I was hoping that, based on the backlash against what feels like overkill, the Israelis would use the humanitarian pauses to consider an actual cease-fire. which is to say that I was hoping that Netanyahu wouldn't behave like Netanyahu.

as I keep saying, he's TFF with a PhD.
I agree, David.
My post was about "hate" against a class of people
in "our country" and the
open call for the extermination of them.
The seeming blindness
of educators, people who
are supposed to help govern
our country and set an example, and far too many
opinions from click bate
MSM who have not seen
any of the evidence that
was shown to those reporters
in Israel within days of 10/7.
The Gaza strip is 25 miles
long and 6 miles wide.
Where, in Holy God's name
can 2.5 million people possibly find safety from
is happening to them not
only from Israel, but from
within, from Hamas?
1 slaughter DOES NOT give
sanction for another of far
greater destruction. But neither gives anyone HERE,
the right to be calling or
instigating for the an
extermination of ANY class
HERE in our country.
gotcha, Victoria. and you're right, of course.
I don't know if I'm right or not,
David. Intellectually, I know the Mid East has rarely, if ever, been at peace. One
faction at war with another. Intellectually, I've learned
through history, hate for
one another; different religion; color of skin; politics;
sexual identity can lead to
terrible wounds, both physical and psychological.
It can lead to near extermination of an entire
race of people in our lifetimes,to say nothing of history's past eons. I guess
I had hoped we had learned,
as a world, from the horrors
of 2 World Wars, Vietnam,
2 Gulf Wars, Afghanistan;
the horror of Nagasaki and
Hiroshima especially, Ukraine.
And now Israel/Gaza. I don't
think we've learned anything
about how not to hate.
alas, Victoria...about THIS, you really ARE absolutely right.
