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? The CBC is not alone in its biased coverage of this latest conflict. 7 Times Israel Coverage Proved You Don't Hate The Media Enough (thefederalist.com)

Douglas Murray is brilliant as usual.

Unfortunately, I think you're right that this will be hailed as a "big thing" and there are too many people foolish enough to buy into the idea.

'Palestinians were forcibly evicted by the Jews in 1948': Fact or fiction? | Alan Meyer | The Blogs (timesofisrael.com) Iran may have some Jews but I should have stated that I meant the countries that actually share borders with Israel. If Israel is trying to ethnically cleanse Palestinians and Arabs from their country they are doing a poor job of it. And in Gaza, the population is rising continuously. All they seem to do is procreate and stockpile weapons. Does the Republican party have their own equivalent of The Squad? The Squad is most certainly not friendly to Israel.

Please explain exactly how to do that when Hamas always hides directly behind their own citizens. You know, the same citizens that elected them in the first place. And it's not merely speculation or conjecture on my part that Hamas uses human shields, it is 100% fact. They even have a bunker under one Shifa hospital in northern Gaza. Think about that...a bunker...built UNDER

Something to consider. In the surrounding countries to Israel, the percentage of Jews living in those countries is ZERO. In the state of Israel, the percentage of Arabs living there is about 20%. In the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, there are duly elected representatives who are Arab. Since the first elections in 1948 in fact. We already know there is NO Jewish representation in the surrounding countries, let alone any Jews living in them. If Hamas and Hezbollah laid down their arms, there could be peace. If Israel laid down its arm, they absolutely would be slaughtered immediately. Israel supplies Gaza with much of the water and electricity. I do not know what the other countries do for Gaza. Last and certainly not least, the US is not run by neocons at this time. It's actually the most radically left leaning version of the Democrat party in its entire history. They actually have a number of Hamas supporters that have been elected. (The Squad)

Israel always tries to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza. This is why they drop leaflets, notify on social media, to warn civilians to leave the target areas. These are the areas that Hamas hides in and forbids their own citizens to leave. The IDF does not hide behind women and children. Hamas does.

Do you propose that Israel retaliates against Hamas person for person? That would mean that Israelis march into Gaza and slaughter 1200+ victims? Executions, burning people out of their homes, beheading, burning alive, raping women, killing infants? Would that meet your definition of a proportional response?

No, not any and everything goes when Israel goes into Gaza . What Hamas did when they started the massacre last week? That is an example of where any and everything goes. They have no limits. There is no line they will not cross.

It's ludicrous to use the word genocide with IDF operations in Gaza. They warn civilians to get out of the way of impending attacks. Hamas warns it's own people to stay put to be used as human shields. Hamas does not give warnings to Israelis to get out of harms way as we have seen countless times. It's beyond me how Hamas can commit atrocities as they did in their bloodthirsty rampage last week, post them on social media... BRAG ABOUT THEM, and still have the support and sympathy of much of the world.

The US is not the problem. It's Hamas and their kind that do not want peace. They won't let go of the "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" nonsense.

This is what Hamas actually uses hospitals for. Not-So-Secret Hamas Command Bunker Located Under Gaza Hospital (freebeacon.com) Al-Shifa Hospital - Wikipedia From what I've seen so far about this incident, it looks like it's not Israel that did it. A failed rocket from Hamas. No surprise that Hamas lied and the media ate it up.

It's almost like the UN wants Gaza to be able to retain the ability to keep launching terrorist attacks against Israel. The foreign aid will continue to pour into Gaza and Hamas will use much of it solely for the purpose of attacking Israel.

The point of the article was that when a nation like Iran expects to have 6 billion coming to them, it frees up finances to fund other interests. It's no secret that Iran funds a lot of terrorist groups. Like Hamas for instance.

How can Hamas be stopped when they are indoctrinating children from the start? "We can forgive you for killing our children, but we can never forgive you for making us kill your children" ( Golda Meir)
