they blow up an entire apartment building because there was a few bad guys in it , (they claim) thats the justification.

If somebody killed your family and you tracked them down to an apartment building and blew it up and killed 50-60 people, you would be charged with 1st degree murder. Nobody is going to give you pa ss .

That's a faulty analogy. If someone had killed several of my children and were still shooting at the rest of them, from a house where there were other people who knew that the shooters were shooting at my family, and had been warned to get out, but decided to stick around to give the bad guys cover, I wouldn't hesitate to hoot into that house.

its not a faulty anaogy, its not even an analogy. Isreal did bomb apartment buildings with civilians in them and justified it because bad guys were there, they even bombed a refugee camp because some bad guys were there.

This what the butcher of gaza said to his troops just before the invasion of Gaza.

Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

Tucker Carlson has gone over to the dark side. He is a rabid antisemite. He even claims to have been attacked by a demon. The fact that someone would cite him to support their point tells me all I need to know about that person.

He’s gone off the deep end. He has sided with Russia as well.

You mean Hamas? Yes, they are definitely dark side. Israel doesn't murder anybody. They take more care to avoid civilian casualties than any country ever has. And Israel doesn't attack anyone who doesn't attack them first. Who Epstein may or may not have been is totally irrelevant. And I agree that you are confused.

These scum hide in and among the citizens so of course there will be issues and some civilian casualties. We had them as well so are we any different?

How many German and Japanese civilians do you think we killed in WWII ?

After Oct7th Isreal would be fully justified in hitting Gaza the way we hit Dresden or Tokyo.

If there's an apartment building with 100 residents, and 2 guys are shooting at you from a window, I'd have no problem calling in a JDAM strike through the roof. That's just how war goes.

Also, what makes you think there were *any* civilians in the building ? Because of the rampant perfidity perpetrated by Hamas, you basically have to assume *everyone* is a combatant until proven otherwise.

The allies firebombed over 50 German cities like Dresden, and killed multi thousands of civilians because there are no civilians in war.

We firebombed Tokyo on March 11, 1945..............killed 100,000.

The main fundamental flaw in the analogy is that almost *everything* in war would be murder if judged by civilian standards.

The rules of civilian life are just not applicable in war. Calling your boss a son of a bitch isn't even a crime in civilian life. In war it can get you serious prison time.

Killing dozens of people will get you an award in war, in civilian life it makes you a serial killer.

A civilian cop who killed gang members on sight based only on how they dressed would be a monster.

A soldier doing the same with the enemy is just how you fight a war.

Not only that, but not all those of the Jewish faith have the same goals. There are some ultra-orthodox Jews who hate Christians, just like there are some people who claim to be Christians who protest at the funeral of soldiers who die on duty and spew vile rhetoric at their family. We don't judge Christianity by the actions of that scum just as we shouldn't judge Judaism based on the actions of those radicals.

Because no media release is ever manipulated…..ever.

If you have a factual account I’d love to see read it. Everything released from that area of the world is facilitated and staged for effect (both side obtw). In the case of most “reports” I would need to be on site at this point and see.

Do you believe all the accounts of Iran reports? And at the same time do you note the lack of reporting of Iranian civilians cut down by Imported Iranian proxies?

Gaza reporting accuracy has been shown to be manipulated and staged by several international independent sources. You just have to search. If your government (Hamas, voted in 2005, zero follow on elections) purposely uses the populace for cover and concealment; yes there is risk involved. That risk is win/win for Hamas as it is protection and a story to be made later with the right facilitation.

Israel gave it up too.
