skullguise Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 I'm mixed on this, it's horrible on one hand, but at the same time Hamas hides behind civilians anyway, including in or near schools and hospitals....even firing weapons from those locations into Israel. I will always support Israel, but this (really Netanyahu and his actions) have me questioning SOME of that support. I truly wish there was another way to break out Hamas from the civilian population and deal with them separately. One thing that does provide some comfort is that a big group of Israeli's want him out, and have been protesting in some very large numbers. Even members of the military have been organizing against him (not as a coup, but in protest). What I have not seen is any Palestinian civilians protesting Hamas government. Maybe they can't in fear of violence or death, but that also says a lot to me (before the fallout after October 7th, who was more oppressive to Palestinian civilians?). And many of those civilians cheered and spit on corpses of murdered and raped Israeli's being paraded through Gaza. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Man, have I missed out on all the fun here? I have no excuse, my home office serves double-duty as my blast shelter, so even when my windows shake from Iron Dome detonations I can certainly post. I can't share all the tea here on an open forum, but I'll make a point to pop by and represent the USG perspective on what is going on. This is obviously a subject that arouses very strong feelings in many (myself included), but as a paid propagandist working in exactly this area I think I'm uniquely qualified to stick my neck out. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Sawyers Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 We, the Brits with the USA, did precisely that to Dresden in February 1945. 1000 bombers in 5 waves. Lancasters and Flying Fortresses. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/apocalypse-dresden-february-1945 The total dead is only an estimate because so many civilians were burnt to ash in the resulting firestorms. We achieved that carnage in a mere 2 days. History does not speak kindly to this, and similar raids on civilian centres in WWII. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
