Gen. Jack D. Ripper was also interested in "purity", the purity of our precious bodily fluids - didn't work out too well for him. It won't work out well for these types either. Zealots can never compromise or negotiate, and they tend to lose all sense of proportion. There is no doubt that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza (in WW2, we ALL committed war crimes by current standards), and that is on Bibi and his Israeli-fascist cabal. But throwing away American democracy to teach Bibi a lesson seems a bit extreme. The very worst disaster for the Palestinians would be for Israel to be defeated and the Jews forced to vacate the middle east. In 5 years the Palestinians would still be the poorest of the people in the Mediterranean middle east, but this time with no Israeli economy with its better salaries.....

a silly point I'm making, but did Jack D. Ripper do any worse than the rest of the world when the fallout cleared?

yeah, but he died a lot quicker which, in this case, was definitely preferable. radiation sickness really SUCKS.

The Palestinians are so bereft of everything that no ME nation is stepping up and attempting to deal with Netanyahu on the Palestinians' behalf. Qatar is alledgedly on the case, but who would know it?
