of 5,500 to 9,500 years ago -- when the Earth was warmer than now, sea levels were something like two meters higher than today.
Lower ocean salinity, but somehow the Earth managed to survive. |

We should always assume that the Orange Taco is only acting for his own aggrandizement. |

| ^^^Note I am posing a question about what is it about the Palestinian conflict that makes it more important in the news cycle (I am not saying Palestinian civilian deaths is not important, it is) than (let's pick just one current event) than the Ethiopian/Eritrean conflict. The Tigray War (2020-202... |

| Given their continued indiscriminate fire on civilians leading to the deaths of huge numbers of innocent people, including children, as well as the denial of aid among many other atrocities, it seems that they are systematically trying to exterminate the Palestinian people. I’m also satisfied with ... |

| What’s happening in Gaza is a genocide, so supporting it would be supporting genocide.

| ~83+% of Jewish Israelis support the Bibi's war against Iran and Gaza I refuse to believe that 83% of Israeli Jews support a genocide. I can easily believe that 83% got tricked into supporting genocide, because they have a state-run media propaganda machine that refuses to call it that. They don't ... |

| The only hope that Israel has is that the US decides to get bogged down in another war in the Middle East. Iran has roughly 10x the population of Israel, and Israel is using a bunch of weapon systems that they get from the US. There' no way that the Israelis can topple the Iranian government in any... |

| What do you expect? The Israelis have been murdering Palestinians for decades. You make it sound like Hamas has access to proper military hardware to conduct things properly or that the Israelis don't also engage in campaigns of rape, torture and murder. They have been going against each other for ... |

| I'm starting to have my doubts that the 10/7 attacks even happened , since the only source for Israel's claims is the Israeli government and state-controlled media That's the silliest claim I have ever seen here. Yes, 10/7 clearly happened. The issue I personally have with most of the discourse is ... |
