It was a clear and unequivocal statement about the Oct. 7 attack on Israeli civilians.
Will you denounce the attack as an act of terrorism.
If somebody can't answer yes or no to that, then it says more about them than it does of me.

I've been to Riyadh and Egypt and Abu Dhabi....I could tell the difference in culture between Arabs from open city to strict cities but Arabs in general are down to earth friendly people. At least the friends i made in Riyadh have taught me what and what not to do while I was there...I also learn, unless you are married, you can't hold your girlfriends hand in public....very interesting city but food and environment was great.
He dances around that question... He will consider Hamas actions "terrorism" but Hamas are not terrorists....
Why do you guys engage with him...LoL...all he does is namecall...he has no argument...
Of course I knew they would retaliate, of course Hamas knew they would retaliate.
Did you ever stop to think why they would attack knowing what the response would be, knowing they would be pummeled?
How about they're literally living in an open-air prison, they have no rights, conditions are so horrendous it's unlivable,
they're living in squalor and it's continually getting worse even without provocation.
I get it, you're Jewish I'm not, you carry baggage into this that I don't, but to keep dealing the anti-Semitism card and "they want to kill all the Jews"
is just convenient and dismissive. You show no sign of trying to understand what would motivate somebody to do something that extreme,
at the risk of their own survival. It's getting worse, nobody gives a shit, and Israel has carte blanche with no accountability, because of who
backs them. And you're convinced Israel's shit doesn't stink, 85% - 95% of Israeli Jews would beg to differ.
Not quite, you also said this.
And what's the difference anyway, it's the same thing, how else would you read it.Background & Overview of 2000 Camp David Summit

The answer here is simple - anti-semites will play the apartheid card, but cannot shake the facts that one side teaches their kids regular subjects like Math, Science etc, the other side teaches their kids to hate Jews. Full stop if you haven't seen the textbooks Gazan kids are given.
It stuns me to no end to see Israel vilified for having the audacity to respond and defend herself after having 1400 massacred under 2 weeks ago. It os mind blowing shit and a continual reminder that Jew hating (disguised as anti-Zionism) is never that out of vogue for some people.
If I said I know a Jewish supremacist when I see one in response to your post, you would interpret it any different?
You said anyone who calls Israel apartheid is an anti-Semite, which means you're lumping me in with anti-Semites.
Here's the problem w your argument. The HAMAS assholes did pretty much exactly the same shit that the ISIS assholes did a few years back.
Were the ISIS assholes "oppressed" as well. Or is it all just a combination of sociopathic, brutal people who conveniently seize on jihadi ideology to justify rapes, tortures and murders??
Ok, so Israel is doing pretty much what Hamas did x 10. What's the point?
Funny, ISIS didn't exist until the U.S. stepped all over the Middle East, I think that's more plausible.
Of course they're thugs, but they wouldn't be who they are without the initial cause.
Like Israel uses thugs to defend their own interests, what's the difference?
Tell me Netanyahu is not a vicious psychopath.
"Netanyahu is not a vicious psychopath". There you go.
Call Netanyahu an authoritarian asshole if you must.
The people who formed ISIS were always there. Maybe they thrived on the anarchy that eventually followed the US occupation and they certainly thrived on massive financing from the Arab states.
Ok, so all of this is supposition and just your opinion.
And I think Netenyahu is a vicious psychopath, and I don't see a problem with my argument.
Who knows what you are talking about. Why bring in ISIS….don’t you know enough about the history of what has been done to Palestinians to talk exclusively about them?
Israel can’t undo the release of this amateurish denial.

More Israeli incompetence.
I wouldn't call Netanyahu a vicious psychopath, but he is certainly a narcissistic power-mad man who will do anything to hold on to that power, including allying with the Jewish ultra orthodox far-right parties in Israel to form a coalition government, reduce the powers of Israel's Supreme Court to prevent personal prosecution for his financial crimes, and not trying at all to find a workable solution to the Palestinian issue.
Now Hamas, on the other hand, genuinely are vicious psychopaths, with no interest in a workable 2-state solution, and little sympathy for those Palestinians who would welcome such a solution.
Btw why isn't Hamas releasing the non-Israeli hostages? Do they feel they have more to gain regarding the Western world's support or compliance by holding them?
This means the summit with Jordan, the Palestinians and Egypt will not take place.

Hamas' strategy is to FORCE a humanitarian crisis and leverage it for a) Legitimacy and continued relevance and b) Hurt Israel as much as they can and c) Secure funding from sympathetic Islamic countries or from Western human rights organizations etc. They are motivated by revenge, racism, power and money. Until and unless they are done with, nothing good will happen to the Palestinians.
Lol, sounds like the definition of a psychopath.
There is no 2 state solution to work towards, that was gone a long time ago. There's no real estate left for the other state.
I don't know what Hamas has up their sleeve, I don't know if there's an end game or just trying to hold on to whatever leverage they might have.
