Good post Top Gun. Back to the original premise of this post I see the NYT has seen the light and retracted their assertions that it was the Israeli's that bombed the hospital in Gaza:

I see South Korea has worked out just great. All we have left over from that conflict is a very hot border and an aggressor nation with a demented leader running things north of that border that's now a nuclear power and wants to nuke us. And if you think that the U.S. leaving a small occupying for...

Yes, there probably would have been American casualties, but far fewer than any attempt at a ground invasion. And the Japanese could only manage so many air strikes before they would have been entirely out of planes. The Soviets declaring war against Japan was arguably every bit as effective as the...

Where we chickened out was resorting using nukes to wipe out 2 Japanese cites and their civilian populations just to save our own soldiers from city to city fighting, Let me ask you TC, You proclaim you're a male in a female body.

The big question is at what point does Israel use the 90+ nukes they have and to prevent that will the US send in troops? Israel is now threatening to wipe Iran and Lebanon off the face of the earth. You can bet they won't be using tanks and soldiers to do it either. The countdown to WWIII just got...

Did our response to Pearl Harbor justify the means? Our would you have preferred we did nothing It was a act of war.

Here's a question: What would likely happen if Israel tried to 'wipe clean' the entire Gaza strip (as suggested by a certain poster here). What would be the international response to this attempt at mass genocide? I think that depends on how much the other countries surrounding Israel react to a ma...

And once again, you just can't seem to see what a disaster Trump was for our country. The anti-China sentiment was mostly brought on by the Covid pandemic and right wing propaganda, but Trump stoked the fire and made it worse.

There has never been a better time to get people to try a different approach than the next year or so because Gaza is done if the ceasefire idiocy doesn’t win out although I’m not hopeful in that.As the rooting out of Hamas progresses it’s going to be extremely horrific. The battle over the narrati...

I agree 100%. Its been repeated throughout human history and we never learn. People with the best of motives and intentions invariably turn into the very enemy they're against. The "End's Justify the Means" is the usual outcome. Its almost as if humans LIKE war as a solution they seem to ...

You do remember the Jews gave the Palestinian's fair warning. Did Hamas give fair warning to the Jews? Did the Jews force the-Palestinians not to leave or did Hamas. As it looks The Jews are not going to cleanse, so we can expect this again 10 years from now. OK, where do you expect the Palestinian...

Yeah, too bad they aren't going for the final solution.

Too bad the Jews hadn't attacked the Nazis to earn their enmity. Now Hamas attacks the jews and you feel sorry for Hamas. Brilliant.

Given that the "H" and "L" often merge together in Arabic, the syllabic length of your description, and this just being a random guess as I don't know what crowd you're referring to I think they're probably actually saying "h'la ailha ih lla allah" = "there is no ...

Reading my American Legion Magazine I came across this: In the past 5 years Russia has lost more than 50,000 scientific researchers. In 1991 there were 992,000 scientist, today 340,200. No wonder Putin wants to buddy up to the Chinese.

First I asked the question, "how did the Israeli's miss this and the US". Of course you missed that. Then you should read a history of Gaza: https://www.britannica.com/place/Gaza-Strip/Blockade And then consider why Egypt and Jordan don't want the Palestinian's . After all the attacks by ...

So it get weirder, Biden gives 100 million in aid to the Palestinian people (read Hamas) with the caveat : “If Hamas diverts or steals the assistance, they will have demonstrated once again that they have no concern for the welfare of the Palestinian people, and it will end as a practical matter,” ...

Much like the left and their mantra of "Repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it", Hamas is trying to lie their way out of bombing their own hospital by saying Israel is to blame. I wonder how many here believe that nonsense.

Well, since you didn't speculate, here's what's going to happen if Trump wins in 2024, I will.

Hamas has zero interest in improving the lives of the citizens of Gaza, in fact they have a vested interest in making the lives of citizens in Gaza worse.
