That’s nowhere near enough space! You’re going to need SEVERAL square yards!

telling them that you can do nothing about it is a pretty bad idea

Again, a military action is not the only possible response. Your “military or nothing” false dichotomy is beginning to grate…

What is it then?

I already told you I don’t know. Luckily, you don’t need to know what DOES work in order to know that a military response categorically DOESN’T WORK unless your aim is to cause MORE terrorism to happen.

Imagine Israel giving aid to Gaza right after Hamas attacked them, LOL

That would actually be a great idea. Would show Palestinians that, unlike Hamas, Israel cares about the innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.

They don’t, of course, but pretending so could have gone a long way towards reconciliation and the erosion of Hamas’ influence in Gaza.

Israel never wanted a stable Gaza

Which is objectively stupid of Israel, unless they have genocidal intentions and don’t care much about innocent lives. Which they’ve of course demonstrated is absolutely the case.

Military action has it’s downsides

Yes, most people would consider “needless deaths of civilians while causing more terrorism” a pretty significant downside.

but the government of any nation would need to do something in a situation like this

Of course, but “something” ≠ military action.

Taking steps in the past to make the situation better in Gaza, and in turn give people less reasons to join and support Hamas would have been be better

Fixed that for you

that ship has sailed

It most certainly has not.

they didn’t want it anyways.

Hamas may not, but the Palestinian civilian population which are the main victims in this most certainly do.

Of course military action is the answer

Gonna have to strenuously disagree with you there. Fighting terrorism militarily has invariably led to MORE terrorism as all the death and destruction makes it that much easier for them to radicalize and recruit the people whose loved ones go from human beings to collateral damage statistics.

I’m not sure I know what IS the best solution, but military action is objectively a not just ineffective but extremely counterproductive “solution”.

Found the shill. I hope AIPAC or whatever other de facto part of the fascist apartheid regime is at least paying you well.

I’d hate for anyone to work that hard at licking fascist boots for free, and every Shekel going to superfluous propagandists like you is a Shekel not going directly to trying to eradicate Palestinians.

The money flows forever as long as you toe the line for Israel no matter what.

And the moment they deem you not deferential enough to the apartheid regime, it flows to your main opponents and ads by AIPAC itself attacking you as an “enemy of Israel” or whatever bullshit they come up with.

This just in: 72% of the senate don’t give a fuck about the lives and human rights of innocent Palestinians, more than half of which are children.

These despicable genocide apologists need to be confronted about it wherever they go. They should not have a moment’s peace until they stop enabling the war crimes of an apartheid regime that brutally terrorizes every man, woman and child in Gaza (and most of those in the West Bank) every moment of every day.

I hope it’s not the left one. I only had enough shaving cream left this morning to do the other two.

Yup. I’ve mentioned it a couple of times, but most people seem to think or at least pretend that the Houthi terrorists came out of nowhere for no reason and suggesting otherwise gets you downvoted a lot.

It’s what plants crave!

A pinky swear is better than nothing when arguing intent, even if a bunch of justices signed it because there is no explicit enforcement

Not really, since that’s what almost precisely what they already did separately when they were sworn in.

To go through the trouble of affirming what you’ve already affirmed while insisting on no enforcement or consequences in response to a public demand for enforcement and consequences is borderline suspicious behavior…

do you think he knowingly lied to voters

He’s been known to do that a lot even by politician standards, yeah.

Or everyone could highlight the ridiculousness of the whole thing without hurting Biden’s prospects OR waste a lot of effort on a write-in campaign by all voting for this dude.

Yes.

Moscow Mitch doesn’t like carrying a wallet. Ruins the lines of the suit he’ll hopefully soon be buried in.

It could have been one tenth as much and still be a gigantic waste of money AND it demonstrates how they’re a bunch of gigantic hypocrites.

It’s the most Republican thing you can do with a car, except maybe driving into protesters.

That and being a fool of a Took.

Somewhat related: “UPS” is Danish for “OOPS”

The joint statement that they didn’t want any enforceable ethics rules was signed by all of them.

That means that, while not anywhere near as obviously corrupt and otherwise awful as the Federalist Society ones, the rest of the court is also against transparency and being held to a higher standard than a pinky swear, which isn’t a great sign…
