Ithey keep telling me that Israel blew up a hospital and killed 500 people..
Believe it or not, there are actually a few people HERE on ATS still saying the same thing. The motto here is 'deny ignorance' and yet ... they continue on. Absurd.
Deny Ignorance?
All you ever do is look for one side's savagery to post here.
Not once have you reported on the hundreds of dead Palestinian Children. Children laid out on the floor and on tables by the Dozen for all to see.
Go find the video of the Mother with her 2 dead children in her arms, or the videos of the babies being pulled lifeless from the rubble of what was once their home. Or the dozens of men women and children who were blown to bits looking for sanctuary..exactly where the Israeli's told them it was.
It's you that's ignorant and in denial.

Israel has the ability to end this crisis. If they invade they are most likely to cause a response.
History has proven you wrong more times than its convenient to count, if Israel did nothing they would be attacked again.
With a hard enough hit they might postpone that reprisal a decade or so.
I didn't argue against a response. That's a strawman.
I argued against a disproportional response and against killing innocent civilians in their thousands.

It's not a proportional response when you kill thousands of innocent civilians, among them many women and children, in the name of self defense. This isn't an act of self defense but an act of revenge. Anyone can see this.
Ok. You can degrade Hamas and kill many of them if you invade Gaza (that will come at a price though). But you can't defeat this ideology and all you create at the prefect conditions for long term conflict and more deaths and destruction in the future on both sides.
It creates a situation where support for Hamas, or whatever the name of the organisation will be in the future, will increase dramatically.

You know this could happen in the U.S., right?
There's an illegal immigrant encampment just north of Houston w/60k+ illegal immigrants squatting.
That land isn't their's, it's private land that's been taken over by the homeless immigrants.
Those immigrants are like candy for terrorists. Any terror group (say, "Hamas", for instance) can come in and support the illegals, fund schools, and set up military operations in the school basements.
Then, these terrorists can start firing missiles into Houston.
You're saying Houston citizens have no right to defend themselves because the missiles are being fired from schools? So, what's Houston to do while it's being attacked from all sides?
You're rooting for the wrong side.

What happens to these people is up to America to decide. If they are left caged up and treated like animals that is what they will become.
If given a chance they could also become valuable members of society. I know immigration issues are tough to deal with and does take years for many to adapt to a new culture. Biden stuffed a lot of things up and has put the nation under a great burden. Take each case on its own merits.

Start busing them back to the border. Mexico is letting this happen too. Those people cross Mexico and are helped along the way. If we pushed this back on Mexico then maybe they would do something like they did in the past. Get 100 school busses with 40 in each, 2 trips a day and that is 60,000 in less than 10 days back in Mexico.

Would that be considered an Invasion of Mexico? An act of war? A war crime? Or, maybe an Insurrection?
We'll go by the # registered at each address. If a house has 193 Democrats registered to vote, they get 193 illegal immigrants dropped off, at their front door.
Sounds fair.
The British wanted to guarantee a Western presence in the area.
In November 1917, British Foreign Secratery Arthur James Balfour wrote an open letter to Lord Lionel Walter ROTHSCHILD(see video for letter contents 12:23) one of the leaders of the Zionist movement. Balfour wrote :
"Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in coveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and apporves by, the Cabinet.
In August 1942, a telegram arrived here saying that Himmler had decided to kill between 3.5 and 4 million people by the end of the year, in specific locations with a gas called prussic acid or cyanide.
"received alarming reports stating that, in the fuehrer's headquarters, a plan has been discussed, and is under consideration accordingly to which all Jews in countries occupied or controlled by Germans numbering 5.5 to 4 millions should, after deportation and concentration in the East, be at once exterminated, in order to resolve, once and for all the "jewish question in europe"
There were some massacres to send the message that only if people fled would thier lives be spared
TextIn March of 1948 there was an incident in Deir Yassin that caused panic.
Deir Yassin was a small village Aran village with 600 residents, located 5 kilometers from Jerusalem.
It held no strategic importance for the Haganah (Israeli military).
But two offshoot Zionist paramilitary groups, Irgun and Lehi, attacked the village anyway.
The operation on the morning of April 9th (1948) was poorly coordinated.
The Palestinians fought back, killing fove men.
Irgun and Lehi doubled down, seizing house after house, and blowing some up with explosives.
Nearly 200 were killed in the massacre
I see you've stopped screaming "free Palestine" after it was revealed they are killing more of their own people due to sheer incompetency. How many of their half-assed rockets failed and killed civilians?
