This has not been a single terrorist event. Hamas has been shooting rockets at us for almost two decades before the October 7th attacks. They are still shooting rockets at us, some have fallen yesterday and today. And I'm not even talking about the rockets shot at us from other Muslim nations, such as Yemen, that just proves that this is a Muslim against Jewish war and not an Israel against Hamas war. 19 Israelis were injured in a rocket attack from Yemen yesterday.

And how could you oppose both the occupation and annexation plans? Annexation is an end to occupation, no? I also think that the occupation has been going on for far too long, though I fault UNRWA and the PA for that as much as I fault Israel.

You've relayed one side of the story. I'm aware of the other side.

Taking both together, nothing you've said justifies what has taken place over the last 2 years.

And your comment on annexation as an end to occupation was truly bizarre, but ... unsurprising at this stage.

  • less than 60 000 people were killed in the Blitz against London.

    By your logic most of what happened in 1944 and 1945 when 350 000 to 500 000 German civilians died were probably injustice.

    But in the real world we need to deal with the people who again and again attack their neighbors in vicious ways.

    And we need to finish it.

    • No. WW2 was a response to the Nazi expansionism.

      What's happening in Palestine is the equivalent of what happens when allies don't fight back against occupying forces.
