Kolek planning to go pro
The casualty numbers believed are pretty much agreed upon now by the Gaza health ministry and agreed upon publicly by Israeli intelligence. That’s not really a talking point to make anymore, as it’s pivoted from “untrue” to “sacrifices that are acceptable”Getting mad about people saying “what Iran wants” and being most concerned with “the optics”/“people won’t give Israel credit even if they achieve the impossible” isn’t really the point of the thread here. The topic is Israel continuing to target foreign aid workers in a deliberate manner which is way more effective at ruining Israel’s PR image than anything Iran is doing right now. The majority of your post is complaining about the fringe internet. Which you have admitted to falling into the rabbit hole of before. Twitter is not real life. But the people’s lives that these “bad optics” represent are real life. Well until they aren’t because AI told the drone operator they were part of an acceptable casualty threshold. Two thirds plus of Americans agree with a permanent ceasefire.
PR no matta. Survival as a country and as a people is what defending Israel is all about. Few seems to understand that, hey?
Its a war in which Israel was attacked on Oct. 7. By your own admission, you state Israel has the right to defend itself. So, what is it? Either the right to defend itself or the obligation to help Biden get re-elected, hey?
Raping women, killing children, torturing hostages...man, oh man, the hypocrisy here is unbelievable, hey?
Truly unfortunate for many of the well meaning and clean organizations that Hamas has its claws in so many other aid groups/the aid pipeline. Does the IDF have an overly itchy trigger finger when it comes to suspected targets? Yes, absolutely. Did they attack this convoy solely cause "screw Gazans, we're killing anyone who helps them?" Dont be naive.The sad fact of this whole situation is neither side is going to stop. Hamas isn't going to release the remaining hostages, they aren't going to withdraw from Gaza. Israel isn't going to stop pushing forward until they have eradicated Hamas. Unfortunately for Israel, most people who have any remaining interest in the war have chosen to forget that Hamas is still involved and that its an ongoing conflict. War is horrific. Even more so when its taking place in and around a civilian population.This is no more disgusting than any number of events that are going on around the world, it just has more media coverage.
If Biden and Blinken would shut up and get out of the way, Hamas would have been defeated months ago. However, that doesn't fit da Buffoon's agenda as he panders American Arab votes while his polling numbers are sinkin' faster than the Titanic, hey?
Brainwashed.

The thing is, everyone has denounced Hamas for reports of similar actions, but some here say it is perfectly ok for Israel to do the same, you being one of them.Israeli leadership has mishandled all of this, they are apparently doing everything they can to lose the respect and trust of the rest of the world. The Israeli people deceiver better, and so do the Palestinians.I'm still just hoping that this doesn't blow up bigger.
There's no way to prove this, but you keep saying it. Not surprisingly given your continued devotion to the king of lies, the antisemite Dementia Don.
He’s getting more adel minded by the week.
I cannot get past 13,800 kids...horrifying.
Quite the opposite, actually. He's been Israel's biggest ally in congress for decades, and has allowed this mess to continue to the detriment of his polling numbers. The youth is unhappy with him, as well as Muslim voters (since this is what you probably should have said, not Arab).
