About 50K+ Palestinians have been killed most not associated with Hamas

They are indistinctly killing innocent civilians, and using the "casualties of a war" argument is invalid as there is no justification to killing and indirectly torturing innocent lives. Nearly the entirety of Palestine is in a famine meaning they do not have the proper food and resources to live a healthy life, so if they are not dead they are starving.

Engaged Israel

Israel was attacked and is defending itself. Hamas is a terrorist group that is holding innocent civilians hostage. The population of Gaza is victimized by Hamas by using them to gain world sympathy. Israel's total victory is necessary to defeat an evil, genocidal cult, which is what Hamas is. Finally, Israel is our most reliable ally and has intelligence services that protect us against Middle Eastern threats.

Well I don't think innocent people should be killed ever and its never ok because they didn't do anything

 @B7MPHNJ from South Dakota  disagreed…9mos9MO

In October 7th Hamas attacked Israel, the civilians had a democracy vote which they elected Hamas. During Nazi Germany some civillians gave the 12 million who died and many more tortured food and help. Some hostages from Israel reported nobody helping them. And many more (KIDS) Such as 8 year olds, were raped. They killed innocent babies, newborns and if you see the deal they are making it’s 80 Hamas soldiers that have raped, murdered, and tortured many others for 1 Jew back, and 40 Hamas soldiers for one dead body. Is this fair?

#5 Informed Israel

About your bs "democracy vote" argument, last "elections" were held in 2007, current median age in Gaza is <18, meaning most of the population either weren't born or weren't of voting age on the last election.

 @B7MRCZX from California  disagreed…9mos9MO

I prefer to have Israel own that section of land, it is unfortunate that what is happening is happening but that is war, any war crimes that are found from Israel should be stopped, but I support Isreal owning that land

 @B7MT6J2 from New York  agreed…9mos9MO

Agreed Israel is kinda acting like ww2 germany right now there’s protecting yourself and then there’s being a genocidal maniac and they’ve turned into the latter.

 @B7MXCHMGreenfrom Virgin Islands  agreed…9mos9MO

I agree with this statement. An Israeli minister has admitted behind closed doors to his gladness for Hamas being in power so that Palestine can be treated as a hostile state, and then they can carpet bomb it they want with an excuse to justify it.

 @B7MPH8SSocialist from Arizona  agreed…9mos9MO

Israel has been killing palestinians for the past 60 years hiding behind semitism, they create their own excuses for this and use our tax dollars to do it because they have a sting on all our elected politics and al they have to do is not bat an eye. They have dirty on us too.

 @BD7KWTL from Pennsylvania  disagreed…2mos2MO

The "innocent civilians" which would gladly give me free rooftop flying lessons just because I'm gay. Boo hoo.

 @B7MWRTK from North Dakota  agreed…9mos9MO

they should not be killing innocent people and children even if they are starving other countries can step in and help them

 @B7NDC9GIndependent from Wisconsin  agreed…9mos9MO

I agree with this. I think both sides are in the wrong and both need to be stopped. Israel are killing innocents, and Hamas also killed innocents. Israel is just getting away with it more often.

 @B7MQ98Q from Arkansas  agreed…9mos9MO

yes it is terrible what is happening in Gyoza and some thing needs to be done to help those still alive.

 @RIPCharlieRepublican from Pennsylvania  disagreed…7mos7MO

“using the "casualties of a war" argument is invalid”

War is Hell, as they say- The fact is that 80-90% of casualties in war are civilians. It's a result of the way wars are fought these day. Hamas is trying to stay close to civilians to force Israel to kill them- Hamas's greatest weapon is trying to levy world opinions against Israel. They're also the only source of news in Gaza, because there is no free press there.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
