I don't see any evidence that Biden is "a good man". Plenty of evidence that he has a short fuse. Plenty of evidence over the span of his career that he entered politics to enrich himself. Plenty of evidence that he has a serious issue with tall tales(lying). What does it say about this man's character when he refused to acknowledge the "other" granddaughter for so long? I had previously believed that there was no way the DNC would allow him to run again given the obvious decline in his cognitive ability but now I'm not so sure. He most certainly is being controlled by actors behind the scenes so they may just want to keep this Weekend At Bernie President in the White House.

In case you weren't aware, Israel left Gaza in 2005. Does the occupied Palestinian territory you refer to run from the river to the sea?

Guess I struck a nerve when you are confronted by facts. Seems you are losing your temper just like so many of those protesters. If Hamas, Hezbollah and their kind lay down their arms, then there could be peace. They clearly have no interest in that.

That is categorically not what the IDF is doing. You mentioned the bombing of the hospital earlier. Are you talking about about the blast in the parking lot next to the hospital? The circumstantial evidence all points to a failed Hamas rocket and not the IDF. In that particular case, most of the MSM just ran with what Hamas told them from the get-go. And I must point out once again that Hamas has or had a headquarters in a hospital. Why? Because either they are protected by the human shield patients above, or if the IDF attacks, they also win because of civilian casualties. It's well known that the IDF warns civilians to get out of harms way. Hamas gives no such warnings. And they also order their own citizens to stay put.

Don't want to even acknowledge the human shield tactic do you?

If it were me, I would pick the candidate with the policies that benefitted the country more. Trump is far from perfect but he policies were better. Energy, immigration, foreign policy. All of these are total Biden failures.

Even with the most sophisticated military, it's got to be virtually impossible to to avoid those human shields. Or do you deny that Hamas does in fact have a longstanding practice of using their own women and children as human shields?

You haven't been paying the slightest attention to what's being said at many of these pro-Palestinian/Hamas protests have you? White liberals!?

Does that figure of 12000 come from Hamas? Any reporters that are in Gaza are allowed to see only what Hamas allows them to see.

Many of those that want Israel to stop only want it so that Hamas gets breathing space to survive and plan for the next barbaric attack. A lot of people were silent on Oct 7.

I would wager that the casualty numbers in Gaza are mostly the result of collateral damage because of the longstanding Hamas policy of using their own women and children as human shields. This despite the best efforts of the IDF to avoid civilian casualties. That is the key difference between Hamas and Israel. Hamas wants as many dead Israelis...and Gazans, as they can get.

Do you propose that Israel take a one for one approach to dealing with terrorist Hamas? Should the atrocity on Oct 7 be repeated by Israel on Hamas civilians? There is no moral equivalence here between what Hamas did and the response of the IDF.

They don't "seem" to be making an effort, they ARE making every effort to reduce civilian casualties. Why else do you think the IDF gives advance notice through the use of leaflets and social media? WATCH: IDF finds rocket launchers next to children's playground in Gaza (msn.com) If the IDF needs more time to finish off Hamas, then let them do their job. And never mind the protestations from the likes of The Squad.

Are you telling us that Iran does not support terrorist activities in other countries? Have you ever listened to any of those mad Ayatollahs?

It went over your head obviously, but I was curious to hear what capitalist dictator names he was going to come up with. Hey, wait a minute! Where are your examples of left-wing dictators??

No. Iran considers Palestinians as pawns only useful in furthering the radical Islamic terrorist agenda.

Names please?

Not speculating. For the most part, the MSN isn't really interested in reporting on corruption on the Democrat side. Not for a second am I going to suggest there isn't some level of corruption within the Republican side. It's probably more or less equal on both sides of the aisle. But one side is under much more intense scrutiny than the other.

I agree. But the problem is, there are way too many Philip Bumps out there. And they have little to no interest in Democrat corruption.

The daily slaughter that occurs in Democrat run Chicago has never hurt that political party. Nor in any other violence plagued Democrat city.

Are you not aware of any of the many number of worldwide protests in Western democracies? Have you not heard the kind of things many of these protesters are saying? Jewish students report fear as antisemitism rises on college campuses - The Washington Post And you say there is a problem with my values?

There have been quite a lot of rather nasty pro-Palestinian/Hamas protests across the Western world. They are a mix of people that have brought their hatred of Israel with them and citizens that have been indoctrinated to also hate Israel and its occupants. How does this benefit any country to take in people that despise Western culture and values?

Israel has kind of had it's hands full defending itself from openly hostile neighbors for decades since it's inception. When would they have had the time to fight in other wars?
