    He has to defend Israel because he was on Blackmail Island and now they have controversial video material of him.

    “If you want to destroy bigotry, you have to kill the bigots.” How does that sound, Alan?

      Sounds better than what he said, you’re not advocating for killing bystanders.

      They’re literally no better than Hamas at this point. Hamas’s who deal is, “fuck it. We’ll kill the innocent with the guilty, let Allah sort it out.”

        Please give me: statistics on the bystanders killed by hamas vs. statistics on the bystanders killed by the Israeli occupation forces

        EDIT: Misread comment, but hamas still clearly values human life more than Israel

          It’s actually a lot worse. The IDF has a much, much higher rate of civilians killed for every noncombatant than Hamas does. Hamas is objectively better at avoiding civilian casualties than the IDF is.

            Oh my bad, I misread your comment and thought you meant they’re better than hamas.

            I’m palestinian so I am biased, and I do obviously agree 100%

    Isn’t the attempt at that exactly how you get more hamas?

      Which is exactly the point. They need Hamas just like George Dubya needed “terrorists” so they keep manufacturing them.

    Trump and the Israelis wont stop the war. Why would they? Trumps “peace” is a farce and a delaying tactic.

    That’s the only viable strategy - if there was some number of Palestinian civilians that Hamas could operate among with impunity, it would do. I don’t think Israel is currently fulfilling its obligation to protect civilians as much as is practically possible while still fighting a war effectively, but civilian casualties would be high even if it was simply due to the nature of urban warfare against an enemy operating among civilians who have nowhere to evacuate.
