@metal-brain saidBecause they showed the FBI how to hack an iPhone?
Israel is not even in NATO. Why are we defending a non NATO member when we are broke?

@rajk999 said"Those looking from the outside might condemn such a relationship but the thing is, it works. "
Ok, Israel only... Well, the US-Israel relationship is like 'friends with benefits'. It is often one-sided, but both parties like it. Those looking from the outside might condemn such a relationship but the thing is, it works. 🙂 So maybe you are in the minority. One of the key benefits of having an ally in the dead center of the Mid-East is that they can contain arms ...[text shortened]... es this info with the US.
So what percentage of Americans do not like the US-Israel relationship?
Because Israel bombed a nuclear facility? That is your idea of a productive working relationship? If Jihadists came to the USA and bombed nuclear power plants here in the USA would you consider that productive of them? It works, right?

It's our colony, a landing site for planes in the middle east to control the heathens and the oil.
Also we have a general policy of supporting democracy.

@Rajk999
The Israeli occupation has been exposed to have been covertly sending weapons to Ukraine after it was pressured by the United States to do so.

Israel funds the war in Ukraine. Is that what works? Sending weapons to Nazis in Ukraine?
@averagejoe1 saidSorry,
Libs do not answer questions. I have said that 100 times. Why does no one listen to AvJoe? Why, that is a question as well.
Did you say something?
@metal-brain saidYou do realise you can support the Palestinian cause, but condemn the actions of Hamas. Nobody should be targetting civilians, especially children.
No. The Palestinians have a right to defend themselves.
https://new.thecradle.co/articles/over-1000-israeli-settlers-storm-al-aqsa-mosque
Both sides kill civilians so this is not an ethical competition. Do you condemn the Aqsa Mosque attack?
What the hell’s wrong with you?
@shavixmir saidHahahaha
Sorry,
Did you say something?
Hahahahah
Hahahaha
Might have only heard that exact joke 50 times?
@shavixmir saidWhy would anyone target children? What purpose would it serve?

Israel is killing children in Gaza because you cannot kill civilians without killing children, especially since half of the people in Gaza are children. That means Israel is knowingly killing children, but I don't think Israel is targeting children. I don't think Hamas is targeting children either, but like Israel they know when they kill civilians children are going to be killed too.
Why do you think either side would target children unless the children are carrying guns?
@metal-brain saidBoth are killing children.

If you can’t kill a bad guy without killing a kid, don’t kill the bad guy, think of a different method.
Just because Paul kills your kid, doesn’t mean that you have the right to kill Paul’s kid.
That is morality. That is the start of the way forward. Otherwise you are no different and action-reaction will be in a loop.
@Metal-Brain
So for you it was just fine Hamas killed 266 unarmed kids at a music fest, slaughtered them. Yep, those kids were SO dangerous they had to be assassinated.
@shavixmir saidThen condemn both for it, but don't say anyone is targeting children. Nobody is trying to earn a reputation for being a baby killer. What possible motive would there be for that?
Both are killing children.

What we have here is too much hate on both sides and Israel starting a ground war will only make the hate worse. Furthermore, I believe it is a trap. There are all sorts of tunnels filled with weapons waiting for the Israeli soldiers. Gazans have the home turf advantage and it will not be easy for Israel to pull off despite all of those advanced weapons they have. It will be a bloodbath.
