360,000 troops called up, and reports the PM told Biden "we are going in".

Sounds like they plan to make sure no more rockets, tunnels are left.

You're putting words in my mouth.
I've already called you out on this lie and you couldn't back it up.
So stop lying.
I am absolutely not. Allow me to prove it.

Question. Did you believe that after the initial terrorist attack on civilians by Hamas that Israel would respond by attacking Hamas in Gaza or did you think that they would just take it and do nothing? Were you right or were you wrong?

Another one sided comment.

Because would any Israeli supporter here say they recognize Palestine's right to exist and Palestinians right to self determination or even Palestinians right to self defence?

No country has a 'right to exist', by the way. That's nonsense.
No problem adding onto the question that Israel would have to recognize an independent Palestinian state.

Like I said, no matter what I say you won't accept it.
Can you say this: "I condemn Hamas' latest terrorist attacks against civilians. They were immoral, they should not have happened and they should not happen again."

I composed this statement, so obviously if you repeat it, I would have to accept it but don't change it or add anything. Do not mention Israel. It is a simple statement for an avowed pacifist such as you.

My bet is that you are incapable of repeating this quote because you hate Israel and Jews so much it would kill you to repeat/admit that. Not being able to repeat that quote proves that what I say about you is 100% correct. You actually support Hamas' latest attack.

One side fights threats to their existence
One side fights to eliminate...
Which do you support?
Reality and history shows the Palestinians are fighting for their existence and the Israelis are trying to eliminate them.

I support the Palestinians.

This round of violence started with 1000 settlers storming the Al Aqsa on Oct 4, the same way the last round of violence in 2021 started, with thousands of settlers storming the Al Aqsa.

Basketcase cheered those settlers on and called them quiet and peaceful.
Was he right or was he wrong?

Have you ever called out settler terrorism?

I've already replied to this tactic multiple times, including twice in the last couple of times and multiple times in February.
There is no answer you accept so I refuse to play along.

I've called out violence from both sides.
Why can't you?

I cannot imagine the casualties in urban warfare of that magnitude. Every house is a fortress. There will be so much bloodshed 😞

Please stay on topic. It was a simple question. How it started is irrelevant.

The point is that Hamas launched an attack on Israel.

Did you think that Israel would retaliate for this attack or not?

Cite what? The HRW write up? It is there in the previous pages. Scroll back.
There are 32 pages here. Surely, you know where it is and can help me by citing a comment number.

Honestly, I don't even know what HRW is. I'm not sure anyone should be expected to know.

Anyways, this is just a silly debate. Whatever you are citing probably refers to a symmetrical war between standing armies. It probably doesn't anticipate guerilla warriors hiding behind civilians while launching offensive attacks on another country.

You are in your own world, aren't you Harry? 😂
I'm in the underbelly of the beast where a significant minority reside. In the coming years, we will be the majority.

Leftist laughter followed by tears of regret down the road is becoming a common theme.

On this particular issue leftists and neocons are one and the same.

Israel is not our concern just like Ukraine is not our concern.

The good news is that more people are waking up to this. In the coming years, Israel will garner less support from the West.

As the quality of life among Westerners declines, news of sending billions in war machines and welfare to foreign nations like Israel will be heavily criticized by all.

As the West imports more immigrants across the world, less of the population will be concerned with Israel's affairs. Chinese, Africans, Indians, South Americans don't care about Israel nor should they.
I don't think the West is in decline. I also think the West is the best hope for humanity.

Do you think China, Russia or the Third World are on the rise? I would suggest you read the latest economic reports coming out of China. Also, Xi has been clamping down on his people's freedoms. That is not a sign of stability and strength.

Your point seems argumentative for its own sake.

Yes. We're returning to a state with parallels to Feudalism. The haves and have-nots with nothing in between.

On top of that, Western governments are broke. The average citizen is living on credit.

As a Boomer none of this is relevant to you. You will live out the rest of your days in glory.

All of this political bantering is an academic exercise for you. It keeps the mind sharp.

Do you think China, Russia or the Third World are on the rise?
Comparatively yes they're rising. But it doesn't matter if they are or not. The Third World is being imported into the First World.

In 30 years you're going to have a sea of poor people in countries like Canada that you never thought possible.

If you think homelessness is bad now, get ready for a wakeup call.
