How would they have a Palestinians state by now?   Explain how you see that coming to be.  What evidence do you have that Israel was going to allow for the creation of a Palestinian state?  You are aware that the issues there easily pre-date Hamas, right?

Effective government would have allowed them to lobby Israel, international organizations, regional allies in order to persuade Israel to head in the direction of a Palestinian state. But for sure, no one wants to work with a bunch of **** flingers or otherwise corrupt/inept leadership. It’s like you think countries that have positive outcomes have just lucked into them, instead of been lead into them.

Yes, set him and all of his acquaintances on fire, in that case.

yes and no. A huge problem, no pun intended, is portion sizes at almost all restaurants in this country. Cutting serving sizes would do far more than raising taxes on sugary stuff. 

Dang. We should have made a shorter cigarette.

I didn't say it was in their own best interest.

yea, you just said it’s possible. And if it happens then their actions are justifiable. That is not right.

If there was a viable government within Gaza they would have a Palestinian state by now. They don’t not because of Israel, but because they themselves are inept. They’ve chosen to be led by terrorists and the corrupt. Thats on them.

Time to increase the tax on coke and Big Macs to pay for it. Really, “**** big pharma” sound cool but is ultimately stupid.
 

Big pharma is what is saving your fat ass from high blood pressure and heart disease.

Apparently these Childrens never been to chuckee cheeses back in the day. Snow flakes.

That said a 40 year old man should never play the role of a 6 year old girl.

I've made this same point multiple times in this thread.  Whether what Hamas is and has done is in the Palestinians best interest is a matter of perspective and time.

Yes, like you said, killing and starving Palestinians is in their own interest! The protestors should be ashamed of themselves. Genocide is the only way to guarantee statehood. If it worked for Israel is bound to work for Palestine.

And Israel should absolutely have the Palestinians best interest at heart.

according to you, they do 🤷‍♂️

With all due respect, Hamas is no longer in a position to say what should happen with the future of Gaza or the terms of how aid should get in now that US built a fn pier to circumvent the ****show that is the border crossings.

Agreed. My issue is that people like @PeterMP pretend Hamas actions are justifiable. Trying to claim they are working in the Palestinians best interests. **** that.

From my perspective, it looks like you have two sides that aren't actually interested in helping innocent people not starve to death and get basic medical care.  Of which, we only support one (and support them very heavily).

Only one of them is supposed to have the Palestinian interests at heart, though.

Nobody has claimed credit for it, so it isn't clear that Hamas attacked it. Hamas has publicly said that they won't attack unless it becomes used to house foreign troops.

 

No aid to Gaza unless it meets Hamas demands…

What percentage of people with large gun collections do you think fantasize about committing mass shootings? Not necessarily would come up with a detailed plan or anything but just romanticize the idea of mowing down masses of people? 60-70 percent?

Doesn’t the district attorney determine what a person is charged with? I can see one cop being an asshole, but it seems weird that the da would wants to throw the book at the guy.

Trump responds to backlash over Noem killing her dog: ‘We all have bad weeks’

Former President Donald Trump praised South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as a “terrific person” when asked in an interview about the backflash she received over revelations in her new book that she shot and killed her 14-month-old dog.

“She had a bad week. We all have bad weeks,” Trump told radio hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton in an interview that aired Tuesday.

143 countries voted to support Palestinian statehood. 9 voted against (major being the US).  25 voted to abstain. 

 

Palestinians hate their official government (PA/Fatah) because they feel like it cooperates too much with Israel, and then when people protest against it, their security forces put them down.  They support Hamas, but I suspect it is the same way North Korea "supports" Kim Jong Un and Russia "supports" Putin.  I also read in my research that Gazans want PA/Fatah and West Bank residents want Hamas. But, I see videos of Hamas shooting their own people.  

 

Very interesting read:

Again an optimistic take. They support Hamas but they don’t actually support Hamas.

I guess America supports the president the elect but they really don’t support the president they elect.

Hamas instigated it but Israel is going overboard

 

I just hope we can reach a truce soon I'm tired of violence

Hamas’ infrastructure should be destroyed in Gaza. No truce, but a surrender. (And failing that, as I said all/most of Hamas infrastructure destroyed). A truce just pushes this down the road.

I would have asked, "Is Israel really at risk of losing this war?"  It's insane to frame this as "the Jewish state is at risk."  This is not an existential threat war.

 

Recently the UN general assembly voted to allow Palestinian state full membership.  Israel responded by sending up their delegate to compare Palestine to Nazi Germany and shred the UN charter. 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit:  it is not full membership, which requires security council approval.  The US is blocking full membership.  The recent vote was for certain rights and priviledges. 

It’s the Israeli ambassador. What did we expect?

I agree with Lindsay Graham. Do the job.
 

But as soon as the job is done there isn’t a reason not to allow Palestinian statehood, though. I doubt he agrees with that.

But until brain transplant are a thing we won’t live 100 years plus…. The organs are for people who have had some kinda trama or disease and are 35. They don’t do major transplants on 70 years olds…

The US and the rest of the world would not be providing the aid they are if Hamas ran Gaza.

Yes they would. Hamas does run Gaza. I don’t see how the two should be related.

In recent history, you could pick the date Israel targeted the aid convoy. Or the assault of Raffa. Or the future date when Netanyahu dies. Finding a solution to fix the cluster**** that is this particular part of the Middle East does not have to be seen solely as rewarding Hamas.

very optimistic of you to say they wouldn’t choose the date they killed the most Jews as the day to celebrate.

Who is stating that October 7 would be Palestinian Independence Day?

If it is what leads the the words recognition of the Palestinian state why wouldn’t it be?

From the patient himself:

Y’all are giving me too much; it’s like a luxury overload, I haven’t been able to do these things in 8 years, and now I don’t know where to even start allocating my attention,” Arbaugh said.

“The biggest thing with comfort is that I can lie in my bed and use [the Link]. Any other assistive technology had to have someone else help or have me sit up. Sitting causes stress mentally and on my body, which would give me pressure sores or spasms. It lets me live on my own time, not needing to have someone adjust me, etc., throughout the day,

Yea, I’m aware. My point is the politicians looked the other way until he got involved with politics.
