" If I Only Had a Brain " Stable Genius

You do not negotiate with terrorists. That is a wrong perception.

[johnnydoe]

Will Fox News ever Broadcast the
Video of Traitor Trump Expressing
his Love and Loyalty to Hezbollah ? 😂

For not targeting civilians, Israel has killed a lot of civilians in it's many operations in Gaza. This time will be exponentially worse. And in case you are wondering, I absolutely abhor what Hamas did and stands for.

[carlyar]

Gaza has so much potential but the people in Gaza will never experience it as long as Hamas exists in Gaza.

[jsb]

Clearly, not targeting civilians and not caring whether civilians are hit are not mutually exclusive.

[petersummers]

To start off attacks against innocent civilians are acts of terrorism they cannot be condoned and must be condemned. Having said that, A people under military occupation have the right to resist that occupation. Therefore attacks against the military are legitimate acts of national liberation. Israel has the right to defend themselves. So do the Palestinians. Gaza is the Warsaw ghetto of the middle east. If you are a member of the military holding people captive in Gaza, restricting food and services going into Gaza you are a legitimate target. Armed struggle against an occupying military is not an act of terrorism.

[woofna]

You cannot negotiate with Hamas. That's a reality. The sooner it's accepted, the better.

[speak]

How do you negotiate with people who would cut off babies heads? This is not typical actions of conflict . I get it that many lives Israeli and Palestinians are being harmed by these barbaric monsters. Sure negotiate to turn every single Hamas member responsible for what they did then and only then does negotiating a different type of peace can begin. Peace is also death so let Hamas rest in peace!

[weltraumaffe]

"Unlike anything"? Where were you in 1967?

[wyoung]

If Hamas won, and somehow got their freedom, who would want to be their neighbors? Hamas has lost sight of what they (Hamas) have become.

[jamesgreenler]

We don't know rhe exact number of hostages and we are dealing with Hamas Palastinians who lie like Donald Trump

[jasonnacci]

CIA Headquarters:
"Activate our Gazan assets."

[gayleschoepflin]

To say that this is "Unlike anything Israel has ever confronted before" is ignorant. Read the Old Testament. Look at the Holocaust. This inflammatory speech does not help.

[JasonBoyce]

“Israel does not target civilians”
*Drops bombs on multiple buildings, killing hundreds of civilians*

[janesilvertooth]

I don't agree with any type of terrorism. Hamas is one such group. Why does no one mention that Israel was taken from a country called Palestine. By 1947 much of that country became Israel without the acceptance of the citizens of Palestine. Since take over by Hamas in 2023, citizens of Gaza have few rights to even flee their country. Many Hamas munitions storages are in civilian buildings. Half the population is children.🥲

[mikeperez]

Gee, Ali, it's good to see you, you know, because you are lit up, not like the people on the other side, as you said.

[edgardogonzalez]

The key question is why Israel had no knowledge of the size of the rocket stockpile Hamas created to unleash upon their land

[majsal]

What the israeli ambassador said about the future of Gaza is nothing but laughable

[quillowl]

sadly many unknowns, are the hostages alive, are the hostages in Gaza, or tunnelled to another location, an awful predicament, do the Israelis sacrifice hundreds, if not thousands of lives, Israelis, and civilian inhabitants of Gaza, when the status of the hostages is unknown?
