I would imagine many of those newly orphaned children might already grow up to look to Hamas even without the slaughter of more civilians. I think Bibi has already succeeded there. Its great that there are protests in Israel - but there also doesnt appear to be wide-spread concern for the Palestinians - just dislike & disagreement with Bibi.

I'm not sure that's true. I've talked to plenty of left-wing Israelis for many years now who have never been happy with the ending of any real efforts to effect a two-state solution.

and that's where a lot of the rage at The Prick Netanyahu (henceforth TPN) comes from.

increasingly, what I read in the NYT is as big a waste of time as these new cable series seasons that play like their scripts came right out of mediocre AI algorithms.

I hope you are right about Israelis wanting a 2 state solution.

TPN & TFFG! A matched set - almost.

the former president is someone I refer to as TFF (The Fat Fuck). I think of it as sort of a "Queens thing" (my sister used to live two blocks from the T***p home, which is far from the best house on the block; THAT honor is reserved for the owner of a large Mercedes dealership).

That works, too. TFFG means (to me) the f***ing former guy! So six of one, 1/2 dozen of the other, right?

I can DEFINITELY live with that.
