I think its far past time for the current administration to push a lot harder at the Israeli government in regard to what they are doing to the Palestinian civilians. Sure does seem clear to me that the point behind this "campaign" is to eradicate an entire population - Hamas or not! This is beyond wrong.

Bibi has a firm belief in "disproportionality" - responding to an attack with far greater violence to serve as a warning against acting again against Israel. (Sort of like a famous protege of the late and very much unlamented Roy Cohn)..... He's wrong of course, and Hamas may have miscalculated the damage the Israelis would do, but Bibi ran into the trap Hamas set for him and the results long-term will be a gain for Hamas and a loss for Israel.....
I agree, Bruce but the death and injuries being done to people who were NOT Hamas? It just seems as though there is a consensus that they dont matter. After reading that article on Democracy Now - the thought of people being buried alive in so many of those bombings should open some eyes. Both Hamas & IDF are just inflaming this issue more. And there seems to be very little truth-telling done on either side.
Honestly, enough of the tippy toeing around by the state dept & others.
I do think Bibi's "position" is safe while he can keep this war going! Seems very clear on that point.
Like Trump (and Bibi is Israel's Trump), Bibi will do anything to stay in power because once he is no longer prime minister, he will most likely go to prison for the fraud charges he is facing. Staying out of prison seems to whet the appetite for doing ANYTHING to stay in power.....

How do you tell who is Hamas and who is not…
Good question, isnt it? Worth asking the IDF that question.
No argument here
