There are truly terrific liars on both sides.

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you, prevent inflation from eroding your savings, build generational wealth, and cultivate good habits and financial knowledge, you must be in the market.

Let me say this when Hamas did the same to Egypt they blew the hell out of Gaza and Hamas they' hit them so hard fast that Hamas learned not to mess with Egypt Israel only doing the same thing but this time they kidnapped bunch of people that Israel been working hard to get back at the same time ya have to rember they also are being attacked on their northern front and their west side so Israel has always had to defend it's self since WW 2

I guess im dumb, but didn't Hamas start this situation? I hope the Palestinian see their situation and who put them there? Why dont they "Hamas" negotiate to remove women and children from Gaza.

If Hamas hadn't broken every cease fire agreement in history with Israel we wouldn't be having this conversation.
