This will end with the destruction of an entire culture and sets back peaceful discourse for generations. Not enough people with a voice weep for the suffering of the innocent, regardless of the perpetrator.

No need for peace talks if you exterminate the other side taps forehead - Israel probably.

It’s truly a shame to watch this play out. And no this doesn’t mean I support Hamas. I just also don’t support Israel.

I agree native Americans should have had the ability and freedom to fight against their colonizing oppressors, and I think the same applies for any other group, Palestinians included. Should that be through Hamas? I don't know. It's not really for me to judge. They're being oppressed and murdered by a much more powerful force which is getting weapons and support from the most powerful nations in the world. They aren't going to win a conventional battle. The only option is what Israel will always call terrorism. What restrictions should be applied isn't really up for us to decide until we at least stop supporting the Zionists.

The Taliban will teach distraught family members how to deal with their enemies. I guarantee it.

It's hard to imagine how they can't realize this is just leading to further radicalization. So much so I have to wonder if that's either the goal or they simply don't intend on leaving anyone left at the end of this.

They know, but war is good for business and reelection efforts.
